Monty's Manor: Colin Montgomerie And The Ryder Cup by Iain Carter (Yellow Jersey, £16.99) MONTY’S Manor gets right inside Colin Montgomerie’s Ryder Cup history from his debut in 1991 right up to and including last year’s exciting spectacle at Celtic Manor, when Monty captained Europe to win back the Ryder Cup from the grasp of the Americans in a dramatic last day climax. Author Iain Carter gains unprecedented access to Monty as well as caddies, coaches, rivals, friends and fellow professionals from both sides of the Atlantic, as we get to go back through two decades of successes and near misses.

Carter manages to capture the atmosphere of every tournament brilliantly, particularly the Brookline Ryder Cup in 1999, where Europe lost controversially by one point. For golf lovers, this book is a must-read.

One of Europe’s most popular golfers gets the recognition he deserves in this fantastic book.
