Invest in their future tonight or at Ouimet.org

Thank you!

April 11, 2016 Dear Friends, It is wonderful to be back here at our 66th Annual Ouimet Banquet which should be, again, the largest of its kind in the country. What a way to kick off the golf season!

This evening, we will be honoring a distinguished and classy professional who defines perseverance and grit, and one who saved one of his finest performances for a stage right here – the 1999 Ryder Cup. Tom Lehman fought his way back from losing his Tour card by toiling on mini tours in tours in Asia, South Africa and the U.S. Given a second chance years later, he became one of the great players of the 90s, winning Tour and money titles on the Hogan, PGA and Champions Tours. His crowning achievement was at the British Open in 1996, and he was selected for three President’s Cup and three Ryder Cup teams. On an historic Sunday in 1999, Ben Crenshaw sent Lehman off first to start the dramatic comeback at The Country Club. Tom is also deeply devoted to charity and community activities, and truly represents the Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf.

Our second award honorees this year are former Ouimet Presidents Dick Reilly (2010-2012) and Terry Kennedy (2012-2014). They are co-recipients of our Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award. Dick and Terry partnered magnificently through the extremely important period of the Centennial of Mr. Ouimet’s historic 1913 U.S. Open victory. Together, they planned and executed many elements of our Centennial celebration, including our highly successful Centennial Campaign, our Centennial Bag Tag Program, great upgrades in many programs including our website, television PSA, the various events that celebrated the Centennial, and much more. Both have endowed Ouimet scholarships, are Ouimet Society Lifetime Members, and contribute in many more ways. They were the right people at the right time for us, and represent the volunteer spirit that Dick Connolly and the Connolly Award embody.

Speaking of Dick Connolly, we are again so thankful for all he has done. Our regular Banquet friends know him as our long-time Banquet presenting sponsor, but he helps in so other many ways, including this year underwriting a special Centennial Campaign Challenge that pushed us over the top in that important endeavor. Again, it is no exaggeration to say that these contributions have been critical in enabling the Ouimet Fund to achieve its goals and milestones. I would also like to extend my deep thanks to all of our other sponsors this evening. Special kudos are due to the Banquet Committee and the Board of Directors, whose commitment to The Fund and the students whom it benefits, have brought us here to celebrate this evening.

I think you will all enjoy having Dave Marr III of Golf Channel as our Master of Ceremonies, and hearing from our student speaker, Daniel Anastos of Larry Gannon Municipal Golf Course and UMass Amherst.

Most of all, tonight, we proudly gather to remember why we are here. Francis Ouimet’s legacy lives on through The Fund that proudly carries his name, and has helped over 5,400 young people achieve a college education. As you will hear in the course of the evening, the $1.7 Million that we awarded to deserving young men and women this past year brought the total awards given out by The Fund to nearly $30 Million since 1949. These awards have been made possible because you, and thousands of others like you, support us through programs at your clubs, and beyond. You have recognized the importance of giving back to the game that we all enjoy and to the young people who contribute so much to that enjoyment. Our thanks, along with the thousands of Scholars who have benefited from these awards, goes out to all of you.

Thank you for your support and enjoy the evening!

Sincerely,

Gregory J. Gailius President

Tom Lehman Tom Lehman took somewhat of a circuitous route to golf stardom, toiling in relative anonymity for nearly a decade before establishing himself as one of the TOUR’s dominant players during the 1990s, and beyond. His is a tale of perseverance, a reliance on faith and family and, eventually, tremendous success. Once he burst onto the scene, he remained there, ultimately becoming a major champion, TOUR Player of the Year, model of consistency and someone who is synonymous with the Ryder Cup. Following graduation from his home state University of Minnesota, where he attained All-America status as a golfer, Lehman quickly gained TOUR status but met limited success. He held his card from 1983 – 1985, but earned just under $40,000 total. Times were tough and alternate career paths were necessitated. Lehman spent time as a club professional and even oversaw a ski rental operation in Minnesota to make ends meet. He decided to try it again, and spent the next five years grinding in obscurity in Asia, South Africa and on America’s mini tours to save money and keep the dream alive. A man of extreme faith, Lehman grew close to God during a Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) meeting as a sophomore in high school. He credits his spirituality for picking him up during the hard times as he exhausted his life savings and faced an uncertain future, competing in locales that were far cries from the big stage of the PGA TOUR. As the decade of the 90s began, Lehman joined the newly-formed Ben Hogan Tour, which was then the developmental circuit of the PGA TOUR. He won four times in 1990 and 1991, earning his way back to the big tour after leading the money list and becoming Hogan Tour Player of the Year in 1991.

Upon his return to the TOUR, Lehman immediately established himself as a contender. His first of five victories came when he captured the 1994 Memorial Tournament at Jack Nicklaus’ home course over Greg Norman. The 1996 season was one of dominance as he took the British Open’s Claret Jug at Royal Lytham & St. Annes and prevailed in the season-ending TOUR Championship. He finished atop the money list and was named PGA TOUR Player of the Year. From 1994 – 2001, Lehman finished each season within the TOUR’s top 25.

During the mid to late 90s, Lehman represented his country a total of six times, with three times on the President’s Cup team, and appearances on the 1995, 1997 and 1999 Ryder Cup squads. The 1999 story is particularly compelling. Lehman had missed some of the season with shoulder surgery, but Captain Ben Crenshaw showed his belief in Lehman by first naming him a captain’s pick to the team, and then having him lead off the Sunday singles at The Country Club in Brookline, 4

in the hopes of erasing a 10-6 deficit. Lehman responded, defeating Lee Westwood 3&2 as the Americans staged what is commonly regarded as one of the greatest comebacks in Ryder Cup history.

Lehman went on to captain the 2006 Ryder Cup team and was Vice-Captain in 2010. Later this year, he will assist Davis Love III as Vice-Captain as the Cup is contested in his home state of Minnesota at Hazeltine.

Upon turning 50 years old, Lehman made an immediate impact on the Champions Tour. He won his first start, the 2009 Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf with partner Bernard Langer, while still playing a mixed schedule. He followed with the Senior PGA Championship in 2010, and in 2011 won three times, finishing atop the money list, and capturing the Charles Schwab Cup. One of those 2011 titles was the Tradition, another major, which he successfully defended in 2012. The momentum has continued into the present as he has found himself within the top 20 of the season-ending money list from 2012 – 2015. Altogether, he has won nine times and is currently 30th in all-time Champions Tour earnings. He has also branched out into golf course design, with several highly acclaimed projects.

As could be expected, Lehman has been highly decorated off the course, most notably receiving the inaugural Byron Nelson Award in 2007 and the equally prestigious Payne Stewart Award in 2010. Both honors recognize not only on-course accomplishments, but also a player’s commitment to give back to charity and community. He currently serves on the Board of Elevate Phoenix, a civic program providing long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth and Is also heavily involved with the following groups—Cortney’s Place, McKenzie Monks Foundation, Hopekids, Childrens Cancer Research Fund, Phoenix Crisis Pregnancy Center, The Changing Lives Center for Women and Children, Search Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Big Oak Ranch (Birmingham, Alabama).

Tom and his wife, Melissa, currently reside in Scottsdale, AZ and are the proud parents of Thomas, Jr., Rachel, Holly and Sean. He annually teams up with Tom, Jr. at the PNC Father/Son Challenge.

The Ouimet Fund is proud to recognize Tom Lehman as the 2016 recipient of the Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf.

James E. Lehman Endowed Scholarship The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund is proud to announce that part of the proceeds of tonight’s event will create a permanently endowed Ouimet scholarship in the name of Tom Lehman’s late father, James E. Lehman.

Mr. Lehman was an All-American halfback and MIAC Conference MVP at St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN. He went into the Navy in Norfolk, VA after college and subsequently signed a contract to play for the Baltimore Colts in 1958. He played only a short time for Baltimore before injury ended his football career. In later years, Mr. Lehman owned an insurance business in the Alexandria, MN area where sons Tom, Jim and Mike Lehman grew up and played football, basketball and golf. He died in 2009.

The Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award The Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award was established in 2000 in honor of Mr. Connolly, a Ouimet Scholarship Alumnus, Director, Trustee and former President who has proudly served the Ouimet Fund for 40 years. Mr. Connolly is the embodiment of everything a Ouimet volunteer can be. For the past 38 years, he has been the Chairman of the Francis Ouimet Memorial Tournament. He has also underwritten the production of the Richard F. Connolly, Sr. Trophy, the Ouimet Memorial’s permanent trophy that is one of the most unique in golf. Mr. Connolly has been the driving force in starting the Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf Annual Banquets, and helping arrange the sponsorship of Morgan Stanley and other companies. He has also established an endowed Ouimet Scholarship in his family’s name and helped The Fund in many other ways. The Connolly Award is presented annually in his honor. Mr. Connolly is a member of Concord Country Club, The Kittansett Club and Weston Golf Club. Mr. Connolly was honored with a special dinner and presentation of the Ouimet Fund’s Spirit of Golf Award in 2008. The event created The Fund’s largest endowed scholarship in his name.

2016 CONNOLLY AWARD CO-RECIPIENTS DICK REILLY and TERRY KENNEDY The Ouimet Fund is proud to honor Dick Reilly and Terry Kennedy tonight for their combined contributions in leading The Fund though its Centennial period.

Dick (2010 – 2012) and Terry (2012 – 2014) served as Ouimet Fund Presidents in the years leading up to, and through, the Ouimet Centennial. They were Co-Chairs of the Centennial, with Terry being President and involved in every activity during the 2012 – 2013 period. Both were very involved in the highly successful Centennial Campaign, which Dick chaired and oversaw until it recently reached fruition with over $5.4 Million raised and pledged. It was truly a very important time in Ouimet history, and their combined contributions were tremendous and helped lay a foundation for many years to come.

Terry Kennedy and Dick Reilly at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

During those years, the Centennial and its celebration was used as a vehicle to make great investments in technologies, people, fundraising programs, communications, and more. We upgraded the website, put a focus on our social media presence, produced a new TV PSA, created the Centennial Bag Tag Program, created a campaign geared to Alumni/Alumni Champions and, most importantly, created the Centennial Campaign, in which 30 new endowed scholarships were created. Dick and Terry both created endowed scholarships and sold or helped sell many more. The Campaign has already helped give us a couple of large annual additions to our scholarship awards, and is getting us closer to the dream of $2 Million in annual awards.

Other new initiatives were the Team Ouimet concept with Ouimet participation in the Boston Marathon and other active events, and a major commitment to inner-city Scholars, with a big increase in Boston outreach. We upgraded our financial and scholarship programs which now run so smoothly. We also created many communications vehicles and initiatives which increased awareness of The Fund.

The Centennial Celebration itself saw us host and develop many events which rightfully recognized and promoted, both locally and nationally, Mr. Ouimet’s tremendous impact on American golf and the lasting legacy of the Ouimet scholarship program.

Dick and Terry’s efforts were untiring. Dick is a member of Brae Burn Country Club and The Bay Club at Mattapoisett and a retired attorney and investment executive. Terry is a member at Wollaston Golf Club and a Director at RSM US LLP. Dick and his wife, Kathy, are Ouimet Society Lifetime Members and live in Needham. They are parents of four children. Terry and his wife, Kathy, are also Ouimet Society Lifetime Members and live in Milton. They are also parents of four children.

A Look at our Past Banquets Arnold Palmer – January 2, 1997

The “new era” of Ouimet Fund Banquets began when Arnold Palmer accepted the invitation of his financial advisor and Ouimet Fund Trustee Richard F. Connolly, Jr. to become the Annual Banquet’s guest speaker and first Ouimet Award recipient. Mr. Palmer’s appearance helped bring the Ouimet Fund to a new level, and since that time, the event has become the top golf dinner in America. Brian Leary of WCVB-TV was Master of Ceremonies and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino began his tenure as Honorary Chair. The following year, $100,000 was added to the Deacon Palmer Scholarship when Mr. Palmer was honored at a Ryder Cup concert at Boston’s Symphony Hall. In 2000, Mr. Palmer succeeded Gene Sarazen as Honorary Chairman of the Francis Ouimet Memorial Tournament.

Gene Sarazen – January 6, 1998

Gene Sarazen was a close friend of Francis Ouimet, and was forever grateful for advice and counsel Mr. Ouimet gave him.

He appeared many times in Ouimet fundraising events and twice was speaker at this Banquet. His famous double eagle at Augusta’s 15th hole helped him win the 1935 Masters Tournament, and he made the only other double eagle of his life at a Ouimet Annual Meeting. He served as a pallbearer at Ouimet’s funeral in 1967, and then played in an exhibition to kick off the first Ouimet Memorial Tournament in 1968 and was Honorary Chairman until his death in 1999. Although he could not attend the 1998 Banquet, he taped a special message and his granddaughter, Pam Ilnicki, accepted for him. Former Sports Illustrated Publisher Mark Mulvoy served as guest speaker. Mike Lynch of WCVB-TV was Master of Ceremonies. The Banquet was held at Lombardo’s restaurant in Randolph, MA.

Ben Crenshaw – March 11, 1999

Ben Crenshaw was the third Ouimet Award Honoree as The Fund celebrated its 50th anniversary at the Westin Copley Place Hotel. He also accepted a plaque establishing the Charlie Crenshaw Scholarship, saying it would make a sick old man very happy. His dad died five weeks later. In September of that year, he returned to Brookline, serving as Ryder Cup Captain and recalling Francis Ouimet as his team rallied from the greatest deficit ever to win back The Cup. The Ryder Cup caddies presented him with a Ouimet and Lowery statuette as a special gift just after the victory.

A noted historian, he authored a foreword to the 2004 re-printing of Francis Ouimet’s autobiography, “A Game of Golf.” Brian Leary of WCVB-TV served as Master of Ceremonies and Bob McDonald, a member of the original group of Ouimet Scholars in 1949, was the 50th anniversary speaker.

Curtis Strange – March 22, 2000

Curtis Strange had just been named Captain of the 2001 Ryder Cup when he accepted the Ouimet Fund’s invitation to be 2000 Honoree. In opening his talk, he spoke of the similarities to Mr. Ouimet in that they had both won the U.S. Open in a Playoff at The Country Club, and in which they had beaten the reigning British Open champions. The event was held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place for the first time. The first Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Awards were presented that evening to Charlie Fox, Dennett Goodrich and Mark Robinson and Mike Lynch of WCVB-TV was Master of Ceremonies.

Eddie Lowery/Ken Venturi – March 21, 2001

In 2001, the Ouimet Fund had co-honorees, Ken Venturi and his late mentor and sponsor, Eddie Lowery. It was one of the most emotional evenings in Banquet history and was held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. Mr. Venturi spoke of Mr. Lowery and Mr. Ouimet, who was a friend and his financial advisor. He also created a permanent award in the name of his great mentor, Byron Nelson.

In accepting for her late father, Cynthia Wilcox spoke of how things may have been very different if Francis had not “stayed with Eddie” as his caddie for the 1913 US Open playoff, one of the great moments in golf history. Eddie was a lifelong friend of Francis Ouimet. He was a strong contributor to the Ouimet Fund and he and Bill Danforth contributed the painting of Francis Ouimet in the USGA Museum Ouimet Room. Mr. Lowery’s widow, Margaret, endowed a Ouimet Scholarship in his name for the Scholar who is considered the best caddie. In 1999, Francis Ouimet and Eddie Lowery were inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame. The Fund presented its Connolly Distinguished Service Awards to Andrew Curcio, Wendell Fitch, and Dick Stimets. Bob Lobel of WBZ-TV served as Master of Ceremonies.

A Look at our Past Banquets George H.W. Bush – May 30, 2002

This was one of the largest golf dinners ever in America and was then considered the finest event in Ouimet Fund history. It was truly a gala occasion and the first time the banquet had a 140-page full-color printed dinner program, and the beginning of the “President’s Circle” sponsors. Ouimet Trustee and long-time supporter, the late Raymond Faxon wowed the audience in accepting the Connolly Distinguished Service Award.

Mr. Bush was touched to create an endowed scholarship in the name of his father, former US Senator Prescott Bush.

Mr. Bush and Mr. Ouimet had worked together at Brown Brothers Harriman. Mr. Bush charmed the audience with warm golf humor and memories of Mr. Ouimet and closed with a poignant wish that the attendees’ lives, “be filled with birdies and eagles.” A special highlight was a video congratulations to his dad by George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States. Governor Jane Swift joined Mayor Menino as Honorary Co-Chair. Mike Lynch of WCVB-TV was Master of Ceremonies.

Chi Chi Rodriguez – July 15, 2003

Chi Chi Rodriguez’s acceptance of the Ouimet award was one of the most emotional evenings in the history of the Banquet. An audience of 1,100 was on hand at the Boston Marriott Copley Place for the only Ouimet Annual Banquet ever held during the summer months. Mr. Rodriguez spoke of how he’d been helped as a young man, and how Mr. Ouimet had helped so many. Chi Chi chose to designate a scholarship in the name of Ed Dudley, long-time pro at Dorado Beach CC who had been his mentor. The Dudley Award is for an inner-city Ouimet Scholar. Mike Dowling of WCVB-TV was Master of Ceremonies for the night. Former Ouimet and Massachusetts Golf Association President William C. Foley was presented the Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award and the MGA was also honored for its Centennial.

Nancy Lopez – April 21, 2004

LPGA Commissioner Emeritus Charlie Mechem made his first appearance as Ouimet Banquet Master of Ceremonies as Nancy Lopez was honored. Ms. Lopez chose to designate a scholarship in her late father Domingo’s name, and it has since been awarded every year to a female Ouimet Scholar from an inner-city theme continued as the Tiger Woods Foundation Award was announced that evening. Former Ouimet Fund President Walt Lankau, the long-time Stow Acres owner and Marathon host, was presented the Connolly Distinguished Service Award. The Banquet was held at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

Greg Norman – April 27, 2005

The Ouimet Banquet moved to the new Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in 2005 and Greg Norman was honored. The Great White Shark charmed the large group and Golf Channel showed footage of Mr. Norman’s press conference the following evening on Golf Central. Mr. Norman designated a scholarship in the name of his mentor, Australian club pro legend Charlie Earp. Long-time Banquet Chair Peter Maich was presented the Connolly Distinguished Service Award. Brian Leary served as Master of Ceremonies for the fifth time. The Fund announced it would award $1 Million in scholarships that year and also launched a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of its Bag Tag club support program.

Peter Jacobsen – May 9, 2006

The Ouimet Fund often bills these Banquets as “Golf ’s Most Entertaining Evening,” and, in Peter Jacobsen, honored the game’s greatest entertainer. Humor was a big part of the evening, as, in addition to Mr. Jacobsen’s rollicking talk, the audience was treated to a surprise appearance by Foot-Joy’s “Sign Boy,” Matt Griesser, a Jacobsen sidekick on several Golf Channel programs.

The Boston Convention & Exhibition Center was again the site. The Banquet theme music was introduced for the first time along with Jacobsen’s “Jake Trout and the Flounders” tracks. The Greatest Game Ever Played author Mark Frost was presented the Connolly Distinguished Service Award. John Dennis of WEEI served as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Jacobsen designated a scholarship in his dad, Erling’s name.

A Look at our Past Banquets Barbara & Jack Nicklaus – May 14, 2007

The Barbara and Jack Nicklaus Banquet was the largest event in Ouimet Fund history. It was believed to be the largest sports banquet of any kind in Boston and largest golf dinner ever in the United States. Mrs. Nicklaus was a very gracious speaker and the audience was thrilled to hear from Jack Nicklaus. A truly special moment in the evening was the presentation of the Ellen Hines Scholarship plaque to Boston native John Hines. Mr. Hines has worked with Mr. Nicklaus for 26 years and the late Ellen Hines was very close to Mrs. Nicklaus. Mrs. Hines had attended Regis College, and the Regis Glee Club sang the National Anthem to open the evening.

Charlie Mechem, LPGA Commissioner Emeritus, was Master of Ceremonies for the second time and was tremendously well received by the audience. Mr. Mechem is a personal business advisor to Mr. Nicklaus and the MC of the Memorial Tournament’s honoree induction ceremony. Ouimet Director Tom Martin was presented the Connolly Distinguished Service Award for the many years his company, Cramer, has produced the Ouimet Banquet’s videos and other communication videos.

Gary Player – May 19, 2008

Many long-time Banquet attendees consider the Ouimet Fund’s Gary Player dinner one of our most memorable evenings. Mr. Player traveled 22,000 miles round trip from South Africa to speak and be honored. He selected his late parents, Harry & Muriel Player, as the scholarship designee, and just after starting his talk stunned the audience with the surprise announcement that he would add $100,000 to the new endowment. A highly polished speaker, his talk had both numerous golf jokes and closed with a strong message of how much he loved America. Dan Roche of WBZTV made his debut as Master of Ceremonies. Former Ouimet President Anne Marie Tobin was presented the Connolly Distinguished Service Award. Long-time MGA, NEGA, and USGA volunteer Harry McCracken was “re-presented” the USGA’s Joe Dey Award.

Tom Watson – April 27, 2009

Tom Watson was the Ouimet Honoree on an evening that celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Ouimet Fund.

Bob McDonald, a member of the first class of Ouimet Scholars in 1949, recalled the early years. Long-time Ouimet Banquet Vice Chair Denny Goodrich, who would retire after 37 years on the Ouimet Board that fall, was recognized for his many years of involvement in the banquet. Former Ouimet President Ted Hansberry was presented the Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award. Rich Lerner of Golf Channel served as Master of Ceremonies Mr. Watson was very warm and gracious, speaking to the need to preserve caddie programs. He designated a permanent scholarship to be named after Stan Thirsk, the pro at Kansas City Country Club who was a mentor to Watson in his youth. Three months after the banquet the 59-year-old Watson captured the golf world by storm to lead the British Open until a final-hole bogey forced a playoff, which he eventually lost to Stewart Cink.

Annika Sorenstam – May 10, 2010

Annika Sorenstam, the winner of ten major championships, was the Ouimet Honoree at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. The Connolly Group – Morgan Stanley Smith Barney was presenting sponsor. In a special presentation, a permanent scholarship was created in the name of Ely Callaway, the late founder and Chair of Callaway Golf. Mr. Callaway was a long-time sponsor of and mentor to Ms. Sorenstam. LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan and Leslie Greis, the Boston-based LPGA Board Chair, were among the Head Table dignitaries.

The Fund also recognized the Curtis Cup which was held at Essex County Club that year. Other highlights of the evening included presentation of the 15th Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award to former Ouimet Scholarship recipient Peter S. Lynch. Mr. Lynch is well known as the legendary Fidelity Magellan Fund Manager and has been a great supporter of the Ouimet Fund over the years and is also a Ouimet Trustee. LPGA Commissioner Emeritus Charlie Mechem served as Master of Ceremonies for the third time.

A Look at our Past Banquets Mark O’Meara – May 7, 2012

Mark O’Meara, a tremendously consistent player and winner of two major championships, was the honoree at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. Golf Channel’s Brian Hammons served admirably as Master of Ceremonies. The Connolly Group of Morgan Stanley was again the presenting sponsor. Mr. O’Meara captivated the crowd with his many candid stories of his time in golf, from high school and college, through his Major wins and today with his current time on the Champions Tour. Mark was also one of the most engaging honorees we’ve ever had at the podium, and he also spent considerable time chatting with each top sponsor group during the group photo sessions.

The evening also featured the presentation of the Richard F. Connolly, Jr. Distinguished Service Award to former Ouimet President Ted Highberger and a fine summary of Ouimet activities by Ouimet President Dick Reilly of Brae Burn and a special video overview of the planned Ouimet 100 activities.

Mr. O’Meara asked that the scholarship created by the proceeds of the dinner be named after his late father, Robert F. O’Meara. Mark played in the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach with his Dad as his amateur partner several times, including one golden year in which they made the pro-am cut and Mark won the individual title.

Francis Ouimet – May 15, 2013

The Centennial of Francis Ouimet’s historic 1913 U.S. Open victory, considered the most important moment in golf history, was celebrated at the Ouimet Centennial Gala on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. There was an audience of over 2,100 which was a sell-out and believed to be the biggest-ever at a golf dinner. One of the many special highlights was the presentation of its Distinguished Service Award to Centennial Honorary Chair Arnold Palmer. Joining Mr. Palmer on the stage were several other top golf stars, including Peter Jacobsen, author Mark Frost, movie producer Bill Paxton and the Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner, who served as emcee for the second time.

In a slight departure from the normal Ouimet Banquet, the Centennial was celebrated with the honoring of Mr. Ouimet himself with the Francis Ouimet Award for Lifelong Contributions to Golf. A special plaque was presented to Sheila Macomber, the granddaughter of Mr. Ouimet, in recognition of the Centennial and his great contributions to golf and the Ouimet Fund. A presentation was also made to Cynthia Wilcox, the daughter of Mr. Ouimet’s famed caddie, Eddie Lowery.

The Gala also included a memorable and rousing address by student speaker Julia McCarthy, a presentation by Mike Trostel, USGA Museum Historian/Curator, a Ouimet Scholarship Alumnus; and video messages from R&A Secretary Peter Dawson, PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, former Banquet Ouimet Honorees Ben Crenshaw, Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Gary Player, and Ouimet Alumnus Allen Doyle.

Brad Faxon – April 13, 2015

Last year, Rhode Island native Brad Faxon, winner of eight PGA TOUR events and considered one of the most charitable players in golf, was honored at the Sheraton Boston Hotel with many of his family and friends on hand.

Proceeds from the evening went towards an existing endowed award in Mr. Faxon’s grandfather’s name – the Raymond Faxon Scholarship.

The late Peter Maich, long-time Banquet Chair, was honored as Chair in Memoriam. Former Ouimet President Richard Barrett was presented with the Connolly Distinguished Service Award and an announcement of a record $1.7 Million in Scholarships awarded was made. Sean McDonough of ESPN served as Master of Ceremonies and Seth Waugh gave a special introduction.

Endowed Scholarship Program We are proud to announce that the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund’s endowed scholarship program has grown to over 130 permanent awards. The “endowed scholarship creators” see these special awards as a wonderful way to permanently associate one’s self, an organization, or a loved one, with golf, education, and young people. In addition to a flexible agreement program, the creators of endowed scholarships receive full tax deductibility, have the name of their award listed on a “gold leaf” board at Golf House on the grounds of TPC Boston, attend a special donor/recipient reception and are given a report on the special individual who receives the award each year along with the financial performance of their permanent endowment. There is also a special endowed brochure prepared each year that describes the honoree of each endowed award and includes the special parameters of the specific award, along with a photo of the honoree and annual award recipient.

Thank You to Our Supporting Clubs We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the memberships of nearly 100 clubs from all corners of the Commonwealth who have annually supported our Bag Tag program over the years. Since 1955, members make a tax-deductible donation and receive their Ouimet Bag Tag for the season. For six decades now, the tags have become synonomous with The Fund and through the years, as donations have risen so have scholarship awards. We are proud to say that The Fund annually commits 100% of all Bag Tag donations as the first dollars in the annual Scholarship.

Clubs across the state have the opportunity to distinguish themselves and receive special recognition within the upgraded Centennial Bag Tag program. With an eye toward $2 Million in annual Scholarships in the near future, these clubs have made the commitment in year one of a $75 Bag Tag and to incrememntally increase to $100 over five years. You will notice these beautifully engraved metal tags on golf bags all across the state. Another note of gratitude is extended to the supportive professionals from the NEPGA who set aside staff time each spring to administer tags onto the bags at the 75 clubs – a critical piece of this fundraising and communication effort.

About The Ouimet Fund

The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund was founded in 1949 by a group of friends of Francis Ouimet. Since the day that he insisted that Eddie Lowery carry his bag in the 1913 U.S. Open, Mr. Ouimet was known for his interest in helping young people. The Ouimet Fund has continued that legacy proudly for over sixty-five years. Since 1949, nearly $30 Million in need-based college tuition assistance has been awarded to young people who have given at least two years of service to golf as caddies or in pro shop or course superintendent operations in Massachusetts.

The Ouimet Scholarship is unique in that it is renewable for up to four years.

Ouimet awards range from $1,500 to $15,000 per year, depending on need in our competitive evaluation process. The value of the award over four years can be $10,000 to $40,000, or more. Over 5,400 young people have received Ouimet Scholarships, and many have gone on to prestigious positions of leadership in business and professional careers. Ouimet Alumni also stay actively involved in The Fund. Several former presidents are past Scholarship winners, and there are five members of the current Board of Directors who are former Scholars. Alumni also participate in our Golf Marathon, serve as Ouimet Chairs at their home clubs, and help in many other ways.

The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund is a 501(c) (3) organization. It is supported by contributions from Alumni, golfers, clubs, corporations and golf organizations throughout the country.

About Francis Ouimet

Francis Ouimet was a relatively unknown 20-year-old amateur and former caddie, when he tied Harry Vardon and Ted Ray after 72 holes at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. Ouimet had grown up in a modest home across the street from the 17th hole at TCC, and was self-taught, learning to play in his backyard.

Prior to his victory, golf was dominated by the Brits and Scots. There were very few players in America, virtually no public courses, and the game was confined mostly to the wealthy or elite. Ouimet’s victory changed all of that. His victory and unlikely background combined to create an inspirational moment. Within ten years, the number of American players had tripled and many new courses were built, including public courses.

Another great moment in golf occurred just before the start of the Open playoff. Francis Ouimet turned down the offer of an experienced TCC member who wished to caddie for him, deciding instead to stay with ten-year-old Eddie Lowery. The photo of Ouimet and Lowery walking down the fairway together is one of the most famous in golf history, and symbolizes Ouimet’s great victory and kindness to young people. As one of golf’s most enduring images, it was selected by the United States Golf Association as the logo for its own Centennial celebration.

Ouimet went on to a distinguished amateur golf career. He won the U.S. Amateur in 1914 and 1931. He also played on the first eight Walker Cup Teams and was Captain of the next four, compiling an 11-1 team record. Revered as a golfing goodwill ambassador, he became the first American elected Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in 1951.

Francis Ouimet is one of the most honored players in history. He has been named to every golf Hall of Fame, has a major display in the USGA Museum, and he is also one of only four golfers to have a U.S.P.S. commemorative stamp issued in his name. The 1963 and 1988 U.S. Opens at The Country Club celebrated the 50th and 75th anniversaries of his dramatic U.S. Open win. The U.S. Senior Open Trophy is also named after him, as are several others around the country.
