This week, the best amateurs from the USA and GB&I head to California as the iconic Bel-Air Country Club hosts the Curtis Cup. The Americans are hungry to win back the trophy after the GB&I team’s spectacular victory at Sunningdale in 2024, so we are in for a thrilling contest.
Bel-Air is an historic venue carved out of the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains. At 6,284 yards, it isn't a course where sheer length will win the day. Instead, it’s a masterclass in strategy. For these world-class amateurs, and any mere golfing mortals, success here comes down to top-tier course management, cast-iron discipline, and refusing to get greedy.
