 A good behind the scenes book on the Ryder Cup  |
Norman makes a very good attempt at a behind the scenes look at THE major golfing event for non-golfers.From the historic win at The Belfry (thanks to Sam Torrance), through to Constantino Roccas infamous Valderrama victory against Tiger Woods, the caddies tell us what it was like to be a bagman at the biggest golfing event in sports today. There are also some funny moments in here - like when, after losing at Kiawah Island, the European team partied as though they had won, whilst the Americans were quietly eating their victory meal! Each Ryder Cup has its own chapter and the only thing I would hold against the book is the pen pictures of the caddies at the start of the chapters. These can get a bit monotinous the further you go, but the actual text is very good. Similar, in vein, to John Feinstein, but from a European angle. Worthy of a look and, Im sure, will end up on quite a few bookshelves.

One of the greatest golf books ever  |
|
This is a truly superb book, chronicling a defining moment in golf history. This should be required reading for any student of the game. I had a vague awareness of the 1913 U.S. Open and the participants, but Mark Frost brought a inspirational tale to life vividly and illuminated the brilliance of Harry Vardon (truly the Tiger Woods of his time) and the greatness of Francis Ouimet. I am amazed that this book was not shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, because, in its own way, it is as good as Seabiscuit, which is very high praise indeed in my opinion. To anyone reading this review, the message is simple, buy this book, you will not be dissapointed.

The Greatest Game Ever Played is the story of the 1913 US Open Championship which is attributed to igniting the flames in interest in golf in America.
British legend Harry Vardon was at the peak of his powers at that time, yet found rank outsider Francis Ouimet, a US amateur 23 years his junior, to be his fiercest competitor.
Theirs was one of golfs definitive confrontations, pitting local boy against all-conquering hero and Mark Frosts account looks set to be considered one of the sports conclusive accounts.
Undoubtedly this clash changed world golf forever. We might think now how great it would be if Brits dominated the global game, but the sport would have been much duller without Ouimets win.
A real eye opener on the birth of a phenomenon in America and a book so beautifully put together you dont have to be a golf fan to enjoy it.
