Off they go in an RV to hit some big amateur tournaments, accompanied by the kid’s mother and the old pro’s irascible buddy.

She’s fighting patriarchal powers greater than herself, but she’s not to be underestimated, even if the production doesn’t quite clarify why everyone is in love with this stunning if rather irascible and self-involved young woman.

"We love him. He was intrepid, he was funny, he was gruff, he was irascible, he was beautiful."

The club identifies, correctly, as a titan, and — under Pérez’s stewardship, in particular — it has taken great pride in living the values associated with the classical definition of that term: impetuous, impulsive, irascible.
