Video: A Couple Of Walker Cup Mood Setters, Bhatia and Hunter
/The official Walker Cup sites includes a nice meet, greet and persimmon testing (189 carry) with Akshay Bhatia, one of Team USA’s first three automatic selections and rising star.
And for those who want to see 2019 Walker Cup host Hoylake in the old days, a couple of fun Pathe videos. Starting with Willie Hunter winning the 1921 British Amateur (with a wicked stymie play 40 seconds in). Hunter was eventually the longtime pro at Riviera in Los Angeles.
Item title reads - Record win in Golf final. Big crowds see Hunter defeat Graham in Amateur Golf Championships. Hoylake, Merseyside. Crowds walk along to watch the game. L/S of people standing round the green as the players walk down. L/S as the camera pans across the spectators to the game.
And what’s a visit to Hoylake without a little flashback to 1930 and Bobby Jones?
