In the movie Tin Cup (1996), Dr. Molly Griswold, played by the gorgeous and lovely actress Rene Russo, was clinical psychologist with a difficult new client. She agrees to help down-on-his-luck former golf prodigy Roy McAvoy, played by Kevin Costner (great in Bull Durham, Dance with Wolves, The Bodyguard and many others) regain his confidence in exchange for golf lessons for Ms. Griswold. It’s unclear, though, whether he’s more interested in getting back on the golf course, or just for the love of the girl. But what Roy doesn't know is that Molly is David (Don Johnson)'s girlfriend. And David is Roy's longtime golf rival.

What we know about Molly... she is intelligent, outgoing and confident. She lives by the advice she gives Roy: “Just be honest and take a risk.” (Molly said that line almost on the end of the movie). Of course, she told him that to help him ask out another woman, like Doreen (Linda Hart), but she’s starting to think that Roy has the potential to make her happy – as unlikely as that seems on the surface.

And after the movie... Kevin and Rene met again in 2015, on Critics' Choice Awards, when Kevin (Costner) received the honorary prize. Ms. Russo praised him and the movie: "It was a really good movie, and he is a really good kisser... I mean, he's a really good kisser." Both of them remain friends until today.

Hope u like it.
