Sam Torrance - his Autobiography
Sam Torrance is one of the most popular and charismatic golfers in the world. He has spent the last three decades at the top of the professional game, but it is his exploits in the Ryder Cup that are truly astounding. As a player in the Ryder Cup, he is famous for his winning putt for Europe on the 18th green at the Belfry in 1985. And it was as captain of the team that Sam was to cap his glorious career, when on the 29th September 2002 Europe regained the Ryder Cup - an event watched by over one billion people worldwide.
The Olympians are in town
... and the Footballers, the Cricketers and the Rugby players. They were all at the De Vere Belfry for the first of the Schlumberger Olympic Classic Golf series to raise funds for the British Olympic Association in the build up to Athens 2004. Just the odd Olympic medal (Sir Steve Redgrave, Alan Wells and newly retired Jonathan Edwards), to go with just a few England (and Scottish Rugby) Caps ......
Nick Dougherty – back on track.
Nick Dougherty has come to the Marriott Forest of Arden as Youth Ambassador for the Golf Foundation. It’s the Weetabix Age Group Championships for 2003, the culmination of qualification for some stars of the future after regional finals all over the UK and with the Walker Cup just two weeks away, Dougherty is a star from then and a star for now, having ‘saved his card’ with a mid summer 2nd place in Sweden just a few days beforehand. Until those four days success, 2003 was turning into possibly a career changing disaster as Dougherty, Rookie of the Year on the European Tour in 2002, was not competing properly because of illness.
Paul Casey – how and why he won the B&H
If you think you are good, take another look at what you can do. At the top of his game, Paul Casey plays as well as anyone, Tiger Woods included. He has just walked into the Media Centre having won one of the most famous trophies on the European Tour (which he clutches to his chest with real pride) in some pretty indifferent weather and against one of the strongest fields so far in 2003.
JUSTIN ROSE - a week in the life of
Its June and it’s the British Masters, the last of four titles that Justin Rose is defending from 2002. It’s the most special one as it was this time last year that Justin’s father Ken saw his son win, the only time in those special four weeks. For a man whose has life undergone so much public scrutiny, Rose just accepts this very well. The memories are a private part of his life that he allows into the media with dignity and openness. This isn’t another Tournament yet it is, and Rose’s presence is a very important part of a new sponsorship agreement, new promoters, all this going on when everyone is talking about the following week and the US Open – and many top European Stars are ‘acclimatising’ in America.
