During his recent visit to his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, Emerald Tours Marketing Director Paul Tambakis stopped off in nearby Brookline to get a classic pic with Francis Ouimet and Eddie Lowery. We have Ouimet, the "father of Amateur Golf", to thank for his stunning 1913 upset victory in the US Open at the Country Club as an amateur at age 20. Lowery, his caddie, was just 10 years old! He reminds me of my days also caddying at the Country Club, but I was smaller and carried doubles!
Ouimet was the first non-Briton elected Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. THANKS FRANCIS for the greatest game every played! The Country Club in Brookline was selected to once again host the U.S. Open in 2022. Follow Emerald Tours as we take groups to play U.S. Open courses culminating with a visit to the final round at future US Opens, including: Shinnecock Hills in 2018, Pebble Beach in 2019, Winged Foot in 2020, TCC in 2022 and Los Angeles Country Club in 2023. Play in the footsteps of Legends!
