The point of the movie was to entertain and that’s just what it did. Kevin Costner was a champion golfer in college beating his friend for the title. The story takes place in a tiny town in Texas where his job is to take care of the golf course he owns. His downfall is when he falls in love with Renee Ruso, but she’s seeing his old college friend. The effect of this sequence of events is that he quits drinking and he ends up making a miraculous putt people will always remember. He doesn’t win the tournament, but he does succeed in winning Renee’s heart.
