Recounting golf's early years in Scotland and its growth in the U.S., this book tells the story of the largely unheralded players of the ""Scottish Invasion,"" who struggled to earn respect a time when the game was controlled by a wealthy American establishment. Charles ""Chay"" Burgess - founder and inductee of the New England PGA Hall of Fame and teacher of three American national champions - learned the game on the ancient seaside links of his native Montrose and competed against such British greats as James Braid and J.H. Taylor. His arrival in the U.S. dramatically influenced the rapid development of amateur golf In 1913, American amateur Francis Ouimet - a working-class unknown under Burgess' tutelage - won the U.S. Open against British celebrities Ted Ray and Harry Vardon. Ouimet's triumph began a revolution on the links by bringing the game to mainstream America.
