From the Rough

When I first came across this gem on the Golf Channel, I thought Oh no not another feel good.movie.

It surprised me. Good acting, a thoughtful plot line and a fine bit of golfing.

The movie has a very interesting quote, about how we see the outer walls up high knowingly well that sooner or later, they will come down, and we'll be left with our own walls to deal with. So many things to learn from one single movie, most important being.. excuses don't work, whatever your background or resources you have, you can still win. And that should be the only aim. Loved the movie!

I really liked this flick! I thought the acting was really good overall.

Especially the Algerian guy Ben Youcef. His journey in the story was very interesting.

He starts off really rude and a jerk and then warms up and becomes the hero.

I've seen this guy on Law and Order and a few other things and I think he did a really wonderful.

The story is very moving and I like what it speaks to. That we all are the same and we all need to come together.

Definitely worth a check out!

Currently watching this movie. I looked up further info about Catana. Everything I read said that her first team was all Black males not the mix as shown in the movie. Just wonder why they didn't make that part of her story authentic. Enjoying the movie.

Taraji P.Henson played the role of a caring, but tough, take-no-excuses coach perfectly. The movie was well done and sweet (although the British dude was a bit annoying). Taraji is a very good actress and hopefully her talents will be further recognized in Hollywood. She should be carrying mainstream movies. If there is a movie god, please never let this woman be relegated to lower roles such as maids, servants, slaves or second fiddle. Taraji proved that she can headline a movie with her performance in this movie. She carried it, and was tough as nails and looked beautiful to boot. Great for kids and inspiring for girls and young women of all hues. Michael Clarke Duncan, although only having a few speaking parts, was also good and Henry Simmons was fine as always.
