Never won, only played. Trying to find the touch.

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2002)

Robert Redford directs this fable about a mysterious caddy(Will Smith)who helps a once promising young golfer(Matt Damon)regain his magic touch. A former friend(Charlize Theron)entices/seduces him to play in a much talked about exhibition with Walter Hagan(Bruce McGill) and Bobby Jones(Joel Gretsch). Whimsical and a little far fetched, but entertaining. Very little knowledge of the game is needed; I'm sure golfers will see this movie a whole lot differently than I did. Smith of course out shines Damon. Theron is stunning. Also in the cast are Lane Smith and J. Michael Moncrief. Pleasant movie, but just not enough to write home about.
