Review

An extraordinary book...[with] passages that were so convincing they made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up ― THE TIMES

Mark Frost has done a wonderful job of capturing the moment of golf's awakening in America. His work is thoroughly researched ―
Ben Crenshaw, 1999 US Ryder Cup Captain

Brilliantly told... marries social history with sporting biography...vivid, often moving, portraits of the two protagonists ―
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

[A] great insight into how golf got its start in America, and the man who really introduced it: Francis Ouimet ―
Ken Venturi

Book Description

What SEABISCUIT was to the early years of modern racing, this book is to the birth of modern golf - a classic, highly inspirational story about genuine heroes, national pride and the enduring friendship between America and Great Britain.
