| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Jimmy Patino's struggle to bring the Ryder Cup to Spain and the challenges he faced once he won the 1997 Ryder Cup. Typically a one-man crew, Patino had to enlist extra workers to get the Valderamma golf course prepared for the sudden influx of visitors. After a nine year struggle to win the right to host the Ryder Cup, Patino put three years into preparing the course, the community, and his country to host the actual event. Also offers an extensive history of the creation of the Valderrama Golf Club and Patino's life. |
