1
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:20,666
Little bit of magic time.
2
00:01:20,749 --> 00:01:22,084
I feel it.
3
00:01:27,172 --> 00:01:28,715
Yes, sir.
4
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:38,642
Terrific shot!
I'm in the goddamn woods again.
5
00:01:39,434 --> 00:01:41,436
Goddamn.
6
00:01:43,981 --> 00:01:45,081
Damn it.
7
00:01:50,028 --> 00:01:52,656
I spend more time in the trees
than the squirrels.
8
00:02:00,956 --> 00:02:03,041
Wizard Two? Why not?
9
00:02:11,133 --> 00:02:12,509
Not again.
10
00:02:14,011 --> 00:02:17,431
I've had five heart attacks
in the last ten years.
11
00:02:18,932 --> 00:02:22,227
My first was on a golf course
in South Carolina.
12
00:02:22,311 --> 00:02:23,937
It wasn't all that bad.
13
00:02:24,021 --> 00:02:26,189
Couple of doglegs
that were more dog than leg,
14
00:02:26,273 --> 00:02:28,775
but all in all, it was playable.
15
00:02:29,651 --> 00:02:32,779
Assuming, of course,
you didn't die on the second hole.
16
00:02:32,863 --> 00:02:36,658
The second coronary was at Augusta,
where they had the Masters.
17
00:02:36,742 --> 00:02:38,827
Went down right on the first fairway.
18
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:40,203
It was a good thing too,
19
00:02:40,287 --> 00:02:43,665
'cause those greens probably
would have been the end of me anyway.
20
00:02:43,749 --> 00:02:47,044
My wife used to ask me,
before she passed on,
21
00:02:47,127 --> 00:02:50,881
why do I play a game
that seems destined to kill me?
22
00:02:52,257 --> 00:02:54,843
It all started back in 1928,
23
00:02:54,926 --> 00:02:57,679
when I was just a youngster
in Savannah, Georgia.
24
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,149
Jones and Hagen are really goin' at it.
They're neck-and-neck all the time.
25
00:03:09,232 --> 00:03:11,276
Nuts.
26
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,988
- What was it, 350?
- Nah. More like 400 with the roll.
27
00:03:15,072 --> 00:03:17,157
I don't care how good Jones and Hagen are.
28
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,785
Junuh could've beat 'em both
with his eyes closed.
29
00:03:19,868 --> 00:03:21,912
Junuh won that thing
three times in a row...
30
00:03:21,995 --> 00:03:24,581
Now, when I was growin' up,
every town had its heroes,
31
00:03:24,664 --> 00:03:27,000
and ours was Rannulph Junuh,
32
00:03:27,084 --> 00:03:29,669
an athlete who was a born winner.
33
00:03:29,753 --> 00:03:32,255
I wanted to be just like him.
34
00:03:49,147 --> 00:03:50,482
Ladies and gentlemen,
35
00:03:50,565 --> 00:03:53,360
Junuh has the most difficult shot
in the history of golf.
36
00:03:53,443 --> 00:03:57,614
He must sink this shot from 110 yards
to win the championship.
37
00:03:57,697 --> 00:03:59,866
He steps up to the ball.
38
00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:02,244
The crowd is hushed in anticipation.
39
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:06,331
Can he make this miracle shot?
And he swings!
40
00:04:06,415 --> 00:04:09,876
- Fore! Watch your heads! Fore!
- Look out!
41
00:04:19,344 --> 00:04:23,223
I'd never seen him play myself,
since it was before I was born,
42
00:04:23,306 --> 00:04:25,308
but it was said
that Junuh had been on track
43
00:04:25,392 --> 00:04:28,353
to becoming the greatest golfer
this country had ever seen.
44
00:04:29,479 --> 00:04:31,106
Titanic off the tee.
45
00:04:32,023 --> 00:04:35,652
Approach shots which fell to earth,
as Sam Snead once put it,
46
00:04:35,735 --> 00:04:37,946
"like a butterfly with sore feet."
47
00:04:39,156 --> 00:04:41,116
He won just about everything.
48
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:44,453
But even he was the first to say
that his most significant victory
49
00:04:44,536 --> 00:04:47,164
was winning the heart
of Adele Invergordon,
50
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:51,293
daughter of the wealthiest man
in Savannah.
51
00:05:45,347 --> 00:05:47,474
But fate plays funny tricks.
52
00:05:52,229 --> 00:05:56,942
It was a patriotic call to arms
to fight "the war to end all wars."
53
00:05:58,610 --> 00:06:02,197
Junuh and everyone else in town
believed it was his destiny
54
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,283
to lead the young men of Savannah
into battle.
55
00:06:13,458 --> 00:06:16,169
It was to be his crowning glory.
56
00:06:17,337 --> 00:06:20,382
But nothing could have prepared him
or anyone
57
00:06:20,465 --> 00:06:23,760
for the shock and sorrow
of what was to come.
58
00:06:27,597 --> 00:06:29,891
- Positions. Get ready.
- Ready, Captain.
59
00:06:29,975 --> 00:06:32,352
- Positions. Prepare to advance.
- Ready, sir.
60
00:06:34,104 --> 00:06:36,439
Sergeant, advance!
61
00:06:36,523 --> 00:06:38,149
- Advance!
- Advance!
62
00:07:41,421 --> 00:07:43,590
Confused, broken...
63
00:07:44,549 --> 00:07:48,094
and unable to face a return
to a hero's welcome...
64
00:07:49,888 --> 00:07:51,890
Junuh just disappeared.
65
00:07:56,561 --> 00:07:58,229
Hoping to forget...
66
00:07:59,898 --> 00:08:01,566
and to be forgotten.
67
00:08:04,486 --> 00:08:08,740
But Adele, being a woman of the South,
had survived worse than desertion.
68
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:15,288
And she moved on with her life,
dedicating herself to her father's dream.
69
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:19,292
We have here the most magnificent
golf resort on the face of God's earth,
70
00:08:19,376 --> 00:08:21,503
and I am building it here in Savannah.
71
00:08:21,586 --> 00:08:25,507
Krewe Island. Legacy to my sweet Adele.
72
00:08:25,590 --> 00:08:29,469
And we'd like to use all of you
as our main suppliers.
73
00:08:29,552 --> 00:08:31,971
Thank you very much.
That's quite an opportunity.
74
00:08:33,848 --> 00:08:36,142
"People don't obey it, we'll repeal it."
75
00:08:36,226 --> 00:08:39,562
Well, then repeal the Ten Commandments.
They don't obey that!
76
00:08:39,646 --> 00:08:41,815
And yet no law or statute--
77
00:08:56,621 --> 00:08:59,624
I was ten years old when Junuh came home.
78
00:09:01,876 --> 00:09:05,255
And the men take their tipple
from the Ripple of the real.
79
00:09:05,338 --> 00:09:07,424
The boys, they go home sober...
80
00:09:13,346 --> 00:09:14,446
Stop!
81
00:09:53,470 --> 00:09:54,888
Less than a year later,
82
00:09:54,971 --> 00:09:58,141
the Great Depression
that swept the nation hit Savannah.
83
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:10,403
Jobs were lost.
Stores and banks were shut for good.
84
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:17,035
And John Invergordon, having spent
his last dime on his great dream,
85
00:10:17,118 --> 00:10:21,080
opened Krewe Island on what
should have been a glorious spring day.
86
00:10:55,490 --> 00:10:58,076
It might not have been
a shot heard round the world...
87
00:10:58,159 --> 00:10:59,285
Oh, Daddy.
88
00:10:59,369 --> 00:11:02,413
...but it sure reached
every nook and cranny in Savannah.
89
00:11:02,497 --> 00:11:04,165
- Amen.
- Amen.
90
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:13,883
I'll be putting some doors and closets
in the parlor.
91
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:17,428
With luck, we could have boarders
within a few weeks.
92
00:11:18,513 --> 00:11:21,140
Hardy, you think you can
share your room with Cara Mae?
93
00:11:23,017 --> 00:11:24,811
What about the store?
94
00:12:17,864 --> 00:12:19,115
Oh, Jesus.
95
00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:22,785
I've died and gone to hell.
96
00:12:25,455 --> 00:12:27,832
It's not as though you got a choice,
Adele.
97
00:12:27,916 --> 00:12:30,585
Your Krewe Island golf resort
is dead and gone.
98
00:12:30,668 --> 00:12:33,129
You've got the gumption of a corn fritter,
Neskaloosa.
99
00:12:33,212 --> 00:12:35,673
My gumption
is not the subject here, Adele.
100
00:12:35,757 --> 00:12:38,134
Well, then what is the subject,
gentlemen? Huh?
101
00:12:38,217 --> 00:12:40,261
If it's your offer to take Krewe Island
off my hands
102
00:12:40,345 --> 00:12:41,971
for one-tenth of what my father spent...
103
00:12:42,055 --> 00:12:44,557
You are lucky to be gettin'
a dime on the dollar, Adele.
104
00:12:44,641 --> 00:12:47,185
...just so you gentlemen
can turn around and resell it
105
00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:49,479
to some Carolina paper mill
for a tidy profit?
106
00:12:50,521 --> 00:12:52,148
The fact that you've most likely
107
00:12:52,231 --> 00:12:54,400
got the deal in your pocket already
is not my problem.
108
00:12:54,484 --> 00:12:57,195
Maybe we should come back when
the shock of your father's passing
109
00:12:57,278 --> 00:12:59,697
isn't so-- so-- Oh, God.
110
00:12:59,781 --> 00:13:01,991
Don't bother. I'm not sellin'.
111
00:13:02,075 --> 00:13:06,162
You got a stack of debts that'd fill
every storage bay in the Cotton Exchange.
112
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:08,998
And I intend to pay them off. In time.
113
00:13:09,082 --> 00:13:10,750
With what? Ball tokens?
114
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:12,853
With the tons of money
people gonna spend once they know
115
00:13:12,877 --> 00:13:14,563
that this is the premier resort
in the South.
116
00:13:14,587 --> 00:13:16,381
Did I miss somethin'? Did I?
117
00:13:16,464 --> 00:13:18,841
Or are we not in the midst
of a great depression?
118
00:13:18,925 --> 00:13:20,760
There's still people out there with money,
119
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:23,012
and I'm gonna make sure
they know about Krewe Island.
120
00:13:23,096 --> 00:13:25,807
But how exactly
do you intend to accomplish that?
121
00:13:25,890 --> 00:13:27,976
- How?
- Well, how?
122
00:13:28,059 --> 00:13:30,812
How? I'll tell you how.
123
00:13:37,276 --> 00:13:40,071
I'm gonna have
the greatest exhibition match ever held
124
00:13:40,154 --> 00:13:42,699
on the greatest golf course ever built.
125
00:13:44,242 --> 00:13:46,577
- Bobby Jones...
- Bobby Jones?
126
00:13:46,661 --> 00:13:49,038
- ...will be playin' Walter Hagen...
- Walter Hagen?
127
00:13:49,122 --> 00:13:50,873
...for the grand prize of $10,000.
128
00:13:50,957 --> 00:13:52,709
- What?
- $10,000?
129
00:13:52,792 --> 00:13:56,087
- You can't be serious, Adele.
- $10,000 for one weekend?
130
00:13:56,170 --> 00:13:57,380
Well...
131
00:13:58,172 --> 00:14:00,341
I'd make it more, gentlemen,
132
00:14:01,009 --> 00:14:03,428
but that's just about
all I believe I can raise
133
00:14:03,511 --> 00:14:06,681
if I sell everything I own on this earth.
134
00:14:07,807 --> 00:14:09,642
Except, of course, Krewe Island.
135
00:14:09,726 --> 00:14:12,270
Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen
are comin' to Krewe Island?
136
00:14:12,353 --> 00:14:14,647
Playin' an exhibition match for ten grand?
137
00:14:15,481 --> 00:14:16,581
That's correct.
138
00:14:17,734 --> 00:14:21,029
They don't know it yet,
but that's exactly what they'll be doin'.
139
00:14:21,112 --> 00:14:22,947
Have you gone totally off your rocker?
140
00:14:23,031 --> 00:14:27,243
Nobody has the right to call Krewe Island
"Invergordon's Folly."
141
00:14:28,494 --> 00:14:30,705
Nobody. Good day, gentlemen.
142
00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:35,501
Adele!
143
00:14:38,254 --> 00:14:42,258
Nobody holds your father responsible
for this depression, Adele!
144
00:14:45,219 --> 00:14:47,472
You're a damn fool, Adele!
145
00:14:47,555 --> 00:14:50,016
Save your breath, Judge.
She'll sell to us.
146
00:14:50,099 --> 00:14:52,310
You really think Bobby Jones
and Walter Hagen
147
00:14:52,393 --> 00:14:56,689
are gonna come to Krewe Island just 'cause
Adele Invergordon wants 'em to?
148
00:15:03,571 --> 00:15:06,991
All four golf championships
in a single year.
149
00:15:07,075 --> 00:15:09,827
The Grand Slam. Simply amazing.
150
00:15:10,411 --> 00:15:13,581
I don't believe that's ever been done
in the history of golf, has it?
151
00:15:13,664 --> 00:15:15,083
No, it, uh--
152
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:17,168
It just takes my breath away.
153
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:21,005
You don't impress me as someone who tends
to lose her breath, Miss Invergordon.
154
00:15:21,089 --> 00:15:24,717
Did you know, Mr. Jones,
that reprobate Mr. Walter Hagen--
155
00:15:24,801 --> 00:15:27,720
who I hear spends his every minute
chasin' after women--
156
00:15:27,804 --> 00:15:29,972
has been approached
about playing in next's month's
157
00:15:30,056 --> 00:15:32,308
$10,000 Krewe Island exhibition match?
158
00:15:32,391 --> 00:15:33,768
No, I didn't.
159
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:38,272
But I'm not clear how this is an urgent
matter for the American Red Cross.
160
00:15:39,357 --> 00:15:41,734
- Did I say that?
- At the front door.
161
00:15:43,111 --> 00:15:45,196
May I speak candidly, Mr. Jones?
162
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:46,697
I wish you would.
163
00:15:47,615 --> 00:15:52,995
I've come here today to see you
because to the South, you are a hero.
164
00:15:53,079 --> 00:15:58,835
They see you as a young god--
brave, valiant, glorious.
165
00:15:59,794 --> 00:16:02,380
One of the greatest golfers
in the world today.
166
00:16:03,172 --> 00:16:05,758
I would say the greatest golfer
in the world today
167
00:16:05,842 --> 00:16:08,052
were it not for that
unfortunate incident last year
168
00:16:08,136 --> 00:16:09,679
when that profligate, Mr. Hagen,
169
00:16:09,762 --> 00:16:12,723
whupped you by 12 strokes
on your very own course.
170
00:16:15,810 --> 00:16:18,855
You say he's been invited to play
at Krewe Island next month?
171
00:16:30,074 --> 00:16:32,952
She has a remarkable talent, Mr. Hagen.
172
00:16:33,035 --> 00:16:34,579
I was the one who hit the ball.
173
00:16:36,581 --> 00:16:40,418
I wonder if you might excuse us
for just a couple of minutes, Anna Mae.
174
00:16:42,962 --> 00:16:44,422
It won't be long.
175
00:16:45,423 --> 00:16:47,008
A charming woman, Mr. Hagen.
176
00:16:47,091 --> 00:16:49,635
Although she gave me quite a fright
for a moment there.
177
00:16:49,719 --> 00:16:51,919
With so much weight distributed in front,
I'd have sworn
178
00:16:51,971 --> 00:16:55,516
she'd topple back to the floor
before she ever got to her knees.
179
00:16:56,684 --> 00:17:00,271
I do admire a man with your vitality.
180
00:17:01,105 --> 00:17:04,233
The South is in such
an unfortunate place these days,
181
00:17:04,317 --> 00:17:06,360
and Savannah most of all.
182
00:17:06,444 --> 00:17:10,031
The memories of our disastrous defeat in
the war between the states still linger,
183
00:17:10,114 --> 00:17:13,492
and with them, the defeated,
uncertain men who returned
184
00:17:13,576 --> 00:17:16,412
lacking the vigor we women
normally associate with your gender.
185
00:17:17,038 --> 00:17:19,040
And now, sadly, here is Savannah,
186
00:17:19,123 --> 00:17:21,709
teeming with
the most attractive young women
187
00:17:21,792 --> 00:17:25,087
and nobody,
absolutely nobody to satisfy them.
188
00:17:26,005 --> 00:17:27,506
Except for perhaps Bobby Jones,
189
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:30,218
who will be playing
in our Krewe Island tournament.
190
00:17:32,637 --> 00:17:35,473
So he says, "It don't matter what it is.
It won't hurt you.
191
00:17:35,556 --> 00:17:38,100
You just pop one in your mouth,
and you chew!"
192
00:17:42,355 --> 00:17:45,566
I'm pleased to announce
that Mr. Bobby Jones and Mr. Walter Hagen
193
00:17:45,650 --> 00:17:49,987
have accepted my golfing invitation
with enthusiasm.
194
00:17:52,949 --> 00:17:57,328
This, of course,
is Miss Adele Invergordon's commitment
195
00:17:57,411 --> 00:18:00,331
to her father's dream, possibly the most...
196
00:18:00,414 --> 00:18:03,042
Not one to concede defeat easily,
197
00:18:03,125 --> 00:18:07,004
Neskaloosa engineered
a local uprising against the tournament.
198
00:18:07,088 --> 00:18:11,092
And I'm sure that you boys would think
I've been drinkin' too much blackjack tea.
199
00:18:12,260 --> 00:18:15,137
These are our streets
that they're gonna be parkin' in.
200
00:18:15,221 --> 00:18:17,682
They will tax the limits
of our constabulary--
201
00:18:17,765 --> 00:18:20,851
Do you think one of them damn rich Yankees
202
00:18:20,935 --> 00:18:23,896
gives a hoot about Savannah
or anybody in it?
203
00:18:25,106 --> 00:18:26,482
Now, now.
204
00:18:26,565 --> 00:18:28,943
Now, we need the Yankee,
205
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:33,572
but we also need someone from Savannah
in the match,
206
00:18:33,656 --> 00:18:37,243
one of us, giving Jones and Hagen
a real run for their money.
207
00:18:37,326 --> 00:18:39,245
Then they'll know what we're made of.
208
00:18:39,328 --> 00:18:43,082
We need someone from Savannah
playin' in our tournament!
209
00:18:43,165 --> 00:18:45,626
What about Dougal McDermott?
He'd turn a trick or two.
210
00:18:45,710 --> 00:18:48,796
He's a Scot. The only time
he comes into town is to get drunk.
211
00:18:48,879 --> 00:18:50,506
Bobby Jones is from Atlanta.
212
00:18:50,589 --> 00:18:52,383
I said, Savannah!
213
00:18:52,466 --> 00:18:55,303
- The South. The real South.
- Yeah.
214
00:18:55,386 --> 00:18:59,598
Neskaloosa knew the golden rule
of politics better than anyone:
215
00:18:59,682 --> 00:19:01,517
If you can't beat 'em, lead 'em.
216
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,312
All right. Hold it! Hold it, everyone!
217
00:19:04,395 --> 00:19:06,522
There's one person we're forgetting.
218
00:19:06,605 --> 00:19:11,027
We all know there's one man
who hits gargantuan drives off the tee
219
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:14,113
and has a lock picker's touch
around the greens.
220
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:18,200
Savannah's own
Enderby "Cottonmouth" Conyngham.
221
00:19:22,455 --> 00:19:25,124
Wait a minute! He's 80 years old!
222
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:27,793
He'd need one caddie
to carry his golf clubs
223
00:19:27,877 --> 00:19:29,295
and two to carry him!
224
00:19:32,757 --> 00:19:34,383
Junuh could whip 'em both.
225
00:19:34,467 --> 00:19:36,010
You're off your rocker.
226
00:19:36,093 --> 00:19:38,679
Junuh couldn't whip
a dead possum in a gunnysack.
227
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:39,764
That ain't true.
228
00:19:39,847 --> 00:19:41,223
Oh, yeah?
229
00:19:41,307 --> 00:19:43,267
What about Captain Junuh?
230
00:19:43,351 --> 00:19:45,561
- Who?
- Captain Junuh.
231
00:19:46,812 --> 00:19:50,441
My dad says he's the greatest golfer
Savannah ever had.
232
00:19:50,524 --> 00:19:52,401
- Hardy.
- Well, it's true.
233
00:19:52,485 --> 00:19:55,946
- You must've said it a hundred times.
- Sit down, Son.
234
00:19:56,030 --> 00:19:59,575
The boy's got a point.
Junuh's born and bred Savannah.
235
00:19:59,658 --> 00:20:01,410
Exactly! And that is the point!
236
00:20:01,494 --> 00:20:04,330
- I heard he just disappeared.
- Whatever happened to him?
237
00:20:05,164 --> 00:20:09,377
Forget Rannulph Junuh,
assuming you can locate his whereabouts.
238
00:20:09,460 --> 00:20:13,089
I hear he's so far gone, he wouldn't know
a putter from a pussy willow.
239
00:20:14,006 --> 00:20:15,633
I know where to find him.
240
00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:21,430
You find him, Hardy, and we will be there.
241
00:20:21,514 --> 00:20:25,601
Fly, lad,
with winged sandals on your feet!
242
00:20:33,442 --> 00:20:36,654
If I live to be a thousand,
which doesn't seem likely,
243
00:20:36,737 --> 00:20:40,366
I'll never know where I got the courage
to call out like that.
244
00:20:40,449 --> 00:20:42,993
But once I did, I wasn't backing down.
245
00:21:09,854 --> 00:21:13,190
This could've been
the stupidest idea I've ever had.
246
00:21:23,451 --> 00:21:24,702
Captain Junuh?
247
00:21:26,370 --> 00:21:27,663
Captain Junuh?
248
00:21:29,331 --> 00:21:31,083
This is Hardy Greaves, sir.
249
00:22:09,455 --> 00:22:11,373
- You're crazy.
- Get outta here with that.
250
00:22:11,457 --> 00:22:14,835
Hey, just make sure you guys
save some of that money for me.
251
00:22:16,587 --> 00:22:18,005
What have we here?
252
00:22:18,881 --> 00:22:23,177
Well, well.
Look like we got a new card player, gents.
253
00:22:26,096 --> 00:22:28,682
It's all right, boy.
You don't need to be scared.
254
00:22:28,766 --> 00:22:32,436
I ain't scared.
I've seen men drunk plenty of times.
255
00:22:33,229 --> 00:22:35,814
- What do they look like?
- They ain't much to look at.
256
00:22:35,898 --> 00:22:38,651
At least not so much as
they seem to think it is.
257
00:22:38,734 --> 00:22:40,361
But they don't scare me none.
258
00:22:42,488 --> 00:22:45,324
Gentlemen, we may be lookin' at
the only male in Chatham County
259
00:22:45,407 --> 00:22:47,076
who isn't completely full of shit.
260
00:22:49,245 --> 00:22:51,205
What's your name, son?
261
00:22:51,288 --> 00:22:53,415
Hardy. Hardy Greaves.
262
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,461
You Frank Greaves's boy?
263
00:22:57,545 --> 00:22:58,963
Yes, sir.
264
00:23:01,924 --> 00:23:03,676
What brings you here, Hardy?
265
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,471
Maybe I'd better come back
when you're not so busy.
266
00:23:08,556 --> 00:23:12,268
"Busy"?
I thought you were gonna say "drunk."
267
00:23:13,936 --> 00:23:16,438
But I'm not busy and I'm not drunk.
268
00:23:16,522 --> 00:23:19,942
There ain't enough whiskey in Georgia
to get me drunk enough.
269
00:23:22,861 --> 00:23:25,281
How drunk is drunk enough, Captain Junuh?
270
00:23:27,575 --> 00:23:29,743
Good question, Hardy.
Come over, take a seat.
271
00:23:29,827 --> 00:23:32,037
I'll tell you how drunk drunk enough is.
272
00:23:32,121 --> 00:23:35,082
Aaron, you think you can find
the young man a bottle of Nehi?
273
00:23:35,165 --> 00:23:38,586
Expect I could.
Just as long as I takes my money with me.
274
00:23:43,716 --> 00:23:48,470
Now, the question on the table is,
how drunk is drunk enough?
275
00:23:50,431 --> 00:23:53,517
And the answer is
that it's all a matter of brain cells.
276
00:23:54,518 --> 00:23:55,686
Brain cells?
277
00:23:55,769 --> 00:23:57,062
That's right, Hardy.
278
00:23:57,146 --> 00:24:00,858
You see, every drink of liquor you take
kills a thousand brain cells.
279
00:24:00,941 --> 00:24:03,819
But that doesn't much matter,
'cause we got billions more.
280
00:24:03,902 --> 00:24:07,406
And first the sadness cells die,
so you smile real big.
281
00:24:08,907 --> 00:24:10,618
And then the quiet cells go,
282
00:24:10,701 --> 00:24:13,829
so you just say everything real loud
for no reason at all.
283
00:24:13,912 --> 00:24:17,041
But that's okay,
because the stupid cells go next,
284
00:24:17,124 --> 00:24:19,460
so everything you say is real smart.
285
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:25,007
And finally... come the memory cells.
286
00:24:28,135 --> 00:24:30,679
These are tough sons of bitches to kill.
287
00:24:33,474 --> 00:24:37,895
There's a golf match out at Krewe Island
between Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen,
288
00:24:37,978 --> 00:24:41,565
and there was a meeting to see who would
stand up for Savannah in the match,
289
00:24:41,649 --> 00:24:42,941
so I said you would.
290
00:24:43,025 --> 00:24:46,820
That's why I'm here: so you can beat
Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen.
291
00:24:49,031 --> 00:24:51,325
Hell, I'm a whole lot drunker
than I thought.
292
00:24:51,992 --> 00:24:53,285
I'll caddie for ya.
293
00:24:53,369 --> 00:24:55,913
You gonna caddie for me?
Against Jones and Hagen?
294
00:24:55,996 --> 00:24:58,123
- Yes, sir!
- I'll caddie for you too.
295
00:24:58,207 --> 00:25:01,001
Aaron will carry the clubs.
I'll carry the balls.
296
00:25:01,085 --> 00:25:04,129
- And I'll carry them little wooden tees!
- And I'll carry Junuh!
297
00:25:07,049 --> 00:25:08,384
I wasn't joking!
298
00:25:08,884 --> 00:25:11,595
I heard my dad tell how you won
every golf tournament
299
00:25:11,679 --> 00:25:13,305
there ever was in the South,
300
00:25:13,389 --> 00:25:15,224
and how you hit a drive so long
301
00:25:15,307 --> 00:25:17,810
that they made you stop playing
for 20 minutes
302
00:25:17,893 --> 00:25:19,687
just to measure it for a record.
303
00:25:19,770 --> 00:25:21,563
And how you swing righty,
304
00:25:21,647 --> 00:25:23,899
but you was in the woods once
by this tree,
305
00:25:23,982 --> 00:25:27,736
and there was no room to swing righty,
so you borrowed somebody's lefty club
306
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:30,239
and hit the ball six inches from the hole.
307
00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:37,037
It's time for you to go home, Hardy.
308
00:25:37,121 --> 00:25:38,580
I ain't goin'.
309
00:25:38,664 --> 00:25:40,916
Well, suit yourself,
'cause I'm goin' to bed.
310
00:25:50,259 --> 00:25:51,510
Night, gentlemen.
311
00:26:03,564 --> 00:26:05,399
What the hell you doin' in my house?
312
00:26:05,482 --> 00:26:06,775
Trespassing, Junuh.
313
00:26:06,859 --> 00:26:10,487
But on a matter of great importance
to no less than Savannah herself.
314
00:26:10,571 --> 00:26:13,490
Some delegate you got there.
Isn't it a little past his bedtime?
315
00:26:13,574 --> 00:26:17,494
Isaiah 11:6:
"And a little child shall lead them."
316
00:26:18,412 --> 00:26:22,875
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
Junuh.
317
00:26:22,958 --> 00:26:24,877
So what's in it for you?
318
00:26:25,836 --> 00:26:29,673
Pride. The great city of Savannah,
so close to my heart.
319
00:26:29,757 --> 00:26:31,717
So close to all our hearts.
320
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,219
Well, you're wasting your time.
I'm not playing.
321
00:26:34,303 --> 00:26:35,596
Why is that?
322
00:26:36,889 --> 00:26:38,390
I lost my swing.
323
00:26:39,475 --> 00:26:41,977
Then find it. Goddamn it!
324
00:26:42,686 --> 00:26:44,563
You're playing! That's all there is to it!
325
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:46,273
Savannah needs you, Junuh!
326
00:26:46,356 --> 00:26:47,357
Yeah!
327
00:26:47,441 --> 00:26:49,281
Why don't you get Dougal McDermott?
He'll play.
328
00:26:49,318 --> 00:26:51,945
Balls! We don't need some
sawed-off Scotsman
329
00:26:52,029 --> 00:26:55,532
pooping drives out 40 yards
in Jones and Hagen's way.
330
00:26:55,616 --> 00:26:58,452
We need a man with thunder in his fist,
331
00:26:58,535 --> 00:27:02,039
a hero to boom that pill out
past those golfing gods!
332
00:27:02,122 --> 00:27:03,222
We need a knight.
333
00:27:03,248 --> 00:27:05,751
You are our gentle-born chevalier.
334
00:27:09,505 --> 00:27:12,007
That's one hell of a speech, fellas.
335
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:14,593
I don't take no for an answer.
336
00:27:14,676 --> 00:27:17,721
Well, you're gonna have to,
'cause I'm not playin'.
337
00:27:17,805 --> 00:27:19,056
Now get out.
338
00:27:58,011 --> 00:28:00,013
Something you picked up on your travels?
339
00:28:01,265 --> 00:28:02,683
He's not mine.
340
00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:06,311
He's a little young
for a drinking companion, don't you think?
341
00:28:09,690 --> 00:28:12,192
So, Adele, what can I do for you?
342
00:28:15,112 --> 00:28:17,531
I think you know why I'm here, Junuh.
343
00:28:17,614 --> 00:28:21,243
I do. A little late to be out looking
for romance, though, isn't it?
344
00:28:22,244 --> 00:28:24,705
Would that do it, Junuh?
345
00:28:26,081 --> 00:28:28,667
Would you play in the match
if I had sex with you?
346
00:28:30,961 --> 00:28:32,671
Yeah, that would do it.
347
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,965
Well, that's good, Junuh.
348
00:28:35,966 --> 00:28:39,052
Considering how infrequently we've
seen each other since you've been back,
349
00:28:39,136 --> 00:28:41,388
I thought this was gonna be
a more difficult problem.
350
00:28:41,471 --> 00:28:42,973
Where would you like to do it?
351
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:47,895
Right here is fine.
352
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:54,985
Don't worry about him.
He's out like a light.
353
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,112
Take an earthquake to wake him up.
354
00:29:00,824 --> 00:29:03,994
For an earthquake, you'd have to play
many more tournaments at Krewe Island
355
00:29:04,077 --> 00:29:05,871
and do quite well at them.
356
00:29:14,504 --> 00:29:17,591
Well, how do you suggest we begin?
357
00:29:18,926 --> 00:29:21,178
Shall I just run and jump on you,
358
00:29:21,261 --> 00:29:24,473
or would you like
some preliminary romancing?
359
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:26,767
Romancing sounds good.
360
00:29:28,101 --> 00:29:29,201
Very well, then.
361
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:38,612
Here's one short kiss.
362
00:29:38,695 --> 00:29:42,324
It is, I'm afraid, all the romancing
I have in me at this time.
363
00:30:17,109 --> 00:30:20,737
I do hope I haven't given the impression
that I'm crying over us, Junuh...
364
00:30:21,905 --> 00:30:23,281
because I'm not.
365
00:30:24,491 --> 00:30:25,909
You're not?
366
00:30:27,619 --> 00:30:28,996
No, I'm not.
367
00:30:30,288 --> 00:30:31,873
I'm crying over Savannah.
368
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,501
Savannah?
369
00:30:34,584 --> 00:30:37,587
Over her pain and the pain of her people.
370
00:30:39,715 --> 00:30:41,633
You're in tears over Savannah?
371
00:30:41,717 --> 00:30:45,095
I am. I truly am.
372
00:30:46,430 --> 00:30:49,558
Then who would you take
your clothes off for? Chattanooga?
373
00:30:53,979 --> 00:30:55,105
Well.
374
00:30:57,149 --> 00:31:00,193
This certainly has been
a colossal waste of time.
375
00:31:00,986 --> 00:31:03,071
I didn't ask you to come here.
376
00:31:03,155 --> 00:31:05,282
No, you certainly did not, Junuh.
377
00:31:07,117 --> 00:31:11,163
You ever get tired of sitting around,
feeling sorry for yourself,
378
00:31:11,246 --> 00:31:13,415
a little golf might just do you some good.
379
00:31:14,332 --> 00:31:16,251
I've lost my swing, Adele.
380
00:31:17,586 --> 00:31:18,712
Really?
381
00:31:22,758 --> 00:31:24,051
Where did it go?
382
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:35,437
You can open your eyes now, Hardy.
383
00:31:36,646 --> 00:31:38,148
Your education is over.
384
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:40,776
Go on home now.
385
00:32:34,621 --> 00:32:35,789
Jesus.
386
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:53,906
Who's that?
387
00:32:54,808 --> 00:32:55,908
Just me.
388
00:32:57,936 --> 00:33:01,481
Just a man trying to find somewhere
to rest his tired feet,
389
00:33:01,565 --> 00:33:03,775
taking in some of God's glories.
390
00:33:03,859 --> 00:33:05,277
My, what a night.
391
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,778
I could've killed you out there.
392
00:33:08,071 --> 00:33:11,241
Oh, no, sir. See, I set myself
directly in front of you.
393
00:33:11,324 --> 00:33:13,034
Judgin' by how you was hittin' them balls,
394
00:33:13,118 --> 00:33:15,412
I figured that's where I'd be
out of harm's way.
395
00:33:15,495 --> 00:33:16,621
Excuse me, sir.
396
00:33:20,834 --> 00:33:22,961
They say you can tell a player
by his grip.
397
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:24,880
If you want some food or somethin',
398
00:33:24,963 --> 00:33:27,257
you can go on into the house,
help yourself.
399
00:33:27,340 --> 00:33:29,050
Oh, thank you kindly, sir.
400
00:33:29,134 --> 00:33:30,260
Yeah.
401
00:33:31,303 --> 00:33:33,763
Yeah, I always felt
a man's grip on his club
402
00:33:33,847 --> 00:33:35,891
is just like a man's grip on his world.
403
00:33:35,974 --> 00:33:37,517
Look, is there somethin' you want?
404
00:33:37,601 --> 00:33:39,394
Five dollars guaranteed.
405
00:33:39,477 --> 00:33:40,854
Guaranteed for what?
406
00:33:41,438 --> 00:33:44,733
Well, there's a big match comin' up
with Mr. Jones and Mr. Hagen.
407
00:33:44,816 --> 00:33:46,651
Fella gonna be needin' a caddie.
408
00:33:47,986 --> 00:33:49,362
You a caddie?
409
00:33:49,446 --> 00:33:51,948
Well, that depends. You a golfer?
410
00:33:55,911 --> 00:33:58,538
Well, I don't need a caddie,
'cause I'm not playin'.
411
00:33:59,372 --> 00:34:01,124
I don't play anymore at all.
412
00:34:02,292 --> 00:34:06,338
Oh. Well, thank you, sir.
I'll take you up on that food you offered.
413
00:34:06,421 --> 00:34:08,006
- All right.
- Evenin', sir.
414
00:34:11,092 --> 00:34:12,844
Don't make no sense, is all.
415
00:34:13,511 --> 00:34:17,265
Man say he don't play no golf,
yet he out here this shade of night,
416
00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:19,935
hittin' balls off in the dark
where he can't even see 'em.
417
00:34:20,018 --> 00:34:22,646
Well, I've done things
that made less sense.
418
00:34:23,605 --> 00:34:25,273
As we all have.
419
00:34:26,483 --> 00:34:29,569
For five dollars guaranteed,
I'm offerin' you my caddie services.
420
00:34:30,528 --> 00:34:32,405
For five dollars?
421
00:34:32,489 --> 00:34:35,909
You know the winner gets 10,000,
and the caddie's cut is 10% of that.
422
00:34:35,992 --> 00:34:37,160
So that's $1,000.
423
00:34:37,244 --> 00:34:38,828
I'll take five dollars guaranteed.
424
00:34:38,912 --> 00:34:40,080
You don't want $1,000?
425
00:34:40,163 --> 00:34:42,332
You already said you ain't playin'.
426
00:34:42,415 --> 00:34:45,126
And Lord knows
how awful you're gonna look if you do.
427
00:34:45,210 --> 00:34:48,463
So five dollars guaranteed
sounds pretty good from where I'm sittin'.
428
00:34:52,342 --> 00:34:55,345
Yeah, the rhythm of the game
just like the rhythm of life.
429
00:34:55,428 --> 00:34:56,721
Here.
430
00:34:57,764 --> 00:34:58,890
Here!
431
00:34:58,974 --> 00:35:00,809
- Oh, no, sir, I don't--
- Go on.
432
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:03,410
Go ahead.
433
00:35:04,437 --> 00:35:05,939
Well, thank you, sir.
434
00:35:10,443 --> 00:35:15,156
You know, some folks say you should
put the ball in the front of your stance.
435
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:17,075
Other folks say you should--
436
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:19,327
You gonna hit the ball or dance with it?
437
00:35:21,246 --> 00:35:23,498
I'm kind of partial to dancin'.
Me and this gal--
438
00:35:23,581 --> 00:35:24,681
Hit the ball.
439
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,388
So, you're a golfer.
440
00:35:38,471 --> 00:35:40,348
No, I don't play golf.
441
00:35:41,433 --> 00:35:43,476
Give me the damn club.
442
00:35:47,147 --> 00:35:49,774
See, the trick is to find your swing.
443
00:35:51,443 --> 00:35:52,610
What'd you say?
444
00:35:53,778 --> 00:35:55,780
Well, you lost your swing.
445
00:35:55,864 --> 00:35:57,532
We got to go find it.
446
00:35:59,117 --> 00:36:03,997
Now, it's somewhere in the harmony
of all that is--
447
00:36:07,292 --> 00:36:08,793
All that was--
448
00:36:13,506 --> 00:36:15,091
All that will be.
449
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:24,142
I ain't seen a man hit a ball like that
450
00:36:24,225 --> 00:36:26,853
since the North-South Championship
of 1916.
451
00:36:27,604 --> 00:36:30,732
They stopped play for 20 minutes
to measure how far it went.
452
00:36:32,317 --> 00:36:33,943
Bagger Vance the name.
453
00:36:37,530 --> 00:36:39,199
Come on, let's hit a few more.
454
00:36:42,202 --> 00:36:46,289
And that, they say,
is how Bagger Vance became Junuh's caddie.
455
00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:49,584
Oh, yeah. Give me one more just like that.
Just like that one there.
456
00:36:51,711 --> 00:36:54,130
I'm tellin' you the truth, Wilbur Charles.
457
00:36:55,590 --> 00:36:58,218
She was down to her panties and brassiere.
458
00:36:58,301 --> 00:37:00,387
And you were in the room
watchin' all the time?
459
00:37:00,470 --> 00:37:02,806
You really think
we're that stupid that we'd believe
460
00:37:02,889 --> 00:37:06,226
Miss Adele got down to her skivvies
with you right in the room watching?
461
00:37:06,309 --> 00:37:08,478
It's the God's honest truth, Eugene.
462
00:37:08,561 --> 00:37:11,773
Scalp me, shrink my head like a walnut,
and roast it on a stick
463
00:37:11,856 --> 00:37:13,525
if that ain't exactly what happened.
464
00:37:13,608 --> 00:37:16,361
She thought I was asleep the whole time.
465
00:37:16,444 --> 00:37:18,905
And that ain't all. Junuh's gonna play.
466
00:37:18,988 --> 00:37:20,407
He said that?
467
00:37:21,032 --> 00:37:22,742
Not in so many words, but--
468
00:37:24,702 --> 00:37:26,329
Hey, look over there.
469
00:37:26,413 --> 00:37:28,498
Ain't that Miss Adele now
across the street?
470
00:37:28,581 --> 00:37:29,681
Where?
471
00:37:29,707 --> 00:37:33,002
She just went into Louder's Notions.
I could swear it's her.
472
00:37:33,086 --> 00:37:34,963
I'd know that figure anywhere.
473
00:37:40,176 --> 00:37:44,013
Well, as far as Junuh is concerned,
I guess that's just about it.
474
00:37:44,097 --> 00:37:48,268
If we don't have someone from Savannah,
I will not support this match.
475
00:37:49,686 --> 00:37:50,979
All right.
476
00:37:51,729 --> 00:37:54,065
I'll play in your damn golf match.
477
00:37:55,024 --> 00:37:57,569
I should've let you finish
what you started.
478
00:37:57,652 --> 00:37:59,404
Now I got nothing to show for it.
479
00:37:59,487 --> 00:38:02,949
Oh, for the life of me,
I have no idea what you're referrin' to.
480
00:38:03,032 --> 00:38:06,536
- I can explain it if you like.
- I don't believe that will be necessary.
481
00:38:07,245 --> 00:38:08,746
God bless Savannah.
482
00:38:16,212 --> 00:38:19,048
The day that Jones and Hagen arrived
in Savannah
483
00:38:19,132 --> 00:38:21,134
was declared a holiday.
484
00:38:41,404 --> 00:38:44,199
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the first golf tournament...
485
00:38:44,282 --> 00:38:48,620
That's O.B. Keeler.
He writes for The Atlanta Journal.
486
00:38:48,703 --> 00:38:51,331
He goes wherever Bobby Jones goes.
487
00:38:51,414 --> 00:38:54,459
And that's Walter Hagen's man,
Spec Hammond.
488
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:56,878
They say Hagen won't play without him.
489
00:38:58,838 --> 00:39:02,884
And that's Grantland Rice, the most
powerful sportswriter in the country.
490
00:39:02,967 --> 00:39:06,221
And he's staying at our boardinghouse,
'cause he's nobody's man.
491
00:39:10,975 --> 00:39:14,854
Mr. Robert Tyre Jones Jr.,
of Atlanta, Georgia.
492
00:39:23,404 --> 00:39:26,449
Mr. Jones has won
13 national championships,
493
00:39:26,533 --> 00:39:31,204
including four US Opens
and five US Amateurs.
494
00:39:31,287 --> 00:39:35,166
He has also won all three British Opens
in which he has played.
495
00:39:36,251 --> 00:39:41,631
For the first time in history, last year,
won the Grand Slam--
496
00:39:41,714 --> 00:39:45,343
all four major golf championships
in a single year.
497
00:39:49,847 --> 00:39:52,433
But what is not well known is that
498
00:39:52,517 --> 00:39:55,436
at the same time
he was winning all his championships,
499
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,732
Mr. Jones was earning a degree
in engineering from Georgia Tech,
500
00:39:59,816 --> 00:40:02,360
a degree in English Literature
from Harvard,
501
00:40:02,443 --> 00:40:07,824
and a law degree from Emory University
here in Georgia, all with distinction.
502
00:40:13,121 --> 00:40:14,956
Mr. Walter Hagen--
503
00:40:20,587 --> 00:40:23,715
Mr. Hagen has won
11 national championships,
504
00:40:23,798 --> 00:40:28,720
includin' four British Opens
and five PGAs.
505
00:40:28,803 --> 00:40:34,601
And in one stretch, Mr. Hagen won
22 straight professional championships.
506
00:40:37,145 --> 00:40:38,479
That's work!
507
00:40:40,732 --> 00:40:42,650
Mr. Rannulph Junuh--
508
00:40:54,037 --> 00:40:56,039
Walter, I think we're the underdogs.
509
00:41:00,293 --> 00:41:03,463
Born and bred in Savannah, Georgia!
510
00:41:13,389 --> 00:41:17,143
Mr. Junuh won the Georgia Amateur
at the age of 16,
511
00:41:17,226 --> 00:41:19,937
makin' him the youngest man to ever do so,
512
00:41:20,021 --> 00:41:24,567
and until he left for the war
was considered the South's premier golfer.
513
00:41:25,318 --> 00:41:28,863
Mr. Junuh returned from the war a hero,
514
00:41:28,946 --> 00:41:34,202
decorated with the Medal of Honor
for survivin' a deadly mission in which...
515
00:41:35,745 --> 00:41:36,996
most...
516
00:41:43,628 --> 00:41:47,465
...the rest of his company
were tragically defeated.
517
00:41:47,548 --> 00:41:50,228
Makes you think twice about
stepping on his ball, doesn't it, Bobby?
518
00:41:52,762 --> 00:41:53,971
Mr. Hagen.
519
00:41:58,267 --> 00:42:00,311
Ladies and gentlemen,
520
00:42:00,395 --> 00:42:02,397
Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen,
521
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,857
and our very own Rannulph Junuh!
522
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,785
On behalf--
523
00:42:16,577 --> 00:42:19,664
On behalf of the great city of Savannah--
524
00:42:23,167 --> 00:42:24,919
Sure is some storm a-brewin'.
525
00:42:28,339 --> 00:42:29,924
So, where you off to?
526
00:42:30,007 --> 00:42:31,676
However far it takes.
527
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:34,595
You don't expect me
to stay around here, do you?
528
00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:37,682
No, not me. I consider it
one of the six great miracles of the world
529
00:42:37,765 --> 00:42:39,767
you was even there at all today.
530
00:42:39,851 --> 00:42:41,686
Let me help you with these things.
531
00:42:43,146 --> 00:42:46,065
You heard Adele. Bobby Jones
never finished lower than second
532
00:42:46,149 --> 00:42:48,234
in any tournament he ever played in.
533
00:42:48,317 --> 00:42:51,279
I believe Miss Adele said
he finished lower than second once.
534
00:42:52,029 --> 00:42:55,074
Must've been the week
he took his law exams.
535
00:42:55,158 --> 00:42:56,659
Yeah, I believe it was.
536
00:43:00,538 --> 00:43:03,416
You gonna be needin' these shoes
where you're goin', Mr. Junuh?
537
00:43:03,499 --> 00:43:06,544
- They look like they just about my size.
- Keep 'em.
538
00:43:06,627 --> 00:43:08,045
Thank you kindly, sir.
539
00:43:15,803 --> 00:43:19,223
Yep, sure is some storm headin' this way.
540
00:43:26,856 --> 00:43:29,358
It's a real pleasure
to welcome you to our home.
541
00:43:29,901 --> 00:43:32,153
It's a pleasure to be here, ma'am.
Thank you.
542
00:43:32,695 --> 00:43:34,822
Hardy, you take his belongings
up to his room.
543
00:43:34,906 --> 00:43:37,909
- Come right back. I got chores for you.
- Yes ma'am.
544
00:43:37,992 --> 00:43:41,579
Expect this is the most
exciting sportin' event ever.
545
00:43:41,662 --> 00:43:43,915
- Ain't it, Mr. Rice?
- Why is that, son?
546
00:43:43,998 --> 00:43:47,794
Why? 'Cause of Jones and Hagen.
They's out for blood.
547
00:43:47,877 --> 00:43:51,839
Oh, I didn't come for Jones or Hagen.
I came for Rannulph Junuh.
548
00:43:52,590 --> 00:43:56,135
You come all the way down
from New York City to see Junuh?
549
00:43:58,221 --> 00:44:01,140
I saw Junuh play once.
Then he disappeared.
550
00:44:01,849 --> 00:44:05,186
I'd love to see him play again,
especially against Jones and Hagen.
551
00:44:08,856 --> 00:44:10,900
Go get 'em, Junuh! You go get 'em!
552
00:44:10,983 --> 00:44:13,986
God bless you, Junuh!
Show 'em what Savannah's made of!
553
00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:15,988
Go get 'em!
554
00:44:16,072 --> 00:44:18,533
- Go get 'em, Junuh!
- Hey, Junuh, give 'em hell!
555
00:44:21,369 --> 00:44:22,870
- "Give 'em hell."
- You can do it!
556
00:44:22,954 --> 00:44:26,374
- Show 'em what you're made of!
- Junuh, make us proud!
557
00:44:41,889 --> 00:44:42,989
Damn.
558
00:45:48,664 --> 00:45:51,667
So I takes it you is interested
in bein' Mr. Junuh's forecaddie.
559
00:45:53,252 --> 00:45:54,352
No.
560
00:45:54,378 --> 00:45:55,588
No?
561
00:45:55,671 --> 00:45:56,771
No.
562
00:45:56,797 --> 00:45:58,049
No?
563
00:45:58,132 --> 00:46:00,134
Well, maybe I was,
564
00:46:00,217 --> 00:46:03,012
but I guess I just ain't got the nerve
to ask you yet.
565
00:46:03,095 --> 00:46:06,641
I ain't got time to wait till you does,
so this here what I'm proposin'.
566
00:46:06,724 --> 00:46:10,186
I'm gonna assume that just about
the moment you gets up the nerve to ask me
567
00:46:10,269 --> 00:46:13,648
gonna be just about the same moment
I decide I'm gonna tell you yeah.
568
00:46:13,731 --> 00:46:15,024
How that suit you?
569
00:46:16,025 --> 00:46:18,069
That suits me just fine, sir.
570
00:46:18,152 --> 00:46:19,403
Folks call me Bagger.
571
00:46:23,532 --> 00:46:25,076
Yes, sir, Bagger, sir.
572
00:46:25,159 --> 00:46:27,745
You may want to get to pickin'
the crud out of Mr. Junuh's shoes.
573
00:46:27,828 --> 00:46:30,498
You through with that,
we got measurin' to do out on the course.
574
00:46:51,102 --> 00:46:55,606
Junuh knew now that if he were to have
any chance at all in the tournament,
575
00:46:55,690 --> 00:46:58,943
he had no choice
but to come to terms with his demons.
576
00:47:02,029 --> 00:47:04,073
The only question in Junuh's mind
577
00:47:04,156 --> 00:47:07,326
was which demon
was givin' him the most aggravation--
578
00:47:07,410 --> 00:47:10,121
Bagger Vance or Miss Adele Invergordon.
579
00:47:11,580 --> 00:47:14,834
Mr. Jones? Could you hold, please?
580
00:47:18,671 --> 00:47:20,923
Thank you very much, Mr. Jones.
581
00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:24,593
Mr. Hagen.
582
00:47:25,928 --> 00:47:27,930
How are you this evening?
583
00:47:32,768 --> 00:47:36,522
- Okay.
- Anytime now. Right there.
584
00:47:37,148 --> 00:47:39,734
- Oh, dear.
- That's very nice.
585
00:47:39,817 --> 00:47:41,694
Thank you very much, Mr. Hagen.
586
00:47:52,913 --> 00:47:54,582
Dance and a picture, sir?
587
00:47:57,334 --> 00:47:59,003
Thank you very much.
588
00:48:01,714 --> 00:48:04,592
That's it. Very nice.
Look right over here.
589
00:48:04,675 --> 00:48:05,801
Big smile.
590
00:48:05,885 --> 00:48:08,137
No, don't stop dancin'. Stay together.
591
00:48:08,220 --> 00:48:11,182
Just pretend there's music.
Keep goin'. Keep goin'.
592
00:48:11,265 --> 00:48:14,143
Look right over here. Okay.
593
00:48:16,687 --> 00:48:18,230
Give me a smile.
594
00:48:20,274 --> 00:48:21,859
Thank you very much.
595
00:48:27,823 --> 00:48:30,326
- May I have the pleasure of this dance?
- Of course.
596
00:48:39,043 --> 00:48:40,143
Longer.
597
00:48:40,753 --> 00:48:41,962
A little shorter.
598
00:48:43,255 --> 00:48:44,381
How's that?
599
00:48:45,549 --> 00:48:47,635
Yeah, that's good.
One stride equals a yard.
600
00:48:47,718 --> 00:48:50,179
You go on over to the tee
and start countin'.
601
00:48:50,262 --> 00:48:53,432
Top golfers always tried
to get a leg up on the competition
602
00:48:53,516 --> 00:48:56,685
by havin' the men they trusted most
sneak onto the course at night
603
00:48:56,769 --> 00:48:58,729
and do their own measurements.
604
00:48:58,813 --> 00:49:02,942
So Bagger and I walked the course
that night, measurin' away.
605
00:49:03,025 --> 00:49:07,071
Bagger never wrote down a number.
He filed it all in his head.
606
00:49:11,242 --> 00:49:12,576
Hit one a little harder.
607
00:49:17,540 --> 00:49:18,874
Go on, do that again.
608
00:49:22,002 --> 00:49:25,131
Yeah, right here
is where this game is won,
609
00:49:25,214 --> 00:49:26,715
right here on the green.
610
00:49:27,550 --> 00:49:29,426
But first you got to see it.
611
00:49:29,510 --> 00:49:33,597
Sun gonna be there in the mornin',
over there in the afternoon.
612
00:49:34,723 --> 00:49:38,602
Funny thing is, the blades of grass
are gonna follow the sun.
613
00:49:43,357 --> 00:49:44,817
The grain is gonna shift.
614
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,653
That same putt...
615
00:49:48,696 --> 00:49:52,116
is gonna go one way in the mornin',
t'other in the afternoon.
616
00:49:53,117 --> 00:49:56,537
One way in the mornin',
t'other in the afternoon.
617
00:49:57,163 --> 00:49:58,414
You see that?
618
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:01,959
Yeah, a golf course
put folk through quite a punishment.
619
00:50:03,627 --> 00:50:06,005
It lives and breathes just like us.
620
00:50:07,214 --> 00:50:08,883
Do you think Junuh can win?
621
00:50:09,884 --> 00:50:12,887
Yeah, if he can find his authentic swing.
622
00:50:13,596 --> 00:50:15,347
Authentic?
623
00:50:17,683 --> 00:50:19,310
Go on, hit one more for me.
624
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:29,528
Yep, inside each and every one of us
is one true, authentic swing.
625
00:50:30,196 --> 00:50:34,116
Somethin' we was born with,
somethin' that's ours and ours alone.
626
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,077
Somethin' can't be taught to you
or learned.
627
00:50:37,161 --> 00:50:39,079
Somethin' that got to be remembered.
628
00:50:39,997 --> 00:50:43,167
Over time,
the world can rob us of that swing.
629
00:50:43,250 --> 00:50:45,252
It get buried inside us under...
630
00:50:47,338 --> 00:50:50,382
all our wouldas and couldas and shouldas.
631
00:50:51,217 --> 00:50:53,594
Some folk even forget
what they swing was like.
632
00:50:55,804 --> 00:50:58,182
Some folk even forget
what they swing was like.
633
00:51:00,809 --> 00:51:02,478
Keep swingin'.
634
00:51:02,561 --> 00:51:04,271
But I don't have any balls.
635
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:07,608
Don't worry about hittin' the ball
or where it's gonna go.
636
00:51:07,691 --> 00:51:09,818
Just swing the club, feel the club.
637
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,571
Now close your eyes.
638
00:51:14,281 --> 00:51:15,282
Close my--
639
00:51:15,366 --> 00:51:18,786
You can't make that ball go in that hole.
You got to let it.
640
00:51:19,578 --> 00:51:23,249
I want you to feel that club,
feel the weight of the club.
641
00:51:23,916 --> 00:51:27,503
Settling on the perfect line,
droppin' down soft as butter.
642
00:51:28,379 --> 00:51:30,339
Listen to the sounds of the night.
643
00:51:30,422 --> 00:51:34,051
You just keep swingin' that club till
you feel the breeze comin' off the sea.
644
00:51:34,134 --> 00:51:37,304
Inside every one of us is one true,
authentic swing.
645
00:51:39,348 --> 00:51:42,101
You just keep swingin' that club...
...true, authentic swing...
646
00:51:42,184 --> 00:51:44,979
...you're part of the whole thing...
...somethin' you was born with.
647
00:51:45,062 --> 00:51:48,274
Take a deep breath. That's a good thing.
Listen to the sounds of the night.
648
00:51:48,357 --> 00:51:49,775
I don't feel a thing.
649
00:51:50,609 --> 00:51:54,446
You just keep swingin' that club
until you're part of the whole thing.
650
00:51:55,906 --> 00:51:57,574
That's a good thing.
651
00:51:58,784 --> 00:51:59,952
Can you see it?
652
00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:15,009
All right, time to go.
653
00:52:15,634 --> 00:52:16,734
Why?
654
00:52:28,230 --> 00:52:32,067
They say that God
is happiest when His children are at play.
655
00:52:32,151 --> 00:52:35,612
Well, it certainly seemed like
God was in fine spirits
656
00:52:35,696 --> 00:52:37,614
when the day of the match dawned.
657
00:52:42,619 --> 00:52:44,621
People came from far and wide.
658
00:52:44,705 --> 00:52:49,668
There wasn't a room to be found in either
boardinghouse or the Krewe Island Hotel.
659
00:52:49,752 --> 00:52:53,088
The match had been designed
as the ultimate championship--
660
00:52:53,172 --> 00:52:55,049
36 holes on Saturday
661
00:52:55,132 --> 00:52:58,635
followed by another grueling
36 holes on Sunday.
662
00:53:05,851 --> 00:53:07,144
Good luck today.
663
00:53:21,533 --> 00:53:22,910
Where's Hagen?
664
00:53:23,410 --> 00:53:25,079
Oh, he'll be here.
665
00:53:48,852 --> 00:53:50,145
Hey, you--
666
00:53:55,442 --> 00:53:56,985
Hello, Mr. Junuh. How are you?
667
00:53:57,069 --> 00:53:58,070
- Bob, how are you?
- Walter.
668
00:53:58,153 --> 00:54:00,906
They do put on a splendid show,
don't they, O.B.?
669
00:54:01,615 --> 00:54:04,135
I hear that later today
they'll even be hittin' some golf balls.
670
00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:07,496
Ladies and gentlemen.
671
00:54:07,579 --> 00:54:13,085
By virtue of the draw,
Mr. Jones will hit first,
672
00:54:13,669 --> 00:54:18,298
Mr. Hagen second, and then Mr. Junuh.
673
00:54:40,612 --> 00:54:42,781
And then suddenly, in that moment,
674
00:54:42,865 --> 00:54:46,160
I felt as if I could hear
the earth breathin' beneath me.
675
00:55:39,213 --> 00:55:43,300
Junuh hit a promising opening drive,
and I was sure he was on his way.
676
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,971
Nice shot. Absolutely.
677
00:55:55,521 --> 00:55:59,775
It's hard to imagine three more different
approaches to the game of golf.
678
00:56:00,901 --> 00:56:04,988
Bobby Jones's swing
was a study of grace in motion.
679
00:56:05,072 --> 00:56:08,200
He had a way of making
the difficult shots look easy
680
00:56:09,034 --> 00:56:11,662
and the easy shots look even easier.
681
00:56:18,794 --> 00:56:22,631
Hagen, on the other hand,
hit more bad shots in a single game
682
00:56:22,714 --> 00:56:24,508
than most golfers do in a season.
683
00:56:26,843 --> 00:56:29,596
But Hagen had long ago learned one thing:
684
00:56:31,974 --> 00:56:35,936
Three lousy shots and one brilliant shot
can still make par.
685
00:56:40,399 --> 00:56:44,736
And Junuh? Well, even now
I can't think of it without wincin'.
686
00:56:51,743 --> 00:56:54,621
- Beach.
- Go, ball, go!
687
00:56:57,499 --> 00:56:58,709
Yep. Beach.
688
00:57:01,211 --> 00:57:03,964
We sure got lovely weather for it
this morning, though, don't we?
689
00:57:04,047 --> 00:57:05,757
Let me get that from you, sir.
690
00:57:19,855 --> 00:57:20,955
Any ideas?
691
00:57:22,316 --> 00:57:23,483
About what?
692
00:57:26,737 --> 00:57:28,363
Could you give me a club?
693
00:57:36,079 --> 00:57:37,706
Yeah. That's a good one there.
694
00:57:47,424 --> 00:57:49,468
What the hell's wrong with his grip?
695
00:58:04,775 --> 00:58:07,944
By the end of five holes,
Junuh was five strokes behind
696
00:58:08,028 --> 00:58:10,155
with 67 holes to go.
697
00:58:11,490 --> 00:58:13,533
And things would've been a lot worse
698
00:58:13,617 --> 00:58:16,036
if it weren't for
Junuh's shot on the sixth.
699
00:58:27,464 --> 00:58:31,009
It was a birdie,
one stroke under par for the hole,
700
00:58:31,093 --> 00:58:33,553
moving him to four behind Jones and Hagen
701
00:58:33,637 --> 00:58:36,973
and his only glimmer of hope
for the entire round.
702
00:58:37,057 --> 00:58:38,642
I think I found my game.
703
00:58:38,725 --> 00:58:40,227
Good news, Mr. Junuh.
704
00:58:40,310 --> 00:58:43,313
Now all we gots to do is
figure out what game that is.
705
00:58:45,357 --> 00:58:48,276
By the 18th tee,
at the close of the morning round,
706
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,862
Jones and Hagen were neck and neck.
707
00:58:59,538 --> 00:59:01,707
And as for Junuh--
708
00:59:01,790 --> 00:59:03,834
This is becoming embarrassing.
709
00:59:03,917 --> 00:59:07,796
Oh, no, sir. It's been embarrassing
for quite some time now.
710
00:59:30,152 --> 00:59:31,987
Make a suggestion to you?
711
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:34,880
What now?
712
00:59:35,449 --> 00:59:37,492
Why don't you just hook it out of bounds?
713
00:59:38,660 --> 00:59:41,747
Yeah. Just carve it out
over them pretty trees into the ocean.
714
00:59:41,830 --> 00:59:44,124
Really, just do what you been doin'.
715
00:59:44,207 --> 00:59:46,752
Then you'll be so far out the match,
716
00:59:46,835 --> 00:59:49,713
man, we can just relax,
enjoy ourselves the rest of the way.
717
00:59:50,756 --> 00:59:51,856
Yeah.
718
01:00:00,390 --> 01:00:02,225
What you waitin' for? Go on.
719
01:00:02,309 --> 01:00:05,145
Just hook it to hell and gone.
Put yourself out your misery.
720
01:00:48,897 --> 01:00:50,273
You want to quit, Mr. Junuh?
721
01:00:52,484 --> 01:00:54,694
You can just go ahead
and creep off somewhere.
722
01:00:54,778 --> 01:00:56,571
I'll tell folk you took sick.
723
01:00:56,655 --> 01:00:59,032
Truth be told,
ain't nobody gonna really object.
724
01:00:59,115 --> 01:01:01,284
They'd probably be happy
as bugs in a bake shop
725
01:01:01,368 --> 01:01:03,203
to see you pack up and go on home.
726
01:01:03,286 --> 01:01:04,704
You know I can't quit.
727
01:01:06,373 --> 01:01:07,499
I know.
728
01:01:08,291 --> 01:01:10,210
Just makin' sure you know it too.
729
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,528
Man alive! The fairway.
730
01:01:48,623 --> 01:01:51,293
Hello, Bagger. Hello. Mr. Bagger Vance.
731
01:01:51,877 --> 01:01:54,212
I want an explanation.
It better be a good one.
732
01:01:54,296 --> 01:01:56,631
What on God's green earth
are you tellin' him?
733
01:01:56,715 --> 01:01:59,301
I'd be most appreciative
if we could talk about this later.
734
01:01:59,384 --> 01:02:00,862
Right now I'm busy assisting Mr. Junuh.
735
01:02:00,886 --> 01:02:02,929
You have done
a hell of a job of it so far.
736
01:02:03,013 --> 01:02:05,265
Okay, okay.
Let me talk to him, Neskaloosa.
737
01:02:05,348 --> 01:02:07,976
Mr. Vance, I think what the judge
is trying to determine here
738
01:02:08,059 --> 01:02:11,605
is what exactly your strategy is
for helping poor Mr. Junuh find his game,
739
01:02:11,688 --> 01:02:13,648
because to the untrained observer
it appears
740
01:02:13,732 --> 01:02:17,110
you know as much about being a caddie
as I do about driving a locomotive.
741
01:02:17,193 --> 01:02:19,112
Oh, y'all want to know my strategy.
742
01:02:19,195 --> 01:02:22,324
Well, right now my player
is a little confused about who he is.
743
01:02:22,407 --> 01:02:24,701
See, he still thinks he's Rannulph Junuh.
744
01:02:25,327 --> 01:02:28,246
He is Rannulph Junuh, you damn twit!
745
01:02:28,330 --> 01:02:30,373
Well, he is and he ain't.
746
01:02:47,349 --> 01:02:48,449
Thank you.
747
01:03:19,005 --> 01:03:21,758
Anybody drinkin'?
Here. I'm gonna get a drink.
748
01:03:45,490 --> 01:03:46,616
It'll come.
749
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,346
I had me an uncle named Rufus.
750
01:04:09,389 --> 01:04:12,100
Lost his right arm in a cotton gin.
751
01:04:12,183 --> 01:04:14,936
Learned how to do everything
with his left arm.
752
01:04:15,020 --> 01:04:18,189
He was changing a wheel on a wagon.
753
01:04:18,273 --> 01:04:20,150
Axle snapped, chopped off his left arm.
754
01:04:20,233 --> 01:04:22,235
So he learned how to do everything
with his teeth.
755
01:04:22,318 --> 01:04:24,446
- It was a mistake.
- One night he says some things
756
01:04:24,529 --> 01:04:26,322
to Mr. Johnny he shouldn't had said.
757
01:04:26,406 --> 01:04:28,199
Mr. Johnny
knock all the teeth out his head.
758
01:04:28,283 --> 01:04:30,118
"Savannah's own." Savannah's own what?
759
01:04:30,201 --> 01:04:32,454
So he learned how to do everything
with his feet.
760
01:04:33,413 --> 01:04:36,624
Up till he got this fungus.
It grew all up--
761
01:04:36,708 --> 01:04:37,808
Stop it.
762
01:04:37,834 --> 01:04:40,062
I'm trying to tell you a story
about overcoming adversity.
763
01:04:40,086 --> 01:04:43,089
Listen, you want to talk to me
about my grip, fine.
764
01:04:43,173 --> 01:04:44,841
Talk about my swing, fine.
765
01:04:44,924 --> 01:04:46,509
You don't wanna hear about the fungus?
766
01:04:47,510 --> 01:04:50,597
He became a dancer. Oh, he made a fortune.
767
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,392
It was the most amazing thing
to see this armless, toothless man
768
01:04:54,476 --> 01:04:58,813
sliding back and forth across the stage
to the music of Bessie Smith and the Duke.
769
01:05:00,648 --> 01:05:03,568
I don't care if I'm 12 strokes back.
I just don't.
770
01:05:04,944 --> 01:05:06,488
You don't even want to win?
771
01:05:06,571 --> 01:05:08,073
It's just a game, Bagger.
772
01:05:09,657 --> 01:05:12,535
Yes, sir. You done said it yourself now.
Just a game.
773
01:05:12,619 --> 01:05:16,623
So maybe, just maybe,
there is something else that's rilin' you.
774
01:05:16,706 --> 01:05:20,126
Maybe you thought you was just
gonna sashay out onto that green
775
01:05:20,210 --> 01:05:24,756
and the old hero of Savannah
just reappear all by hisself.
776
01:05:24,839 --> 01:05:26,132
Don't work that way, is all.
777
01:05:27,342 --> 01:05:29,928
The Junuh you was,
you ain't never gonna be again.
778
01:05:31,221 --> 01:05:34,307
Ever. That's all I'm sayin'.
779
01:05:35,725 --> 01:05:39,354
- You don't know a damn thing about me.
- Well, I know one thing for sure.
780
01:05:39,437 --> 01:05:42,774
You gonna look pretty foolish
with two different shoes on your feet.
781
01:05:42,857 --> 01:05:44,109
Ah, Jesus.
782
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,279
You got an answer for everything,
don't you, Bagger?
783
01:05:48,363 --> 01:05:49,739
Let me tell you something.
784
01:05:49,823 --> 01:05:52,951
There's no difference
between winning and losing
785
01:05:53,034 --> 01:05:54,536
and anything in between.
786
01:05:55,537 --> 01:05:59,666
What's lost is lost.
A man lives. A man dies.
787
01:05:59,749 --> 01:06:01,793
And in the end it all turns out the same.
788
01:06:01,876 --> 01:06:04,587
You're alone.
And that's all you're ever gonna be.
789
01:06:05,338 --> 01:06:07,048
Is that a fact? Alone.
790
01:06:08,675 --> 01:06:12,137
So, a soul is born
with everything that the Lord can give it,
791
01:06:12,220 --> 01:06:14,764
and things don't go its way,
so it just gives up,
792
01:06:14,848 --> 01:06:16,808
and the good Lord takes everything back?
793
01:06:16,891 --> 01:06:21,479
- That's right.
- And then the soul dies. Alone.
794
01:06:21,563 --> 01:06:23,606
Was that pretty much what you sayin'?
795
01:06:24,149 --> 01:06:25,316
That's right.
796
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,068
That's a sad story, Mr. Junuh.
797
01:06:28,611 --> 01:06:29,863
Yes, it is.
798
01:06:29,946 --> 01:06:35,827
And that's just about the dumbest thing
I heard any fool say ever.
799
01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:40,915
You got yourself a hard eye there,
Mr. Junuh.
800
01:06:40,999 --> 01:06:44,836
Soul is born with everything, dies,
and the good Lord--
801
01:06:44,919 --> 01:06:47,088
You a funny man, Mr. Junuh.
802
01:06:48,423 --> 01:06:52,302
Now, what I hear,
Bobby's just waitin' to make his big move.
803
01:06:52,385 --> 01:06:54,137
He doesn't wanna peak too early.
804
01:06:54,220 --> 01:06:56,264
You think Walter doesn't know that?
805
01:06:56,347 --> 01:06:58,892
He's keeping pace with Bobby
step for step.
806
01:06:58,975 --> 01:07:01,311
And when Bobby kicks his game
into high gear,
807
01:07:01,394 --> 01:07:03,104
he's in for a big surprise.
808
01:07:04,105 --> 01:07:05,356
What about Junuh?
809
01:07:07,025 --> 01:07:08,985
What about him, son?
810
01:07:09,068 --> 01:07:12,780
Well, there's still three rounds to go.
And that's 54 holes.
811
01:07:12,864 --> 01:07:16,826
All he's got to do is pick up one stroke
every four holes, and he wins.
812
01:07:17,869 --> 01:07:18,969
It's possible.
813
01:07:18,995 --> 01:07:21,915
Well, it's possible, Son,
but it's not very likely.
814
01:07:21,998 --> 01:07:25,210
I've been told that Junuh has shown
no signs of gettin' his game together.
815
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,213
He's playin' Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen.
816
01:07:28,963 --> 01:07:31,758
What do you know?
You can't even get yourself a decent job.
817
01:07:31,841 --> 01:07:35,261
Hardy! Hardy Greaves, you come back here!
818
01:07:35,345 --> 01:07:36,804
Let him go, Ida.
819
01:07:39,933 --> 01:07:41,768
Been a hard time for the boy.
820
01:07:52,987 --> 01:07:55,198
There something you wanted to tell me?
821
01:07:59,202 --> 01:08:02,205
Well, I'm tryin' to think
of how to say it, Junuh.
822
01:08:04,832 --> 01:08:09,504
There is a purpose to this visit,
and that's to apologize.
823
01:08:11,089 --> 01:08:12,840
But I'm not a naturally apologetic woman,
824
01:08:12,924 --> 01:08:15,468
so it takes me longer
to get my thoughts in order.
825
01:08:16,719 --> 01:08:21,557
I want to seem properly contrite for
having gotten you into this golf match,
826
01:08:21,641 --> 01:08:25,478
but not seem that what I did
was ill-intentioned, because it was not.
827
01:08:25,561 --> 01:08:28,189
What exactly are you apologizin' for?
828
01:08:31,693 --> 01:08:33,278
For publicly humiliating you.
829
01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:38,574
Well, that'd be a good thing
to apologize for.
830
01:08:39,325 --> 01:08:40,535
However...
831
01:08:41,536 --> 01:08:42,829
I think that--
832
01:08:43,538 --> 01:08:45,790
Basically, what I'm trying to say is...
833
01:08:47,750 --> 01:08:48,876
is that I'm sorry.
834
01:08:49,961 --> 01:08:51,462
But it's not my fault.
835
01:08:53,131 --> 01:08:54,674
You're the one to blame.
836
01:08:58,094 --> 01:09:00,346
That's one hell of an apology, Adele.
837
01:09:01,014 --> 01:09:03,558
I'd stop the tournament in a flash
if I could.
838
01:09:03,641 --> 01:09:07,979
I truly, truly would,
because I know it's just gonna get worse.
839
01:09:08,062 --> 01:09:09,522
And the way you're playin',
840
01:09:09,605 --> 01:09:13,526
you're simply destroyin' any chance
Jones and Hagen have of playin' well.
841
01:09:13,609 --> 01:09:18,031
And your supporters, who are every man,
woman and child in Savannah,
842
01:09:18,114 --> 01:09:22,118
are so demoralized that
they can barely hold down their lunches.
843
01:09:27,373 --> 01:09:30,293
So, you want my apology or not?
844
01:09:31,002 --> 01:09:32,102
No.
845
01:09:35,256 --> 01:09:36,356
Well.
846
01:09:39,093 --> 01:09:41,012
That's the Junuh I know.
847
01:09:41,095 --> 01:09:42,930
Just full of little surprises.
848
01:09:43,514 --> 01:09:44,891
What was it, Adele?
849
01:09:46,309 --> 01:09:48,019
What did you like about us?
850
01:09:53,024 --> 01:09:54,776
I liked the way we danced.
851
01:10:02,075 --> 01:10:03,284
What's your problem?
852
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:11,334
And they was just lookin' at me
like I was stupid or crazy or something
853
01:10:11,417 --> 01:10:15,630
to think that you could beat Bobby Jones
or Walter Hagen bein' 12 strokes behind.
854
01:10:15,713 --> 01:10:18,049
Even though I told them all you had to do
855
01:10:18,132 --> 01:10:22,428
was pick up one stroke every four holes
over the next 54 holes, right?
856
01:10:23,262 --> 01:10:24,263
Yeah, right.
857
01:10:24,347 --> 01:10:27,201
And who do you think was tellin' me
what a hopeless case you was the most?
858
01:10:27,225 --> 01:10:31,145
My very own father, who says
that he was a good friend of yours
859
01:10:31,229 --> 01:10:33,022
until you lost your mind in the war.
860
01:10:33,106 --> 01:10:34,524
He's right.
861
01:10:34,607 --> 01:10:35,983
You can't win?
862
01:10:38,069 --> 01:10:39,904
He was a good friend of mine.
863
01:10:46,953 --> 01:10:49,205
He's sweepin' streets, Captain Junuh,
864
01:10:49,288 --> 01:10:53,042
in the middle of Savannah
where everybody can see him.
865
01:10:53,126 --> 01:10:56,254
Me, my friends and everybody.
866
01:10:56,337 --> 01:10:59,882
You feelin' sorry for yourself
because your daddy's got to sweep streets?
867
01:10:59,966 --> 01:11:02,218
He ain't the only man who can't get work.
868
01:11:02,301 --> 01:11:04,720
Wilbur Charles's dad
can't get work neither,
869
01:11:04,804 --> 01:11:09,350
but he says he'd rather do nothin' at all
than something beneath his dignity.
870
01:11:10,977 --> 01:11:12,603
Oh, grow up, Hardy.
871
01:11:13,563 --> 01:11:15,898
It ain't time for me to grow up,
Mr. Junuh.
872
01:11:16,524 --> 01:11:19,944
Your daddy's out sweepin' streets
because he took every last dime he had
873
01:11:20,027 --> 01:11:22,363
and used it to pay up
every man and woman he owed
874
01:11:22,447 --> 01:11:23,967
and every business who worked for him,
875
01:11:24,031 --> 01:11:26,534
instead of declaring bankruptcy
like everyone else in town,
876
01:11:26,617 --> 01:11:29,745
including your best friend
Wilbur Charles's dad, Raymond,
877
01:11:29,829 --> 01:11:32,582
which is why he's able to sit around
all day long on his dignity.
878
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:38,421
Your daddy stared adversity in the eye,
Hardy, and he beat it back with a broom.
879
01:11:55,271 --> 01:11:57,231
You really love this game, don't you?
880
01:11:59,734 --> 01:12:01,694
The greatest game there is.
881
01:12:03,070 --> 01:12:04,572
You really think so?
882
01:12:05,156 --> 01:12:08,576
Ask anybody. It's fun. It's hard.
883
01:12:08,659 --> 01:12:11,204
You stand out there on that green,
green grass,
884
01:12:11,287 --> 01:12:12,872
and it's just you and the ball,
885
01:12:12,955 --> 01:12:15,541
and there ain't nobody
to beat up on but yourself.
886
01:12:16,167 --> 01:12:21,339
Just like Mr. Noonan keeps hittin' himself
with a golf club every time he gets angry.
887
01:12:21,422 --> 01:12:24,717
He's broken his toe three times
on account of it.
888
01:12:25,593 --> 01:12:28,721
This is the only game I know
you can call a penalty on yourself--
889
01:12:28,804 --> 01:12:31,682
if you're honest, which most people are.
890
01:12:31,766 --> 01:12:33,976
There just ain't no other game like it.
891
01:12:40,149 --> 01:12:41,484
I better get goin'.
892
01:12:54,205 --> 01:12:56,565
In case you didn't see that,
remind me when we're out there.
893
01:12:56,624 --> 01:13:00,044
I'll show you where it's at
when your second shot catches up to it.
894
01:13:11,138 --> 01:13:15,268
Oh, yes. Greatest game there is.
Right, Hardy?
895
01:13:15,351 --> 01:13:16,561
Yes, sir.
896
01:13:16,644 --> 01:13:18,563
The greatest game there will ever be.
897
01:13:18,646 --> 01:13:19,981
Just you and the ball.
898
01:13:20,064 --> 01:13:21,482
All by your lonesome.
899
01:13:24,277 --> 01:13:25,903
I think it's time.
900
01:13:25,987 --> 01:13:27,154
Time for what?
901
01:13:27,238 --> 01:13:29,198
Time for you to see the field.
902
01:13:29,824 --> 01:13:32,577
The field? I see the field.
903
01:13:32,660 --> 01:13:36,455
It's 445 yards long.
It's got a red flag at the end of it.
904
01:13:36,539 --> 01:13:40,001
- It's 12 strokes ahead of me. Come on.
- That ain't it.
905
01:13:41,586 --> 01:13:44,463
'Cause if you was seein' the field,
you wouldn't be hackin' at that ball
906
01:13:44,547 --> 01:13:47,300
like you was choppin' weeds
out from under your front porch.
907
01:13:47,383 --> 01:13:48,843
Just give me the club.
908
01:13:51,095 --> 01:13:53,848
Sorry I brung it up.
Here, you gonna take that. Hack away.
909
01:14:10,615 --> 01:14:12,366
All right. What's the field?
910
01:14:14,827 --> 01:14:16,537
Fix your eyes on Bobby Jones.
911
01:14:19,665 --> 01:14:21,375
He's a piece of work right now.
912
01:14:21,459 --> 01:14:24,462
Give the man room.
Knock it out there, Bobby.
913
01:14:45,358 --> 01:14:46,942
Look at his practice swing.
914
01:14:48,736 --> 01:14:51,072
Almost like he was
searchin' for somethin'.
915
01:14:53,115 --> 01:14:54,325
Then he finds it.
916
01:14:56,077 --> 01:14:59,080
Watch how he settle hisself
right into the middle of it.
917
01:15:01,916 --> 01:15:03,125
Feel that focus.
918
01:15:06,921 --> 01:15:08,923
He got a lot of shots
he could choose from.
919
01:15:10,216 --> 01:15:12,968
Duffs and tops and skulls.
920
01:15:15,554 --> 01:15:19,308
But there's only one shot
that's in perfect harmony with the field.
921
01:15:20,685 --> 01:15:24,480
One shot that's his authentic shot.
922
01:15:27,483 --> 01:15:29,652
And that shot is gonna choose him.
923
01:15:32,238 --> 01:15:35,574
There's a perfect shot out there
tryin' to find each and every one of us.
924
01:15:35,658 --> 01:15:39,161
All we got to do
is get ourselves out of its way.
925
01:15:39,787 --> 01:15:41,622
Let it choose us.
926
01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:46,711
Look at him. He and the field.
927
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:00,975
You can't see that flag
as some dragon you got to slay.
928
01:16:02,184 --> 01:16:04,103
Got to look with soft eyes.
929
01:16:05,187 --> 01:16:10,693
See the place where the tides and seasons
and the turnin' of the earth
930
01:16:10,776 --> 01:16:12,361
all come together.
931
01:16:13,988 --> 01:16:15,906
Where everything that is...
932
01:16:16,824 --> 01:16:18,409
becomes one.
933
01:16:20,411 --> 01:16:24,331
You got to seek that place
with your soul, Junuh.
934
01:16:37,428 --> 01:16:41,015
Seek it with your hands.
Don't think about it. Feel it.
935
01:16:42,558 --> 01:16:45,186
Your hands is wiser
than your head ever gonna be.
936
01:16:47,730 --> 01:16:49,148
I can't take you there, Junuh.
937
01:16:50,816 --> 01:16:53,652
Just hopes I can help you find a way.
938
01:17:02,620 --> 01:17:05,748
Just you, that ball...
939
01:17:07,249 --> 01:17:08,834
that flag...
940
01:17:11,337 --> 01:17:13,422
and all you are, seek it with your hands.
941
01:17:13,506 --> 01:17:15,841
Don't think about it. Feel it.
You're lookin' at it, Junuh.
942
01:17:15,925 --> 01:17:17,134
Feel it.
943
01:17:17,218 --> 01:17:21,180
It's just you, that ball...
...in perfect harmony...
944
01:17:21,263 --> 01:17:24,141
It's the home of your authentic swing.
That flag...
945
01:17:25,142 --> 01:17:26,727
and all that you are.
946
01:18:25,744 --> 01:18:28,747
Even the blind squirrel
finds an acorn now and then, Bobby.
947
01:18:40,509 --> 01:18:42,803
The rest of that afternoon is a blur.
948
01:18:42,887 --> 01:18:46,599
Junuh kept asking
question after question about the field,
949
01:18:46,682 --> 01:18:49,435
while Bagger just acted like
nothin' much had happened
950
01:18:49,518 --> 01:18:53,397
and kept makin' remarks about
how much Hagen's socks must have cost
951
01:18:53,480 --> 01:18:57,276
and how long to dry tobacco leaves
before they make a good smoke.
952
01:19:01,572 --> 01:19:05,993
But somehow in the middle of it all,
Junuh started playin' golf.
953
01:19:22,092 --> 01:19:25,137
As the day and the second round
came to an end,
954
01:19:25,220 --> 01:19:26,889
there was genuine excitement.
955
01:19:26,972 --> 01:19:29,516
I do so enjoy this little game.
956
01:19:33,354 --> 01:19:36,273
Why don't you ladies freshen up.
I'd love you to join me for dinner.
957
01:19:40,444 --> 01:19:42,237
- Hello, Hugh.
- Walter.
958
01:19:42,321 --> 01:19:43,421
Junuh.
959
01:19:44,823 --> 01:19:46,992
- I'll have a double scotch.
- All right, sir.
960
01:19:47,076 --> 01:19:49,828
Pretty entertaining out there today, huh?
961
01:19:49,912 --> 01:19:52,915
That's what the people want.
Entertainment.
962
01:19:57,711 --> 01:19:59,129
I got a proposition, Junuh.
963
01:20:00,339 --> 01:20:03,425
Exhibitions are the thing now.
Five, ten grand for two days' work.
964
01:20:04,093 --> 01:20:06,762
How'd you like to go on tour with me?
We'd have good matches.
965
01:20:06,845 --> 01:20:08,681
I'd expect to win, of course.
966
01:20:08,764 --> 01:20:11,517
But then we'd split the money
70-30 afterwards.
967
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:12,935
You'd get the 30.
968
01:20:14,561 --> 01:20:17,606
Don't get me wrong. I'm not just lookin'
for another payday here.
969
01:20:17,690 --> 01:20:20,150
I couldn't breathe
if it weren't for this game of golf.
970
01:20:21,026 --> 01:20:24,363
I once had the next king of England
hold the pin for me while I putted.
971
01:20:24,446 --> 01:20:25,614
Did you know that?
972
01:20:27,616 --> 01:20:28,716
I did.
973
01:20:29,326 --> 01:20:32,830
Yes, I've paid back everything
that golf gave me several times over.
974
01:20:32,913 --> 01:20:34,623
And now I'm on the receiving end.
975
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,253
It's the good life, Junuh.
976
01:20:40,462 --> 01:20:42,840
- Why me?
- The crowd likes you.
977
01:20:43,632 --> 01:20:45,884
I think we have a lot in common,
you and I.
978
01:20:47,344 --> 01:20:49,464
We've got no illusions
that there's anything out there
979
01:20:49,513 --> 01:20:51,432
really worth gettin' riled up about.
980
01:20:52,766 --> 01:20:55,269
The meaning of it all
is that there is no meaning.
981
01:20:56,812 --> 01:20:59,189
You'd be good company.
That's all I'm sayin'.
982
01:21:01,316 --> 01:21:03,277
Thanks, Walter. I'll think it over.
983
01:21:04,945 --> 01:21:07,406
I admire the way you're dealing
with this match, Junuh.
984
01:21:07,489 --> 01:21:10,034
Fighting the way you are. It's damn noble.
985
01:21:10,993 --> 01:21:13,412
But no matter how good a fighter you are,
986
01:21:13,495 --> 01:21:17,416
just remember, I can ask the king
to hold the flag for me when I putt,
987
01:21:17,499 --> 01:21:19,293
but he's not gonna give me his crown.
988
01:21:19,376 --> 01:21:21,253
Neither is Bobby, and neither am I.
989
01:21:22,129 --> 01:21:24,381
I'm not asking for your crown, Walter.
990
01:21:25,215 --> 01:21:27,217
If I wanted it bad enough,
I'd just take it.
991
01:22:20,145 --> 01:22:23,982
Was there something you wished to discuss?
Because this might not be the right time--
992
01:22:36,328 --> 01:22:37,955
I can win, Adele.
993
01:22:39,206 --> 01:22:40,999
I can beat both of 'em.
994
01:22:42,793 --> 01:22:45,212
Look into my eyes
and tell me what you see.
995
01:22:46,338 --> 01:22:49,049
Determination. Pure determination.
996
01:22:49,842 --> 01:22:52,261
Panic, Adele. Pure panic.
997
01:22:53,512 --> 01:22:56,723
I'm eight strokes behind the two greatest
golfers in the history of the sport.
998
01:22:56,807 --> 01:23:00,227
They've never blown a lead in their lives,
and I'm gonna win. You know why?
999
01:23:00,310 --> 01:23:01,728
- Panic?
- That's right.
1000
01:23:03,647 --> 01:23:05,607
Oh, Junuh.
1001
01:23:05,691 --> 01:23:07,693
- You don't by any chance--
- Yes.
1002
01:23:11,155 --> 01:23:13,574
I ought to go back to my guests.
1003
01:23:15,409 --> 01:23:17,411
Yes. I should go back to my guests.
1004
01:23:18,036 --> 01:23:19,746
You will stay in touch?
1005
01:23:19,830 --> 01:23:22,833
I don't think I can wait another 12 years
for the next installment.
1006
01:23:25,460 --> 01:23:28,005
Was there something about me
that you particularly missed?
1007
01:23:28,088 --> 01:23:32,593
Something that I can feel gratified about
depriving you of all these years?
1008
01:23:32,676 --> 01:23:34,219
I like the way we danced.
1009
01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:49,401
Make sure you got some oranges in there.
Got another sweater?
1010
01:23:49,484 --> 01:23:51,570
- Got enough water?
- Driver. I need the driver.
1011
01:23:51,653 --> 01:23:53,322
This is gonna take everything I got.
1012
01:23:53,405 --> 01:23:56,491
Oh, that's for sure. That's a jigger.
Help you keep it under the wind.
1013
01:23:56,575 --> 01:23:59,244
Bagger,
my putter's got more loft than this thing.
1014
01:23:59,328 --> 01:24:01,079
Actually, they just about the same.
1015
01:24:01,163 --> 01:24:04,875
Oh. Well, that's good. I'll just
putt the ball down the fairway, then.
1016
01:24:04,958 --> 01:24:06,058
Anything else?
1017
01:24:07,127 --> 01:24:09,630
Just bash the livin' shit out of it.
1018
01:24:15,260 --> 01:24:16,595
An iron.
1019
01:24:16,678 --> 01:24:19,139
I don't suppose it matters much
what club you use
1020
01:24:19,223 --> 01:24:21,058
when you start the day eight strokes back.
1021
01:24:46,708 --> 01:24:48,377
- What club was that?
- Midiron.
1022
01:24:48,460 --> 01:24:49,711
Some kind of driving iron.
1023
01:24:49,795 --> 01:24:51,922
Extraordinarily well hit, I'd say.
1024
01:25:09,564 --> 01:25:12,567
- The flag! Pull the flag, Hardy.
- Yes, sir.
1025
01:25:14,528 --> 01:25:18,073
Junuh eagled, picking up two strokes
on the very first hole.
1026
01:25:18,156 --> 01:25:19,408
That's it.
1027
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,456
And he picked up another stroke
when Jones bogeyed the second.
1028
01:25:31,461 --> 01:25:35,590
And two more strokes on Hagen
when he double-bogeyed the third.
1029
01:25:35,674 --> 01:25:38,260
Does it look like 180 yards to you?
1030
01:25:38,343 --> 01:25:39,469
No.
1031
01:25:40,387 --> 01:25:42,055
It's 181.
1032
01:25:44,725 --> 01:25:47,519
You might wanna play that ball back
just a bit in your stance.
1033
01:26:32,939 --> 01:26:35,442
He just hit a hole in one! Hot dang!
1034
01:26:35,525 --> 01:26:39,946
I just seen a miracle with my own eyes!
He just hit a hole in one!
1035
01:26:53,001 --> 01:26:56,505
Homer, you're not gonna believe this!
Junuh made a hole in one!
1036
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,968
Junuh made a hole in one!
He's gonna make it!
1037
01:27:02,052 --> 01:27:03,887
- He's gonna make it!
- You're kiddin'!
1038
01:27:03,970 --> 01:27:05,070
What?
1039
01:27:10,894 --> 01:27:12,813
- What's up?
- Junuh's makin' a run for it.
1040
01:27:12,896 --> 01:27:15,732
He's pulled within three of Jones
and two of Hagen.
1041
01:27:15,816 --> 01:27:17,484
He made a hole in one on eight!
1042
01:27:17,567 --> 01:27:19,778
God bless Savannah
and the men she propagates.
1043
01:27:29,663 --> 01:27:31,289
Come on! Let's go!
1044
01:27:41,967 --> 01:27:43,343
Get back. Get back now.
1045
01:27:43,427 --> 01:27:47,597
How do you expect Junuh to hit the ball
if you're right on top of him?
1046
01:27:53,311 --> 01:27:56,773
His play in the third round
was beautiful to watch.
1047
01:28:21,715 --> 01:28:25,343
While Jones and Hagen discovered
new hazards of their own...
1048
01:28:29,347 --> 01:28:33,018
Junuh had discovered,
as Bagger so eloquently put it,
1049
01:28:33,101 --> 01:28:35,729
how to stop thinkin'
without fallin' asleep.
1050
01:28:40,901 --> 01:28:44,863
Junuh finished the third round
one stroke behind.
1051
01:28:44,946 --> 01:28:46,323
It was a new match,
1052
01:28:46,406 --> 01:28:49,409
and no one knew it better
than Jones and Hagen.
1053
01:28:50,076 --> 01:28:52,579
Not now, girls. Not now.
1054
01:29:03,381 --> 01:29:04,481
Gents.
1055
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,890
I don't believe
Walter planned on exerting himself.
1056
01:29:14,809 --> 01:29:16,895
It was fun this morning, wasn't it?
1057
01:29:18,438 --> 01:29:19,731
Yeah, it was.
1058
01:29:22,526 --> 01:29:24,778
This is my last match, Junuh.
I'm retiring.
1059
01:29:30,158 --> 01:29:31,868
You're at the top of your game.
1060
01:29:32,911 --> 01:29:36,957
I've got a wife and three small children
and a law practice.
1061
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,750
It's time to stop.
1062
01:29:46,091 --> 01:29:47,676
It's just a game, Junuh.
1063
01:29:50,428 --> 01:29:54,015
You know, I'll never forget
you winnin' the Georgia Open in 1916.
1064
01:29:55,767 --> 01:29:57,686
I'd never seen a swing so sweet
1065
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:00,397
or a man get so much pleasure from it.
1066
01:30:04,651 --> 01:30:06,736
This is my last 18 holes, Junuh.
1067
01:30:08,738 --> 01:30:11,741
And I been thinkin', I couldn't
have picked a better way to end it.
1068
01:30:11,825 --> 01:30:13,285
Thank you, Bobby.
1069
01:30:13,368 --> 01:30:15,120
It is truly my pleasure.
1070
01:30:18,540 --> 01:30:20,834
I can't let you win out of sympathy.
1071
01:30:21,918 --> 01:30:23,169
You know that.
1072
01:30:24,004 --> 01:30:25,255
I do.
1073
01:30:26,298 --> 01:30:29,050
And I have no intentions
of losing my last match.
1074
01:30:49,279 --> 01:30:52,574
Junuh! Junuh, look over here!
1075
01:31:01,875 --> 01:31:04,502
Gentlemen, excuse me.
Let's give Mr. Junuh some room.
1076
01:31:04,586 --> 01:31:07,839
Thank you.
I'd like to have a word with you, Junuh.
1077
01:31:07,922 --> 01:31:10,091
I don't think this is a good time, Adele.
1078
01:31:10,175 --> 01:31:12,677
No, I think this is a very good time.
1079
01:31:12,761 --> 01:31:16,931
I don't wanna do anything that might
disrupt your concentration or anything,
1080
01:31:17,015 --> 01:31:19,517
but since our encounter last night,
I've been thinking.
1081
01:31:23,563 --> 01:31:26,483
Ten years and not one single,
solitary word from you?
1082
01:31:26,566 --> 01:31:28,943
You don't do that to someone you love.
1083
01:31:29,027 --> 01:31:30,028
I deserved better.
1084
01:31:30,111 --> 01:31:33,907
I deserved some correspondence
and some indication of what you felt.
1085
01:31:33,990 --> 01:31:36,660
Oh, Junuh,
I don't know what happened to you.
1086
01:31:36,743 --> 01:31:38,953
But whatever it was,
1087
01:31:39,037 --> 01:31:44,501
it could not have been as unbearable
as a woman waitin' with no end in sight,
1088
01:31:44,584 --> 01:31:48,922
wonderin' if she's remembered
or forgotten by the man she loves.
1089
01:31:50,548 --> 01:31:52,550
You never even said you were sorry.
1090
01:31:53,802 --> 01:31:55,887
And now I'm supposed to just
run into your arms
1091
01:31:55,970 --> 01:31:57,889
and melt like butter on a hot muffin?
1092
01:31:58,515 --> 01:32:02,018
I'm sorry, Adele. I am truly sorry.
1093
01:32:02,102 --> 01:32:04,396
It's too late for "I'm sorry," Junuh!
1094
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:06,773
Then tell me what to say.
1095
01:32:07,857 --> 01:32:09,859
It was too long ago.
1096
01:32:11,611 --> 01:32:13,029
No, it wasn't.
1097
01:32:14,989 --> 01:32:16,950
It was just a moment ago.
1098
01:32:20,203 --> 01:32:22,747
Did something happen
since we talked last night?
1099
01:32:26,084 --> 01:32:27,184
No.
1100
01:32:29,713 --> 01:32:31,339
Not that I can think of.
1101
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:39,013
Well, this is barely the place
to talk about it.
1102
01:32:39,681 --> 01:32:41,683
You gotta go back to your game.
1103
01:33:07,459 --> 01:33:11,254
This town is gonna give you
the biggest damn parade you ever seen!
1104
01:33:11,337 --> 01:33:12,922
The biggest and the best!
1105
01:33:19,012 --> 01:33:21,139
Junuh was playin' a fierce fourth round.
1106
01:33:22,390 --> 01:33:25,602
And a wild thought began
to percolate through the crowd.
1107
01:33:26,311 --> 01:33:27,896
Junuh could win.
1108
01:33:31,983 --> 01:33:34,235
- I think the driver, Bagger.
- Give us a smile.
1109
01:33:34,319 --> 01:33:35,820
Can you believe he smiled!
1110
01:33:37,030 --> 01:33:38,865
You got water there on the left side.
1111
01:33:38,948 --> 01:33:42,160
Why don't you put your spoon with Jones
and Hagen, play this thing smart?
1112
01:33:42,243 --> 01:33:45,747
I'm gonna hug the left, get there in two
and close the door on these guys.
1113
01:33:47,081 --> 01:33:49,584
Get a hold of yourself now.
We got four more holes to go.
1114
01:33:49,667 --> 01:33:51,544
You settle down a little bit.
1115
01:33:51,628 --> 01:33:54,923
I've never been more settled.
An eagle, and this thing is over.
1116
01:34:14,901 --> 01:34:16,569
That's 300 or more yards if it's an inch.
1117
01:34:23,451 --> 01:34:26,538
Looks like the longest drive of the day,
Mr. Junuh.
1118
01:34:26,621 --> 01:34:28,122
I'm gettin' there in two.
1119
01:34:32,210 --> 01:34:35,129
Two twenty-five into the wind,
out the bunker.
1120
01:34:35,713 --> 01:34:37,090
Jeez!
1121
01:34:37,173 --> 01:34:40,134
The lip's too high. So much for an eagle.
1122
01:34:41,010 --> 01:34:43,930
Says who?
Where's that drivin' iron, Bagger?
1123
01:34:44,806 --> 01:34:49,769
Well, there's a time to hit that shot,
and there's a time to leave it in the bag.
1124
01:34:50,562 --> 01:34:52,856
Which one of them times you feel this is?
1125
01:35:07,328 --> 01:35:09,122
Tell him. Tell him, Bagger.
1126
01:35:09,205 --> 01:35:12,125
Tell him it's a mashie,
so he can have one easy shot to the--
1127
01:35:12,208 --> 01:35:13,418
That's amazing.
1128
01:35:14,002 --> 01:35:17,088
Man's gonna go for the green
with that cleeky lookin' thing?
1129
01:35:17,881 --> 01:35:20,174
He's got the guts of a Greek god.
1130
01:35:20,258 --> 01:35:24,721
I don't care if he's Apollo, son of Zeus.
That ball won't clear the water.
1131
01:35:25,930 --> 01:35:28,182
I hope you're all payin' customers.
1132
01:35:59,088 --> 01:36:02,300
- Get to it, Junuh!
- You can still get a par, Junuh.
1133
01:36:07,639 --> 01:36:09,974
- Junuh! Don't--
- Hush yourself, Hardy.
1134
01:36:11,851 --> 01:36:13,811
If at first you don't succeed...
1135
01:36:39,879 --> 01:36:41,631
Which would make your spot...
1136
01:36:43,257 --> 01:36:44,634
right here, Junuh.
1137
01:36:48,471 --> 01:36:50,181
Give it to him. Go on.
1138
01:37:19,335 --> 01:37:21,212
When Junuh dropped that ball,
1139
01:37:21,295 --> 01:37:24,632
it was as if every heart
in Savannah dropped with it...
1140
01:37:26,426 --> 01:37:28,720
none landing harder than his own.
1141
01:39:24,252 --> 01:39:26,879
You gonna be wantin'
a different club there, Junuh?
1142
01:39:33,845 --> 01:39:35,763
I can't do this.
1143
01:39:35,847 --> 01:39:38,766
Well, why don't you just
loose your grip up a smidge?
1144
01:39:38,850 --> 01:39:42,645
- A man's grip on his club is like--
- That's not what I'm talkin' about.
1145
01:39:42,728 --> 01:39:45,064
- I know.
- No, you don't.
1146
01:39:46,649 --> 01:39:48,651
What I'm talkin' about is a game.
1147
01:39:49,402 --> 01:39:52,655
Game that can't be won. Only played.
1148
01:39:52,738 --> 01:39:54,198
You don't understand.
1149
01:39:55,241 --> 01:39:56,868
I don't need to understand.
1150
01:39:57,577 --> 01:39:59,370
Ain't a soul on this entire earth
1151
01:39:59,453 --> 01:40:01,497
ain't got a burden to carry
he don't understand.
1152
01:40:01,581 --> 01:40:03,291
You ain't alone in that.
1153
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,419
But you been carryin' this one
long enough.
1154
01:40:07,128 --> 01:40:09,505
Time to go on. Lay it down.
1155
01:40:13,467 --> 01:40:14,886
I don't know how.
1156
01:40:17,388 --> 01:40:18,556
You got a choice.
1157
01:40:20,057 --> 01:40:23,102
- You can stop, or you can start.
- Start?
1158
01:40:25,229 --> 01:40:27,106
- Walkin'.
- Where?
1159
01:40:27,190 --> 01:40:30,526
Right back to where you always been.
And then stand there.
1160
01:40:32,653 --> 01:40:37,325
Still. Real still. And remember.
1161
01:40:38,242 --> 01:40:41,829
- It was too long ago.
- Oh, no, sir. It was just a moment ago.
1162
01:40:47,251 --> 01:40:50,087
Time for you
to come on out the shadows, Junuh.
1163
01:40:52,298 --> 01:40:54,133
Time for you to choose.
1164
01:41:00,097 --> 01:41:03,476
- I can't.
- Yes, you can. But you ain't alone.
1165
01:41:05,561 --> 01:41:07,188
I'm right here with you.
1166
01:41:08,731 --> 01:41:10,107
I been here all along.
1167
01:41:18,115 --> 01:41:19,617
Now, play the game.
1168
01:41:20,785 --> 01:41:24,038
Your game.
The one that only you was meant to play.
1169
01:41:24,121 --> 01:41:26,832
The one that was given to you
when you come into this world.
1170
01:41:37,176 --> 01:41:38,344
You ready?
1171
01:41:41,264 --> 01:41:42,890
Come on. Take your stance.
1172
01:41:49,063 --> 01:41:52,608
Strike that ball, Junuh. Don't hold
nothin' back. Give it everything.
1173
01:41:53,859 --> 01:41:55,528
Now's the time.
1174
01:41:55,611 --> 01:41:59,448
Let yourself remember.
Remember your swing.
1175
01:42:02,243 --> 01:42:05,079
That's right, Junuh.
Settle yourself. Let's go.
1176
01:42:06,539 --> 01:42:08,624
Now is the time, Junuh.
1177
01:42:51,792 --> 01:42:53,169
Let's go, Hardy.
1178
01:42:59,425 --> 01:43:00,926
- Hey, Bagger?
- Yeah?
1179
01:43:01,510 --> 01:43:03,387
You are one hell of a caddie.
1180
01:43:03,471 --> 01:43:06,307
Well, I do the best
with what I got to work with.
1181
01:43:07,183 --> 01:43:08,601
We ain't done yet.
1182
01:43:25,284 --> 01:43:28,412
By the 17th, Junuh got his swing back.
1183
01:43:32,625 --> 01:43:36,128
You have the right to call the game
on account of darkness.
1184
01:43:36,962 --> 01:43:39,799
That crowd will string us up by our thumbs
if we don't finish.
1185
01:43:45,262 --> 01:43:49,767
All right! Play will continue!
1186
01:44:14,250 --> 01:44:17,002
This is when a man needs pals
in the mermaids' union.
1187
01:45:11,390 --> 01:45:13,809
Cars! Get your cars, boys!
1188
01:45:13,893 --> 01:45:18,397
I want every car on this property
lined up with lights blazin'!
1189
01:45:18,481 --> 01:45:20,983
I don't care if you're kitchen help
or Savannah police!
1190
01:45:21,066 --> 01:45:24,236
If you got a car, get it in gear!
Come on, now!
1191
01:45:41,337 --> 01:45:43,589
- What's his mark?
- It was out of bounds.
1192
01:45:44,423 --> 01:45:45,841
Does he have a shot?
1193
01:45:47,468 --> 01:45:50,137
Then Hagen came back from the dead.
1194
01:45:57,561 --> 01:45:59,522
Let me get a smoke.
1195
01:45:59,605 --> 01:46:02,733
I want you to tell Spec to hold the flag
in case I make it. They'll love that.
1196
01:46:02,816 --> 01:46:04,109
I want a three iron.
1197
01:46:08,489 --> 01:46:09,907
Get my shoes, will ya?
1198
01:46:16,997 --> 01:46:18,582
Hey, what's goin' on?
1199
01:46:18,666 --> 01:46:21,126
Hagen wants Spec to hold the flag for him
in case he sinks it.
1200
01:46:21,710 --> 01:46:23,712
I'm gonna miss playing Walter.
1201
01:47:02,668 --> 01:47:04,211
Don't hold nothin' back.
1202
01:47:23,022 --> 01:47:24,398
The ball moved.
1203
01:47:24,481 --> 01:47:25,608
No.
1204
01:47:26,775 --> 01:47:27,985
It moved.
1205
01:47:30,112 --> 01:47:31,989
I have to call a stroke on myself.
1206
01:47:37,369 --> 01:47:38,469
No!
1207
01:47:39,330 --> 01:47:42,166
No. Don't do it. Please don't do it.
1208
01:47:42,249 --> 01:47:45,294
Only you and me seen it,
and I won't tell a soul.
1209
01:47:45,377 --> 01:47:48,005
Cross my heart. Ain't nobody gonna know.
1210
01:47:49,715 --> 01:47:51,467
I will, Hardy.
1211
01:47:53,135 --> 01:47:54,235
And so will you.
1212
01:47:56,889 --> 01:47:59,683
You've got to tell him not to do it,
Bagger.
1213
01:47:59,767 --> 01:48:02,645
It's just a stupid rule
that don't mean nothin'.
1214
01:48:02,728 --> 01:48:04,813
That's a choice for Mr. Junuh, Hardy.
1215
01:48:07,441 --> 01:48:09,401
No one wanted the penalty assessed,
1216
01:48:09,485 --> 01:48:11,904
not even Jones and Hagen.
1217
01:48:11,987 --> 01:48:13,947
This was no way to win a match.
1218
01:48:14,782 --> 01:48:16,492
Maybe you're mistaken, Junuh.
1219
01:48:17,076 --> 01:48:19,370
Maybe it moved
before you touched the impediment.
1220
01:48:19,453 --> 01:48:20,954
Might not have moved at all.
1221
01:48:21,038 --> 01:48:23,040
The light plays funny tricks
this time of day.
1222
01:48:23,123 --> 01:48:24,875
"A ball is deemed to have moved
1223
01:48:24,958 --> 01:48:28,045
if it leaves its original position
in the least degree,
1224
01:48:28,128 --> 01:48:29,672
but not if it merely oscillates
1225
01:48:29,755 --> 01:48:32,466
and comes to rest
in its original position."
1226
01:48:35,219 --> 01:48:36,470
Is she different?
1227
01:48:38,097 --> 01:48:39,306
Can you be certain?
1228
01:48:39,390 --> 01:48:43,602
Sometimes a ball will shudder
and then settle back again, Junuh.
1229
01:48:48,190 --> 01:48:51,527
The ball was here, and it rolled to here.
1230
01:49:01,203 --> 01:49:03,997
Hit it quick, old boy,
before you have time to think about it.
1231
01:49:31,775 --> 01:49:32,875
You're leaving.
1232
01:49:32,943 --> 01:49:36,071
Yes, sir. Yes, I am.
1233
01:49:36,947 --> 01:49:38,323
I need you.
1234
01:49:38,407 --> 01:49:39,575
No.
1235
01:49:40,617 --> 01:49:41,869
No, you don't.
1236
01:49:42,828 --> 01:49:44,371
Not no more.
1237
01:49:45,622 --> 01:49:49,543
There is a small matter.
Round about five dollars.
1238
01:49:50,836 --> 01:49:52,463
It was guaranteed.
1239
01:49:54,006 --> 01:49:55,382
Yes, it was.
1240
01:49:56,717 --> 01:49:58,635
Expect you won't be needin'
these shoes back,
1241
01:49:58,719 --> 01:50:01,472
now that I done broke 'em
into my foot and all, you know.
1242
01:50:07,519 --> 01:50:09,021
Thank you, sir.
1243
01:50:19,782 --> 01:50:21,450
This man is yours, Hardy.
1244
01:50:22,618 --> 01:50:23,911
Take him on in.
1245
01:50:24,495 --> 01:50:26,079
You want me...
1246
01:50:27,539 --> 01:50:29,792
to take over for you?
1247
01:50:30,959 --> 01:50:32,503
You leavin' me?
1248
01:50:32,586 --> 01:50:34,171
Only for a little while.
1249
01:50:36,548 --> 01:50:38,467
You pick up Mr. Junuh bag.
1250
01:50:39,551 --> 01:50:41,970
You tote it real straight, now. You hear?
1251
01:50:42,054 --> 01:50:46,183
But what if something comes up
and I don't know what to do?
1252
01:50:47,893 --> 01:50:50,229
I got a feeling you'll figure it out.
1253
01:50:51,605 --> 01:50:52,940
But I'll be seein' you.
1254
01:51:06,078 --> 01:51:08,497
Whoa, wait a minute. What's going on here?
1255
01:51:08,580 --> 01:51:10,916
You can't leave him now.
He needs you, Bagger.
1256
01:51:10,999 --> 01:51:13,877
You're the only chance he's got.
You have to stay.
1257
01:51:13,961 --> 01:51:16,880
You walk out of here like this,
you'll never caddie in Georgia again.
1258
01:51:16,964 --> 01:51:19,132
I'll personally see to it! You hear?
1259
01:51:38,402 --> 01:51:39,653
What's Junuh lie?
1260
01:51:39,736 --> 01:51:42,322
He lies two with a penalty.
He'll be hittin' three.
1261
01:51:50,706 --> 01:51:53,834
Well, I can't hit it any better than that.
1262
01:52:10,392 --> 01:52:11,492
Yes, sir.
1263
01:52:13,896 --> 01:52:15,272
Judging from the sound,
1264
01:52:15,355 --> 01:52:17,774
I think I just knocked your ball
in the cup.
1265
01:52:29,786 --> 01:52:31,288
Interesting match.
1266
01:52:33,373 --> 01:52:35,000
I always thought so.
1267
01:52:38,712 --> 01:52:41,715
All right, everybody. Comin' through.
Out of the way. Get back.
1268
01:52:48,430 --> 01:52:52,225
Hagen and Jones both lay two,
a shot ahead of Junuh.
1269
01:52:52,309 --> 01:52:56,104
If either of them sank their putts,
Junuh would lose.
1270
01:52:58,565 --> 01:53:00,150
What do you think, Hardy?
1271
01:53:01,860 --> 01:53:04,863
Well, the night air has gotten colder.
1272
01:53:05,697 --> 01:53:10,160
My guess is it's put a layer of dew
on the warmer grass,
1273
01:53:10,243 --> 01:53:11,870
which is gonna slow your ball down.
1274
01:53:19,586 --> 01:53:22,464
Why don't you go on over
and stand with your father?
1275
01:53:22,547 --> 01:53:24,132
Are you sure?
1276
01:53:24,216 --> 01:53:26,593
Go ahead. Go on.
1277
01:53:37,771 --> 01:53:39,815
That is one tough shot.
1278
01:53:40,899 --> 01:53:42,317
Make it.
1279
01:56:40,203 --> 01:56:41,788
Hooray!
1280
01:56:57,179 --> 01:57:03,143
Rannulph Junuh from Savannah, Georgia,
tied Mr. Bobby Jones and Mr. Walter Hagen
1281
01:57:03,226 --> 01:57:06,730
in the greatest golf match
the world has ever seen!
1282
01:57:35,842 --> 01:57:40,013
That was the last match in competition
Bobby Jones ever played.
1283
01:57:41,806 --> 01:57:46,186
From that time on, Walter Hagen
played only exhibition matches.
1284
01:57:58,073 --> 01:58:01,743
As for Captain Rannulph Junuh
and Adele Invergordon...
1285
01:58:03,787 --> 01:58:05,789
they did have that dance.
1286
01:58:23,056 --> 01:58:24,349
And me?
1287
01:58:26,309 --> 01:58:29,896
Well, it seems like yesterday
I used to see old guys like me,
1288
01:58:29,980 --> 01:58:33,483
wonder why they still bothered
with this crazy game.
1289
01:58:45,370 --> 01:58:47,289
But it doesn't matter.
1290
01:58:47,372 --> 01:58:51,418
As Bagger once said, it's a game
that can't be won, only played.
1291
01:58:52,460 --> 01:58:55,171
So, I play. I play on.
1292
01:58:55,964 --> 01:58:58,383
I play for the moments yet to come...
1293
01:58:59,592 --> 01:59:02,220
lookin' for my place in the field.
