both disney and bill paxton do a fine job in convey a story that be base in fact . you do not have to like the game of golf to appreciate the story of one man struggle to overcome the odds . it could have be base on any sport or simply on any other situation which involve competition and though this one just happen to be relate to golf . the only problem i have with the story be that i would have like to see a bit deep into each of the main character and esp . mr. ouimet . mr. francis ouimet be a typical young man of his time and turn of the century america and where class line be well delineate and woe be it to anyone who deign to try to rise above his class standing . i do a bit of historical research and my big question be indeed answer and to my satisfaction . although the circumstance be a bit different than those portray in the film and i come away with a feeling of content . i thoroughly enjoy this movie and i believe you will too .
