Variety of comments:) I liked this because of the game, the history, the country & I've taken a photo of the St. A burial place memorial. If one wants more info on the Morris family there are books, this film may not cover all aspects. I found it amusing one of the producers of this film is named Gutta Percha - one of the very first products of golf balls. I've known Old Tom was (not a founder of golf) but a celebrated maker of balls, clubs & eventually courses & his great expertise as a golfer. Having played Royal Dornoch, I'm sorry I did not know the significance of the designer. Yes, the accent can be challenging, thank goodness for subtitles. The scenery was a bit limited to St. A area & likely not filmed in the summer months - the heavy coats shown in the bonus selection - well worth the time to view. Otherwise, the conditions shown of the course are accurate, not manicured as in the US. The bonus has the director Connery speaking of his personal experience on the course playing with his father & his reverence to Morris, leading him to making this film. No clue at the time that he's the son of, none other than Sean 007. I found that on a search.
