When I'm rating a movie, I start with five stars, and then add points when the movie exceeds expectations, or penalise it when it causes me to roll my eyes.
There was a lot of eye rolling here....
Now I know how casting works - you don't hire a golfer and teach them how to act, but they could've at least spent five minutes showing Ashley how to swing a club. It looks like she doesn't know one end of a golf club from the other. Brittany Bristow on the other hand is a professional. If she didn't already know how to play, she sure taught herself.
The usual "20 minutes to go misunderstanding" was so stupid it could've been cleared up in five seconds by Whitney saying no I actually want you to caddy me, instead of standing there with her mouth open.
The end of the tournament when Whitney "won" was a little premature: according to the golf world's dodgiest leaderboard, there were still people on the course who could win the match!
As for the penalties, I can't believe the golf nerds haven't been all over this. In literally the first scene, in a tournament no less, Whitney accidentally tapped her ball when she addressed it. That's a stroke and would certainly have been pointed out by the commentators. Later, when Brooke is addressing her ball in a bunker, she grounds the club. That's clearly a penalty, and I'm not even a huge golf fan!
