Francis Ouimet Signed 'A Game of Golf' Book - Long Inscription

While many consider Bobby Jones to be the greatest amateur golfer ever to play, Franics Ouimet is known as the "father of amateur golf" in the United States. Ouimet won the 1913 U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1914 and 1931. Here we have a copy of the 1932 "A Game of Golf" by Ouimet. This copy of Ouimet's memoir is in good condition, with only some noticeable wear on the front/back cover and spine. Ouimet signed his published 'A Game of Golf' book with a long inscription inside. The signature appears at the end of the inscription.

Inscription reads as follows:

To Charles Gobelez(msp?)

events mentioned
herein may bring
back to you pleasured
memories
Regards
Francis Ouimet
