Jamie Foxx is going where few African-Americans have gone before. No, he's not joining the NHL, but for his next project, Ingle Woods, he'll pick up a set of golf clubs and join the tour.

Easily described as a mix of Happy Gilmore and the real life accomplishments of Tiger Woods, Ingle Woods follows the hijinks of a scratch golfer who spends his time on the golf links when he's not flipping burgers at the local McDonald's (I think I smell a product tie-in). Finally, an agent spots him and convinces him to leave his fast food dreams behind to pursue a career on the pro golf tour.
