The Phantom of the Open
The (largely) true, story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator at a shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness who, with pluckiness and an unwavering self-belief, managed to enter the 1976 Open despite never playing a round of golf before and with an estimation of his golf abilities that far exceeded them. The extraordinary story of an ordinary man, this is an uplifting and moving comedy drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars, no matter what hand you’re dealt.
