TBS Developing Pro Golf Show With Bamberger, Bones & Robin

Nellie Andreeva reports from the upfronts on the TNT/TBS slate, which included the announcement of a development slate featuring "The Kid," a half-hour show set in the "high-rolling, fast-moving big-time world of professional golf."

Uh, not sure about the fast-moving part, but go on...

The Kid – To try and get his game back, a young and socially naïve golf prodigy named Quinn teams up with Joey, an unconventional new caddy. But much to the dismay of his father, Quinn learns more than just golf, as this new duo makes its way into the high-rolling, fast-moving big-time world of professional golf. The Kid is written by Donald Todd from a story by Sports Illustrated senior writer Michael Bamberger and writer Jay Hass, along with David Morse (Tremé) and professional golfer Phil Mickelson’s longtime caddy, Jim “Bones” Mackay. Executive Producers: Donald Todd, Greer Shephard and Michael M. Robin. Production Company: The Shephard/Robin Company. Studio: Warner Horizon Television.

Bamberger and Bones you know.

Robin is the creator, director and producer of a documentary on the making of Bandon's Old Macdonald. He's also an executive producer and the director of next month's return of Dallas to the airwaves.
