CARTS, ROOMS, AND CLUBS
We have always encouraged power carts at the FHC. We feel it enables many long-tenured hickory nuts to enjoy the course and camaraderie. Contestants should arrange carts with the pro shop daily.

We have secured the Quality Inn in Clarion as the ‘tournament hotel’ again this year. Our agreement is for $75 per night. The direct line to the hotel is 814-226-5230. They have been accommodating when booking directly through them. We suggest you do so if intending to stay there. Mention Foxburg Hickory Golf for the group rate. There are other lodging options in the Clarion and local Foxburg area, including the Foxburg Inn and other large hotel chains. Several long-term entrants have found nice accommodations at local B & B and VRBO choices.

Golf club sales are encouraged, generally there is room on the porch if you have a few clubs you would like to sell or barter, playable clubs have always done well.

GOLF BALLS
Open Division entrants are expected to play with the Park model (line cut or bramble), supplied by the McIntyre Golf Company.  We are aware of others who are experimenting with period balls from similar material. We encourage their efforts, though balls other than the McIntyre will need approved for tournament play.

All other divisions will use the Braid or Vardon model ball produced by the McIntyre Golf Ball Company.  These are both limited flight balls.  We expect all contestants to play from the cut stone tee boxes, it makes sense to use the early style and restricted ball from those distances.

Golf balls can be ordered from us at the time you submit your entry.  I will have an update of the cost in the next email.  When ordering Parks, please note if you prefer line cut, brambles, or a mixture.  Contact the McIntyre Golf Company (Mcintyre Golf Company) to order balls directly and have them at your convenience.

Previous year’s players have first crack at registering. Spots for this group will be held until April 30. After May 1, entries will be opened on a first come first serve basis.
