Joe is a golf reporter who has missed more Father’s Days than he cares to count because that’s when he has to cover the US Open. But his son, Buddy, has counted every single one. Their relationship is fractured at best. Then one day, at a garage sale, Buddy finds a woefully obsolete set of golf clubs that supposedly belonged to Jack Nicklaus and decides to give them to his father as an olive branch. When Joe takes the clubs out on a whim, he discovers something unbelievable: he’s hitting 400 yards. Max “Hard Way” Mitchell used to be one of the best caddies on the PGA Tour, but now he’s the owner of a run-down driving range. When Joe is laid off, and Hardway realizes that with this magical set of golf clubs he is better than anyone on the tour, he convinces Joe to do the seemingly impossible --- win the Masters as an amateur. To do this, they'll need each other.
