HOYLAKE, England – While being quizzed on what he knew about U.S. Walker Cup captain Nathaniel Crosby’s famous father, entertainer Bing Crosby, 21-year-old John Augenstein understandably had few answers.
“I don't know a lot about Mr. Crosby,” Augenstein said, “but I do know that my mom told me that my great grandmother would always have his records playing during the holidays and whatnot every time they went over to their house for dinners.”
Seconds later, Augenstein interjected with a fact that he and the rest of his Walker Cup teammates were well aware of.
“I also know that Captain Crosby was seated twice in the 1983 Walker Cup by captain Jay Sigel,” he said with a big smile.
