Rented a copy of the "Greatest Game Ever Played" over the weekend. Highly recommended.

The movie is about the true story of how Francis Ouimet (a former caddy) defeated the great Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the U.S. Open of 1913 held at The Country Club in Brookline, MA.

With side kick and caddy Eddie Lowery by his side all the way, Ouimet pulled off one of the greatest upsets ever in the history of championship golf in it's day and to this day remains a remarkable story.

sounds like my cup of tea. i will rent it.

Be sure and watch the bonus features on the DVD -- it has a 1963 interview with Francis Ouimet, America's first golf hero. BTW, if there are any Massachusetts golf caddies out there, you may be eligoble for the The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund.

The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund was founded in 1949 by the Massachusetts Golf Association and a group of his friends. Since the day he insisted that Eddie Lowery carry his bag in the 1913 US Open, Mr. Ouimet was known for his interest in helping young people. The Ouimet Fund has continued that legacy proudly for fifty-seven years. Since 1949, it has awarded over $15.2 million in need and merit based college tuition assistance to young people who have given at least two years of service to golf as caddies or helpers in pro shop or course superintendent operations in Massachusetts.

A great movie and a great story.....
