Drama about a man losing faith in himself

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2015)

There's a lot of drama out there about sports and the connection between sports and life itself. This movie is not an exception. Throughout and movie I'm sitting there hoping that some part of it will break out of the normal pattern, but unfortunately it doesn't. It doesn't stop there. The reactions of the characters is totally unrealistic throughout the entire movie. I realize this is fiction, but when you write fiction about human interaction and human behaviour, you should maybe try to make the characters behave like humans.
The boy is way to young to know so much about golf, and rants about it like he's been playing it himself for over 30 years. When a man wins a tournament, he's most likely to try to play some more but this guy just gives up again even though he earns a lot in the one tournament this movie follows.
His girlfriends reacts like a prostitute. She doesn't want to be with him when he's on a bender and out of the game, but when he wins the tournament she's suddenly there to pick him up.
The only positive thing about this movie is some OK acting from Matt Deamon.
