Swing Away

- Back at the Seaview resort

for Shoprite LPGA classic,

just outside Atlantic city,

Galloway township, New Jersey

where we have a beauty

on our hands right now.

Zoe Papadopoulos

trying to break back

into that winner's circle

for a very promising career

that has gone a little

wayward of late,

trying to hold off,

or actually catch in this case

Nicole Castrale, a prolific

winner on the LPGA tour.

It's not a tough putt.

She's got a lot out

of her game today

and made plenty of putts

on these inconsistent

Greens at times,

but this is a big

one here, final hole.

For the win, did she hit it?

Oh, but she left it just short.

That's a certain par,

tap-in for Nicole Castrale.

Now, all the pressure switches

back to Zoe Papadopoulos.

She now has three feet

to force a playoff

and we'll see if she can get

those nerves under control.

Trying to settle herself down.

It's just a routine putt,

it's only three feet,

it's straight uphill.

She could make it

with her eyes closed.

Not a word being spoken.

You could hear a pin

drop in the gallery.

Oh, hit the lip again.

Oh my word.

- Damn.

- She just

buried the putter in the green,

that's an unforgivable

sin for golfers

and the worst display of

sportsmanship I have ever seen.

This is a complete meltdown.

No, burying that

putter in the green

is almost a certain suspension

for a very long time.

- Okay.

Not so fast.

- Where are you going?

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Calling to drop me, Derek?

- Drop, no, why,

because of the thing?

- Yes, Derek, because of

the humiliating myself

and ruining my

career thing, Jesus.

- Everybody wants

you, everybody.

- What are you talking about?

- ESPN, GMA, Jimmy

Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel,

Kelly Meyers, the list goes on.

That little meltdown

you had, it went viral.

Everybody wants a

piece of you, honey.

- No, no way.

- No, no way, everybody thinks

you went a little crazy.

I try to keep a little low,

but if you go on these shows

and show you a little humility

and a little contrition...

- don't use words

you don't understand.

- Hey, hey, doll

face, it's my job

to turn this into

a positive, okay?

Go home, have a dr...

- this is good here.

Holy mother of god!

Zoe!

You give a heart attack, Zoe.

I didn't know it was you.

- I'm sorry, Yiayia

- who is it?

- Your granddaughter!

- How did you get here,

why didn't you call?

- Hi, Pappous.

My love!

- How did you get here?

Why didn't you call?

I would have come

to the airport.

I asked her this already.

- I know, I know, I'm sorry.

It was just a spur of

the moment decision.

I just really wanted

to see you guys.

This place hasn't

changed at all.

That's because someone

doesn't fix what he's asked to fix.

I work all day long, woman.

- All day long with the newspaper.

- Whatever.

- But where is the boyfriend

you wrote us about, Zoe?

- He's not in the

picture anymore.

- Why, what did the bastard do?

Take Zoe's things to her room,

this is none of your business.

That's what I'm doing.

- Oh, no, it's okay,

Pappous, I got it.

- It's okay.

I have to fix these steps.

Someone might kill himself.

Watch your step.

Come on.

Unpack and we'll eat

when you're ready.

Very good, Pappou.

I'll be there.

Good morning.

Good morning!

- We were going to

send for the doctor.

Oil the tray.

- I'm sorry, is

there any coffee?

- Coffee.

- It smells amazing in here.

It's the sugar cookies.

- You must eat something.

Athletes need energy.

- Athletes.

What are you grumbling about,

old man?

- Now, I know you never

wanted to believe it, Pappous,

but golf is a sport.

- We have missed our little Zoe.

It was been too many years

since your last visit.

I hope you can have a long

stay with us this time.

- Oh, I can stay a week,

10 days at the most.

A week? What kind of visit is this?

Stop it.

- What your Pappous means

is it's wonderful to see you

and we will enjoy whatever

time we have together.

- Hey!

Hey!

You need to be more safer.

Golf is played in a green grass.

Not the sea where you can

make people dead.

Hello?

You speak Greek?

- I do, but I think you don't.

- Why aren't you

playing on a golf course

like a normal person?

- I'm not allowed to play there.

- Probably 'cause

you're a hazard.

- No, I know how to play,

better than anyone

in this village.

- Oh, really, and who

taught you the game?

You know, you really

should be using a wedge.

Me?

A skip shot.

Watch.

- Father.

Katarina.

- Excuse me, Marcos, a moment.

- You remember my famous

granddaughter from America?

- Of course I do.

- We have been following

your career somewhat, Zoe,

nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

- Zoe, father Anthony

also knows the golf.

- Hardly.

I spent some time in America

and some of my friends

there are big golfers,

not pros like you, of course.

- Zoe is on her way to play

a pro tournament in Dubai.

- So, your suspension was a

short one, that is a good news.

- Suspension?

Tell me of this suspension.

- I meant to tell you about

all of this earlier, Yia Yia.

I'm really sorry, I needed

to clear my head first.

- Clear your head of

what, what trouble?

- What is going on?

- Zoe was suspended.

- Okay, how do I

say this in Greek?

Um..

I lose game.

I go crazy.

Um...

Then I make myself the ass.

I wanted to see my family...

because I feel too bad.

Sit down, sit down.

- It's okay, Zoe, it's okay.

Don't worry about this

golf, it is nothing.

No, no, golf is very important for Zoe.

We want to hear, tell us.

- I could sum it all up in

one sentence, I have the yips.

- Yips?

- What are yips?

- It's a kind of golf curse.

It means I can't putt,

if I can't putt, I can't play,

there's no more tour for me.

- Well, maybe the

time for golf is over,

maybe it's time

for something new.

- What your Pappous

means is we want you

to stay here as

long as you like.

We have golf course

here, you 'member?

- How can I forget?

It's the first place dad

ever took me to play.

I haven't been there is so long.

- Yeah, you don't wanna

go there, trust me.

It is owned by a rude American

and run by a Greek idiot.

- What does it matter,

it's still a proper golf course

where Zoe can practice her yips.

Eh? Eh?

- Well, this is quite

a golf course, Panos.

- I'm glad to hear it, sir.

- Kinda like playing

in your own backyard.

Got the whole place to yourself.

- Privacy is very important, sir

- you know what it

reminds me of, Panos?

Peeing in a dark suit.

You get this warm feeling,

but nobody notices.

- Yes.

- You see, I didn't

pay a small fortune

to have my own

private golf course.

I bought this thing because

I wanted to make some money.

- Yes, yes, making money

is very important, sir.

- Will you explain to me how

I'm suppose to make some money

when there's not one

blessed golfer out here?

Oh my god.

Are those sheep, really?

I've got big plans

for this Panayiotis

and if you wanna be involved,

then you get this house in order
