Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius

James Caviezel went from one saintly figure to the next with Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, a golfing biopic so reverent of its subject that it might as well be titled The Passion of the Bobby. An amateur golfer who lived from 1902 to 1971, Jones is the only player to ever win all four major golf tournaments in one year and certainly had a story worth telling. I just wish it had been told with a bit of nuance.
