Ryder Cup Legend Sam Torrance Returns To The Scene Of His Success At The Belfry
Ryder Cup legend Sam Torrance returned to The Belfry Hotel & Resort, the spiritual home of the world-famous matches, to reminisce and recreate some of his most memorable golfing moments for an upcoming campaign with Caledonia Best.
Torrance, an Ambassador for the Scottish ale brand, Caledonia Best, had a key role for the European Team in all four of the Ryder Cup matches to have taken place at The Belfry, playing in 1985, 1989 and 1993, and captaining the side to glory in 2002.
The Scotsman conducted a series of videos across the renowned Midlands resort and famous Brabazon course, reminiscing about his memories from The Belfry over the years, in particular the incredible atmosphere he experienced on the first tee, and the victory celebrations in 1985 and 2002.
He also recreated a number of his most iconic shots out on the course, including his drive onto the green of the notorious par-4 10th hole, and his much-celebrated 18-foot putt on the 18th green in 1985, which secured victory for the European Team.
“It’s great to be back here at The Belfry. I have so many fond memories of the resort and the golf course from my four Ryder Cups here – whether it be holing the winning putt in 1985 or witnessing Paul McGinley hole that famous 10-footer in 2002,” remarked Torrance.
“It will always have a special place in my heart, and without doubt, it is definitely the spiritual home of the Ryder Cup in Europe, and the recent developments just bring everything in line with some of the world’s best golf resorts.”
Torrance will be featured at The Belfry Hotel & Resort as part of a promotion with Caledonia Best where golfers across Scotland will be given the opportunity to win the ultimate fourball with the Ryder Cup hero at The Belfry.
John-Paul Murphy, Head of Brands at Tennent Caledonian Breweries, commented: “Sam has such a strong affinity with The Belfry, therefore it made perfect sense for Caledonia Best to offer golfers the opportunity to play alongside him here, and re-live some of his most famous moments. The Belfry provides the perfect backdrop for our campaign, as it allows our winners to experience the resort’s Ryder Cup heritage, whilst offering everything you could ever want from a luxurious resort, both on and off the course.”
