Maurice Flitcroft is a life-long dreamer. Things have never been easy for the working-class family man, but along the way, he’s tried his hand at everything from writing and painting to high-diving and songwriting. His philosophy in life is simple: follow your dreams - something he encourages everyone around him to do as well
When 1976 arrives Maurice, with three adult sons and his loving wife Jean by his side, is staring down the barrel of unemployment as the shipbuilding industry becomes nationalised. Facing an uncertain future, inspiration strikes him one day – in the form of a golf club. With encouragement from Jean, he applies to enter the British Open Golf Championship, as a professional. The only drawback of Maurice’s plan? He has never played a round of golf in his life.
With pluckiness, optimism, and his twin sons - who happen to be champion disco dancers – at his side, Maurice pulls off a series of stunning, hilarious, and heartwarming attempts to compete at the highest level of professional golf, all without success, and much to the annoyance of the elitist golfing community - but to the delight of fans worldwide where his exploits became folklore.
Based on the remarkable true story of a man who embodied the ethos of “everyone deserves a shot at glory”, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPEN is the extraordinary story of an ordinary man who - with the encouragement of his family - made history by reminding us all to dream big, no matter how it turns out.
