Nobody. Good day, gentlemen.

Adele!

Nobody holds your father responsible|for this depression!

You're a damn fool!

Save your breath, judge. She'll sell.

You really think Jones and Hagen...

... will come to Krewe Island|just because she wants them to?

All four golf championships|in a single year.

The Grand Slam. Simply amazing.

I don't believe that's been done|in the history of golf.

No, it...

It takes my breath away.

You don't impress me|as someone who loses her breath.

Did you know that reprobate,|Mr. Walter Hagen...

...who I hear spends every minute|chasing after women...

...has been approached to play in the|$10,000 Krewe Island exhibition match?

No, I didn't.

But how is this an urgent|matter for the American Red Cross?

- Did I say that?|- At the front door.

May I speak candidly, Mr. Jones?

I wish you would.

I've come here to see you because...

...to the South, you're a hero.

They see you as a young god.

Brave, valiant...

...glorious.

One of the greatest golfers|in the world today.

I would say "the greatest golfer"...

...were it not for that|incident last year...

...when Mr. Hagen whupped you by|12 strokes on your very own course.

You say he's been invited to play|at Krewe Island?

She has a remarkable talent,|Mr. Hagen.

I hit the ball.

I wonder if you might excuse us|for a minute, Anna Mae?

I won't be long.

A charming woman. Although,|she gave me quite a fright.

With so much weight in front,|I swore she'd topple over...

...before she ever got to her knees.

I do admire a man with your...

...vitality.

The South is in such an|unfortunate place these days...

...and Savannah most of all.

Memories of our defeat in the war|between the States still linger...

...and with them,|the defeated men who returned...

...lacking that vigor|we women associate with your gender.

Now, sadly, here is Savannah, teeming|with the most attractive young women...

...and nobody, absolutely nobody,|to satisfy them.

Except for Bobby Jones, who will be|playing in our Krewe Island tournament.

He says, "It don't matter what it is,|it won't hurt you."

"You just pop one in your mouth|and you chew."

I'm pleased to announce|Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen...

...have accepted|my golfing invitation...

...with enthusiasm.

First, of course...

...Miss Adele Invergordon's commitment|to her father's dream.

Not one to concede defeat easily...

... Neskaloosa engineered an|uprising against the tournament.

You boys think I've been drinking|too much blackjack tea...

...but they'll be parking|in our streets...

...and taxing the limits|of our constabulary...

Do you think one of them|damn rich Yankees...

...gives a hoot about Savannah|or anybody in it?
