Young golfer Luke Chisholm (Lucas Black) runs away after struggling in a big tournament. His father is his demanding overbearing coach. He crashes his car in the small town of Utopia. He meets an old pro Johnny Crawford (Robert Duvall) who promises to find his game if he stays for seven days. He falls for beautiful waitress Sarah (Deborah Ann Woll), and comes to terms with his father.
This is Christian movie with a lot of touchy Zen like feel. It's the Karate Kid of golf movies with Robert Duvall as the new Mr Miyagi. It all adds to its hokey charm. Robert Duvall is solid, and Lucas Black has good enough presence. This is a simple story and it does exactly what you expect. The only surprise comes from the ending.
The movie ends by not showing whether the important putt goes in or not. It's an unusual way to make a statement. I'm fine with it. At least, it's unique.
