40 JULY/AUGUST 2026 THRILL TIN CUP (1996) Every golfer knows someone like Roy McAvoy. Gifted, stubborn, and utterly convinced that the risky shot is the right one. Kevin Costner’s charismatic antihero spends much of the film battling his own instincts, embarking on a journey that tests his ambition, pride, and willingness to risk everything for a shot worth taking. HAPPY GILMORE (1996) After discovering that his hockey slapshot translates remarkably well to golf, an angry and unconventional athlete stumbles into the professional game. He bulldozes his way through the professional ranks, and nearly three decades later, Happy Gilmore is still one of the sport’s most entertaining competitors. THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE (2000) Part sports film, part spiritual allegory, the film follows a former golf prodigy struggling to find direction, thus retreating from the game he once loved. Drawing inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita, the film treats the golf course less as a sporting arena and more as a place of self-discovery.
TROPICANA LIFESTYLE 41 BOBBY JONES: STROKE OF GENIUS (2004) Long before Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Jones became one of golf’s first global stars. The film traces his journey from a gifted young player to Grand Slam winner and co-founder of Augusta National. It explores the discipline, sacrifice, and personal convictions that helped shape both his career and the modern game itself. THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED (2005) Based on true events, the film follows Francis Ouimet, a workingclass amateur who finds himself competing against the sport’s most celebrated players in the 1913 U.S. Open. As social barriers and expectations close in around him, golf becomes a stage for a much larger story: a turning point that helped reshape who golf was for.
