Tommy's Honour (2016)

This was a challenging movie to watch for two reasons.  One is that as is true in all things colonial, they acted like privileged idiots who were insufferable in their arrogance.  The other is that Tommy himself was pretty insufferable, so no one to like.  The best thing about this movie is that it is about the making of professional athletics.
The film is is tradition-minded, which is to say a tad nostalgic and unapologetically patriarchal. It concerns “Old” Tom (Peter Mullen) and “Young” Tommy Morris (Jack Lowden), who, according to titles at the film’s end, were “founding fathers” of the sport—a statement that’s closer to accurate if you insert “modern” before “sport.” (Indeed, golf was already old when it was banned by King James II in 1457 for interfering with archery practice.)
The historical turn reflected in the movie’s story was when golf moved from being a sport for aristocratic amateurs to a profession open to all classes. After a future-tense prologue, the tale begins in the 1860s, when Old Tom is a caddie and greens keeper who golfs but mainly serves his masters without complaint. When Tommy begins to show promise as a golfer, the two begin to play together, and turn out to be a team that’s rarely beaten.  They play and others bet, which the younger Tom found completely unacceptable.  He demanded--and got--a cut of the winnings, and so the era of the paid athlete began.
