Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius

I am not a golfer and any time I have watched a golf tournament I have understood what people mean by the term "as interesting as watching paint dry" ... but this is a good movie about a wonderful sportsman, person and golfer. He gains the respect of all in the golfing world and keeps it by remaining an amateur. At one point he is forced to remind an envious professional golfer of the origins of the word amateur. It comes from the Latin verb to love, and embodies the idea of playing for the love of the sport, not for money. His old friend, a sports writer, predicts ... how very accurately... that once money becomes the reason to participate, a sport suffers.
