2024 National Hickory Championship
June 6 - June 8
Yes, friends, it’s time again for that one and only, that granddaddy of auld gowf championships, the National Hickory Championship.
The 2024 contest will be conducted over the venerable Mound Golf Course, Miamisburg, Ohio. Contestants in the Championship play 36 holes in two days. In the Open, Reserve, Sporting and Ladies Divisions clubs must be original 19th century or approved replicas and all players use modern-made, low-compression gutta percha-type balls with line cut covers available through the Championship. Tee shots are struck from sand tees. No golf bags are allowed so players carry clubs under their arm in the manner of the 19th century. There is a simple dress code. Although period costumes are not required, many golfers dress appropriately and prizes are presented to the “best dressed.”
The NHC’s cuddly Czar, Pete Georgiady, says: “The NHC is like no other hickory golf tournament here, in Britain, or anywhere else in the world; it is authentic, competitive, historic, truly unique and, above all, fun!”
Above all, he is right.
