This article aims to analyze the documentary The Short Game, 2013, a documentary about a Junior World Golf Championship, with children up to 8 years old, that occurs every year in the United States. What the documentary shows, more than the Championship, is the history of 8 of the best junior players before, during and after the Championship. The article purpose is to identify and relate concepts of body and image, existing in the documentary, using theorical concepts of authors as Baitello Jr, Durand and Kamper, in a way to verify how the themidia industry uses entertainment to the transformation of bodys into images, increasingly reinforcing this idea and behaviour.
