Product Description

Product Description
Caddies tell here of the triumphs and disappointments of Ryder Cup clashes from 1985 to the present. These are the insights and behind-the-scenes stories from the bag-men who were there with the world-famous players. Sam Torrance's caddie recalls the historic putt which gave the first victory over the Americans after 28 years in 1985; Ballesteros' caddie recalls a "different balls" controversy; Bernard Langer's caddie recounts the story of the famous missed five-footer putt which lost the Cup in 1991; Costantino Rocca's caddie tells of the decisions which helped his man beat Tiger Woods in 1997. Each chapter includes a biography of the caddie and his player, a resume of the match and a description of the trials and tribulations on the course.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good 'behind the scenes' book on the Ryder Cup, 28 Jun 2001
By A Customer
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 Rocca's 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 it's 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, I'm sure, will end up on quite a few bookshelves.
