the greatest game ever played

if you're looking for a feel good sports story, check this one out. i didn't see tin cup or bagger vance, so i can't compare them to this movie at all. it's not as sentimental as rudy, or as dramatic as rocky. but it is a pretty well made, well told story about an amateur golfer in the 1913 u.s. open. the movie starred shia labeouf, currently in transformers, as francis ouimet. it was directed by bill paxton, who also directed one of my favorite movies.

it's also pretty cool to see the fashion these guys were playing in. or smoking a pipe while chipping out of a muddy sand trap.
