The Ryder Cup: A History 1927 - 2014

by Peter Pugh, Henry Lord

"An authoritative, up-to-date chronicle."—GolfToday.com Played every two years, originally between Great Britain and Ireland and the United States and, since 1979, between Europe and the United States, the Ryder Cup is golf's greatest tournament. Peter Pugh and Henry Lord present their colorful Cup history, telling stories that include the world's most successful golfers—Sam Snead, Max Faulkner, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Seve Ballesteros. With photographs including Tony Jacklin shaking hands with Nicklaus after the American had conceded a two-and-a half-foot putt to finalize a draw in 1969, the book is published just as 2014's match at the beautiful Gleneagles draws to a close.

This was a Goodreads giveaway & even though I have never followed golf, I liked the history included in this book, and remember many of the names. I will add it to the collection at my library.
