I see the field every time I play. The field. The sand the water the bushes the weeds and the trees to. I see it all. And then I see the beer cart.

There’s a lot of criticism thrown at this movie, but in the end it’s a beautiful story of a man broken by war who is rehabilitated and healed. Excellent performances by Will Smith and Matt Damon.

In August of 1969 I was in Basic combat training at Ft. Biss in Texas. We were having "Record" fire at the rifle range. There was over a 1000 men shooting that day. We were shooting for our rifleman medals that day. When I went on line to shoot my 100 rounds of 7.62 x 51 using an M14 rifle. I felt just like this. I was in the groove and I was one with my weapon and the range. Everything dropped away. There was just the sun, the sand and the targets popping up down range. I began firing. It was amazing. The targets came up, my rifle fired. Again & again for 100 shots. Everything else just faded out. I was one with the rifle. The soldier doing my scoring was extremely excited. I was aware of him, but paid no attention to his words. I was too busy shooting. When I was done, I had only missed one shot. I scored Expert. But that was not all. It turned out that I had the best score in the entire battalion. It was a magical afternoon for me. I was just 17 years old. I'd never felt so good in my life. I still remember that day.

Will Smith gives an underrated monologue in this scene. One of the best.

Love this movie. Very underated.

“Look like 180 yards to you?” “No…it’s 181.” What a great life lesson from these two sentences.

Maybe the most beautiful 6 minutes of golf ever filmed. Still gives me chills. Love the actor who plays Jones. Everytime I've seen him in anything else, I think of this scene. He IS Bobby Jones. I'm sure his buddies and family tell him the same thing.

BOBBY was a work of ART 👍

Legend of Slapper Vance

I have never been a sports fan, but I absolutely love most sports movies. This one is a GREAT example of one that I love. The cinematography and camera work is truly wonderful, and it's a great story.

The best round I ever played was when I only concentrated on how the swing felt and tried to swing the club in a full proper circle to a musical rhythm. I truly had no idea of what my score was during the round and told my playing partners not to tell me what it was. Every shot I played I just thought of the circle. Occasionally I can repeat some of that but usually struggle. The feeling comes and goes and it takes a lot of faith to just swing the club especially when the score is good. Just a great film

this movie is about far more than golf, its about life.. golf is the tool used to get the message over... the finding of inner peace and harmony in the most unlikely of places... at times when you need it most.. what a beautiful film, ive seen non better...

One of my most favorite movie moments. it is the truth for anything a person does. whatever sport, whatever creative effort, whatever challenge.

My boys wicked smaaht

this is one of the most beautiful scenes choreographed in a sports movie ever.

This scene encapsulates the feeling of golf perfectly. The focus on hitting that ball melds with the beauty of the landscape, the smell of the mist, the feeling of a slight breeze, the sun peering through a tree. All comes into one. It's kind of like a feel, don't think vibe, but it still related well to the game game.

"Cuz if you had seen the field, you wouldn't be hacking at that ball like you was choppin' weeds out from under your front porch" LOL!

This movie is amazing. Great performances from the entire cast.

Will Smith plays this so beautifully...

In my top 5 movies of all time. This movie to me is about overcoming the personal struggle within to find our true self. The flick has heart , passion and loads of soul. Robert Redford is an amazing man.

So much wisdom in one speech. "Get ourselves outta its way" "Your hands are wiser than your head ever gonna be" "See that focus..." "Aint some dragon you gotta slay" Why do the best athletes make it look effortless? Because for them, it is.

Best quote of the movie "Your hands are smarter than your heads ever gonna be" Point is you have to feel your way through Golf, just like life. I have learned so much about myself and about life through the game. It has touched my life and whether I'm playing good or bad I enjoy every stroke because I know it's a gift, not a privledge. Truly is the greatest game there is and will ever be. You only have yourself to blame be it good bad or ugly. Just like life 👍

I'm glad I saw this clip to remind me of what a great movie this was. I haven't seen it in a long time. Definitely on my list of movies to re-watch

From that day on, matt Damon still takes 30 minutes to play every stroke

Underrated film. Underrated soundtrack.

Ah shit, now my recommended is full of golf...

Funny how everyone but Bagger look so concentrated/anxious/dumbstruck at that last shot. Bagger is completely calm. He knew that ball was in way before it landed.

Bagger Vance's character is a character that Key & Peele would call a "Magical Negro".

Wonderful scene. Long time since i seen this film. Very underated movie. May have to watch it agin soon:) #

Love it When Bobby Jones Expression changes as he is approaching the ball...FOCUS!!

thank you for posting this momentous clip ... perhaps I've seen these fragments 55 times .. and every time I'm moved more than the time before ...

One of the greatest sports movies EVER. Great use of music too. That music theme is amazing!

The quality of this video actually gets worse when I put my glasses on.

True love letter to the game.

perfect movie for a hangover day... makes you re-think everything

Tiger saw the field last Sunday.

Such a good movie! There’s tons of quasi-spiritual wisdom in this film like this scene!

God damn it Will!!! We thought you learned your lesson at the end of Good Will Hunting!!!! Apparently not..... So now you gotta learn from another iconic man

This scene is kinda accurate to how it is for me when I play or even just hit balls at the driving range. It's focus, muscle memory and replicating that unique authentic swing that only works for you and no one else. I feel myself blanking everything out the same way, it's just me and the ball, like Bagger says here.

We often not see the "Field", rather the straight line to where we tend to go. Glad this movie section makes it so damn clear, that there is more! And it applies not only to golf players, also to all of us in life situations :-)

Probably my all-time favorite ‘sports’ movie. So Good! Emotional too.

The most important aspect of this movie.........

I wonder if Jada thought Will deserved an Oscar for this one too. Yes sir, masa, you is a great golfer.

Watching it for the third time. Especially after the Open Day at the Semperoper in Dresden watching the ballet training it makes me thinking of how difficult it is to convene a team, either on stage, on the shopfloor or the field. It is the small moves that make the difference when the field is choosing us. During my vivid playing time of Ultimate Frisbee there was one particular tournament when this perfect setting happened - team of unknown found together winning the the overall tournament:-)

nice thing about will smith being in a movie, you know it's going to be a good show.

I see the field every Sunday morning when I go swing the wrenches, I just end up in the trees.

From that moment on, he knows that he will forever be.......so much on the clock

Will Smith: “... the tides and seasons, and the turn of the earth...” Flat-Earthers: REEEEEEEEEEE

I didn’t realize that golf can be so poetic.

Such a beautiful film! 👏❤️🏌🏽🏌🏽‍♀️

Legend is that the ball was a paid actor

i love this movie

"What up ya'll? My name is Bagger Vance! Hittin' the ball's like making romance!"

Great book - great movie - full of life drops.

The magical black man always solves every sports movie heroes internal problem.

I see the field and put the ball there every time - it's the field alongside the golf course

love this scene

I’ve seen the field not just once but twice maybe threes, maybe more..god willing who knows. y’all I have felt it and I have seen the field. I’ve seen people in the field and they don’t return. But those moments, those many moments that I’ve expieranced this, I have been in awe. The world, the competition, my problems disappear but every meaning, birth and journey comes to light. I begin to forget what this world means but only what it was built by..not on. All I wanted was to expierance to peace, mentally. Until I watched this movie and I tried this in a empty roller rink. All by myself and I went into this field mode and I felt free.

This movie makes me cry. Yep, every time.

@THEDEJAVUEFFECT Love this post, couldn't be more spot on. Great movie. Gives me goosebumps every time i watch this part.

It's a small role but my favorite Smith's job. He can perform very well when He's not trying to be goofy

This movie was so good 👌

The art of talent to where you put all of your trust into your thoughts but the feel is real. The last stance between you & whatever you are seeking so if you can images it then it will prevale & come true. “ The Touch”

the best golf story I've ever seen and so true to real golf!

Moves me everytime. I love the game.

Pair behind them saying, "Aww Christ Almighty hit da ball will ya? My mudda coulda wauked ta Southie in this time and she wicked slow!"

Favorite scene of the movie

seek it wid ya hands dont think about feel it, your hands am wiser thn your head ever gonna be, i carnt take you there junoh, hopes i can make you find a way . . . ITS JUST YOU THT BALL, THT FLAG this film is biggg mannnn shame a lot of ppl havent herd of it . . .

this may be one of the iconic scenes. For the future the voice the camera work is fantastic

Lotta those shots were filmed on Jekyll island at Indian mounds course. Such a beautiful place. The beach battle scenes and several others in the movie Glory were filmed there also.

They should make a part two of this with Bagger Vance teaching Chris Rock how to box.

You better listen to Will Smith or he will slap that pretty boy smile to another dimension 😂

Bruce McGill as Walter Hagan here, was spot on in this movie. What a great actor.

Great cinematography and film making along similar lines of "The Natural". Stories within stories with an ability to make dreams feel real.

Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne!

i picked up a golf club today, first time in 8 years and wow i need alot of practice

Powerful scene!

This is 1 of the best golf films of alll time

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to this movie such a great film

I got to give to the Irish and the Scottish for coming with a game that takes a beast and and tame s the very instinct that drives a man or women to focus and become one with the ball it's so peaceful and calming

FANTASTIC ENDING FILM

On of my favs

this movie has a couple under tones in the story, thats what i like about it

I need Bagger Vance this weekend to break 100 💯

Will Smith honestly dominates every single fucking role he plays. Damn

Will Smith did such an amazing job in this movie.

Damn what a good movie!

Any minute now a one eyed alligators going to pop out

Describing "the zone" in wonderful words.

used to LOVE this shit. such an underrated movie. plus Charleze Theron just looks so goddamn hot in 20's gear. always loved how it incorporated real golfers into the movie and gave us a glimpse at some of the men who made golf great.

I've never seen or heard of this movie til 2022 or 2023. I'm a fan of Will Smith.

how have I not known about this movie,.,

Home in one ⛳ Will collects the club like hrs picking up a plate from a table & going off to wash it ...casual flow

This move describes my course to a T! This is everything I have taught! It's about Finding yourself, finding the Harmony with the world, with nature... It's about becoming one with all that is... You can find it in Golf, you can find it in Romance, you can find it in any endeavor you put your heart and soul into! It's There...

Those of us who have endeared to this form of understanding have never been able to except help with our head let alone our hands.So it's not to surprising that spiritually were blessed beyond measure,the problem is humility and grace.They baffle the shit out of us in God's world.Along with him.

watch this scene before every round!

Completely underrated movie

Become one with force.

Great movie - WATCH it now

I tried this and I'm still looking for my ball😕
