How Well Do You Remember the Classic Golf Movie "Tin Cup?"

Roy McAvoy's character was inspired by golfer Chip Beck. At the Masters in 1993, Beck decided to play a par-5 hole conservatively and lost the tournament.

Roy is washed up when the movie starts. For the most part, he enjoys drinking more than playing golf.

Texas has a rich history of producing top level golfers. Legends like Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan hail from the state.

In real life, actor Kevin Costner spent plenty of time at the driving range, learning to play the game. He was even trained by professional golfers.

Two golfers who helped train the actors were Peter Kostis and Gary McCord. Both men are well-known teachers of the game.

The strange thing about this event is that it actually happened to Gary McCord in real life. He even made a bet, which he won.

Betting in golf dates back to the pre-modern era. In fact, that's how many golfers made their money before tournaments became widespread.

Similar to real golf, gambling was common on the set of "Tin Cup." In fact, the actors bet Phil Mickelson he couldn't hit a ball over a pine tree, which he did easily.

Years after the movie, actor Kevin Costner said his golf game never improved, though he was often asked to play in charity tournaments. That leaves many fans surprised since he starred in the movie.

The actor who played David Simms went from shooting over a 100 per round to shooting near par over the course of the movie. That's quite an improvement.

In golf, a caddie does more than just carry golf clubs. They are also responsible for helping their golf partner determine what kind of shot to hit.

Of course, a golfer and his caddie might not always get along. This is especially true when the caddie thinks he could play a hole better.

Roy's ego runs wild while being David's caddie. He goes as far as taking a shot to prove he's better than David.

Golfer John Daly's famous slogan was "grip it and rip it." This was a philosophy that Roy seemed to follow.

The U.S. Open is one of four major tournaments played each year in golf. The others include The Masters, the PGA Championship, and the British Open.

Romeo is one of Roy's best friends. They spend most of their time hanging out and drinking.

Many golfers have been known to suffer in the mental game. In fact, critics often contribute Tiger Woods' decline to his mental stability.

Sometimes athletes need to step back and just take advantage of an opportunity. It can be difficult, though, to tell a competitor to pull back and not go for gold.

A driver provides a golfer with the opportunity to make the longest shots. However, they can also be more difficult to control.

Frustrated with Romeo, Roy proceeds to break every club except his 7-iron. He's then stuck trying to finish the qualifying round with only his 7-iron.

According to Guinness Records, the longest professional drive ever was 516 feet. It was hit by Mike Austin in 1974.

Roy sure likes to bet. In fact, this isn't even the first time in the movie that he tries to bet his car away.

The shanks usually come about because of nerves. It's actually a problem for many golfers on the course.

Unlike the Masters tournament, the U.S. Open is held at different courses across the United States. The first-ever U.S. Open was held in Newport, Rhode Island.

Par on most golf courses is between 70 and 72. Most professional golfers play each round near par.

This act is the final straw for Molly. She finally leaves David, as her attention turns to Roy.

The lowest score ever at a U.S. Open is actually a 63. Five different golfers share this record with Justin Thomas being the latest to reach it.

Peter Jacobsen turned professional in 1976. He has 22 professional wins over the course of his career.

There are two types of hazards in golf. The first is, of course, water hazards, and the other is bunker hazards.

There's only one way for Roy to play, and that's to be himself. That's why Molly encourages him to go for broke on the last shot.

Over the years, golfers have learned many tricks to playing in the wind. One such trick is to hit the ball softer instead of harder because you can't fight the wind with a hard swing.

Roy is ecstatic when he finally nails the final hole after 12 tries. Those 12 strokes sure are costly, though.

In real life, Peter Jacobsen never won the U.S. Open. At least he got his chance in this movie.

Luckily, Roy's dream of being a pro golfer is only getting started as the movie ends. With Molly's encouragement, he looks forward to future tournaments.

Roy also ends up getting a kiss from Molly at the end of the movie. This makes it a happy ending for everyone.
