In the movie Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius, there's a scene in which the U. S. Open champion Walter Hagan plays against the younger Bobby Jones. Although he has an erratic swing and seems error prone, Hagan runs away with the match. Afterwards, he confides in Jones: "I don't always hit the ball straight, but you know what I've learned? Three bad shots and one good one still make par. Golf is a game of recovery."
