National Hickory Day is the second annual event for a yearly homage to hickory golf, designed for the first Sunday in May. The promotion was proposed by SoHG member Durel Billy, who is chairman of the APNational Golf Club in Seattle, Wash.
Hickory golfers, regional hickory golf groups, the Golf Collectors Society, and related golf organization have been invited to celebrate the day in whatever way they like. “They can host golf outings, hickory golf demos, trade shows… there are a host of things they can do. It’s all up to what they want. The point is we all celebrate our favorite sport and promote it on this particular day,” Billy says.
Individuals who are unable to participate in a larger way, or get to a demo or golf outing, can still participate, Billy added. “If all you can do on that day is add a post on social media supporting the day, that’s something, too. Or get out and play hickories on your own and post a “selfie” to social media in support of hickory golf.”
