- Synopsis:
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, in 1950, 13 amateur women golfers battled society, finances and sometimes even each other, to stake their claim to become professional sportswomen by creating the Ladies Professional Golf Association (The LPGA). With humour, grit and raw talent, these underdogs not only changed the course of women's sport but created a timeless story of redemption and endurance. Through rare archival footage, historical re-enactments and current-day interviews with surviving founders and leading players, we tell that special legacy in this feature-length documentary. This film isn't just for those who frequent the golf course. This film is for anyone who believes in the transformative power of defying the odds. - Actors:
