"A dreamlike look at a storybook hero. Bobby Jones - Stroke of Genius will transport you to a more innocent time in a way few movies can."
--Jeffrey Lyons, NBC/TV
Before professional sports became the behemoth industry it is today, the game of golf gave rise to one of the most gifted natural athletes the world has ever known. A man whose extraordinary talent and will to win earned him the Grand Slam of golf - a record he still holds to this day - and universal recognition as one of the greatest golfers in history. A reluctant hero, his grace and charm made him one of the popular figures of his day. His name was Bobby Jones.
Released in 2004, the major motion picture Bobby Jones-Stroke of Genius, starring Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ), earned stellar reviews across the United States and in the United Kingdom. As a companion to the film, British American published the full-color pictorial movie book, Bobby Jones-Stroke of Genius, The Movie and the Man. Spectacular photos from film locations in Scotland and America are included with some of the finest historical images of Bobby Jones. All are complemented by text from film producers, actors and other members of the film team, along with articles on Jones' life and accomplishments.
