The film claims to be based on a number of true stories involving Keith Flatt, a native Texan. In this film Augie (Jeremy Sumpter) is a high school champion golfer. He is discovered by a hustler named "River Boat" (Christopher McDonald) who uses Augie as a golf ringer to make money, of which Augie gets a decent cut. Augie's girlfriend (Jillian Murray) disapproves of the relationship. Augie's family needs the money as Dad (Elliott Grey) is not pulling his weight and is abusive. The film is a fun easy going drama. At one point they are playing the theme from movie "Sting." A decent film for a family night with teens. Guide: No F-bombs. No nudity. People undressing for sex, brief body grinding.

"You win your dead, you lose your dead. How's it feel to be caught in the squeeze?" Augie (Sumpter) is a local kid who has a passion and talent for golf. After winning a local tournament he is approached by a man named Riverboat (McDonald) with a life changing offer. What starts off as a fun and easy way to make money changes when he becomes involved in a bet where there is no way out. This is a movie that I thought could go either way, really good or slow and boring. Luckily it was the former. I really enjoyed this and have to say that the golfing was incredible. The actors, for the most part, did all the golfing themselves which really helped the believe- ability of what was happening. The movie really hugged the line of a gambling movie that has been done over and over and trying to remain new and fresh, for the most part it pulled it off. This movie will not win any awards but I really enjoyed this and it is the type of movie you can watch a few times. Overall, entertaining and enjoyable with enough new ideas to make it seem fresh. I give this a high B.

BRILL MOVIE. well as I am huge Golf fan and follower of Tiger Woods I loved, loved this movie especially the beginning. Spoiler: When the three chipping the ball across the town. That scene reminded me of Mr Bean's ''Tee Off'' episode. I love Chris MacDonald aka Goose in Grease 2. The ending of the movie was strange but made sense. Sorry no spoilers. Happy Gilmore was funnier though IMO. I thought Augie was cute too smiley face! I rate my movies fairly and in this case I rated it 9/10. The missing one per cent was the Ending! OK the movie was ''predictable'' but carried it off with light comedic moments. A must see for golf fans/players alike.

Horrible actors, script, and film..... Painful to watch. It is sad that people like that are involved in film I have nothing good to say about the film this site requires ten lines of text it is not possible to say a lot about the film other than it sucks it's horrible actors like that should be banned from film. They want a person to give ten lines about how bad this film was. The other posts that say it was good are lies, and they did not watch it. I wish I could forget I had ever started to watch this film and I am sickened by the horrible story line the actors, every bit of the film. Burn this film, no one should ever have to see such a horrible production
