The Greatest Game Ever Played was written by Mark Frost in 2002 and made into a movie in 2005. It tells the story behind the legendary 1913 U.S. Open, in which Francis Ouimet, a 20-year-old golf amateur from Massachusetts, shocked the golf world by defeating British champion Harry Vardon, the most famous pro golfer of his time. Frost beautifully weaves history into his narrative, clearly showing the long-term impact this duel had on the game and how it helped propel the U.S. Open into the arena of world-class golf. Since the 1913 Open was played at the Country Club in Brookline, across the street from Ouimet's home, this letterbox is located nearby at Hall's Pond Sanctuary.
Directions:
From Beacon Street go north on Amory Street then turn right at Freeman Street into north entrance for Amory Park.
Clues:
Walk east on path at end of parking lot to the entrance Hall's Pond Sanctuary on the left. Go left at sign with map into Amory Woods, through a gazebo to a loop trail. Go right on path 12 steps as it starts to bend left by a bench on the right. Continue on path 10 steps then go right 3 steps off trail to a large tree with small evergreens around it. LB is at back base under a rock, sticks and leaves.
