It might be a little late, as World Hickory Day is May 5 this year, but the Wisconsin Hickory Golfers and the Southern Copper Cup Clan will nonetheless celebrate the sport in their own inimitable way on June 1 with a round at the Auburn Bluffs Golf Course in Campbellsport, Wisc.

“We apologize for the late notification this year, but the course has been going through some management changes,” said co-host Michael Brown. Dave Long is his fellow host.

The event format includes the option of 18 holes of 1920s era golf, 18 holes of gutty golf, or a nine-hole women’s scramble.

With a finish estimated to be about 3 p.m., the organizers have lined up live music on the club’s patio to accompany socializing, awards, a raffle and other fun.

The Lunch menu will be prepared by the course staff and includes hamburgers and shredded chicken (bun or not), pasta salad and chips. Everything will be buffet style.

“We are looking forward to seeing everyone once again,” Brown said. “On behalf of the Copper Cuppers and our organizers, we thank you all in advance.”
