“The best golfer isn’t the one with the fanciest clubs, it’s the one who can summon the will to keep swinging when things get tough.” An official trailer has arrived for an indie film titled The Long Game, a true story about a group of golfers in the 1950s who pushed back against American racism. This first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival last year, but hasn’t been released anywhere until now. Based on the book titled “Mustang Miracle” by Humberto G. Garcia, directed by Cuban-American filmmaker Julio Quintana.
