Tin Cup 2

[Leftie_power]

I was just wondering when people watch movies like tin cup,bagger vance, happy gilmore and other golf movies if they think about sequels or dare i say it prequels to the movie. I know caddyshack 2 was a diaster, but i think you could make a case for a sequel to tin cup. If i was in charge of making a new plot line i would have it go something like this:
-After the U.S. open in which Mcavoy blows it on the 18th green, he is a tournament director's dream, he is a fan favorite and gets a few sponsper's exemptions into some tournaments were he fairs alright.
-Molly has a few clients on tour, and this is kinda a side-plot, her working with her clients and her and roy decide to try and go thru qualify school.
-After breezing thru the first two stages of qualfying school, roy is fairing well in the final stage when he trys to play a shot out of the woods and catchs a rock or a tree or something like that, injuring his wrist badly, The tour medical staff tells him he has done some seriuos damage and shouldn't continue to play, but in Mcavoy style he finishes the round, playing rather poorly but finishing, he plays the rest of the way but misses out on his tour card because of the injury and when he goes to seek major help he finds he has damaged his wrist badly and will need surgery(these are all just rough ideas, that could be buffered out by a real writer). After many failed attempts at surgery he is forced into retirement.
-Molly and Roy turn the little driving range in salomae, into a golf centre where they work with players on the physical and mental aspects of the game until one day many years down the road, a brass young student challenges roy to hit a shot, nearly 50 years old and not having touched a club in many years, Roy lets his head get the better of him and hits one, and hits it extremely well, which sparks a return to golf and prepartations for the senior tour(or grateful nearly dead tour as Mr.Feherty likes to refer to it as) and turns 50 just before the U.S. senior open were he makes it thru qualifying and into the field, pinehurst would be a great setting with all the history between mcavoy and the 18th, i think you could work the david sims plot-line back in as well.
-I figured the grill room was a good place for this, does anyone have any thoughts on this, i kno it's a pretty out there idea.

My quick response without a ton of thought is simply this: Tin Cup wasn't a golf movie, but a (pretty bad) romantic comedy with golf as a background. Perhaps even more than a romantic comedy, it was the personal tale of Roy McAvoy. Golf was just a prop.

Tin Cup 2 as you propose seems to focus mostly on golf and may not leave a lot of room for "the other stuff."

That's not to say it wouldn't work, just that it wouldn't be similar to the first one...

Tin Cup was, and still is, the greatest golf movie ever made. I would love to see a sequel and a prequel.
