Celtic Manor - 2010 Ryder Cup Venue
I am pleased to report that copies of my Samuel Ryder biography are now available at the Celtic Manor Hotel – venue for the 2010 Ryder Cup matches taking place in the autumn of 2010.
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.
Corey Pavin & the Ryder Cup
At the 2009 PGA Annual Lunch at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London I had the honour of presenting my Samuel Ryder biography to the American Ryder Cup Captain for 2010 – one Corey Pavin. It was a pleasure to meet him and his wife Lisa and they were very gracious in accepting the book. 850 guests listened to a question and answer session hosted by the former BBC golf correspondent Tony Adamson.
