The Legend of Bagger Vance (1995)
“It was torment at its purest, for I was dispatched onto the course, supposedly in a position of responsibility and honor, yet that very position kept me just out of range of seeing the players and the round. I missed everything.
Do you know what a forecaddie is, Michael? I didn’t, until I found myself in the tumult following the welcoming ceremonies being swept up by two of Dougal McDermott’s assistant professionals and whisked with seven other boys, amid much urgency and excitement, into Krewe Island’s staff locker area. There tailors were waiting to fit us (and scores of other marshals, officials and gallery guards) with navy-blue plus fours, white linen shirts with the Krewe Island monogram, and matching navy neckties. It was clear this was a great honor; my inclusion was apparently in deference to my father’s position in the community, and also a reward for my own work of the night before. It meant nothing to me; all I wanted was to be with Junah and Bagger Vance.
