Tuesday’s (1, August) set was a MG’s Restaurant, the manager of the restaurant, Chanel Stiggers revealed that this is a great opportunity for restaurants and other small businesses to be showcased.
”I think we have a lot of cool mom-and-pop local businesses, and I think we’ve all been in business for so long and everybody cares about us and wants to keep us open,” the manager said.
He continued, “Just to be on the map like that, it’s really cool.” The filming would only take 21 days in total. When production ends at the golf course, the crew will move to various locations around Sherman.
On 26, July 2023, Wednesday, Legacy Ridge Country Club in Bonham turned its golf course into a movie set as the filming for the Sherman-Based Film, The Short Game begins.
The film is focused on a local story about the reconciliation of the two Sherman brothers. One aims to get a golf scholarship, and the other is autistic. Along the way, they learn that they are better off together.

The Short Game Update (2026)
Updated July 2026. The Sherman, Texas-set film that filmed for three weeks at local landmarks including MG’s Restaurant continued production through August 2023, drawing on downtown businesses and community landmarks around Texoma. The locally rooted shoot reflected a broader trend of small and mid-size Texas towns courting independent film productions for the visibility and local spending they bring. As with many independent features shot outside major production hubs, post-production and distribution timelines for these community-driven projects can run several years past the wrap date, and updates on a wide theatrical or streaming release have remained limited since filming concluded.
