Curtis Cup 2012
Nairn Golf Club
8 - 10 June 2012
The
2012 Curtis Cup will be hosted by Nairn Golf Club as the club
celebrates its 125th anniversary.
The club, which lies on the southern shore of the
Moray Firth, is the most northerly venue yet.
The Curtis Cup Match is contested by women
amateur golfers, one team from the USA and one team from England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales (GB&I). The teams consist of not
more than eight players and a captain. The Match is conducted every
two years, alternately in the United States and Great
Britain/Ireland.
This will mark the 37th playing of the biennial
contest for the simple silver trophy, gifted in 1932 by sisters
Margaret and Harriot Curtis.
The Walker Cup of 1999, Scottish Amateur
Championships, Northern Professional Opens, European Championships
and several British and Scottish ladies' tournaments, have all been
played over the links at Nairn which are reputed to have some of
the finest greens in Scotland.
