The Legend of Bagger Vance

Set in 1930s Savannah, Georgia, this is the story of Rannulph Junuh, a gifted golfer whose career and spirit are shattered by the trauma of war. Once the pride of his town and a local hero, Junuh returns home a different man: distant, haunted, and unwilling to pick up a golf club again.

When Savannah announces a high-profile exhibition match between two of the world’s top golfers, Junuh’s former love, Adele Invergordon, suggests he compete. With the town’s pride and her late father’s honour at stake, Junuh reluctantly agrees, but he’s clearly not the man he used to be.

Then, in the quiet of the night, a mysterious man named Bagger Vance appears. Calm, wise, and full of quiet strength, Bagger offers to be Junuh’s caddie. But he brings far more than clubs and advice, he offers a way back to the soul Junuh lost.

As the game unfolds across scenic fairways and under southern skies, Bagger teaches Junuh about rhythm, focus, and finding “the authentic swing”, a deeper truth not just about golf, but about life, purpose, and inner peace.

Young Hardy, a boy from the town who idolises Junuh, watches every moment, showing how courage can inspire the next generation.
