15-Year-Old Cole Hammer Almost Brought To Tears On First Tee At U.S. Open [VIDEO] « CBS Detroit

Have you seen the documentary The Short Game? It's about young golfers and it's well done and available on Netflix. I'm curious about this year's u.s. open as it's in my home state for a nice change.

Yes, I saw it on cable, the Esquire network. They also had a series about kids in karting (Kart Life) and also junior football (Friday Night Tykes). Pretty much the same, parents and kids acting like adults. Very little about the joy of the sport.

Wasn't Tiger in it when he was fifteen?
