Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist, managed to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship Qualifying in 1976 and subsequently shot the worst round in Open history, becoming a folk hero in the process.
This underdog golf biopic sometimes swings and whiffs with its hyper-quirky styling, but a bright script and game performances see it through.
