The movie is actually loosely based on the hindu epic, Bhagavad Gita. The character "Bagger Vance" is based on Bhagavan and "Rannulph Junuh" is based on Arjuna... ( R. Junuh, get it?). It's just something I realized and the similarities are too great for it to be a coincidence I think.

If you say "Bagger Vance" really fast but pronounce it like "bugger" as opposed to "bagger" it SORT of sounds like Bhhagavan and "R Junuh" IS Arjuna... Haha, yes, I got that!
I like that it's based on it. It gives the movie just something extra =]
