\nGlove n. 3<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Legend of Bagger Vance<\/em> is a movie I often rewatch on TV. It\u2019s the story of a young talented of golf, interpreted by Matt Damon, who, in the early 20th century America is recruited for World War I. On his return, he\u2019s devasted, the conflict is too painful to be back on the golf course as if it didn\u2019t happen. That\u2019s why he starts to drink and lose control: when he thinks he has reached the bottom, life gives him a chance to play, to love again, to meet a caddy \u2013 Bagger Vance, aka Will Smith \u2013 whose role is to remind him why life and sport both make us face several challenges.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn one of the main scenes of the film, Bagger Vance explains to Matt Damon (I can never remember the main character\u2019s name, sorry), move by move, his competitor\u2019s strike, with a monologue in which athletic performance and metaphors blur. Thanks to the numerous TV rewatches, I almost know it by heart, it goes like this: \n<\/p>\n

\u2018The golf player always seems to be searching for something. Then he finds it. He finds a connection with himself. He finds concentration. He can choose among several strikes, but there is only one strike that is perfectly harmonious with the course. A strike that perfectly suits him. An authentic one. And he\u2019s going to choose that. There\u2019s a perfect strike trying to reach all of us. We only have to leave its trajectory free. Leave it free to choose us\u2019. <\/p>\n

\nA perfect strike towards us: what\u2019s better than golf lessons to catch it? Here I am on the green course. Sequences of sharp, precise, measured strikes every week. My trainer says they\u2019re \u2018mirable drawings traced in the air\u2019, I think they suck. I improve day by day, the distance between me and the last hole is shorter, but I cannot see perfect strikes yet.
\nWhat if the secret was saying no to this wait, Bagger Vance? Giving up to the idea that the perfect strike may come, but in the meantime we can live. This thought comes to my mind in the blink of an eye, and years of anxieties and worries disappear all at once. The small golf ball goes through the sky, dividing it in two. \n<\/p>\n

\nIt\u2019s a warm winter, I sit down on the ground. Tonight I\u2019ll be home earlier, the perfect strike didn\u2019t pass to say hi. I could keep trying. Or maybe I could go back to my family. Surprise it. Give it more time. Find out that it\u2019s able to accept me despite my flaws.
\nToday I played without my glove on. Maybe I left it on my office desk, maybe I lost it on the way. No problem. The wind is blowing gently. As I go away with my sporty bag on my shoulder, Springtime is the call of someone who wishes to see you again.\t \n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
