The Incomparable Drama of the 1991 Ryder Cup. Curt Sampson. This is the true story of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island, which forever changed this great competition. The 1991 Ryder Cup really began in 1985. Up to then, the biennial match between all star golf professionals from America and Europe was more ceremonial exhibition than real competition, with Americans dominating the Europeans. In 1985 that all changed when the Europeans wrestled the Cup away from the Americans at The Belfry in England. They continued to beat the Americans in 1987 and held on to the Cup with a draw in 1989. By the time the 1991 Ryder Cup arrived, the American team had vengeance on its mind. Join best selling author Curt Sampson as he chronicles this pivotal competition in his always well-searched, engrossing and deeply entertaining way. The War By The Shore is the story of when golf lost its manners (and to some extent, its mind).
