1931 Ryder Cup Team Matches at Scioto Country Club Dinner Menu - Great Condition

To encourage the intended gentlemanly, friendly nature of the Ryder Cup event a dinner honoring the teams of Great Britain and the United States is held in advance of the matches. With a very limited number produced these program/menus from the events are prized items for Ryder Cup collectors. This especially holds true for menus from the 1930's and prior. This 1931 The Third Biennial menu for the team dinner is in white condition free from an often found light horizontal crease from placement in a suit coat pocket that is normally seen on these items. In 1931 the third Ryder Cup matches were held at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. The USA was victorious by an 9-3 score over Great Britain. The backbone of this U.S. victory was the quartet of Walter Hagen, Billy Burke, Denny Shute and Gene Sarazen. At this event team captains Hagen and Chas. Whitcombe introduced their respective teams and Bobby Jones served as one of the listed nights speakers. A letter of from PGA Historian Bob Denney will accompany this lot.
