xv, [1], 286, [2] pp. Bibliography follows text. "Like so many sports events, golf's Ryder Cup has become so "us versus them" that the true purpose has basically been forgotten. "Mr. Ryder's Trophy" is a fable that cleverly addresses this problem. When Ann Winchester, an avid golfer, and her husband are transferred to England she has the magical opportunity to meet Samuel Ryder - he's been dead for 40 years-, founder of the Ryder Cup. Ann soon discovers through this mystical experience the original intent of the matches, and the reason why they should be that way again."
