"Mr. Ryder’s Trophy is cleverly written fable that brings to light the true purpose of the Ryder Cup that has long been forgotten. It is a tribute to the game of golf, and a reminder that fair play in competitive games is more than just playing by the rules. Like so many major sports events, professional golf’s Ryder Cup Matches between the U.S. and Europe over the past few years have become so “us versus them”. The true purpose of the contest has basically been forgotten. Journey with the character Ann Winchester, an avid golfer, as she discovers through a mystical experience of meeting Samuel Ryder – although he’s been dead for 40 years – the original intent of the matches, and the reason why they should be that way again." |
