Drama never far away when ‘selfish’ golfers get together

GOLF is one of the most individualistic if not the most selfish of sporting activities.

However, there are very welcome exceptions when the routine of 72-hole tournaments gives way to team competitions.

Last weekend, the Walker Cup in Aberdeen resulted in a rare but deserved victory for Britain & Ireland over the Americans while this week the All-Ireland Cups and Shields finals are set for Castlerock, Co Derry and the Vivendi Seve Trophy is hosted by St Nom-La-Breteche near Paris.
