I enjoyed this lovely heartfelt biopic, history, drama, and romance. You don't need to know anything about golf, or even like it, to enjoy it. The lead actors, Jack Lowden, Peter Mullan, Ophelia Lovibond, and Sam Neill, are great. While the very first section of the movie is a little thin and TV-movie-ish, with predictable family scenes and sappy music, it recovers itself and becomes quite interesting once the major threads of the drama get underway, so stick with it and your attention will be rewarded. I'm happy to be aware now of this little-known chapter of fascinating history.
In 1800s England and Scotland "Gentleman" was a reference of being of privilege, and usually wealth. Golf was run by the elite, only "gentleman" were allowed inside clubhouses. The golf pro was a step down, a workman, he built clubs and manufactured balls and kept the golf course in good shape.
Old Tom Morris, a Scotsman, is often considered the first golf professional. While golf existed before he came along he made his mark as a champion golfer and course designer. But his son, Young Tommy Morris, born in 1851, was a better golfer who won The Open four consecutive times, but died at age 24, just a few weeks after his wife and newborn son died. He was a bright flame, a meteor.
This movie is about the father and son Morris, but focuses a bit more on Young Tommy, his love affair with an older woman who became his wife, and how he changed the trajectory of golf professionals. Until he came along the gentlemen used a golfer much like one might use a race horse, get him into a good match, pay him a small sum, and make lots of money off his winning matches.
Young Tommy changed that, he would demand a greater sum for himself. He could do that because everyone knew he was the best and if he decided not to play then there would be no winnings for the elite.
This is a very good movie that paints his life pretty faithfully, although there is a disclaimer at the end stating that many things were fictionalized for dramatic purposes. I think every die-hard golfer, like me, would enjoy this movie, and maybe even many who are not golfers.
I watched it at home on the Kanopy site through my public library's subscription, streamed via Roku.

Jason Connery (Sean's son) directs this story about old Tom Morris and his son Tommy written by Pamela Martin from the book by Kevin Cook. It's a bit surprising that the story focuses as much or more on the melodrama and personal story of the younger Tommy than the historical influences, but there is links action to give us a feel for the times.
Jack Lowden and his dimples portray Tommy, while Ophelia Lovibond plays his love interest Meg. Their relationship drives the story, and we are reminded that small-minded people were every bit as prevalent 140 years ago as they are now. Tommy's mother, their community, and even the minister of the Church pass harsh judgment on Meg and her unfortunate past. Combine that with the element of "Gentlemen", which are anything but, and we get an understanding of how Tommy's actions changed not just the game of golf, but also influenced the softening of the class difference. His push to bring respect and fairness to professional golfers erased the similarities with how race horses and golfers were treated the same from a wagering perspective.
This was the time of the original "13 Rules of Golf", and when rowdy crowd hovered right next to the golfers as they played. Other than the closing credit graphics, Old Tom Morris (Peter Mullan) isn't really given his due as a course designer, but this is really the story of his son, and though the film is a bit too long, it's a story that deserves to be told.

Had never heard of Morris Senior nor Junior prior to stumbling across this film. Also do not know much about the game of golf. Neither of these facts prevented me from being fully absorbed into the story. Actors did a fine job of depicting the characters, all of whom were credible. The ways and costumes of the era, believable. There was naught in the film that jarred me out of full absorption. Inspired and visually delicious, this is one that could be viewed over and over, still to find something new to love about it.
With scant knowledge of or interest in golf and no notion at all of the Morris father and son partnership, this film was not an obvious viewing choice. However, Mullan and Neill were a draw-card enough and so I found myself whisked up to the wilds and links of Scotland. Beautiful scenery, a social interest story of class, and a creeping disapproval of the unkindness of some religious attitudes drew me in. The central performances of Lowden and Lovibond illuminate the piece, and create the emotional heft. Even with no engagement with golf, it's impossible not to care about the fortunes of this young couple. Watch it with an Open mind and heart.
