An actor who can play golf is wanted to star as legendary British golfer Harry Vardon in a film based on the best-selling book The Greatest Game Ever Played: Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet And The Birth Of Modern Golf.

IT IS 1900 and with three Open Championships under his belt and already dubbed ‘The Napoleon of Golf’, Harry Vardon had developed the most rigorous practice regime any golfer in the game’s history had ever followed and one that would not be emulated until Ben Hogan came along.
