The Greatest Game Ever Played

This book tells the story of how two men, Francis Ouimet and Harry Vardon, broke down social barriers and put golf on the map as one of the world's most popular sports. Their lives were remarkably similar, setting them up for a fated battle at the 1913 U.S. Open that shaped the future of the game. Author Mark Frost creates penetrating studies of both men, dozens of other seminal figures in golf, and captures one of the most thrilling sports events in history.
