The Greatest Game Ever Played Page #2

of thing that caddies do.

You're a caddie?

Yes, sir, I was.

Caddies don't play in the Amateur.

It's not for your kind.

Members only.

We need to discuss the opening

on the greens committee.

I'm sorry.

But there must be a way

for somebody who's not

a member to compete.

Not this year.

As if he could afford

the $50 entrance fee.

Excuse me. Sir...

...if I were to pay the $50,

would I need to belong to a club?

Technically, no.

You would still need a club member

in good standing to sponsor you, and...

And... that would be me.

Fifty dollars to play golf.

I'll pay back every penny

from my earnings.

Is this how I failed you?

Is that all you've learned from me?

No, sir.

But it's just a game.

A game?

A game doesn't give a man what he

needs to make a life, feed his family.

If I win,

great things could happen.

Nothing will happen.

They'll use you

for their own amusement.

I can do this. This is

something I'm good at.

What if you do?

What will you get for your $50?

I had dreams too, Francis.

No matter what you do,

they'll never let you

cross that street.

All I want is a chance.

OK.

OK, we make a bargain.

You promise me if you lose,

no more golf.

You give up this fool's game.

You finish your schooling,

you learn a trade,

and you bring home

an honest wage.

If I don't qualify?

Yes, I promise.

[music plays from inside club]

It's the English edition.

It's not even in print here yet.

Harry Vardon.

Thank you.

Read it, study it.

You'll need a 78 to qualify.

Stiffer competition.

These are the best

amateurs in the country.

Do you think I'm ready?

I don't know, and neither

will you until you're in it.

There's golf, and there's

championship golf.

Keep it for me.

I'm going to the party.

They said all the players

are invited.

What's it like in there?

I couldn't tell you.

I'm not allowed inside.

[orchestra playing

You Made Me Love You]

Do me a favor, would you?

Hi.

Hi. This boy I used to see

before I left for college is after me.

- Pretend you asked me to dance.

- There you are, you peach.

You know, you can't

avoid me all evening.

I... I said a dance, Phillip.

Not this one.

- I promised this one to...

- Francis Ouimet.

- Do I know your family?

- I don't know.

- Phillip Wainwright?

- Wainwright?

Oh, yes. Wainwrights,

good people.

Wainwrights.

Well, the evening's young.

She'll catch up with you.

You're a real sport for helping.

It's no trouble.

I had the craziest day.

I take a train from Philadelphia,

my bags end up in Baltimore.

My tux is in the bags

in Baltimore.

I'm wearing the houseman's suit.

I think you look just fine.

You too.

Is he gone?

No, he's still watching.
