Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biennial Ryder Cup golf contest between the United States and Europe is one of the biggest, most pulsating--"and often most controversial--"sporting events in the world. In the last two contests, at the Belfry in 2002 and at Oakland Hills in 2004, the Europeans pulverized the Americans, turning the tables after the 1999 debacle at Brookline when the stampeding American team prematurely celebrated victory before the last match was over. In 2004, most appropriately, it was Colin Montgomerie who sank the winning putt. Dale Concannon's book is the most readable account yet of this legendary contest, following its history all the way from its sedate beginnings in the 1920s, match by match, to the present-day worldwide television coverage and the duel of millionaire superstars. He takes us back to the Cup's origins, when the wealthy seed merchant Samuel Ryder hit upon the idea of a golf tournament every four years between Britain and America--"and was rewarded for his efforts with a crushing British defeat. Concannon shows how the competition's resurgence came at the end of the 1970s, when prolonged American dominance and the emergence of scintillating new talents like Seve Ballesteros led to its reconfiguration as a USA v Europe affair, and a historic European victory in 1985 under Tony jacklin's captaincy. Since then it has been a seesaw battle, with breath-takingly close finishes and an ever-more hysterical atmosphere. But with the Ryder Cup moving to Ireland for the first time in 2006 such excesses have, as Dale Concannon shows, in turn led to a reaffirmation of the Ryder Cup as the epitome of sportsmanlike demeanour at the same time as it is the most pressurized gladiatorial showdownfor the world's greatest golfers of the 20th century.

Download or read book The Ryder Cup written by Dale Concannon and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1926, wealthy seed merchant Samuel Ryder agreed to provide a trophy for the best of teams from two countries. What he started is a unique competition that, for the last seventy years, has regularly raised golf tempers to the boiling point on both sides of the Atlantic. It all started amicably enough, but the sense of shock in British clubhouses was palpable when, in 1927, the United States took the first contest by a humiliating margin of 9/-2/. The 1933 contest, hosted that year by Britain, saw patriotic fans overrunning the fairways, setting a tone of hostility, blame, and mutual animosity-with touches of grand displays of sportsmanship-that would last for more than half a century. With the American PGA Tour now producing a steady supply of hardened professional competitors, and with new European players making an increasing impact on the golfing scene, it was decided in 1977 that the Cup would become a "Europe versus America" affair. The Ryder Cup is a thorough history of this fascinating tournament and a well-written chronicle of its attendant glory, drama, and controversy.

Book excerpt: This is the first biography in over 100 years of the great Tom Morris of St Andrews, who presided over one of the most illustrious periods in the history of golf, who - more than anyone before or since in any game - stamped his individual character upon his sport and how, in large measure, made golf what it is today. Born in a humble weaver's cottage in St Andrews in 1821, by the time of his death in 1908, he had become a figure of international renown. When he was buried with all the pomp and ceremony befitting an eminent Victorian, newspapers around the world reported his funeral, followed by his internment below the effigy of his son, Tommy, amidst the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral. In the course of his long life, he witnessed huge social and scientific changes in the world, none more so than in the game of golf that he had, in many respects, overseen and directed. By the time of his death, the game had expanded to become the most popular and geographically widespread of all sports and the essential recreational pursuit of gentlemen. Tom Morris was a sporting hero in an age of heroes, as well as golf's first iconic figure.
