[whacking in distance]
[low indistinct chatter]
Who are you?
What are you doing?
There's a golf links
going in here.
What's golf?
Golf is a game
played by gentlemen.
Not for the likes of you.
Now, run along, boy.
[golf ball struck]
Here it is, sir.
[squishes]
[man] Come on! Let's go!
[gasps]
That's it.
Sit up straight, Sarah.
Lightly on the reins. There.
This is how we do it, Francis.
We work hard, and we bring
home the money.
Work hard.
Bring home the money.
- Guillermo!
- Yes, sir!
Come on!
[ball rolls on floor]
Francis, what in the world
are you doin'?
It's after midnight!
You're keepin' your
brother up. Go to bed.
Raymond, go to sleep.
No talkin'.
No noises. I mean it.
What have you got there,
Francis? Hmm?
Francis.
Can I see him, Father? Please?
What's he talking about?
See who?
Harry Vardon.
Any gentleman
who plays this game
is not a friend to you.
I know.
But he's the greatest ever.
- Arthur, I don't see the harm in...
- Not another word.
The boy goes to school today.
That's the end of it.
[woman] Mrs. Darcy, mind the little one!
He'll try to climb those stairs.
Francis, leave your books.
I've got shoppin' to do.
You come with me now.
Father said
I had to go to school.
You can miss school for one day.
Besides, I need help
with me packages. Come along.
What could be
causing such a fuss?
[chuckles]
Go on. I'll find ya.
[applause]
- [audience] Oooh!
- [applause]
Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.
I'll now presume
upon your goodwill
and request the services
of a volunteer.
Anyone?
[laughter]
Oh! [chuckles]
Hello. What's your name?
- Francis.
- Hello, Mr. Francis.
Now, do you know
what this is?
A brassie.
So it is.
Have a bash.
[laughter]
[mouths] Go on.
That's all right, Francis.
Even in our darkest hour,
we must always remember,
you never despair.
Have you held
a live bird in your hands?
Not too hard to hurt her.
Just firm enough to stop it
from flying away.
Try it again.
- Oooh!
- [applause]
Did you see that?
Hail the conquering hero!
Mr. Darwin.
- Is this what I think it is?
- I'm not sure, Harry.
I received a summons
from Lord Northcliffe,
- just as you did.
- Keep the change, mate.
- He's waiting inside.
- Today's the day.
But, Harry, no professional
has ever been asked
to join a gentlemen's
golf club as a member.
First time for everything, Bernard.
- Yes.
- Look at this place.
Why else would they
want you here?
He doesn't confide in me.
I only work for him.
Ten years ago,
I was clippin' hedges.
Mmm.
Marvelous.
Brilliantly done, Harry.
Thank you, sir.
I'd be honored if you
gentlemen would consider
- adding it to your trophy case.
- A glittering addition.
We'd be pleased to keep it for you.
Wouldn't we, Neville?
Handsome.
But you might not get it back
without a tussle.
Don't plan on handing it back
myself without a fight.
[Northcliffe] Harry,
I'll come to the point.
We've had an opening at our club.
Lord Bullock chairs
the membership committee.
[Bullock] What does
your father do?
Uh, he's a gardener on Jersey, sir.
I'm told you're Church of Rome.
- Mother's French?
- Yes, sir.
I believe we can work around it.
It's decided, then.
You're just the man for us.
Well, I don't know
what to say, sir.
[chuckles] Well, say yes.
We want you to work for us.
Decent wage.
You can run your own shop.
Lessons, of course.
Charge what you like for those.
[Bullock] You're the only man
who can set me right.
[Northcliffe]
You'll have your work cut out.
