EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling 1969 NoW Matchplay at Walton Heath Golf Club. The focus of the image is on Welsh golfer Dai Rees as he skillfully hits from the rough, showcasing his exceptional talent and determination. Despite finishing as a runner-up in this particular tournament, Rees remains an iconic figure in British golf history. While his performance at the NoW Matchplay may have been memorable, it is his role as captain of the Great Britain Ryder Cup team that truly solidifies Rees' legacy. In 1957, at Lindrick Golf Club in Yorkshire, England, he led his team to a historic victory over the United States. This triumph forever etched Rees' name into golfing folklore and cemented him as one of Wales' most celebrated sportsmen. Colorsport's expertly captured photograph not only showcases Rees' prowess on the course but also serves as a reminder of his remarkable achievements throughout his career. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we can't help but feel inspired by Dai Rees' unwavering dedication and leadership that propelled him to become a true legend in British golfing history.
