1935 The Ryder Cup at The Ridgewood CC Program/Binder w/Newspaper Clippings & Info
By 1933 The Great Depression had reached its lowest point leaving most by 1935 restricted severely in travel and leisure expenditures. That combined with weather challenges to patrons paper publications both days of the '35 Ryder Cup. The first day’s matches were played during intervals of rain and drizzle, conditions which limited attendance and left many of that year's Ryder Cup programs a soggy mess. Sunday, the final day of competition, was a day of glorious sunshine which drew a crowd of roughly 8,000 spectators, not bad at all for the times, but rising winds in the afternoon sent scores soaring as well as any programs not under the tightest of grips - surprising that this program cover clad personal scrapbook from the 1935 biennial international matches survived. Paging through this custom time capsule yields pages and pages full of saved newspaper clippings, program pages and photographs. Cover art remains a distinguishing feature of the Ryder Cup programs from the first decade of play, followed by content - both remaining strong attributes of this lot.
