LA Country Club To Host 2017 Walker Cup
LA CC to host site for 2017 Walker Cup bringing some of world’s best golfers to Downtown Los Angeles. The Walker Cup is the Ryder Cup but for amateur players from the United States, Great Britain and Ireland. The Walker Cup match consists of the original format that the Ryder Cup used to have. The Match employs a combination of foursomes (alternate-shot) and singles competition and was originally the format used for the professional equivalent Ryder Cup.
The Walker Cup is played every two years and rotates between sites in the U.S. and overseas. The last time the Walker Cup was in California it was held at cypress point. The united states have won the last three Walker Cups leading up to the next showdown at Royal Aberdeen golf club in Scotland in 2011.




I wonder if Los Angeles county club will continue it’s rich and storied tradition of not letting African Americans & Hispanics, or for that matter Italian’s, Jews etc. play on the golf course or set foot in the clubhouse (present Hispanic ‘servants’ excluded of course, – club house & grounds keeping only).
So what happens if some of the amateurs qualified to play are not White ?
