The Phantom Of The Open | Movie Club Preview

BE THE FIRST TO WITNESS THE UNDERDOG ‘HOLE IN ONE’ COMEDY THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN.

JOIN US FOR A MOVIE CLUB PREVIEW OF THE STRANGER THAN FICTION TRUE STORY OF MAURICE FLITCROFT – A CHEEKY CRANE OPERATOR WHO SHOT THE WORST RECORDED SCORE IN BRITISH OPEN HISTORY, AND BECAME NOTORIOUS AS THE “WORLD’S WORST PROFESSIONAL GOLFER”.

The remarkable true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a crane operator and optimistic dreamer from Barrow-in-Furness who, with the support of his family and friends, managed to gain entry to the 1976 British Open qualifying, despite never playing a round of golf before. With pluckiness and unwavering self-belief, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious, and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, drawing the ire of the golfing elite but becoming a British folk hero in the process.

Starring Academy Award Winner Mark Rylance as Maurice, Academy Award Nominee Sally Hawkins as his wife Jean, and BAFTA nominee Rhys Ifans as his nemesis Mackenzie. The extraordinary story of an ordinary man, The Phantom Of The Open is an uplifting and moving comedy-drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars, no matter what hand you’re dealt.

REVIEWS

“The Phantom of the Open is a biopic of a refreshingly under-told story of an amateur player that let nothing stop him from etching his name into golf history”

“Every bit as touching as it is funny…unlike its main character, The Phantom Of The Open has no trouble beating par”
