Trading the Ryder Cup

Once every two years, the sporting world turns its attention to what is turning into a classic sporting Rivalry, the Ryder Cup.

Many years ago it didn’t have anything like the profile it does now. Post war it was a chance of US golfers to show how much better they were than UK players. Then the rules changed to make their opponentsĀ UK and Ireland, but that was still dominated by the US. Then in 1985 when it became the …

Miracle of Medinah – Europe win the Ryder Cup

Miracle of Medinah – Europe win the Ryder Cup

Well, we did think it would be close, but after the first day or so it really looked like an uphill battle for Europe. In the end it was one of the closest most remarkable Ryder Cup’s yet played.

Thanks to some wonderful golf from both sides we ended up with an amazing spectacle, much better than you could have imagined. More remarkably, Europe completed an amazing turnaround to bring the Ryder Cup back to Europe, again. Who would have …

Ryder Cup winner already settled

Ryder cup preview

Ryder cup preview

If you are looking for an authoritative preview for this high profile event look no further than GX Magazine this month.

I’ve written a six page peice for the magazine which includes some indepth analysis of the tournament and players. Looking at the weather forecast this morning, it looks like it will be an event that won’t favour fair weather golfers, so that should make things interesting this week. Make sure you take this into account as we approach the …
