snugs,
have you (or any other dosers) heard of the Walker Cup in golf - a very prestigious event for amateurs from the US versus the UK?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_Cup

I just learned today that the competition was founded by W’s greatgrandfather, George Herbert Walker, who was president of the USGA, as well as an extremely successful businessman.

We had photos on the dose back in November of the Walker Cup team.

Here is one


President George W. Bush stands with members of the U.S. Walker Cup in the Oval Office during their visit Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, to the White House. Named for the President's great grandfather, George Herbert Walker -- President of the United States Golf Association in 1920 -- the team defeated Great Britain and Ireland this past September to win the 41st Cup match.

Our TV normally covers the event.
