The game of golf never looked so exciting until Shelton came up with this little gem about a stubborn golfer and his peculiar approach to the game. Costner really works under Shelton's direction and snappy dialogue. The romance with Russo does not ring true but you somehow overlook it because of the convincing performances.

The film is every amateur golfer dream.The best serious golf movie in my mind. As far as comedy golf films, Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack were fun, but Tin Cup played out the dream of contending at the US Open and letting it all hang out! I personally am not a huge Kevin Costner fan, however having said that a number of his films seem to be on my top ten list of favourite films. Untouchables, Tip Cup, Field of Dreams are all awesome films. I gotta say I do respect him. He chooses his films well.Personally I like the ending of the film. A man facing his demons and confronting them head on, even with all odds being against him. I loved this film.

You have seen Kevin Costner in this type of role before, like Swing Vote or Field of Dreams. Yet he always seems to do it so well. He makes golf seem exciting and brings a good character to it, and plays for a rival's woman in the process. The story and golf scenes are good, and I liked watching Costner in them. It has a good supporting cast too. You can't go wrong with Costner!** 1/2 out of ****
