Filmmaker Ed Burns turns to golf to make his most personal movie yet

Ed Burns’ latest film project was borne from personal tragedy and profound sadness. And in the deeply emotional way that has become a calling card of his as a filmmaker and actor for some three decades, Burns nails it with a loosely autobiographical film, “Finnegan’s Foursome,’’ which is centered around golf and the deep relationships it cultivates. Some 25 years ago, I was randomly paired with Burns’ father Ed and his uncle Pat — both NYPD officers at the time — at a Metropolitan Golf Writers outing in Westchester.
