Movie-"The Back Nine" - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**ringsarcle** · 01-03-2011, 06:26 AM

I'm not sure if this documentary has been mentioned here before. It follows a 40 year old independent film maker and movie festival director who decides he wants to become a professional golfer. While the film shows him putting together a plan that includes physical, mental, and golf swing training, it turns out to be more about how striving to reach your own goal can actually open your eyes to what actually are the most important things in life. It's interesting to see him try and manage a career, a family, and his dedication to improving as a golfer.

I didn't find the main character to be the most likable guy, but it was an interesting hour and a half. I watched it on Netflix through the Wii. I know we have members here that contemplate trying to get into to golf as a career. Give it a watch, it's worth the time investment.

Added to Netflix instant queue. Will probably watch it later tonight if the power doesn't go out from all this ice.

K well this is stupid.. Canadian Netflix it says it's unavailable?

This sounds very interesting. I looks like a good video to plug in during the next couple of days as the cold rainy days are back.

Being Canadian and speaking a foreign language, did you search for movies about 'goulf' instead of 'golf'?
