Golfing drama, based on a true story, starring Peter Mullan and Jack Lowden. In Victorian Scotland, young Tommy Morris is a talented golfer like his father, but he has very different beliefs about how to play the game.
A strained father-son relationship is at the centre of this modest drama depicting the early days of professional golf in 1860s Scotland through two of its pioneers. Peter Mullan stars as Tom Morris Sr, a respectful, well-liked greenkeeper who often caddies for upper-class gentlemen. His eldest son is Tom Morris Jr (Jack Lowden), an unusually talented player who isn't content to follow in his father's footsteps - in fact, he's determined to challenge the established order, since lower-class players aren't getting the payment they deserve. The young Tom's class struggles create more drama than his golf matches, and this is where Tommy's Honour comes into its own. Although nothing remarkable, this is solid, well-acted and perfectly enjoyable. In golfing terms, it's a par.
