Favourite Graffeg book: My Ryder Cup – The longest weekend – “This book captures the very essence of the event in print – live drama, the players, quotations and amusing chants from spectators – and for me especially it helps to fill in some of those sporting feats that I missed as a result of that unprecedented 4th day.”
