  • This Exceptional Book Relates the Story of the 1913 US Golf Open at Brookline. Apart from Capturing the Start of Golf in America It Is a Story About Humanity
    This exceptional book relates the story of the 1913 US Golf Open at Brookline. Apart from capturing the start of golf in America it is a story about humanity. It is a brilliant read whether you are into golf or not. The story was made into a film by Walt Disney starring Shia LaBeouf (also famous for his leading role in Transformers). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWU0O4iC Od8 For his contribution to Golf, Francis Ouimet was honoured with the Captaincy of the Royal & Ancient in 1951. His signature can be seen on the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course frame that hangs in the Putters Inn at Royal Malta. Eddie Lowery, his little caddie, became a self- made millionaire. Harry Vardon: [to Lord Northcliff] Let me tell you something. I came here to win a trophy. And on the face of it Ted Ray or I should carry it off. Not for you, not for England, but for sheer bloody pride at being the best, that's why we do this. And if Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best, because of who he is. Not who his father was, not how much money he's got, because of who he bloody is! And I'll thank you to remember that. And I'll thank you to show the respect a gentleman gives as a matter of course. An award-winning TV writer (Hill Street Blues) turned novelist Frost (The Six Messiahs, 1995, etc.) proves just as skilled at non-fiction in his affectionate recreation of the dramatic 1913 US Open Golf Championship.

The amateurs played a strong game but the pros took the match, 1-up. Venturi told a newspaper years later, "It was the best golf I've ever seen.

  • Ouimet 100 Historical and Media Guide
    Ouimet 100 Historical and Media Guide An overview of why Francis Ouimet’s 1913 “Cinderella” U.S. Open victory is considered possibly the most important moment in American golf history, along with how it impacted the growth of the game, Ouimet’s tremendous career record in golf, his business career and honors, Eddie Lowery’s fascinating life, and how the legacy of Ouimet and Lowery is celebrated today through The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund. www.ouimet.org What Happened in 1913? Francis Ouimet was the son of poor immigrants who grew up across the street from The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was a caddie, and largely self-taught. In 1913, he recorded what many consider the most important upset in sports history. As an unknown 20-year-old amateur, he beat the two best professionals in the world – Britons Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, in an 18-hole playoff to win the U.S. Open. The upset became worldwide news and helped kickoff a tremendous period of growth and change in golf which, in many ways, continues today. Ouimet is considered one of golf’s great pioneers, has been called the ‘father of American golf,’ is one of the original four members of the Golf Hall of Fame, and has been honored and revered for his play, as well as his sportsmanship and gentlemanly and humble personality. Why celebrate in 2013? One hundred years after Ouimet’s upset, it is looked back upon as the moment American golf was, in many ways, born. Mr. Ouimet went on to a great record in amateur golf.

The multi-talented Mark Frost is one of nearly 40 presenting authors at the sixth annual Savannah Book Festival on Saturday, February 16, in Telfair Square. Frost was famous before he turned his considerable skills to becoming an author. He had established a successful career in TV writing, working on “The Six Million Dollar Man” and award- winning “Hill Street Blues,” before collaborating with director David Lynch in 1986 to create the legendary “Twin Peaks.” However, Frost describes writing as his “first love.” Frost says, “I began writing at a very early nym, Eric Bowman, the turn of the 21st in.
