Offered here is what may be the only known original program from the unofficial 1921 Walker Cup, which was held at Royal Liverpool (Hoylake).
In 1920, the USGA held a series of meetings attempting to establish a preeminent international golf competition. These discussions were spearheaded by USGA President George Herbert Walker. Then, in 1921, William C. Fownes took an American Team to Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) to play a team competition against the best amateur golfers in Britain. The event was held at Hoylake the day before it would host the 1921 British Amateur. Included on that United States Team was a 19 year old Bobby Jones, as well as former US Amateur Champions Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans.
This America vs. Great Britain tournament would become the “Walker Cup” when it was contested the following year. Memorabilia from this inaugural “unofficial” Walker Cup in 1921 are scarce.
This 1921 tournament was also significant for another reason. It was the 19 year old Bobby Jones' first trip overseas. Jones participated in this Walker Cup match, then finished T5 at the British Amateur, and a few weeks later was involved in the most controversial moment in his career. Bobby Jones was seeing the Old Course at St Andrews for the first time in June 1921 for the Open Championship - and he did not like what he saw. Jones reportedly hated the Home of Golf, and walked off the course during the 3rd round of the 1921 Open when he took 4 shots to get out of a bunker on the 11th hole. Jones' reputation would take a serious hit due to his on-course temper and lack of sportsmanship during his first trip to the UK.
This original "program" from the unofficial 1921 Walker Cup is a roster of matches for the event. It looks like the Americans led off with their stars - Chick Evans up first, followed by Francis Ouimet, and then Bobby Jones. 4 1/4" x 6 5/8".
