Long before Bobby Jones became a household name in the United States, a previously unknown amateur sent shockwaves through the world and established golf's place in America for good. The 1913 US Open was supposed to be a clash between two titans of golf - the legendary Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. For one week, however, a 20-year old American matched them shot for shot. At the end of four rounds, the unknown American boy (and his 10 year old caddie) was tied with two of the biggest names in golf.  With the entire country seemingly holding its breath, Francis Ouimet played the round of his life in the 18-hole playoff and dominated Vardon and Ray to claim US Open victory. This victory is widely considered the birth of modern American golf.        

Here is a much-coveted 1932 Limited First Edition of Francis Ouimet’s book A Game of Golf. Only 550 limited edition first editions were produced in 1932 - each numbered and signed by Francis Ouimet himself. #387 of 550. Includes the original glassine paper cover. Also includes the replacement slipcase. It's possible this was rebound at some point, but hard to tell.  Good to Very Good overall condition with fading to the spine.
