Synopsis

The Long Game, inspired by the book “Mustang Miracle” follows the true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955 who created their own golf course in the middle of the South Texas brush country. Despite outdated and inferior equipment and no professional instruction to begin with, they would go on to compete against wealthy, all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.

Being of Puerto Rican descent, my dad told me of the discrimination he faced growing up on the streets of New York City. So this movie hit home for me. Also as a fan of golf since I was young I wondered how Lee Trevino felt growing up and developing his game in that Era. It is a shame those things happened. But it also shows you how far we have come since than. Thank you for producing this movie and not allowing us to forget where we came from and the strides we have made to improve! Praise God for your talent and storytelling.

For this team and their coach, the long game is about whatever it takes to play and get on track to a championship, even if that means smiling at insults and swallowing their pride when the competition cheats. Ultimately, though, it's not about golf but about dedication, resilience, and the joy of finding you can do better than your dreams.

The Long Game doesn’t push itself far enough, but ultimately, it successfully and truthfully tells the story it set out to tell and has fun along the way.

The Long Game is determined to ape the tropes of a feel-good sports drama, but only as a means to an end, and its struggle to balance the demands of the genre with the deeper concerns underpinning this story ultimately stops either side of that equation from going the distance.
