I RENTED A GOLF MOVIE last week: “Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius.” It was an entertaining flick and I enjoyed it. Released in 2004 to mixed reviews, the film follows the early life of legendary amateur golfer Bobby Jones played by Jim Caviezel from childhood to the year he won the Grand Slam of golf in 1930 at age 28.
Much of the movie takes place in Atlanta, Jones’ hometown. There’s the schoolboy Jones running through the woods at East Lake Golf Club following club pro Stewart Maiden and imitating his swing. There’s Jones as a college student at Georgia Tech, hanging out in a pub with friends and courting his future wife, Mary Claire Forlani. There’s Jones at law school at Emory University, barely staying awake in class because he just returned from a long and grueling golf match in the Northeast.
