"The Short Game" the director Josh Greenbaum shows and explains the world championship of golf, that is made up of kids 8 and under. It also explains how the children work to get the championship and how the kids sacrifice their childhood to become the next great golfer. The film first starts off showing interviews with the kids showing their home life and family, their love for golf as well as the kids goals in the future. The director then shows how the players start off their first hole. Unfortunately, for Jed Dy on his first hole he was only a minute late and was rewarded a ten stroke penalty, that without he would have won. As for the other golfers we were introduced to Allan, Zama, Alexa, Agustin, Sky, and Amari had good starts on their first hole. After three days of golfing the winners took the podium. Allan came in first for the boys division, and Amari for the girls. Zama finished in 18th place, and won the most improved award as he finished in 43rd the previous year. All the other competitors we met finished relatively well.
Personally, Josh Greenbaum's film "The Short Game" was a very good film, and I liked it a lot. I especially liked how they used a lot of cut scenes into interviews of the players, it really showed how involved the kids were in the tournament. Josh Greenbaum was also very good at showing how the parents reacted as their children competed. Overall, it was a very well-done film.
In Josh Greenbaum's documentary "The Short Game" he shows the hard work young children go through to be apart of the golfing World Championship. The producer first shows how hard they work by giving clips of interviews where the children go through their busy day to day schedule, and to conclude he presents the kids golfing well into the night or working out with a personal trainer whenever they are not golfing or at school by showing short clips of them doing this strenuous work. His purpose is to envision viewers in order to show how hard kids even younger than 8 will work to play golf. He seems to have a parent of an athlete, or any athlete audience in mind because the documentary highlights the fun all the athletes have working at a common goal.
