All right.

Carl Collins, one putt away from winning the Valero Texas Open,

has played inspired golf so far.

His wife, Jenny, his two young boys looking on.

So it all comes down to this.

Long time caddy Phil behind him, at his side as always.

He came in six strokes behind, tied for tenth,

has fought tooth and nail, and is now in position to win...

...the Valero Texas Open with this putt,

which is no gimme. And he's got it lined up.

And it looks good, boy does it look good.

Get in the hole! Come on! Yeah!

And he did it!

Carl Collins is your Valero Texas Open Champion.

Congratulations.

What a fun ride home. Soak it up, big man, soak it up.

Carl, that was amazing. Tell me,

what was going through your mind when you sank that putt?

Great moment for us.

We're really excited, uh, yeah, we're going to celebrate.

Very good, so what's next for you guys?

Well, we're going to take a little bit of a break and,

uh, hang out with boys, swing the golf clubs,

get them out on the course, uh, Taylor and Tucker.

Uh, they're on their way to...

...putting together a little golf game so,

uh, yeah, we're just going to rest...

...and then I'll be back at it and uh,

yeah, back in some tournaments...

...and we'll see if we can do it again.

Okay, well thank you very much.

Same position right there, buddy. Now it's right on.

Yeah, nice follow through, Tuck. Great shot.

-Good shot. Within eight feet. -All right.

You've done this a million times, a little right to left.

-That's your bread and butter. -Head down.

Head down, pendulum. Keep focused, keep focused.

Lipped out. It's all right, it's all right.

No, no, no, no, don't go behind there!

It's swarming with... And you're dead.

Hold on, I'm coming to revive you.

Again.

One second! No, not you, Fishface004.

You're late for your lesson.

Yeah, see I was thinking about that and decided that...

...I'm so good at putting that I can afford to skip today.

Also where'd you find my lucky ball?

I've needed that this game.

Ball was in the kitchen. Need I remind you that...

...you five-putted a par 3 just two days ago?

You're going to go.

Unless of course you just don't want to make the team.

Fine. Do what you want to do.

Nothing motivates like disappointment.

No, Fishface, I'm not talking to you.

Yeah, tough break, kid.

Just keep hitting those practice greens until Shreveport.

You know how crazy it gets out there.

Yes sir, I hope I can be there. It was good playing with you.

You too.

Good effort, good effort.

Try hooking your pointer finger...

...and your pinky on the underside of the grip.

Keeps it stronger, you won't slice as hard.

And relax your shoulders.

Whew, thanks man.

No. No, no, no!

Hey. Hey, you. Game Boy.

What's your name, son?

Taylor Collins, sir.

Collins, right.

The legacy.

Let me ask you an honest question, Collins.

Do you even want to make this team?

Make Pops proud?

Because it's not just going to be handed to you.

You're not entitled here.

So unless you can prove to me that you can hit...

...eight out of ten drives without hooking or slicing,

you might just have to go home and tell daddy...

...that you're going to be joining the A/V club this year.

Thought it was six out of ten, sir.

Well, for you... I changed it.

Okay.

Oh.

So you remember how your dad told you...

...to keep your head down since you could breathe?

Listen.

Are you sure your last name is Collins?

I overcorrected.

You think?

You think you can focus long enough...

...to hit eight straight ones?

Yes, sir.

So close.

All right, guys, get back to work.

You could've just said "Better luck next year," or something.

Sir.

This isn't the son we raised. He's lazy.

He's not motivated to succeed in anything at all.

Honestly, it's making me crazy.

Yes, I know. I didn't make the golf team,

our family legacy is dead and I'll never get...

...another Christmas present ever again.

You did not make the golf team?

Seriously? Dad didn't tell you?

Of course he told me.

He called me like five times on my way home.

Wait, you're in town? Why don't you come over?

Dude, I'm only here for like a day.

I had to get a whole bunch of green practice in and...

Well you do need practice.

You have the worst case of the yips...

...for someone nicknamed "The Green Whisperer."

Boy do I regret giving myself that nickname.

I can't even tell you how badly it's backfired.

Wait, you came up with that?

I may have paid off Jim Nantz one time...

...to use it in a broadcast.

-Wow. -Maybe twice.

And yes, before you ask, it was for a girl.

Okay. So did you call me for a reason or what?

Kind of just to make sure that Dad had not murdered you yet.

It's a bad break brother but there's always next year, right?

Yeah... I don't know.

I mean, I'm kind of glad in a way.

There's too many golfers in this family already.

I would not say that around Dad. Um...

But you go and do your homework or something man,

I got to let you go.

Yeah, and you don't try to eat your loss away.

I am all Paleo, man.

Night, Green Whisperer.

Night, Weasel.

Hey, Dad, look.

I know I disappointed you today or whatever but...

Disappointed me? That's an understatement.

You are wasting your God-given ability on video games...

...and your phone, which is mine for a week by the way.

What? Why don't you water board me while you're at it?

Taylor, be respectful.

Did you even try?

Look, I know that you're good enough.

You've got more talent than any kid out there.

I mean, I tried.

Stupid new coach raised the mandatory...

...straight ball minimum from six to eight just for me.

Okay, I hit seven, that's pretty good.

We did not raise you to be pretty good.

We raised you to be the best.

Where are you going?

Dog needs food.

Call Tuck.

Sup, Pops?

Oh, not much.

I'm out driving around trying to calm down...

...before I murder your brother.

Yeah, that might overshadow his epic fail

I just want to see him reach his potential...

...but all he wants to do is sit around on his butt...

...and kill zombies, werewolves, whatever,

I don't know what he does.

I don't know, maybe he's just...

...not into the whole...

..."Collins family golf legacy" thing.

I don't understand that, he used to love golf.

I mean, I... I don't get it.

I don't think it's about the game.

I think he's just...

He doesn't like all the expectations...

...hanging over him from me,

from you, from pretty much everyone we know.

I don't put that much pressure on him

Dad, come on. You got us club memberships...

...when we should've gotten our first bikes.

Ah, you're right, you're right.

Maybe just, I don't know, ease up a little bit.

Keep getting him out on the course...

Taylor!

Mom, I finished my homework!

We have to go.

Tucker just called, your dad's been in an accident.

Get your shoes on!

What?

Excuse me? My husband was just brought in.

Carl Collins.

You can have a seat and Dr. Maxwell...

...will be with you shortly.

He's in surgery with your husband now.

Thank you.

Do you have any idea how he's doing?

No ma'am, I'm sorry.

It's going to be fine.

Everything's going to be fine, honey.

This is because of me.

I should've just made the stupid team.

Taylor, stop. This isn't your fault.

Mrs. Collins?

Yes. How is he?

He's critical. We'll be conducting an MRI...

...once he stabilizes to determine the severity

-What happened? -There was a two car collision.

Apparently the other driver was texting and...

And the other driver?

Also critical, I'm not at liberty to say anything else.

When can we see him?

He's still in surgery right now.

Mrs. Collins, your husband...

...and your father's...

...trauma is a life threatening brain injury.

He's on a breathing tube now but his vital signs...

...are on par with a non-medically induced coma.

I'm so sorry.

I'll keep you updated as we go.

Thank you.

Mom, little brother, you guys all right?

Um, Tucker, would you mind taking Taylor home?

We're not going to be able to see Dad anytime soon and...

...he needs to get his sleep.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Uh...

Just call me when we can see him

-I will. -Okay. Let's go, man.

I love you.

Whoa.

You all right?

He's going to be fine.

Hey, he's going to be all right.

Just...

...tell him you triple-bogied a par three, he'll...

...Hulk-rage right out of that coma.

Stop joking.

It's not going to make me feel any better.

If I'd just been respectful and not a selfish jerk,

-Dad wouldn't have gone... -Hey, that girl...

...still would've been texting and driving man!

That's not on you.

But she wouldn't have hit dad!

Dad's going to wake up. He's strong.

Strongest guy we know, right? Right?

Yeah.

Something great's going to come out of this.

I don't know what it is,

I don't know when it's going to happen.

But every valley has its peak, you know?

Okay, Mom.

Shut up, man. I'm trying to be comforting.

I suck at this. I don't know.

Come on, let's watch Netflix, get a new show.

No, I'm just going to go to bed.

All right.

Well, let me know if you need anything.

Night.

Night.

Hey!

You're Taylor Collins, right?

Uh, yes. Yeah, I'm Taylor Collins.

Hey, I'm Bailey Miller.

Nice to meet you.

Sorry.

Are you eating lunch by yourself?

Uh, no, I'm eating with her.

So, what is that?

Like your lucky ball or something?

Oh, um, yeah. Random, I know.

I have a lucky koala bear I keep in my backpack...

...but I never take it out.

Yeah, I never play with this.

Sounds like we're both pretty weird.

So, how are you?

I heard about your dad's accident.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, uh, thank you.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that...

...I've been praying for you and praying for your family...

...and we even prayed for you at FCA this morning.

You know FCA?

Yeah, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

-Yeah! -My mom mentions it...

...literally every week.

Well, you should listen to her and come hang out with us.

It's a good group.

Yeah, I'm not an athlete though.

Not what I've heard, but it doesn't even matter.

You don't have to be one.

Come on, Bailey! You're cheating!

Hold on, I'm coming!

Cheaters never win.

Except in baseball.

Don't worry, I won't tell FCA.

Thanks, I appreciate that. See you around. Cool?

Uh, yeah, cool.

Hey, thanks for praying or whatever.

Yeah, no problem.

Hey, bro.

I thought he was awake.

Why is Pastor Shelton here? Is he not awake?

No, he's not.

Pastor Shelton is here for extra support.

There's a ton of prayers going up for your dad, Taylor.

Okay, I'm going to go and let you all visit as a family.

Call me, keep me updated. Okay, Jenny?

I will.

You all need to be strong. Your dad needs you now.

I know you can hear me.

We're here.

We're all here.

Taylor, stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

I can't look at him.

Calm down, man. This is not your fault.

Yes, it is!

Come here.

It's not fair.

He shouldn't be on life support because I...

I know it's not fair, man. I know it's not fair.

It's the furthest thing from fair but freaking out...

It's not going to change it.

How are you so calm? What...

Do you even care what's happening?

Do I... That is my dad! That is my...

That is my hero. Of course, I care.

Come on.

Just so you know, I'm a huge fan of your husband.

I grew up watching him play.

Thank you.

You guys go home and get some rest

Oh, no, no. I'm going to stay here.

No, you haven't slept in like 48 hours.

Go get sleep, I'll stay.

-You sure? -Yeah.

Hey, Pops.

I don't know if you can hear me.

I've heard coma patients can sometimes...

...hear everything that's going on around them.

I think it was on 60 Minutes, so it's got to be true.

Can I confess something to you that I've wanted to forever?

Um, remember that driver...

...that you got me sophomore year of high school?

It was like a Callaway, and it broke,

and I told you I did it at the driving range...

...because I'm so strong.

Well, it actually broke when I was using it...

...as a microphone stand in my room...

...to jam to Backstreet Boys by myself.

That feels pretty good to get off my chest.

Hi, um... Do you need to...

-No, everything's fine. -Oh, okay.

Just thought you might want a blanket...

...if you're taking the night shift.

Oh, thank you. That's... That's awesome, thanks.

-Appreciate that. -No problem. Bye, bye, bye.

That's NSYNC.

Just so you know,

your nurse is smoking hot.

You're up early. And practicing.

You don't practice, what... What's up?

I'm going to play on the school team.

I'm going to do it for Dad.

Could've sworn you botched your tryout.

Coach will give me another shot.

I mean, I'm better than everyone else who tried out...

...and most of the returning varsity team, so...

And so humble too.

Well, doesn't exactly seem fair, does it?

Nobody else who got cut gets another shot

Okay, but they got cut for a reason.

Okay. Well, how are you going to convince the new coach?

He doesn't exactly seem like a "second chances" type of guy.

Going to go to his office tomorrow.

Talk him up. Look, trust me, I got this.

Welp, have fun with that.

I'm going to go sleep in an actual bed because...

...I was in a chair all night and I was about ten seconds away...

...from crawling in bed with Dad, so...

-Boom. -That was luck.

Coach Wilson, please.

Look, kid, I know what's going on with your dad and I'm sorry...

...but, truthfully, you had a fair shot like everyone else.

I mean, it was't really fair.

Nobody else had to go eight for ten on straight drives

Okay, Collins.

You tell me why you deserve a second chance.

Because...

Because I'll actually take it seriously this time.

Well that's good to know.

Hopefully next year you'll take it seriously.

As for this year, keep your grades up.

And hit the weight room.

You look like my eleven year old niece.

-Oh! -Shoot, I am so sorry.

No, no, no, it's totally my fault.

I was looking down at my phone. Dumb.

Yeah, I was walking and texting.

If there's one person who should know better right now,

it's me.

Sorry, you can laugh at that.

How's your dad?

Uh... He's not doing great.

He's still on life support or whatever.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

And how are you?

Uh, yeah, I mean,

just tried to convince heartless Coach Wilson...

...to give me another tryout for the golf team...

...but he said it wouldn't be fair.

You shouldn't need second tryout, golf's in your blood.

Oh, yeah, I didn't exactly take it seriously the first time,

so...

You know, you should just do what I did to get on the track team.

Which is...

Well, after I moved here the team was already set...

...and coach said there wasn't any room so...

...I just showed up at practice every day for a week,

ended up being faster than all the other girls...

...and coach made a spot for me.

Oh. Yeah, did I mention that Coach Wilson hates me?

Not sure he'd want to squeeze me in,

no matter how much better than everyone else I am.

At least you're modest about it.

Apparently humility is one of my best qualities.

I don't know, just think about it, okay?

Also, FCA meeting next Tuesday, be there. Maybe?

Maybe. I'm super concentrated on making the golf team so...

-Maybe. -All right, bye, dude.

See you.

Okay. Not bad, man. Try to keep your arm like...

Try again.

Not a bad shot, boss. What are you hitting?

Just got a new set of Callaways myself,

-trying to break them in. -Nice, man.

I'm Taylor Collins, this is my brother Tucker.

Tucker Collins. Man, that's so dope.

People are saying I'm the new you.

I would aim higher than that but cool, man.

Conner Faulk, Varsity Captain. You on JV, little Collins?

Uh, not exactly.

Just out here to take tips from me or what?

Actually, hey, dude, that's... That's not a bad idea.

Do you think he could like shadow you?

You guys do back nine Wednesdays, right?

What?

Yeah, it's cool with me, man.

Dude, it's cool. You don't have to take me with you.

Nah, come on, kid.

I'll show you a thing or two about playing Varsity.

Now that was a pretty shot.

Well done, sir. Beautiful.

Yeah, good shot.

So look, this is a par four.

It's okay to use a three wood twice instead of...

...trying to cover all that ground like I did.

Strategy is everything, Taylor.

Or fine, whatever, kid. Don't listen to me.

Just don't be mad if you end up slicing it.

I'm a lot bigger and stronger than you are.

What kind of driver did you say that was?

TaylorMade.

Uh, hey dummy. What are you doing?

Why are you putting from the outer fringe?

Might as well just kick it.

Damn it.

Uh, do you really think a nine is going to get you there?

I'll get it there.

All right.

Yo, Game Boy.

Are you slow? Deaf?

Or just don't care about what I say?

I was just taking a few pointers from your Captain, sir.

He's not my Captain. We've only had one practice.

I had the best season on the team last year, sir.

Great. I just don't remember that.

I'll prove to you that I earned it, sir.

Hold on, your apprentice is up.

Let's see if you taught him anything.

Good shot.

That's how you earn your Captain's patch.

Coach, just so you know,

Game Boy is up by two strokes through the fourth.

Wow. If only we were only doing four holes.

Why are you here?

All right, all tied up. Par 3 to finish, boys.

Dang it! Freaking hand slipped. Come on!

It's all right man, you got a good approach.

Too long, too short.

Okay, gentlemen,

let's see whose short game needs work.

Okay, good.

Let him play through.

Perfect.

Good job.

Heck yeah, dude! That's what's up!

Okay, Game Boy. You got talent.

I'm going to put you in the JV lineup.

JV? He just beat the Varsity "Captain" or whatever he is.

Varsity's set.

Unless someone fails or quits, JV's all I got.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Don't bring him back.

You're a good caddy, it's all right. Okay.

Hey, Mom... Oh.

Hey.

Guess who weaseled his way onto the team!

Taylor, that's wonderful!

Thanks. Yeah, I wanted to tell Dad.

Come on.

Uh... Hey, Dad. I made the team like you wanted.

I'm on JV but I beat the best player on Varsity...

...so I think I can move up.

I'm going to win state.

Oh, wow. That's a lofty goal.

I can do it. Okay, I know I can.

Dad knows you can too.

He's going to be so proud of you when he wakes up, Taylor.

I'm going to do it. For him.

Well, my little golfers, we should head home.

Could pick up dinner on the way.

Tay, do you want wings to celebrate?

If I ever say no to wings put me up for adoption.

Goodnight, sweetheart. We'll see you tomorrow.

Pops.

Bye, Dad.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry!

No, no, no, my bad.

You got that nurse speed walk down though,

that's pretty good.

Yeah, uh, I'm working a double today.

I just caffeinated up for the second half.

The back nine, if you will.

Nice, yeah, the back nine.

Uh, you have a great back nine...

-Minka. -Minka,

nice to officially meet you.

I've just assumed your name was Nurse, so...

It is. Minka's my middle name.

Oh, cool.

See you guys next time.

Yes, sir. Fa sho!

-Fa sho! -Fa sho!

-No, no, nope. -Mom, what are you teaching him?

Don't put it on me.

You are the loudest chewer in history.

Wow.

I didn't know these were spicy.

My mouth is disintegrating.

That's not lemon pepper, that's my atomic.

I saw you take it but I thought it would be funny...

-Oh my... -And it's super funny.

I saw it too!

This is not nice! Oh, I'm crying.

Dominated.

Told you I could do twenty four.

One, that's not twenty four.

Two, you're going to poop fire for like three days...

...so have fun with that.

Oh, okay.

One, two, three, not it!

You are the worst.

This is the most pain I've been in since I gave birth to you.

Gross.

That was Ron and Emily Pitchford, they brought us some food.

Nice!

There's dessert by the door. One, two, three, not it.

Everyone's being so nice. It's kind of...

-...cool. -That's what it's about, son.

-Where's dessert? -There wasn't any.

Woman...

Hey.

Hey.

-Did you finish your... -Yes, ma'am.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

What if...

...he doesn't wake up?

Dad was hurt really, really bad.

He's not going to heal all at once tonight,

or tomorrow.

Healing takes time, patience,

and faith that you,

or whoever it is, is going to make it through.

You're going to talk to Dad again, Taylor.

Pray with me.

Hey there, non-athlete.

Oh, hey! I mean... Hey.

And actually I'm totally an athlete now.

No way.

Yeah, your weasel little plan worked!

See, don't doubt me! Varsity?

JV. But hopefully I'll get moved up soon.

Our first tournament's this weekend.

Yeah, I know. It's too bad you're not on Varsity,

I'll be there.

Why would you ruin a perfectly good Saturday...

...watching high school golf?

I'm kind of sort of talking to the Varsity Captain.

That guy?

So, is he like your boyfriend?

No! I mean, yes...

...but we're not like Facebook official or anything.

Oh, okay, that's confusing.

Do you know Conner?

Yeah, I beat him in my second tryout.

It's kind of how I made the team.

Wow, good for you. I bet he was pissed!

And probably really embarrassed to not tell me about it.

-My boo is looking sexy today. -Conner...

Come on, babe. I'm just kidding, you know how I get sometimes.

What's up, little Collins?

Conner, this is Taylor.

Apparently he beat you whenever...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know who him. What's up?

You uh, you just made the JV team, right?

Well, good luck on your little tournament next weekend, Chief.

Thanks, Deputy.

That's cute, but it's Captain to you.

That is so stupid.

And I'm not going that way, my class is this way.

Okay.

All right, have fun at practice, Captain.

Thanks, baby.

Ah-ha!

Okay, then.

Tater Tot! Good luck.

Not the place for maternal encouragement, Mother.

Hush.

You good, man?

You look like you're about to wet your pants.

I've never played in front of this many people before.

Dude, it's just a bunch of parents here out of obligation.

Do you think anyone wants to be at a JV golf tournament...

...on this beautiful Saturday morning?

Just play man, no one's even paying attention.

Perfect shot, Cal.

In his swing?

Does that count?

Unfortunately, yes, it does.

Everyone, stay quiet and silence your phones.

Nice putt, Cal.

Well, if they sink this they'll get second.

Okay.

There you go!

Way to finish, boys.

Good job, Cal. All right, let's peace.

Oh, no, we have to stay for Varsity.

Yeah, I want to follow Conner.

Ugh! The power tool? Come on, man,

I don't know how much more of that guy I can take.

That practice was just awful.

He's the worst.

Yes.

Well, I'm going to go. So you have fun!

-Thank you. -Proud of you.

-Why do I have to stay? -Bye, honey.

I love you.

-Bye, Mom. -Bye, Cal!

-Bye, Mrs. Collins. -Here, I'll give you a hug too

Cal, do you need to ask your m...

-Where's your mom? -I don't know.

Oh my God, there he is! I'm fangirling so hard right now!

Shh!

Is that why you brought me here?

Are you trying to run game? At a golf tournament?

Shut up and go over there, okay? You're in the way.

That your girl? You want me to go?

Collins! What are you doing here?

Nothing much. Supporting the team.

So, how'd you do this morning?

All right. We got second.

Bummer. You know I only hang out with winners.

Speaking of losers, here's my brother Tucker.

Hey, what's up? I'm Bailey.

Cool, cool, nice to meet you.

And, uh, yeah this kid is a punk but he's super right.

I am a loser,

I can't be seen with you two so I'm going to go...

...make sure Captain Toolbox doesn't cheat his way to the top.

Oh, by the way, that is her boyfriend.

Of course he is.

We're just talking.

That's so ambiguous. Just commit or don't, it's...

-Exactly. -You know, I just...

-I don't like labels. -Labels, have fun with that.

Uh, Cal, Loser Crew has been banished.

-Let's... -But I got swag, dude.

Sorry about him.

He's a giant kid who can't putt in the clutch.

Ooh, what a shot!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's Conner Faulk! Oh Captain, my Captain.

Tone it down, okay? Act your age.

Too much?

Too much.

Dude, I'm almost positive my ex blocked me on Snapchat.

Her freaking story's not showing up!

Dude, look at Harrison.

That sucks.

Right in the water. Got to take a drop.

Oh, you little cheater!

Act casual.

Look, act like we're taking a selfie.

Whoop, found it! Thank God!

Golf tournament.

Ah, yeah, three feet from going swimming!

Got him.

Yo, Conner, got a little something something for you, bro.

I don't need your tips, bro.

Oh, no, I know that.

You're the Captain, who am I to coach you?

No, uh, I have something that could lock up...

...this tourney for you.

If you just want to...

...take a look.

Act like we're taking a selfie.

-Found it! Thank God! -What the...

He should be disqualified, man. Just saying.

Dude, can you send me that?

Yeah, send it to yourself.

Thanks bro. Way to look out, big C.

Not a fan of that nickname, though.

Let's... Let's top that, yeah?

Yeah.

And uh... For the record, I saw him first.

Also, I believe I'm...

Yeah, yeah, thanks, kid.

Knock, knock.

Hey, Mrs. Collins.

You guys can come in, I'm just changing a bandage.

Having a good day?

We are.

Taylor had his first golf tournament.

He played well and the team finished second.

That's great, congrats.

And, more importantly,

he got an actual phone number from a real life human female.

Wow, way to go, Taylor.

Thanks.

He had a pretty good coach for that one.

Did he?

Mrs. Collins, Dr. Maxwell wanted to speak with you.

Um, I'll go page him, I'll be right back.

If you don't get her number today you're fired.

-Fired from what? -Being a man.

Stop. Tell Dad about your tournament.

Okay. I don't know,

it's still weird talking to him when he can't hear us.

He can hear you.

Hey, Dad.

We had our first tournament this morning.

We did okay.

We started off pretty crappy but we finished strong.

And, uh, I finished off my last three holes with a birdie.

But, more importantly, I got a girl's number.

She has a boyfriend, though, so...

I mean, they're just talking.

What does that mean?

It means nothing.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Mrs. Collins, may I speak with you outside?

Uh, just tell all of us. We're going to hear it anyways.

Mr. Collins' condition isn't progressing as we had hoped.

There's no real brain activity to speak of.

This is the point where we begin to advise the family...

...to start discussing options.

What does that mean, discuss options?

Decide whether you want to keep your father...

...on life support or not.

Uh, why wouldn't we?

Taylor.

I'm sorry, I know this isn't the news you wanted to hear...

...but you can take a few days as a family,

discuss it, and, uh, let us know where you stand.

But he... He can still wake up, right?

I mean, he's not like officially brain dead?

As long as your father's breathing he could still recover.

But just to be completely forthright,

at this stage the chances are slim.

I'm sorry.

Tucker, are you okay?

You know he can still pull through this, right?

Don't give up hope.

Doc did not sound too positive on that.

Oh, my God, this is insane.

If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.

Thanks.

This is stupid.

I mean, why are we even talking about this?

Obviously we're not pulling the plug.

Yeah, no way.

Minka told me he can still get better...

like we can't just give up.

I agree.

No part of me thinks we should...

Yeah, maybe I'll go to FCA this week...

...and ask them to pray or something.

Taylor, that's a great idea.

Yeah, man.

Man, I need a new putter.

This is my grandma's from like the sixties.

It's literally a chunk of metal on a stick.

Jeeze!

Dude, quit crying. What's wrong with you?

Coach wants to see you in his office.

Okay. Oh, I'm not crying.

I don't care.

Did anyone ever teach you how to knock?

Yes, now you enter. Jeeze, kid. Take a seat.

Look, today's your lucky day.

Harrison Duncan decided to disgrace this team by cheating.

Got himself caught on video tape.

That's not cool.

No. No, it's not cool. Can I finish now?

Yes, sir.

He has been dismissed from the team,

which means there's an empty spot.

Now, if you can play like you did the last...

...15 holes last weekend, that spot is yours.

Now the question is, can you do that?

Yes, sir, absolutely.

Good.

Start practicing with the big boys today.

Time to step it up, Collins.

Yes, sir. Thanks, Coach.

Don't thank me, thank your new Captain.

That's it, you can go to class now.

Yes, sir. Oh, it's lunch.

Get out my office.

Yes, sir.

You made it on Varsity, didn't you?

Yeah, man.

Hey, if you keep killing it on JV,

Coach Wilson will move you up too.

I just got lucky.

You're way better than me, you deserve it.

I just... I'll get it next year. Seriously, congrats.

And make sure you beat Captain Doucher in every tourney.

Yeah, actually it was Conner who turned in that dude Harrison...

...for cheating so I guess I owe him.

Maybe he does have a semi-honorable side.

I wouldn't take it that far. Anyways, laters.

I'm the best son ever...

-...for doing this with you. -Yes, you are. Whoa!

How much cologne did you put on, son?

Uh, I don't know, like three or four sprays?

Yikes.

I hope she likes dad's Drakkar Noir smell.

I hate you so much. I'm going to FCA with Bailey.

Oh, good!

She's going to be super impressed when...

...Mom drops you off and kisses you goodnight.

Yeah, well Bailey's picking me up...

...and don't you have a tournament to be losing?

Okay, she's here, I got to go. Wait, should I change first?

-Yes. -No, no, no. Give me that.

You don't want to keep her waiting.

Maybe you got lucky and she just ordered Chinese.

-Yeah, but what if I'm... -Go!

-Uh okay... But wait what if... -Love you, go!

No, no! Love you! Bye, honey.

Bye.

Well, welcome to your first FCA meeting.

As lame as you expected it to be?

I didn't expect it to be lame.

So, is there like a team leader or whatever?

Yeah! We have a couch at every meeting.

You should recognize him over there.

My mind just exploded.

Didn't expect that, did you?

It's like the end of Sixth Sense.

Sup, babe?

Hey.

I see you're babysitting over here.

Don't be a jerk.

I'm just kidding, babe. What's up, little Collins?

Hey, man.

Game Boy. Welcome to FCA.

Thank you, sir.

No need to call me sir.

This is my break from being the teddy bear...

...drill sergeant you've come to know and love.

Guess it's time to get started.

So... Putt putt huh?

I thought we were just chatting, this kind of feels like a date.

Oh, no, it's only a date if I pay for you.

This is just the one thing that I'm...

-Nope I'm good at two things. -What's the other thing?

Um... I can talk like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings.

What do I have to do to never see that again?

Uh, you have to let me beat you at putt putt.

Nuh uh. No!

No, no, and from what I hear you could probably use the practice.

Wow, low. Who told you that?

Yo momma.

Was that a "Your Mom" joke? This is going to be fun.

Uh, well, I guess some of you know that my dad...

...was in a car accident a few weeks ago,

and, uh, yesterday we got some bad news.

Um, the doctor basically said that with the amount...

...of brain activity that he still has...

...and the amount of time that he's been in a coma...

that, uh, it's going to take a miracle to wake him up.

So I guess I would like to pray for a miracle.

We can do that.

Like a pro!

Are you for real?

How's Tucker?

Uh, he's good. Just trying to make sure...

...the Collins household stays upbeat and positive.

Taylor made Varsity, by the way, so he's stoked about that.

-Nice! -Yeah, we're all pumped for him.

He's also hanging out with a girl tonight,

which is cool because he doesn't ever do that.

Hey.

Although, it's to an FCA meeting...

...so I doubt a first kiss is happening.

Probably not going to happen.

Yeah, maybe not.

Uh, so, just so you know, I'm an awkward talker.

But I am an amazing listener!

You don't say! That's perfect because, uh...

I'm a terrible talker and also an awful listener.

No, I don't believe that. You...

That's... You're way too confident for that.

This?

No. No. No. No.

This is just the stuff I've practiced in front of...

...the mirror like one hundred times before I came here.

In like five minutes,

around hole eleven, I'll be improv-ing and,

uh, all bets are off.

You'll be leaving me for the Icee guy.

Oh, yeah, he was pretty cute.

I think he weighted about five hundred pounds.

All right, let me make this...

So, how'd you like your first FCA meeting?

It was cool.

It's nice to see that Coach Wilson...

...is an actual human being with a heart.

Right?

I heard that, Collins!

You ever run laps around a golf course?

It's pretty freaking long!

-You ready to bounce? -Yeah, sure.

Hey, babe, why don't you just go get the car right quick?

I'm going to talk to the kid for a second.

Golf Stuff.

Okay, but his name is Taylor.

-Call him Taylor. -Yeah. Okay, babe. Yeah, yeah.

Little Collins, so you like hanging with Bailey, huh?

I mean... She's cool.

She's nice.

She's invited me to this thing like a hundred times...

-...so I figured I should just... -Yeah, you know,

I think she feels bad for you or something.

Your dad's accident or whatever.

But I can't help but wonder...

...you know that she's friends with the girl...

...who hit your dad, right?

Yeah, I think... I think she mentioned that.

It's a messed up sitch, kiddo. But anyway,

you should probably chill out your whole thing with Bailey.

You know she's my girlfriend.

I thought y'all were just "talking".

Symantics. We all know what that means.

Yeah, I don't know anyone who knows what that means.

Okay.

Congratulations on making Varsity, kid.

I look forward to proving that...

...your little nine hole victory was just a fluke.

Okay?

Hey, fool, let's go.

I have a Pre-Cal exam first period...

...that I haven't even studied...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, Tiger, easy.

Golf reference, nice, babe.

Kid, just remember what we talked about, all right?

-You ready? -Yeah, okay.

So, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but, um...

I kind of pray over your dad every night.

I mean, I do it with all my patients, but yeah.

Is that weird?

No, that's actually kind of awesome.

I mean, he needs all the help he can get, right?

Exactly.

I really believe that your dad is going to wake up.

I really do.

I know... I know it'll be a miracle...

...but I just have this gut feeling.

So do I.

Thank you.

I'm trying really hard to...

...be there for Taylor and my mom and just be positive and...

...honestly I just feel so much pressure.

And I don't really think I've let any sort of grieving happen.

I just...

It makes me feel like I'm giving up and I hate that so much,

so I just joke my way through every like serious situation.

You're being open and vulnerable now.

That's big and brave.

Thanks.

You have no idea how badly needed to talk to someone...

...who was not my family about this.

I think it just helps to have outside ears.

I do have a question for you, though.

Shoot.

How are you a professional golfer?

You are terrible at putting.

Um, well the thing is,

is that I'm letting you win because I'm a gentleman.

-No, you're not. -I am not.

You are kicking my butt.

Hey, thanks for taking me home, I just...

Ugh, I am so sick of Conner. He is exhausting.

Oh, uh, okay.

I'm just...

I'm really starting to see his true colors, you know?

The way he treats people, especially you,

it's just really pissing me off. Pardon my language.

If you think that's PG-13...

...you should hear Coach Wilson outside the FCA walls.

I used to have the worst mouth ever too.

Actually I did a lot of things that weren't exactly PG-13.

I can't even picture that.

They weren't my best days but, you know,

I got involved in my church youth group and FCA and,

I don't know, I just... I wanted to set myself apart.

People needed to see a change in me.

I needed to see a change in me.

Well, not to give you a big head...

...but I think you're the best person I know.

Really?

Well, I mean...

-What are you doing here? -I live here.

I lived here first.

I'm just getting back from my date with Minka...

That's a super hot name.

Right?

Did you kiss her?

Well, it didn't really start out as a date

You didn't kiss her.

I'm not a first date kisser! I ain't no floozy, okay?

You totes chickened out, bro.

Totes? Get out of here.

Mmk, well Bailey has to leave.

She has homework, so quit being so rude.

Night, Bailey.

Night.

Did you kiss her? Did you?

-Did you, kid? -Shut up!

Yeah, see! Not so easy, is it?

All right, all right, all right. Come on, huddle up, huddle up.

Hey, you ready for the big show?

-Yes, sir. -I'm ready to tear it up, Coach.

All right, you stay focused, let's get this done.

Will do, sir.

Okay.

Hey, Coach?

Yeah?

Thanks for believing in me.

Freshman newcomer Taylor Collins, son of PGA veteran Carl Collins,

is quickly establishing himself...

as a force to be reckoned with...

...in the Northside District.

He and Lions Captain Conner Faulk have pulled their school...

...to a top five in the city for the first time...

...since his older brother Tucker led the team four years ago.

Coach says we're in great shape for the state tournament.

Everybody's just playing great.

Mom!

My brother and I saw his finger move.

I mean, the doctor didn't seem to think much about it but,

I don't know, it felt like improvement...

...or a sign or something.

He just looks better to me.

Like, his skin looks alive and he just looks healthier.

It's probably just my imagination.

No way.

If you feel it in your gut there's a reason.

It's hope.

Yeah, man.

It's what we've all been praying for.

My gosh, it smells amazing in here, Mrs. Collins.

Good! I'm so glad you could join us.

Yeah, thanks for inviting me.

Well, tomorrow's a big day and...

...we just wanted a pre-tournament good luck meal.

You ready for that state stage, little brother?

I mean, it's not that big a deal. It's not even televised.

Hello, nurse. Are you still coming?

Your dad's awake!

I'm sorry, wait, hold on.

-Say that again. -I was changing his IV,

about to head over and he just opened his eyes!

Get down here!

Oh, okay, we're coming!

That's awesome! Ready?

Uh... Keys!

Mr. Collins, you remember your family?

Thank God.

Do you remember what happened?

Yeah. Yeah, how's the other driver?

She's alive.

She's rehabbing now, she broke her back.

I'm Bailey, by the way. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Girlfriend?

Uhh... No.

Not really, no. I mean, um...

We're talking.

I'm not sure I know what that means.

It doesn't mean anything.

Taylor's got some pretty good news for you.

He's been pretty busy.

Kicking ass on the golf course.

Language, Jennifer!

Hush, tell him!

So... I made the golf team.

And...

And we're playing in state tomorrow.

How long have I been out?

Oh, that is great. So great.

He is the best golfer on the team, by far.

Team is in first place in the region...

...going into the opening round. Awesome.

He's been in the newspapers a ton.

Even more than Tucker was when he was a senior.

Okay, he's a freshman all star,

his team went from nothing to amazing,

classic turnaround story.

Like, I'm sorry I wasn't working with such amazing story points.

I'm so proud of you, son.

Thanks.

And I... I'm really sorry about yelling at you before.

There's nothing to be sorry for. It's not your fault.

Okay, everybody, I still need to examine Mr. Collins.

You can call me Carl.

I feel like you probably know me pretty well.

Okay, Carl. You just need to rest and...

What? He's been asleep for like a year!

True, but all the same,

I still want to run some tests and keep him under observation.

Minka, I know you just got off...

I'll stay.

We'll see you soon.

It's good to have you back, Pops.

Taylor, you need to go home and rest up.

Tuck, if you take the car and take these guys home,

I'll just stay here with Dad.

But I wanted to stay with Dad.

Honey, you're not going to get any sleep here.

We'll be here tomorrow.

Fine.

First, I'm going to say bye to Minka.

Hurry up, because I don't want to wait in the car for an hour...

...while you live out your "hot nurse" make-out fantasy.

Already have. Hi!

Taylor, your dad wants to see you a second before you leave.

Okay.

Dude, calm down.

How many energy drinks did you slam?

Three. This is a bigger idea than I thought it would be.

It's not even tel...

It is televised.

A little bit. They're just...

They're here to capture your highlights, bro.

You're the talk of the tournament,

freshman all-star!

Yeah, I heard all those girls by the club restaurant...

...talking about you.

-You've got groupies now. -Oh, boy!

Oh my gosh, will you take a selfie with me?

-Whatever, Cal. -Take a selfie!

Okay, there's Coach Wilson.

-I'll see you guys. -Bye!

That's good, just a nice and easy swing...

Hey!

Hey, Coach.

Just heard about your dad, son. We are all so happy for you.

Yes, sir. God is good.

All the time, all the time.

Now, let's go win us a state championship, huh?

All right, Lions on three guys... one, two, three...

-Lions! -Lions!

Good shot, Collins. Good shot.

There you go, baby!

With just one hole left in the first round...

...of the state tournament,

SA Christian freshman Taylor Collins...

...is a record four-under par,

his team sitting in a first place tie...

...with Dunbar High and Madison High.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to...

...the Collins family for the health of Carl.

If SA Christian can pull out the win,

young Taylor will be the first freshman...

...in the state's history to lead his team to a state title.

A truly incredible story that we'll continue to cover...

...through the final hole tomorrow afternoon.

Good shot, Collins.

Good shot, baby.

-Thanks, Coach. -Yes.

Good job.

Okay, Conner, bring us home.

Finish strong, man, you got it!

Mom, Taylor is crushing right now!

He's tournament leader by a stroke and...

Whoa, hold...

-Seriously, can you not... -What?

...stay off your phone for two minutes?

Look, you can talk to that cute nurse later, okay?

Come on, it's your brother's tournament.

Uh...

Let me call... I'm going to hang up...

Let me call you back in just a second.

Just a second.

Everything okay?

-Where is he? Where's Dad? -Taylor...

-I have to see him... I have... -Look...

...to tell him about the tournament!

Look at me. Look at me.

He knows, baby. He knows.

What happened? I talked to him... I talked to him yesterday...

What happened?

This happens sometimes in long-term coma situations.

The brain wakes up but in the end isn't able to fully heal itself.

It's all my fault.

Nothing I do will ever make up for pissing him off.

-No, Tay, it's not your fault... -Yes, it is!

Me and that stupid chick who hit him.

No, it's not all her fault either.

What are you talking about? She was texting and driving!

What kind of idiot still does that?

I was the one who was...

You were the one who...

I was the one who was texting her.

Bailey, you couldn't have known.

No, I knew she was driving I just...

I didn't think she'd read it until later.

I just want you to know it's not your fault, okay?

You have to realize that, Taylor.

Okay?

Tay, look, I'm sorry!

Wait!

Taylor, will you please just slow down and let me talk to you?

-Please? -Is that why...

...you all the sudden started talking to me?

You just felt guilty or took pity on me or something?

That's not true, Taylor.

I care about you. I care about you a lot.

And sure, that...

...may have been why I first started talking to you,

but that doesn't matter now.

All that matters is I'm here for you right now,

and I'm going to stay here for you.

This is so messed up.

I don't even know what's happening right now

I know it's messed up, all right?

Nothing about this is easy, man, and I know...

I know Dad was proud of you, all right?

But this is not on you.

This is not on you, this is not on Bailey...

We will get through this.

Boys, we should head home while the hospital...

...takes care of...

-Hey. -Hey, come on in.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Um, we're sorry to intrude on you guys,

um, we just wanted to be here for our boy, that's all.

I'm sorry, man.

I'm sorry for everything.

Look, uh... About tomorrow...

Don't worry about tomorrow. If you want to play, you'll play.

That's not why we're here.

We're just here to love you and support you.

We're your team.

I think I need a minute.

I don't know what I'm going to do without him.

Me neither.

This was all for nothing.

No.

I didn't even get to finish it.

It's not for nothing, man.

You can still finish it.

Dude.

You're so close.

You're so...

...close.

You have to.

Wow, this is a much bigger deal than I remember.

He's trending worldwide on Twitter!

Look.

Hashtag Taylor Collins for state...

That little weasel trended before me?

Is there normally this much media coverage...

...for a high school golf tournament?

-No, not in my experience. -Wow.

Teeing off for SA Christian School,

Taylor Collins.

Taylor, come here.

Look at me.

This is your game, dude.

Just you and the ball. You all right?

No, I can't focus, man. I just keep thinking about...

Stop, don't. Block it all out.

All these people, these cameras, they don't matter, dude.

Just play your game like you've done this entire season,

it's in the bag. All right?

Okay.

Collins, you okay? You need a trainer?

No, no, sir, I don't need a trainer.

Just tweaked it, I think. My left foot slipped.

You turned your hips too early, it threw you off balance.

You sure you don't need any ice?

No, I'll ice after.

Right now I have to hit the green with my three iron.

Five wood has more power. You might need it.

Nah, I don't want to over-hit.

Okay, Game Boy, do what you feel in the gut.

Don't try to muscle it too much,

a slice will put you in the water.

It's okay.

Yeah, it's all right, you just take the drop and the penalty.

Make it up on the next hole.

I should've hit the wood. Sorry, Coach.

Does it look like I'm begging for an apology?

A bogey won't kill you. Keep your head in it, Collins.

You can take a drop right here, son.

Okay.

All right, Dad, help me out here.

It's all right, dude. Easy bunker, you got it.

It's nothing.

That bunker killed me in high school,

it was the worst.

It's a good thing he's better than you were in high school.

Hilarious. Let's go, Collins!

All right, Taylor. Let's do this.

You all right, man?

Yeah, it's just a weird angle.

All right, man, this might feel a little bit weird...

...just lean to the back,

it'll take the weight off your front leg.

When you hit, it should land to the right of the pin...

...and roll over the hill.

All right.

Oh, nice out, kid! That's going to be a birdie, man!

Don't jinx me.

Taylor, you hit me with the sand again I'm going to smack you.

There you go.

-That's the way to play! -Thanks, man.

Let's go, boy!

Yeah, that's great! Can we play?

What, are we going to drop balloons and confetti? Come on!

Dunbar! Dunbar! Dunbar! Dunbar! Dunbar!

It's all right. They hit two birdies,

putting them up by two strokes.

Good news is, this is a par five.

Three good hits and you're on the green,

then you both can putt for birdies to tie.

-Holy... -What a drive.

Wow, so that's why you're Captain.

Hey, Taylor. Crush it.

No practice swing? Are you...

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Collins, Collins.

Let's play it safe, don't be greedy.

You should probably club-up to a five,

and then the next hit you use a wedge and you're on in three.

Yes, sir.

Yeah. Yeah, there's a shot right there.

It's going to be about seventy five yards from the pin,

you can lay it up from there.

What?

That is insane, you're basically on in two!

I don't know, man, I'm just feeling it.

Good hit, Conner.

Come on, Conner, you can do it!

I'm so nervous, I can't.

Can't what?

I just can't, okay?

-What a shot! -Way to go, Conner!

Oh, my God... This is for the win.

He just eagled so it's freaking tied!

I have to pee so bad, I'm so nervous slash excited!

What are you, a puppy?

If he makes this I'm going to make out with you...

...so hard in front of all these people.

I don't know whether to root for him or against him.

Taylor, your dad wants to see you a second before you leave.

Okay.

I don't look so good, do I?

Taylor, I'm sorry. I pushed you too hard.

I couldn't stand to see you waste your talent,

I wanted you to be the best.

Dad, Tucker is a pro. You were a pro.

Tucker and I have half the talent that you do.

Which tells me that you got it...

...from your mom's side of the family.

I was just so tired of golf.

I hated hearing everyone say...

...how talented I was and how it was my turn.

Now, all I want to do is make you proud, Pops.

I'm proud of you.

I was never going to be proud of your talent.

You didn't earn that, nobody does.

It's a blessing, it's a gift from God,

a chance at being great.

But hard work,

determination, sacrifice,

those are the things that'll get you greatness.

It's not the talent, it's what you do with it.

Yes, sir.

You know, life's a lot like the game.

Nobody controls your destiny.

It's just you against the course and you can't fight it,

you can't change it,

you can't get in its head.

God knows it's never simple or easy.

But...

...when it's good, there's nothing like it.

When you're standing over the ball on the eighteenth...

...and you're looking victory straight in the eye,

you forget everything else.

I love you, buddy.

I love you too, Dad.

Head down, pendulum.

Come on, get in the hole! Come on!

Yes!

You did it, kid! You did it!

Most of you probably knew my dad as Carl Collins, the golf pro.

Maybe you knew him as a friend.

I knew him as a father.

He was more than that.

He taught me so many things,

things he probably didn't even realize.

He taught me what it means to work at something,

to give it your whole being.

He also taught me that...

...sometimes your best is not going to be good enough,

and that should drive you to work harder.

There were so many times where...

...I just wanted him to leave me alone,

and I didn't ever realize why he pushed me so hard.

But now I know he did it because he cared about me.

He taught me what it means to love my family,

to support them, to put them first.

When my dad retired, people said his body broke,

but anybody who had seen him play recently...

...knows that he hadn't lost an inch.

He gave up golf to spend more time with us.

You know, it was never about the golf,

it was about teaching us to become men.

I never got to tell my dad any of these things.

For awhile I blamed myself,

and God, for what had happened...

...but I know it's not true.

I also know that he was proud of me.

So...

This is the first real golf ball that my dad ever gave me.

I did not make this easy on myself.

You read this yesterday, man.

Just do what Dad always said over your shoulder.

Head down, pendulum.

Uh... Is Minka looking over here?

Seriously?

That's what you're thinking about right now?

Dude, just block it all out.

Nobody actually wants to be here...

...on a beautiful Sunday afternoon anyway.

Just play, nobody's even paying attention.

Nice callback.

Come on, come on. Get in the hole, come on! Yeah!

You know, life's a lot like the game.

When it's good...

There is nothing like it.
