From the Publisher:

In this work, one of golf's most respected analysts takes a measured look at how to win one of the biggest sporting events in the world. 2008 is Ryder Cup year. This golf match, contested every two years by Europe and the USA, will take place at Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, this September.

Approximately a billion people will tune in to watch the drama unfold and if history dictates, each captain will have to cope with not only the tactical machinations of a golf match, but also a number of scenarios that they might not necessarily have signed up for.Recent matches have seen behaviour often step outside the confines of that usually reserved for the game of golf - accusations of cheating and some terrible displays of misguided patriotism from both players and spectators - sometimes spilling over into outright abuse, including one match when a captain's wife was spat at.
