Description

HICKORY GOLF! Northwest Hickory Players are meeting at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma to celebrate World Hickory Golf Day. This year's event will be held on May 1, 2022 with tee times beginning at 10 a.m. Players will pay their green fees at the course--$40 walking, riding carts extra--and the entry fee for the event--payable to Rob Ahlschwede at the event--$20 to cover a small gift and prizes. The event is playing for the John Ball trophy. John was an English pro that was one of the designers of the course that opened in 1915 and is now part of the Tacoma Park and Recreation Department. There will be medals awarded in four divisions--Open, Senior (60+), Super Senior 70+), and Ladies--for best gross and net scores. There are 40 spots available so enter soon. After a successful three day event in the Portland area in July of 2013, the group was officially organized as the Northwest Hickory Players on January 1, 2014 following a round at ChambersBay. The goal of this group is to preserve and promote hickory golf in the traditions of bygone days when golfers, wearing knickers and other period clothing, played with brassies, spoons mashies and niblicks. We’re all about hickory golf.  That’s it.  No modern events, no hybrid events, just pre-1935 hickory play for the love of the game.  We invite players from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia to join us by contacting one of us below.  Loaner/rental sets available too!  We have plenty.  Come, join us! www.nwhickoryplayers.org
