Becoming Redwood Page #2

---

I am your host,

and do I have a big surprise

the 1975 classic finish

and I got chillsut it.

So let me send youn crime,

who always calls it straight,

Charlie renfrew.

The pressure here

the galleryneedles.

Nicklaus has just hit

a wonderful approach shot...

...at the 16th green.

He's now gotfoot slider...

...he's only

about 100 yards away

from where

weiskopf hit that putt.

Now, up the hill...

Fantastic, he's done it!

Oh, what a finish!

And now the stage shifts...

Back to

the 11-year-old sensation

redwood forest Hansen.

Inside left.

Firm.

He's got about...

A 10-foot puttck,

who's sitting at 8 under par.

It looks...

Good!

Yes!

Redwood forest Hansen

makes birdie

and is tied with Jack nicklaus

going into the 17th tee-box

at Augusta national!

Redwood.

Hey, man,

it's after midnight.

You have school

tomorrow.

I know it's your

last day of school

before summer break,

but not to mention

the boob-tube's only to be

watched with adults, huh?

But, dad, I just made birdie

to tie Jack with two holes left

going...

you know,

it wouldn't matter

if the dalai lama

made an eagle.

You know better, man.

Everyone else gets to

watch television.

Why can't I?

'Cause we're not

everybody.

Come on, red...

You'll thank me someday

for this, man.

You don't see it now,

but you will.

It's no big deal, man.

I love you, man.

You want to look at

the photo albums

before we go

back to bed?

You said

we could talk about Oregon.

Yeah... yeah.

I guess I did.

You know, man...

Life can be heavy.

You know...

And sometimes things

are just hard to explain,

but I guess

you're old enough now

to understand.

I mean, when I was a kid,

it took me years

to understand anything,

literally.

But you...

You're just...

You're way more progressed

than I was at your age.

Hands down.

Oops!

Uh... a little too soon

for that, though!

So, uh...

What was I saying?

Are you stoned?

I'm fine.

Oh, sh*t.

You're stoned.

Here, drink this.

You hungry?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

So, I think

you were around five,

when I was first able

to contact your mom again.

Jade.

So beautiful to me.

She'd been gone

for a couple of years,

and, uh, everything

was a struggle.

Everything.

We agreed to meet,

but the border

was a little too tough

for me at that time,

and-and her life...

Well, her life was...

was difficult.

But I want you

to know, red,

that we did

everything we could

to try and stay in touch,

all right?

Especially for you.

But... truth is,

your mom moved on...

And our lives all

continued separately.

And I had to deal with it,

and she had to

deal with it,

and now you,

you deserve

the truth, man.
