My Valderrama Years

Patino, Jaime Ortiz

Spain: Privately Published, 2006. 161p. wrappers. Superb photographic autobiography, fascinating story of Patino's early life through to purchasing Sotogrande and redeveloping it with 80 year old Robert Trent Jones into continental Europe's finest course, culminating in hosting the Ryder cup captained by Seve Ballesteros. Included is a chapter on his memorabilia collection.
There are other Valderrama publications covering the 10 year period up to the Ryder cup but this book was personally published by Patino, a fitting tribute to himself. Near Fine. Item #9715
