EXCLUSIVE SEMINOLE GOLF CLUB TO HOSE 2021 WALKER CUP

The best amateurs in the world will soon compete on another of America’s hidden treasures. 
This past summer, the Walker Cup match between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland returned  to National Golf Links for the first time since 1922, when the first matches were played on C.B. Macdonald’s links-style course. 
Now, Golf World senior writer and Golf Channel insider Tim Rosaforte is reporting that the 2021 Walker Cup contest is headed to another of America’s most exclusive courses: Seminole Golf Club, in Juno Beach, Florida, which will host its first public competition since the club opened in 1929. 
Seminole’s president, Jimmy Dunne, was impressed by how National hosted the Walker Cup and convinced the board and USGA in less than two months, according to the report.
Upcoming venues for the biennial matches: 
2015 Royal Lytham and St. Annes
2017 Los Angeles Country Club
2019 Royal Liverpool. 

EDITOR: Has Donald Trump thought about making a bid to host the 2023 Walker Cup at Trump International Links, Balmedie, 12 miles north of Aberdeen?
