The Author With Peter Alliss
Peter Alliss wrote an excellent article in the May/April 2009 edition of Golf International magazine supporting the author’s evidence of how the idea for the Ryder Cup matches was conceived. Publications from both the Ryder family and newspapers of the 1920s clearly show that Ryder got his idea for starting the Ryder Cup matches when he played his golf with the Whitcombe brothers whilst on holiday at Came Down Golf Club in Dorset. The photograph shows the author with Peter Alliss during the Alliss/Merlo charity tournament staged at Ferndown Golf Club in Dorset.
