The Greatest Game Ever Played tells the story of golf greats Harry Vardon and Francis Ouimet. Vardon had escaped a hopeless life of poverty in Britain to achieve universal recognition as the greatest golf champion in the game's long and storied history. Ouimet, a virtual unknown from Massachusetts, was only three years removed from his youthful career as a lowly caddie when he emerged as a competitor to Vardon, a man he worshiped. They came from different worlds and different generations, but Vardon and Ouimet's lives bore uncanny similarities, setting them on parallel paths that led with a kind of fated inevitability to their legendary battle at Brookline in the 1913 U.S. Open. Weaving together the stories of Vardon and Ouimet to create his narrative, Mark Frost has crafted a uniquely involving, intimate epic-equal parts sports biography, sweeping social history, and emotional human drama.

Book Description: Hyperion Books, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 206 x 134 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Now in paperback, the U.S. Golfing Association's Best Golf Book of the Year.In 1913, golf's first superstar went up against a green 20-year-old amateur. It was the birth of modern golf. Harry Vardon and Francis Ouimet came from different worlds and different generations, but their passion for golf set them on parallel paths that would collide in the most spectacular match the sport has ever known. Vardon had escaped a life of poverty in Britain to achieve universal recognition as the greatest champion in the game's history. Ouimet, a virtual unknown from Massachusetts, was only three years removed from his youthful career as a lowly caddie and worshipped Vardon. When these unlikely opponents finally came together in their legendary battle at the 1913 U.S. Open, the world's reaction to its remarkable drama and heart-stopping climax gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it today.Weaving together the stories of Vardon and Ouimet to create his narrative, Mark Frost has crafted a uniquely involving, intimate epic: equal parts sports biography, sweeping social history, and emotional human drama.
