The Greatest Game Ever Played
Near the turn of the twentieth century, young Harry Vardon becomes a champion golfer but learns that his amazing skill is no match for the class boundaries that exclude him from "gentlemanly" English society. A dozen years later, a young American, Francis Ouimet, fights against the same prejudice, as well as his own father's disdain, for a chance to participate in the U.S. Open against his idol -- Harry Vardon. The struggles of both men for acceptance provides the background for an amazing contest of skills.

The Founders
From IMDB: They were not supposed to be athletes. They were not supposed to get paid to play. They were not supposed to call the shots. But, they did.
The Founders chronicles stories of the founding 13 members of the Ladies Professional Golf Association as they fought to overcome incredible odds in order to form the longest running women's sports organization in the world in the late 1940's. Although fierce competitors in an intensely individual sport, The Founders worked as a team to shift the public's perception of what it meant to be a lady on the links. While their male counterparts drew adoring crowds and handsome purses for their athletic achievements, The Founders used money from their own pockets to stage tournaments in small, far-flung towns that questioned whether female golfers were even worth watching.
Together, they logged thousands of miles a week - marketing equipment and themselves with hit parades, clown cars and boxing rings - just for the opportunity to tee off from courses that they also had to groom. Love of the game and the ardent belief that, as much as the men, they deserved to be paid for playing fueled the determination of these sports pioneers. From the glamour girl to the consummate athlete, from the shy sweetheart to the boisterous "it-girl," The Founders' personalities, talents and drive collectively made the noise necessary to gain the attention of a sport long considered only gentlemen's territory...
