What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Hawk turns a golfer’s refusal to accept his limits into a comedy of stubborn, sincere self-belief. Lonnie Hawkins treats his fading form as a temporary obstacle, even as his body argues otherwise. His pursuit of one last major gives the story a clear direction, with humor built from the distance between the comeback he imagines and the decline everyone around him recognizes.

Lance is both Lonnie’s son and his competition for the championship, making every round a test of more than golfing ability. Being surpassed by his own child gives Lonnie’s wounded pride a particularly personal edge. His ex-wife shares Lance’s belief that he is finished, leaving Lonnie to chase victory against a family verdict he refuses to accept.

His ex-wife and his son Lance, golf's new golden boy, know he's through. But with one more major to win to complete golf's Grand Slam, Lonnie refuses to believe he's anything other than one stroke away from the greatest comeback in golf history.
