Tin Cup: A Slice of Charm, a Hook of Romance, and a Bogey on the Back Nine
Let’s set the stage.
In 1996, Tin Cup combined romance, comedy, and golf in a story about a washed-up golf pro trying to win back his love and qualify for the U.S. Open. Starring Kevin Costner and Rene Russo, the film blends heartfelt moments with absurd sports antics. Does it still hit the mark today, or is its charm tied to 90s nostalgia?
