The Ryder Cup: An Illustrated History of Golf's Greatest Drama - Hardcover

"'There are very few good books on the Ryder Cup. Dale Concannon, a golf historian of some standing, has gone some ways towards changing that... Both entertaining and informative' Golf World"

The biennial Ryder Cup golf contest between the US and Europe is one of the biggest, most pulsating - and often most controversial - sporting events in the world. On the last two occasions the Europeans have pulverised the Americans, and relegated world-best players like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to also-rans. For golfers like Colin Montgomerie, their heroic and brilliantly consistent performances under pressure in the Ryder Cup are comparable achievements to winning a Major. Dale Concannon's book is now established as the most readable and authoritative chronicle of this great tournament. Now re-published - fully updated to include the 2004 contest - as a stunningly illustrated full-colour book, it features over 140 photographs, from rare archive shots of the Cup's earliest days to magnificent action shots of the gladiatorial epics of recent years.
