Birdie Buddy
If you undent my ceiling... I'll straighten up Miss Steamed Bun's back.
I hear he's a total player.
He was supposedly like that in both the US and in Europe.
If he ends up coaching anyone that's half decent looking they end up living together.
Episode 6
Anyone home?
Did you change your hairstyle again because you don't like people recognizing you?
Hello, I'm Park Eun Joo, reporter for Sports Korea.
- Did the picture come out nicely? - Excuse me?
I wasn't trying to get a story I just took it you know...
I'm real photogenic.
But it seems your camera isn't too good.
I had a real hard time finding this place!
This reminds me of an article I read about you.
You said you started golf because it would be easier to find your parents if you were famous, right?
After winning the PGA you found your parents...
But they had already passed away.
You learned to play golf from a French man named Fabian, right?
His Korean name is Yoon Gwang Baek.
I hear he used the character "baek," meaning bright, in his name because he shines a bright white.
- And your name is... - Park Eun Joo!
Today I'm going to let it go that you're trespassing.
I understand. Please keep your eyes open.
Compared to your swing the head weight is a bit light.
Which is why things are leaning right.
Let's adjust the head weight and try again.
Alright.
The balance on all my clubs feels so unified.
That damn professional teaching certificate...
Can't even take a day off!
It's not like I'm getting any better!
Seriously, Chief.
I wanted to watch a movie seeing it was my day off, but what the hell is this?!
Oh my, oh my, oh my!
That's John Lee, isn't it?!
And next to him is Min Hae Ryung?
He's not bad looking now that he cut his hair!
He really is good looking.
At least that face of his is really legendary.
Oh my, oh my, hello, hello!
We also had a day off today.
We're practicing!
Don't worry about us and just keep doing what you're doing!
Yes, continue...
He's so good looking...
Give it a hit.
Make sure your eyes are always on the ball.
Good. And then slowly...
Always keep your back straight...
Your spine down...
You're here, Caddy Sung Mi Soo!
Mi Soo!
She's a new caddy that just joined.
Hey! Sung Mi Soo!
Where are you going?
To Pro Wang.
- Hey. - Huh?
Watch out for that pervert.
What the hell is up with you? You're a caddy?!
What does that have anything to do with you?
Did you quit golf?
That has nothing to do with you either. Let go.
You!
You've got no time to be doing this.
I'm not doing it because I want to.
So let go.
If you don't want to do it then quit.
I'll help you.
Are you my coach?!
I'm thinking about trying it out.
From now on.
I have no intention of hiring a coach like you.
That's just like Sung Mi Soo!
They're just flying right out!
Nice!
Nice! Great!
The finish is good and the direction is good too!
300 yards will be a breeze.
I've coached you this far and yet you have absolutely no luck!
If it was pure talent based then you should already be at the LPGAs.
Even if I want to see a bit of fortune because of you--
A coach shouldn't want to live off their player.
Me?
Coaches that try to live off their players are the ones that are the most incompetent and pitiful.
Is that supposed to be aimed at me?!
So what the hell if you're John Lee?!
Do you know how long I've been playing?!
I'm beyond your senior, you fool!
The 2nd most incompetent coach is the one that tries to use his seniority when he's in a jam.
You jerk off!
And the 3rd most incompetent coaches are the ones that are all show and have no courage.
A true coach must comprehend everything that is going on with the player.
If your player's body is injured...
Or if their heart is injured.
And comforting that pain...
Is what a true coach and teacher is.
Think carefully about who your coach is that can sense all your pain.
Hey jerk, where are you going!
Where the hell are you running away to after being all cool and crap!
Are you my coach?!
I'm thinking about trying it out.
From now on.
John Lee
Rag hair
Steamed Bun
Your student has come back after 10 plus years...
Isn't this beyond cruel?
What do you expect for a fool that betrayed me and ran away to the States?
Which is why I'm here to apologize.
Yes, I'm so touched.
Hey, Teach.
I found a family that are real loggers like you!
She's a kid that can truly absorb all your techniques.
Pil Soo gave up golf in the middle of it...
And I ended up like this.
You need at least one good student, don't you think?
She'll be able to perfect your Fabian Shot.
I shouldn't have taught you.
So this time...
Teach her properly.
I don't want to mold another idiot.
Don't come again. I don't want to see your face.
Next time I come I promise I'll bring her with me, Teach!
- Enjoy! - Thank you!
Ouch!
Oh my, oh my! Master!
Our Master!
Oh my, oh my, to the front, to the front!
- Please take mine! - I'm in no rush.
Enjoy!
Thanks.
- Enjoy! - Thank you.
Oh my gosh! Jung Ran!
Kyung Sook!
Oh my goodness, it's so good seeing you!
Seriously!
Goodness, goodness!
We were in the same place and yet so oblivious!
But, didn't you retire as a caddy?!
Sae Hwa asked me to return in order to retrain her caddies.
So I arrived 2 weeks ago.
Who is Sae Hwa?
President Min Sae Hwa.
You know our President?
Sae Hwa's father used to be a caddy.
Oh I see.
It seems like yesterday I was a caddy with you but look at us now!
You were my teacher.
You said your daughter plays golf, right?
Yeah.
Remember the 8 iron you gave me?
When you said you were quitting being a caddy in order to get married...
I gave that to you in order to put up on the table at your first child's first birthday.
We weren't able to hold a big celebration.
Anyway, it's because of that 8 iron that my daughter started golf!
She says it's like a lifeline to her or something.
Anyway, she still carries around that worn out iron.
- We're back! - Thank you for your hard work!
- We're back! - Good job.
Mom...
Explain what's going on.
I'm going to train and be a caddy.
How in the world are you going to train while being a caddy?!
Why not?
It's a lot different from when you used to be one.
These days we can use the field freely and--
Do you think I've worked this hard so you could become a caddy?!
Do you think your father boarded a fishing boat in the middle of nowhere so you could become a caddy?!
Give it up.
If you don't think you can keep playing golf then just give it up!
I won't give up.
I'm not going to give up!
Because I didn't think I could give it up...
I'm wearing these clothes so I don't give up!
Either you take those clothes off...
Or you give up golf!
Make a choice!
I can't give up on golf.
And I'm going to be a caddy too.
I can do it! I'm already doing it!
So leave me alone! Just leave me alone!
Are you my coach, Mom?!
For God's sake stop telling me what to do about golf!
Take that Sung Mi Soo!
Are you alright?
It's refreshing.
I was going to cry...
Something happened, didn't it?!
Mom found out.
That I'm a caddy.
What did she say?!
It's obvious!
What did I tell you?!
From the start I told you it was a bad idea!
What am I going to do? I'm totally going to be hated by my Mother now!
Because I didn't stop you and I didn't tell Mother either.
What's this?
There's no way I can look at you any longer.
Leave.
Mom.
You said I was heavy right?
I'll let you go so fly away.
You're as light as a feather so go ahead an fly away wherever you want.
From now on I won't act like your coach.
So go ahead and do whatever you want.
But know this.
As a parent that has nothing...
I felt so sorry that I couldn't get you a proper coach...
What I did for you...
Just go.
Even if you see me at the resort, just act like we're strangers.
Mi Soo!
What's going on?
And what is all this?!
Your mom found out, didn't she?
Even so, you shouldn't be like this.
Will you just be quiet?
I can't, Mi Soo.
Even Tae Gab is doing his all trying to support you!
Leaving like this is backstabbing your family!
You can't just pack up and leave just because you fought with your mom!
What's wrong with you, this isn't like you.
I didn't pack up and leave. I was kicked out.
Kicked out?
Will you just give me a ride to the caddy dorms?
Why in the world is it my room?
I heard that the lady that works in the cafeteria is your mother.
I thought your eyes looked alike.
You even brought your caddy bag?!
You don't have too much clothes, right?
Since your house is close, switch out your clothes here and there.
Or keep washing them.
Seeing that I'm not just a regular caddy like you...
But a Chief Caddy so I have a lot of stuff.
Originally I'm supposed to be using this room alone!
Hey, will you turn off the lights?
Do you think I've worked this hard so you could become a caddy?!
Do you think your father boarded a fishing boat in the middle of nowhere so you could become a caddy?!
Did you quit golf?
You've got no time to be doing this.
I'm not doing it because I want to.
So let go.
If you don't want to then quit.
I'll help you.
My Mi Soo is the type to really do it once she decides to.
I've invested 10 years into her...
I'm scared it'll all end for her before it even begins.
When she finds out she's taken the wrong path...
She'll return.
What if it's too late by then?
I'm so scared something will go wrong...
Believe in her instead of just worrying.
I'll watch over her for you.
I'm trusting you.
Help her.
Hey, pull up your zipper!
Good luck.
Hey Caddy Sung?
What's the point of bringing a driver today?!
It's my day off today. I'm going to practice a little.
Have you heard the saying, "stick to knitting?"
It's a technical job.
Do you think your skills will get better just because you practice on your days off?
Don't get in trouble with the Master Caddy.
Get your head on straight!
Just look at that old lady.
She just looks like she nags a lot!
Her face just screams "strict!"
What am I going to do?! It's the Caddy Master.
She didn't hear, right?!
I think you should hurry and answer.
Yes, Master!
Yes!
Caddy Sung Mi Soo?
Yes!
Yes, got it!
What?
Now she's asking me to do all kinds of things!
Why must we clean the training center?!
Training center? Clean it?
She wants us to take turns doing it!
On paper we're supposed to be cleaning...
But she said there's things for us to learn or something.
This is beginning to be a real pain...
But why me?
She said you're free in the afternoon so you start first.
But I have to practice!
Are you talking back to me?
I'm just the messenger.
Have fun.
Want to try?
Try it out.
It'll analyze your swing too.
Your swing balance gives way, which is why the ball isn't hitting the sweet spot.
Your hits should at least be around the same area.
It'll be hard to fit the right gear.
Did you...
Give up golf?
Don't think of it so easily.
Do you really think you can become my rival while doing this and that?
I never thought of it as easy.
I never thought of myself as your rival either.
Your choice of words... This and that?
It bothers me.
I too want to focus on training only instead of being a caddy!
But unlike you, I don't have money.
The wins you bought with money...
I'm envious.
Hae Ryung.
I hope you would help her. Just do it for the sake of her mother.
If you provoke her...
It will definitely move her.
I'm begging you.
Mrs. Ahn!
Oh, Tae Gab you're here!
My mom asked me to give this to you.
Thanks.
Here.
What are you doing!
You know very well I'll get in trouble with my mom if I accept this!
Just take it! It's not much!
It's fine!
You're always feeding me.
Then again, how is your mom feeling?
Why?
She's probably real upset seeing how stubborn your sister is being.
Mi Soo?
The whole family is suffering...
She should just focus on playing golf.
How much is she going to make being a caddy?
Goodness.
Alright, go on ahead.
Yes.
Sung Mi Soo!
Hey Sung Mi Soo, come out!
Hey, where's Sung Mi Soo!
Hey Sung Mi Soo!
Get the hell out here right now!
I'm going to pull out all this grass so hurry and get out here!
Hey! Where is Sung Mi Soo!
Hey!
What's going on?!
Did you tempt her?! Telling Sung Mi Soo to become a caddy?!
- That's not it... - Who are you?!
- This person! - Forget it!
Hurry and bring out Sung Mi Soo.
Hey Sung Mi Soo!
- Hey Sung Mi Soo where are you?! - This person is totally out of his mind!
This person!
Sung Mi Soo where are you?!
Hey Sung Tae Gab!
He's so powerful.
Oh my, who is he?
He's mine!
Then what about Sung Mi Soo?!
Oh my are you guys fighting over a guy?!
A love triangle is so boring!
What are you talking about? He's Mi Soo's younger brother!
Did you just yell at me?!
Hey!!
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?!
I'm earning money while practicing golf.
It's nice.
Don't you see how upset Mom is?
With some time she'll be alright.
So stay by her side and--
The time you spend here being a caddy...
Do you think all that time is yours?!
Is that why you're doing as you please?!
What?
I think you've misunderstood!
The quicker you become pro is the day our family is finally able to breathe!
The whole family is look forward to just that day and we're waiting.
-But instead you're here doing this crap? -Don't look down on caddies!
Do you think this is about me looking down on caddies?!
Why don't you stop looking down on your family!
No it's fine if you look down on me.
But our mom and dad...
Don't do that to them.
Think about it nice and long, Sung Mi Soo.
About what you should be doing right now.
I'm leaving.
I don't know if Tae Gab is mad at me as well.
Why would he?
He got all mad at me earlier asking if I tempted you.
Tae Gab is deeper than he looks so he knows.
He knows I was being stubborn.
Sung Mi Soo!
The Caddy Master states...
To Caddy Sung Mi Soo.
Search high and low on the green...
And find all the lost balls and bring them back.
You understand right?
Just Mi Soo? Why?!
Why else?
I understand.
I'll find the lost balls.
It's especially spacious today...
You found quite a lot.
There were a lot more than I thought.
Isn't that look too happy for someone that just got punished?
Then the person doing the punishing get annoyed.
Master.
What do you use all these balls for?
Normally we donate them to a special needs school.
And people that need them take them too.
I heard that your mom trained you by taking home lost balls.
Yes.
We find lost balls like this...
But lost dreams...
What are we to do in order to find those?
You're lucky you're young.
Finish up before you go in.
- Let's go. - Yes.
I made my mom suffer...
Forced my dad to board a boat far away...
I really hate it.
I seriously hate it.
What's heavy?
You hanging onto me...
You're too heavy, Mom.
Mom.
Why aren't you sleeping?
What are you doing out here?
It's past 12.
I should sleep.
Let's go to sleep.
Mom, do you know how to play golf?!
- You do, don't you?! - Of course!
Teach me golf!
Teach me too!
With your right hand you want to grab onto your left hand as if you're protecting it.
Alright, really lightly.
Lastly you just want to slightly cover it with your pinky.
Next thing is to hit it...
No, no no. Not like that.
Watch.
You want to move your shoulders while your arms are stretched straight out.
And then let it down lightly and hit it just like that.
No one is trying to start trouble because you're a caddy, right?
No one is like that these days.
Even if there are coaches that hit on their players.
Who?!
Pro Wang?!
Oh no way, Mom!
Go easy.
18 holes during a match...
Is totally different from 18 holes with 4 customers.
And your training?
Anytime I have time.
Mom.
You kicked me out on purpose so I could train a lot while staying in the dorms, right?
What?
Your swing isn't too good these days, right?
And you're on edge?
Thankfully it doesn't seem you're injured any where.
How would you know, Mom.
Why wouldn't I know?
Just looking at you, I know what part of your body and heart is hurting.
And this...
A record all your trainings.
It's been so long since you last wrote in it.
Here.
And use this to practice putting in your dorms.
Eat.
May 18, 2003.
Once again Mi Soo showed signs of struggle with putting.
Her direction and swing was much shakier than it usually is.
Of course there is a lie that can't be seen as easily compared to other greens...
But Mi Soo's stroke was much shakier than it usually is.
What kind of practice will be best?
May 19, 2003
Today I'll make Mi Soo's putting training equipment.
I hope it's useful and helps Mi Soo's putting technique.
Let's make it first.
There will be trial and error but I need to give it a try.
I'm sure I can do well.
May 21, 2003
I finally made the putting trainer in 3 days.
How am I so good at everything?
This will definitely be a lot of help to Mi Soo.
Mi Soo, fighting!
A true coach must comprehend everything that is going on with the player.
What the condition of their body is...
If your player's body is injured...
Or if their heart is injured...
And comforting that pain...
Is a true coach and teacher.
Think carefully about who your coach is that can sense all your pain.
Hey.
I'm sorry I acted that way at the training center yesterday.
Was I interrupting you?
Please continue putting.
It's fine.
I was just about to stop.
It's late, but you must not be off of work yet?
Do you practice putting every night like this?
I just couldn't sleep.
At what age did you start playing golf?
When I was 4.
Wow... 4...
Who taught you?
There were so many...
I don't think I can name just one.
I think I met about every coach that was famous.
It was like that in the States... And it's still like that.
It seems like I bought my success with money, doesn't it?
She holds grudges.
Mom! Tae Gab! Mi Soo is here!
