Wonderful 6x8 image of the man who helped bring golf into the mainstream of American sports. This news service photo of Francis Ouimet and his wife was taken as they set sail to England for the British Amateur Championship in April of 1921. The clear image shows the Ouimets dressed in their finest. The photo has some editing enhancements around Ouimet's face (nearly invisible-just dulling the photo gloss) and it has been trimmed along the RT edge. Very slight creases at the TR and BL corners. Otherwise a gorgeous photo affixed with original caption.
