		Yet Frost superbly shows how both shared a steely drive to succeed that helped Vardon overcome a long bout with tuberculosis and Ouimet to overcome a working-class background in which golf was seen (especially by his father) as a wealthy man's game, the perfect example of the evils of capitalism.
		Frost jumps between Ouimet's story and the surprisingly similar saga of British champion Harry Vardon, who was also born poor and contended with a disapproving father.
		Through hard work, courage, and determination, Vardon had escaped a hopeless life of poverty in Britain to achieve universal recognition as the greatest champion in the game's long and storied history.

	eReader.com: Excerpt from The Greatest Game Ever Played
		The day before Harry Vardon's twenty-third birthday in 1893—the year he entered his first British Open Championship—Francis DeSales Ouimet was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, a sleepy Boston suburb.
		When Harry was seven years old, the same age as Francis when he found his Vardon Flyer, he awoke one morning to an incomprehensible vision outside his bedroom window: six English gentlemen in frock coats and stovepipe hats measuring the sandy seafront waste behind his house with surveyor's tools.
		Harry and his brothers were forced to carry their few possessions away from the only home they'd ever known, into the shanties that crowded the streets on the wrong side of the town.
