The story of Great Britain’s 1957 Ryder Cup victory

Features a selected photo section

This book recalls the tale of those few days when at Lindrick golf club the unthinkable happened and one of the great transatlantic sporting confrontations erupted into a seminal moment in the annals of Britain’s sporting triumphs.

A massively strong group of American golfers landed in England with the aim of retaining a trophy they had come to see as their own. The Cup had not been out of US hands for almost a quarter of a century. The Great British team had it in their minds to send the greatest golfing power back across the Atlantic as ‘losers’, a word and notion that was an anathema to the people of the United States. Against all odds the ‘Lions of Lindrick’ triumphed on a rousing final day to become the last all British team to win the Ryder Cup.
