1913:

Francis is living a dream come true. She alone is making history having been the first woman to compete in the 1912 National Amateurs Championship. Francis didn't win, but she still left her mark finishing as one of the top ten.

Mr. Campbell, Mr. Hastings, and her mother were very proud of what she has accomplished here through this. As was Francis herself.

The only person that didn't seem to be all too happy about her achievement, besides the disagreeable members of the Country Club that stood on her way, is her father.

Arthur Ouimet refused to even acknowledge what his daughter has done. He still firmly believes that she doesn't belong in that world nor will it fully accept her into the fold.

To ease the growing tension on the household Francis sought to get work where she can find it. She no longer had her old position as a caddie at the Country Club in order to pursue a career as an Amateur. Francis soon found a position as a clerk at a sporting goods shop that is right in Boston. The hours are good and it pays well so it might temper his disdain at her love of golf as she continues to add to the household and save for college.

It's always been his motto to work hard and bring home the money.

By all accounts she's still doing it.

This is where things get really interesting for our leading lady.

Her life's about to change big time.

As an Amateur playing in the 1913 U.S. Open.
