Description: In every generation, a torch passes from father to son. And that timeless dynamic is the beating heart of 'Tommy's Honour'.

The intimate, powerfully moving tale of Tom Morris and his son Tommy, the real-life nineteenth century founders of the modern game of golf. Set in St. Andrews, Scotland, during the hidebound Victorian era, the story opens in 1866 as 15-year-old Tommy Morris (Jack Lowden) heads to the links with his father Tom Morris (Peter Mullan).

Catalogued from secondary sources including the BFI, Creative Scotland, the film's website and BBFC.

Credits note: "While Old Tom did not invent the game of golf, he is generally acknowledged as the sport's founding father.
He designed nearly 70 courses, including Prestwick, Muirfield, Carnoustie, Royal Dornoch and Royal County Down."
