Book Description

Publication Date: August 2002

Like so many sports events, golf's Ryder Cup has become so "us versus them" that the true purpose has basically been forgotten. "Mr. Ryder's Trophy" is a fable that cleverly addresses this problem.

...When Ann Winchester, an avid golfer, and her husband are transferred to England she has the magical opportunity to meet Samuel Ryder - he's been dead for 40 years-, founder of the Ryder Cup. Ann soon discovers through this mystical experience the original intent of the matches, and the reason why they should be that way again.

5.0 out of 5 stars mr ryder's trophy, September 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Ryder's Trophy (Hardcover)

In addition to a fascinating golf story written with accuracy, humor and imagination, it was a joy to visualize the English landscape through the eye of a portrait artist. I read Mr Ryder's Trophy in one day. I couldn't stop.
