The 11th Curtis Cup Match was played on 20 and 21 May 1960 at Lindrick Golf Club in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. The United States won by 61⁄2 matches to 21⁄2, to regain the Curtis Cup.[1]
The United States won two of the three foursomes matches and then won four of the six singles with another match halved.[2][1][3]
The contest was played over two days, with three foursomes on the first day and six singles matches on the second day, a total of 9 points. Matches were over 36 holes.
Each of the 9 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 1⁄2 a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 5 points won the competition.
