38th Heart of America a feast for Berggren

The 38th Heart of America Hickory Championship was just to John Berggren’s liking. The Kingwood, Texas, hickory player and golf collector played the
1902 Grandview Golf Course in Des Moines, Iowa, to a tee.

Tournament Director Bill Reed, far right, presents a happy Berggren with the winner’s trophy.

This tourney was originated in 1978 by Warren Olson, a past president of the Golf Collectors Society, and is the oldest continuously held hickory championship in the world.

Bill Reed thanked all competitors and did a stand-up job at the award presentations.
