A boy learns more than he expects when he tries to improve his golf game in this
drama.
Timmy Price (
Mason Gamble) is a 12-year-old boy who has begun to display a precocious talent for golf. Hoping to hone his son's interest in the game,
Timmy's father,
Mr. Price (
Dylan Baker), arranges for his son to have a summer job as a caddy at a nearby country club.
Timmy gets a crash course in the nature of class when he becomes aware of the sharp divide between the wealthy people who patronize the club and the working-class men and women who are there to quietly fulfill their desires.
Charlie Logan (
Philip Baker Hall) is one of the leading members of the club who is very much impressed when he sees
Timmy practicing, and suggests to
Mr. Price that
Timmy would do well to study with an accomplished player.
Mr. Price arranges for
Timmy to train with
Foster Pearse (
Gary Sinise), a local golfer who once displayed tremendous promise, but dropped out of the professional circuit after winning his first tournament. As
Timmy gets to know
Foster, he learns a lot about golf, but even more about life, and discovers there's a secret behind
Foster's decision to leave to pro tour.
A Gentleman's Game was the first directorial credit for producer
J. Mills Goodloe.
