A sermon written on a golf scorecard. Young pro Luke (Lucas Black) messes up, his rage fueled by his demanding dad. But in Utopia, Texas, he finds ex-golfer Johnny (Robert Duvall), whose wise week of lessons includes fishing, painting, horses, rodeo, even a delightful lass (Deborah Ann Woll). Duvall, in a gentle echo of The Apostle, gives Luke a Bible and a new, faithful manliness. Based on David L. Cook’s book Golf’s Sacred Journey, it ends at the Texas Open, where TV commentators talk of Luke defeating the “demons in his mind.” He has gone from the Old Testament (harsh dad) to the New (kind Johnny) and can now golf his way to PGA heaven.
