The Short Game

About This Movie

The Short Game is a fascinating look into the world of youth golf, capturing the intensity and determination of kids as young as seven. It’s a documentary that really gets into the minds of these pint-sized players, who are both charming and surprisingly serious about their craft. The atmosphere is a mix of innocence and fierce competition, even amidst the playful antics of childhood. The pacing feels natural; it takes its time to let us into their lives, showcasing their training, family dynamics, and the pressure of the championships. The performances of the kids are refreshingly genuine—there’s no acting here, just raw ambition. It's distinct in how it portrays the sport, not just as a game but as a stepping stone to something bigger.
