[edit] Photo Caption
Surely the photo caption has the figures backward. Ouimet, tall and walking with only a golf club in his hand, is at the right; his much shorter 10 year old caddy carries the bag on the left. (I'm not editing the article with this correction, because I have no inside knowledge -- I'm just reasoning from the evidence at hand).
[edit] The Movie
The movie is simply superb. A must see for golf lovers!
The movie easily became my favorite as it is inspiring and even maked golf look interesting and exciting to people who may think it as boring. It's a quality film!
[edit] Spelling
I see his name is very often spelled Quimet? Just a mistake?
- Yes, that would just be an (understandable) mistake. It is Ouimet. Carl Lindberg 02:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] French Open
The article interviewing his daughters specifically mentions a trophy he won for the 1916 French Open. And Top 100 Golf Courses also mentions a 1916 French Open, claiming that 1916 was the inaugural year. However the article and website for the Open de France says the tournament started in 1906 and that there was no tournament in 1916 due to World War I. Does anybody know how the 1916 "French Open" relates to the Open de France? —MJBurrage • TALK • 17:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
