Any golf fans see the movie "The Legend of Bagger Vance"? In addition to being a caddy, what else was he?

Will Smith played the part of Bagger Vance.  Also in the movie were Matt Damon, Charlize Theron and at the very end Jack Lemmon. Though Lemmon narrated the movie you only saw him at the very end.

    I saw the movie. It is one of my favorite sports movies. I don't remember what else Smith was in the movie though.

    Remember the little boy who helped Bagger Vance caddy? He was the narrator and it was Jack Lemmon whom we see at the very end of the movie on a golf course with his golf cart. In the distance you see Bagger Vance. Now Bagger would have been dead UNLESS he was an angel maybe? How else could he have lived so many years without aging while Jack Lemmon goes from a little boy to an old  man? I LOVED that movie and had seen it before but also saw it again just the day before the Master's at Augusta when Sergio Garcia WON the Green Jacket. That movie was going through my mind as a backdrop to what I was seeing on the screen! Glad you saw it Ele.  It's one of my very favorite movies as well! Thank you for your reply! :)

    Bagger Vance was the typical "magic negro" that shows up in films and books.

     Sorry, I know you both love the movie.  I don't want to ruin anyone's day but I thought it was typical hypocritical Hollywood garbage.
