Filmed at the Kanawaki Golf Club outside Montreal, Quebec. The producers had the white clubhouse painted yellow for the film. Members liked the change so much they kept the color after filming.
The real Francis Ouimet and Eddie Lowery remained life long friends. When Ouimet died in 1967, Lowery was one of the pall-bearers.
In reality, Ted Ray wasn't anywhere near as obese as the actor who portrayed him.
Final film of Armand Laroche.
In the beginning of the film Harry Vardon shows young Francis how to hold the golf club. Vardon is credited with creating the overlapping grip, used by most professionals and still referred to as the Vardon grip to this day.
"Eddie Lowery: Easy peasy lemon squeasy."
"Harry Vardon: [to Lord Northcliff] Let me tell you something. I came here to win a trophy. And on the face of it Ted Ray or I should carry it off. Not for you, not for England, but for sheer bloody pride at being the best, *that's* why we do this. And if Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best, because of who he is. Not who his father was, not how much money he's got, because of who he bloody is! And I'll thank you to remember that. And I'll thank you to show the respect a gentleman gives as a matter of course."
