Reminiscence Anyone who enjoys golf, will enjoy the film, "The Legend of Bagger Vance", showing around town. It's set in 1931 in Savannah, Georgia. 'Bagger' is a guardian angel type caddie, played brilliantly by Negro actor, Will Smith. The hero of the story has to play 72 against golfing greats, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. The actors playing them are the image of these famous golfers compared with old photographs I have seen of them. It was fascinating to see the styles of 1931: plus fours (plus twos are in style now), bow ties and long patterned socks. Jones gave up golf at 28, having won 13 national titles in 8 years, including the 'Grand Slam' in 1930. He was an amateur, retiring to become a lawyer. Hagen is shown exactly as in real life; pompous, a womanizer, carefree, flamboyant dresser and intense competitor. All of this comes out in the film. Hagen won more than 60 international tournaments and four consecutive PGA championships. Apart from the legends, there is a good story too. The narrative is provided by Jack Lemmon, who plays an ageing hacker. Sound familiar? John Ryan Match - Ladies Results just to hand. CLEEK STICK RESULTS HICKORY STICK RESULTS
