Tommy's Honour
In the mid-1800s, Young Tom Morris was, along with his father Old Tom Morris, a pioneer of professional golf. By the age of 21, he had won the Open Championship four consecutive times, a record that remains to this day. While the game of golf would put Young Tom's name on the map, it would also be his downfall. Based on the book of the same name, Tommy's Honour tells the story of a father and son, the role of class in British society, and Old Tom's mission to keep the memory of his son alive. Tommy's Honour comes to theaters April 17, 2017.
