| Francis Ouimet (R) & Eddie Lowrey (L) |
Outside the locker room door, you will see the famous 1913 U.S. Open photograph of Francis Ouimet and Eddie Lowrey (Caddie). Ouimet was a bond-holding member from 1922 through 1927. He was also the clubs first honorary member, remaining an active member until his death in 1967.
Eddie Lowrey became a bond-holding member at Charles River twenty years after the photo was taken. Lowrey was an accomplished amateur golfer who won the 1927 Massachusetts Amateur Championship, held at Charles River. Lowrey was twice club champion, 1933 and 1936.
