Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius is a 2004 biographical drama film based on the life of Bobby Jones, the first player in the sport ever to win all four of the men's major golf championships consecutively (which in that era, consisted of The Amateur Championship in Britain and U.S. Amateurs and the The Open Championship and the U.S. Open). The film is notable for the fact that it was the first motion picture concerning the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews that was actually given permission to film on location.
The film was shot in multiple locations, including Southern California, Georgia: Castleberry Hill, Covington, Griffin; and Scotland and St. Andrews, Fife.
The film flopped badly at the box office with an opening weekend gross of $1.2 million and $2,707,913 overall, against a production cost of $20 million.
The film received negative reviews, currently holding a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states "This earnest, monotonous biopic lacks dramatic tension and simplifies Jones' life." On Metacritic, which uses an average of critics' reviews, the film has a 45/100 rating, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
