 The Legend of Bagger Vance: Cinephiles Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Legend of Bagger Vance, directed by Robert Redford, written by Jeremy Leven, and based on the novel by Steven Pressfield, tells a story about winning, losing and the need for redemption, from the perspective of an American professional golfer and war veteran.
The Legend of Bagger Vance successfully establishes the act of playing golf as a metaphor for living and defines its players' commitment toward winning as representative of people's capacity and willingness to embrace life.
In this sense, The Legend of Bagger Vance transcends the specifics of the sport of golf, while using these to deliver the notion that the discipline, sensibility and motivation required to win the game applies to all pursuits in life.

Hagen was one of the legends of golf: a flsmith’s son whose workmanlike attention to the game made him history’s first millionaire athlete.
They appreciated Hagen’s lack of pretentiousness — the way he would drop in for a whiskey and a beer at the Little Bohemia Bar and Grill or play a round of golf at the local country club -- and when he died in 1969 he was genuinely mourned.
Like Hagen himself, it’s an unpretentious course whose strength is in its simplicity and its stunning natural backdrop, so when organizers first came forward three years ago with the idea of a memorial hickory-stick tournament in Hagen’s honor, it seemed the natural place for it.
