The Legend of Bagger Vance Page #6
That ain't it.
If you had, you wouldn't|be hacking at that ball...
...like you was chopping weeds.
Just give me the club.
Sorry I bring it up.|Take that, hack away.
Here, Billy, over here!
All right, what's the "field"?
Fix your eyes on Bobby Jones.
- He's a piece of work.|- Give the man room.
Knock it out there, Bobby.
Look at his practice swing.
Almost like he's searching|for something.
Then he finds it.
Watch how he settle this up,|right into the middle.
Feel that focus.
He's got a lot of shots to choose from.
Duffs and tops and skulls.
There's only one shot that's|in perfect harmony with the field.
One shot that's his...
...authentic shot.
That shot is gonna choose him.
There's a perfect shot trying|to find every one of us.
All we got to do is get ourselves|out of its way...
...and let it choose us.
Look at him, he in the field.
You can't see that flag|as some dragon you got to slay.
You've got to look with soft eyes.
See the place where the tides,|and the seasons...
...the turning of the earth...
...all come together.
Where everything that is...
...becomes one.
You've got to seek that place,|with your soul, Junuh.
Seek it with your hands,|don't think about it, feel it.
Your hands are wiser than|your head's ever gonna be.
I can't take you there...
...just hopes I can help you|find a way.
It's just you...
...that ball...
...that flag...
... and all you are. Seek it|with your hands, don't think...
... about it, feel it.
There's only one shot|that's in harmony with the field.
The home of your authentic swing.|That flag...
... and all that you are.
Even a blind squirrel finds|an acorn now and then.
The rest of that afternoon is a blur.
Junuh kept asking question|after question about the field.
Bagger acted like nothing much|had happened...
... and made remarks about how much|Hagen's socks must have cost...
... and how long to dry tobacco leaves|before they make a good smoke.
But somehow, in the middle of it all,|Junuh started playing golf.
As the day and second round came to|an end, there was genuine excitement.
I do so enjoy this little game.
Why don't you ladies|join me for dinner?
Hello, Hugh.
Junuh.
I'll have a double scotch.|Pretty entertaining out there today.
That's what the people want.
Entertainment.
I got a proposition, Junuh.
Exhibitions are the thing.|$5-10,000 for two days' work.
Would you like to go on tour with me?
We'd have good matches, but I'd win.
Then we'd split the money, 70-30.
You get the 30.
I'm not just looking|for another payday here.
I couldn't breathe without golf.
I once had the next king of England|hold the pin for me while I putted.
I did.
I've paid back everything golf|gave me, many times over.
But now I'm on the receiving end.
It's the good life.
I think we have a lot in common,|you and I.
You've got no illusions that there's|anything worthwhile out there.
The meaning of it all is|that there is no meaning.
You'd be good company, that's all.
Thanks, I'll think it over.
I admire the way you're|dealing with this match, Junuh.
Fighting the way you are,|it's damn noble.
But no matter how good|a fighter you are, just remember:
I can ask the king to hold|the flag when I putt...
...but he won't give me his crown.|Neither is Bobby and neither am I.
I'm not asking for your crown, Walter.
If I wanted it bad enough,|I'd just take it.
Do you have something to discuss?|This might not be the right time...
I can win, Adele.
I can beat both of them.
Look in my eyes and tell me|what you see.
Determination, pure determination.
Panic, Adele, pure panic.
I'm eight strokes behind|the two greatest golfers.
They've never blown a lead,|and I'll win.
- Know why?|- Panic?
That's right.
Oh, Junuh...
...you don't, by any chance...?|- Yes.
I ought to go back to my guests.
Yes, I should go back.
You will stay in touch...
...I can't wait another 12 years|for the next installment.
Did you miss something about me?
Something I can feel gratified about|depriving you of all these years?
I liked the way we danced.
I need the driver.|This is gonna take all I got.
That's a jigger. Help you|keep it under the wind.
My putter's got more loft|than this thing.
No, they about the same.
Good, I'll just putt|the ball down the fairway.
Anything else?
Just bash the living sh*t out of it.
An iron? I guess it doesn't|matter what you use...
...when you're eight strokes back.
- What club was that?|- Mid-iron.
- Some kind of driving iron.|- Extraordinarily hit, I'd say.
Pull the flag, Hardy!
Yes, sir!
Junuh eagled, picking up|two strokes on the first hole.
That's it!
He picked up another stroke|when Jones bogeyed the second.
And two more on Hagen|when he double-bogeyed the third.
Does that look like 180 yards to you?
No...
...it's 181.
Might want to play the ball|back a bit.
He just hit a hole in one!|Hot dang!
I just seen a miracle|with my own eyes!
He just hit a hole in one!
Homer, you're not gonna believe this,|Junuh made a hole in one!
He's coming back now!|He's gonna make it!
- You're kidding!|- What?
Junuh's making a run for it!
He's three from Jones|and two from Hagen!
He made a hole in one! God bless|Savannah and the men she propagates!
Get back! How do you expect|Junuh to hit the ball?
His play in the third round|was beautiful to watch.
While Jones and Hagen discovered|new hazards...
... Junuh had discovered, as Bagger|had so eloquently put it...
... how to stop thinking|without falling asleep.
Junuh finished the third round|one stroke behind.
It was a new match, and no one|knew it better than Jones and Hagen.
- Can I have your autograph?|- Not now, girls.
Gents.
I don't believe Walter planned|on exerting himself.
It was fun this morning, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
This is my last match, Junuh.|I'm retiring.
You're at the top of your game.
I've got a wife, three children,|and a law practice.
It's time to stop.
It's just a game, Junuh.
I'll never forget you winning|the Georgia Open in 1916.
I never seen a swing so sweet...
...or a man get so much|pleasure from it.
This is my last 18 holes, Junuh.
And I couldn't have picked|a better way to end it.
Thank you, Bobby.
It is truly my pleasure.
I can't let you win out of sympathy.
You know that.
I do, and I have no intentions|of losing my last match.
Thank you, Mr. Junuh.
Junuh!
Junuh, look over here!
Which would be more important|to you, beating...?
Excuse me! Excuse me!|Give him some room. Thank you.
- I'd like to have a word with you.|- This isn't a good time, Adele.
No, I think this is|a very good time.
I don't want to do anything that might|disrupt your concentration...
...but since our little encounter,|I've been thinking...
Ten years and not a single,|solitary word from you?
You don't do that|to someone you love.
I deserve some correspondence,|and some indication of what you felt.
