Francis Ouimet, who twice won the U.S. Amateur Championship in addition to the U.S. Open, played eight times on the U.S. Walker Cup team. One of the most honored golfers in the history of the game, he was elected an original member of golf's Hall of Fame in 1944, and in 1951 became the first American elected captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. Richard A. Johnson, editor of the Sportstown Series, is Curator of the Sports Museum of New England. Robert Donovan is Executive Director of the Francis Ouimet Caddie Scholarship Fund.

A very easy and fun read!
In his biography (published in 1932) Francis Ouimet takes us to a journey to many US Amateur and British Championships. Many Walker Cups. Many matches and stories where you feel that you are there with him as your guide. His early days as a caddie at Brokeline and much more.....
And of course de 1913 Us Open and Bobby Jones.
He gives us great tips on how to play the mental game...Any insight on that matter comming from Francis Ouimet is as good as gold!
You will enjoy this book.
