| The
Ryder Cup is the most prestigious tournament in golf. It is a biennial
tournament that involves the best players from the United States and Europe.
The tournament can change the entire perspective of a well-known golfer
because of spine tingling nervousness. But is it possible to change this
highly respected tournament? Alan Bellamy is the kind of golfer that spits
in failure’s eye. He is a person that will go to his last resort before
accepting losing. Alan is chosen to become the Captain of the United States
team during the Ryder Cup. He only needs one more player to complete his
skilled team, but who will he get? After determining who the best choice
is for this delicate tournament, Alan decides the best player is… a hustler?
Eddie Caminetti becomes the American who can win or lose the Ryder Cup
for the United States, but would he risk losing the cup for only a few
hundred dollars? Find out by reading The Green by Troon McAllister,
and learn how the Ryder Cup and Eddie Caminetti will never be the same.
