Ep 78: Richard Gillis, The Ryder Cup and The Captain Myth

As the narrative around Jim Furyk's Ryder Cup captaincy continues towards the negative we invited Richard Gillis, author of The Captan Myth, on to episode 78 to talk everything Ryder Cup except the actual shots played. One of the world's great sporting events, the biennial matches are about so much more than just golf and the way media and fans dissect and analyse the event in both the lead up and the aftermath tells us much about ourselves and the world outside golf. Richard is an eloquent speaker with a fascinating take on golf and the business of the game and for that reason alone, Episode 78 is a must listen.
