Golf movies are an under-explored sub-genre within sports films. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the cinematic art behind some of the best golf films. <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many of the other sports genre films, golf films have an interesting wrinkle that you don\u2019t find in many other competitions. Unlike football<\/a>, the other (American) football<\/a>, baseball<\/a>, or basketball<\/a>, for example, the central theme behind golf isn\u2019t man-versus-man; it\u2019s man-versus-himself. (You could also say man-versus-nature, but that\u2019s perhaps being a bit too literal.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately the sport of golf is about rising above oneself and one\u2019s own limitations. And for filmmakers, this can sometimes be a difficult concept to bring to the screen. However, in the hands of a suitable writer and director, it\u2019s also a core element that can make films great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today, in our series on the different sports film genres, let\u2019s explore some of the best examples of the golf film to see how different filmmakers have figured out how to tell stories centered around this self-focused yet highly cinematic pastime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
