Based on the powerfully moving true story of the

challenging relationship between “Old” Tom and

“Young” Tommy Morris, Tommy’s Honour recounts

the life of the dynamic father-son team who ushered

in the modern game of golf.

As their fame grew, Tom and Tommy, considered by

many to be Scotland’s Golf royalty, were touched by

drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his

father’s success, Tommy’s talent and fame grew to

outshine his father’s accomplishments and respect

as founder of the Open Championship in 1860 with a

series of his own triumphs.

But in contrast to Tommy’s public persona, his personal

turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against both the

aristocracy who gave him opportunity, and the parents

who shunned his passionate relationship with his wife.

Directed by Jason Connery, and starring Peter Mullan

(War Horse), Jack Lowden (’71), Ophelia Lovibond

(Guardians of the Galaxy) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park),

this poignant drama serves as both a deeply affecting

tribute to a true sporting pioneer, and a testament to

the unique bond between father and son.

JASON CONNERY, D IRECTOR

“ It is a story that is truly close to my heart as I grew up with my father on a golf course. It is an extraordinary and intimate tale of love and family at the beginning of the great game of golf ”

Tommy’s Honour — The Movie

East Lothian and Fife — the places behind the movie

Just a half-hour drive east of Edinburgh, East Lothian

is known as Scotland’s Golf Coast. With 22 golf courses

within its stunning coastline and rolling countryside,

this is a golfing paradise. Discover one of the oldest

courses in the world at Musselburgh Links or the

location of the first Ryder Cup played in Scotland in

1973, at Muirfield – a course that inspired Jack Nicklaus

to construct Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Having all begun in 1672, East Lothian has created

some of the most celebrated golf courses in the world

and established the perfect golf destination.

The Kingdom of Fife is unrivalled in terms of golfing

prestige, with St Andrews renowned throughout the

world as the Home of Golf. Home to the British Golf

Museum, 11 golf courses and countless historic golf

shops, St Andrews dominates the golfing scene in the

region. But Fife’s golfing story doesn’t end there. It is

has plenty top-class golfing experiences – from peering

through a submarine periscope on Elie’s 1st tee to

learning about the Scots who introduced golf to the

US at Dunfermline.

A trip to Fife is to follow in the footsteps of the

greatest golfers in the game – and a chance to create

your own golfing history.

Tom Morris Senior and Tom Morris Junior, better

known as Old Tom and Young Tom, are the most

renowned golfing father and son duo in the sport’s

illustrious history and both played a crucial role in the

development of the modern game as we know it today.

Born in 1821, Old Tom is known as the Grandfather of

Golf, playing a prominent role in the creation of The

Open, the world’s oldest professional golf tournament,

which he won four times in his career. He was arguably

more prolific without a club in his hands, credited with

designing or influencing around 60 courses throughout

the UK & Ireland, many of which are still considered

among the world’s best. Perhaps his greatest legacy is

the Old Course at St Andrews, where he created the

famous 1st and 18th holes – the most famous starting

and finishing holes in golf.

Young Tom Morris was regarded as golf’s first superstar,

winning The Open on four consecutive occasions by

the age of 21 – a feat that has never been repeated

to this day. His exciting playing style brought new

spectators to the game, with thousands travelling from

all over the country to watch his challenge matches.

Young Tom died aged just 24 in 1875 months after

the death of his wife and baby during child birth.

Although the official cause of death was a pulmonary

haemorrhage, some say he died of a broken heart.
