Sept. 11-12
Hyperion Field Club
Johnston, Iowa
What can be said about 2020, other than what a year it has already been!
Covid-19 hit early in the year and caused a nationwide pandemic. Even with this happening, the HGA hosted a successful 43rd annual Heart of Iowa event in July at the Bright-Grandview Golf Course in Des Moines.
During the week of Aug. 10 in Iowa a derecho (line of very strong and fast-moving wind and thunderstorms) moved through the state causing damage and power outages in several areas. Some people are still without power and continue to clean up storm damage.
With that being said, we are looking forward to hosting the 2020 Iowa Hickory Classic in September at the Hyperion Field Club. Bill Reed has worked with the Hyperion Field Club to establish proper health protocols. Disinfectant, disposable towels, gloves and masks will be available to all.
We trust that each hickory player is and will be well, non-symptomatic and use common sense to stay home if there are any underlying health issues.
Any additional questions may be directed to Bill Reed, Iowa Hickory Classic Tournament Director, at 515-490-5159. What follows are the tournament details.
The Hyperion Field Club is a private club established in 1900 that contracted with Tom Bendelow in 1910 to design the present day course. Hickory rentals will be available. If you insist or resist, you may play with modern equipment. Just let us know ahead of time and we will have a special flight for you.
