The Legend of Bagger Vance is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I watched it twice this weekend. Based on the book by Steven Pressfield, the movie tells the story of Rannulph Junah, a disillusioned war veteran who reluctantly agrees to play a game of golf with Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones.

Stuart would look into a mirror and say, “I am good enough, I am smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.” And let us not forget the wonderful reminder from Viola Davis’ […]
