From Maine to Florida, from Florida to the Midwest, from the Midwest through the Four Corners, the Pacific Northwest, even Alaska and Hawaii, this film explores the beauty and diversity of this country through the lens of public golf. The conflict of driving a '91 Dodge camper van, the constant mystery of the next night's accommodations, and a schedule that many deemed impossible, the narrative certainly does not lack drama. However, apart from the inevitable ups and downs of such a journey, this film explores much more. Golf is a game that for so long has carried with it a reputation. Golf has come to be synonymous with terms such as elitism, upper class, and the country club. This is not an unfair assessment, however, golf has another side. By playing public, inexpensive courses, talking with course owners and the wide variety of people who frequent the tattered fairways of this country, this film paints a picture of golf, away from the country club, at the courses that have helped shape the lives of so many.
