Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score: 69 percent In on-course rom-com starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, a sports manager falls hard for a talented lady golfer, just as some reviewers fell hard for the film.
Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score: 82 percent The Greatest Game Ever Playedwas not the greatest golf movie ever made. But it’s up there in the algorithmic rankings, something of an upstart, not unlike its subject, the underdog U.S. Open champion, Francis Ouimet.
