The biennial Ryder Cup golf contest between the United States and Europe is one of the biggest, most pulsating--"and often most controversial--"sporting events in the world. In the last two contests, at the Belfry in 2002 and at Oakland Hills in 2004, the Europeans pulverized the Americans, turning the tables after the 1999 debacle at Brookline when the stampeding American team prematurely celebrated victory before the last match was over. In 2004, most appropriately, it was Colin Montgomerie who sank the winning putt. Dale Concannon's book is the most readable account yet of this legendary contest, following its history all the way from its sedate beginnings in the 1920s, match by match, to the present-day worldwide television coverage and the duel of millionaire superstars. He takes us back to the Cup's origins, when the wealthy seed merchant Samuel Ryder hit upon the idea of a golf tournament every four years between Britain and America--"and was rewarded for his efforts with a crushing British defeat. Concannon shows how the competition's resurgence came at the end of the 1970s, when prolonged American dominance and the emergence of scintillating new talents like Seve Ballesteros led to its reconfiguration as a USA v Europe affair, and a historic European victory in 1985 under Tony jacklin's captaincy. Since then it has been a seesaw battle, with breath-takingly close finishes and an ever-more hysterical atmosphere. But with the Ryder Cup moving to Ireland for the first time in 2006 such excesses have, as Dale Concannon shows, in turn led to a reaffirmation of the Ryder Cup as the epitome of sportsmanlike demeanour at the same time as it is the most pressurized gladiatorial showdownfor the world's greatest golfers of the 20th century.

Golf has been called the greatest of all games, but it has also been derided by none other than Mark Twain as nothing more than a good walk spoiled. Traditional teaching holds that golf originated in Scotland around the 15th century. However, there is historical evidence of games similar to golf being played in the low countries of Europe back in the 13th century. Over the many centuries of golf's evolution, the balls used have changed greatly, as have the clubs, the holes, the courses, and the entire game itself. The Historical Dictionary of Golf presents a comprehensive history of the game through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, photos, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on places, teams, terminology, and people, including Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sörenstam, Lorena Ochoa, Phil Mickelson, and, of course, Tiger Woods. Appendixes of the members of the World Golf Hall of Fame, the Major Championships of Golf, the International Team Events, and the Professional Tour Awards are also included.

For those old enough to remember, the Ryder Cups before the 1980s were often dispiriting affairs, especially if you were British. The Americans were simply too good and the British won only very occasionally. At the end of the 1970s, the great American golfer, Jack Nicklaus, suggested that the British invite golfers from Europe to join their team. Seve Ballesteros from Spain and Bernhard Langer from Germany were just coming to the peak of their careers and it was an inspired suggestion that fortunately the British accepted. The contest became more even and the Europeans began to win as often as the Americans. Indeed, since 1981 Europe has won ten of the sixteen contests.There have been many close and exciting contests with huge dramas developing on the last day. Standing out are the matches at Brookline in 1999 when the Americans overturned a deficit of 10-6 going into the final day; Celtic Manor in 2010, when the Americans nearly, but not quite, overturned a substantial European lead; and finally at Medinah in 2012 when the Americans were cruising comfortably to victory on Saturday afternoon with a 10-4 lead, only for the Europeans to fight back: first by winning the last two fourballs on the Saturday and then winning 81⁄2 points out of 12 in the singles on Sunday.The Ryder Cup captures all the glory of golf's greatest match.
