Tommy’s Honour Film Review

[additional-authors]
April 10, 2017

History buffs and golf enthusiasts particularly will enjoy this straightforward, well-told true tale about two of the most important figures in history of golf. The Scottish father-son pair of Tom Morris and his son Tommy Morris figured prominently in the development of the modern game of golf.

Tom Morris was an excellent golfer and golf course designer, and helped bring golf to the modern game we know today, enjoyed all over the world by millions. His son Tommy was an even better golfer than his father, the best golfer of the nineteenth century. Tommy Morris would have set many more records had he not tragically passed away at the young age of 24.

This well-told film is beautifully photographed and well-acted by an outstanding cast, including Sam Neill and Peter Mullan. Directed by Jason Connery, the film releases April 14th, 2017. An enjoyable, fascinating story for golfers and non-golfers alike.
