This Day in Golf History: May 21

The first Curtis Cup Match was played on this date in 1932. The United States team defeated Great Britain 5.5 to 3.5 at Wentworth Golf Club in England. The two big amateur stars in women’s golf matched up twice on the day. American Glenna Collett Vare and England’s Joyce Wethered split their matches; Vare and teammate Opal Hill won a team match 1 up, but Wethered beat Vare in singles 6 and 4.
