'' Screen Daily '' , while acknowledging the film 's central father-son drama , also noted the portrayal of the class conflicts of 19th-century golf – played by the lower classes , attended by unruly crowds , and owned and bet on by aristocrats who controlled and profited from the sport . The review also opined that " As the principals play across the film 's varied locations , in all weather , viewers get a true sense of golf 's real grit , a more essential and raw essence of the sport than is achieved in most coverage today . " Kate Muir in '' The Times '' concluded that the film is " fairly conventional , and your pleasure in it will probably be predicated on your love for the game . " Conversely , Ross Miller in '' The National '' called the film " emotional , inspiring and deeply heartfelt " and wrote " You do n’t have to be a golf fan to be taken in by this engrossing , quietly passionate film that not only brings something new to the sports biopic table but also serves as a poignant , often heartbreaking portrait of paternal love and pursuing your passion with everything you have . " In January 2017 , Justin Lowe in '' The Hollywood Reporter '' said the film " offers an engrossing and accessible celebration of the game ’s modern origins , enhanced by striking locations and a standout cast . " In November 2016 '' Tommy 's Honour '' won Best Feature Film at the 2016 British Academy Scotland Awards ( BAFTA Scotland Awards ) .
