With little experience and even fewer resources, JB convinces the boys to start their own high school golf team, starting them all on a journey where they learn that it takes more than just golf skills to make history.

00:10 Frank mentioned that you served together with Marines.
00:14 Infantry.
00:16 141st Regiment.
00:17 [GUNSHOTS]
00:20 I know you hear this all the time,
00:22 but thank you for your service.
00:24 Well, I don't hear that all the time,
00:25 but I was proud to serve my country.
00:28 I don't want to be a member of just any club.
00:30 I want to play here.
00:31 I got to consider our other members,
00:33 and they are just not used to seeing
00:34 a Mexican on the golf course.
00:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:37 I work in a bakery shop.
00:40 Fetch, ball boy.
00:41 It's not even a tough shot, Felipe.
00:43 Oh, yeah?
00:44 Cordy says you can't do better.
00:45 How about that?
00:47 Joe, Joe, Joe.
00:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:50 Where'd you learn to hit like that?
00:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:56 How would you boys like to be the first members of the San
00:58 Felipe High School golf team?
01:00 Us.
01:02 They asked me to join the new golf team today.
01:04 Golf?
01:04 I'm going to bring your sombrero anyway, man.
01:06 Whenever you're invited to a gringo party,
01:08 you're either the entertainment or the help.
01:10 Let me ask you something.
01:11 Are they any good?
01:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:14 Nope.
01:15 But I don't want to be a babysitter
01:17 to a bunch of juvenile delinquents who just
01:19 want to get out of detention.
01:20 [GUNSHOT]
01:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:24 Us.
01:26 We're the best.
01:30 You boys built all this?
01:33 Yes, Mr. Mitchell.
01:35 Sorry, boys.
01:36 When we spoke on the phone, I assumed you were American.
01:38 Well, you assumed right.
01:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:40 Say hello.
01:41 [GUNSHOT]
01:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 Hello.
01:47 Now, these teams, they've had access to a lot of things
01:50 you boys haven't.
01:50 But the best golfer isn't the one with the fanciest clubs.
01:53 It's the one who can summon the will to keep swinging
01:56 when things get tough.
01:57 And that's you boys.
01:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:08 People need to see us as more than just caddies
02:10 in cannon fodder.
02:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:20 You know, that's just life.
02:22 Sometimes you land on the green.
02:24 Sometimes you're in the bunker.
02:26 But you always play it as it lies.
