The Greatest Game Ever Played is based on the real life events of Francis Ouimet, an amateur golfer who was born into a poor immigrant family. Ouimet overcame tremendous odds to play in the 1913 U.S. Open. When he finally qualified, he went up against some of the toughest players in the game including his idol, Harry Vardon.

I remember meeting with ... 02/28/2015
