Northwest Hickory Players celebrate World Hickory Golf Day at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, Wash. The playing of the Vintage Hickory Classic has been scheduled for WHGD since 2013 and this year there were 46 players for the celebration. It was great having many players making the trip from the Portland area to join in the fun of the day.
The morning started cool and foggy for the 10 a.m. tee times, and slowly cleared to blue skies and warm temperatures around noon. Many players finished the round in shirt sleeves enjoying the warming temperatures.
There were 19 players in the Open division, won by Brent Hudgins(defending champion) who shot a crisp 75 from the back tees (6100+) followed by Marshall Huston and JJ Jackson.
Net leaders were Quinn Allen, Jim Bucher and Shawn Baker.
In the Ladies Division there were only three players with Paula Anderson winning the division with 98. Second was Roberta Robbins and Sandy Bucher was the net winner.
Kit Ledbetter led the 11-player Senior field with 83, followed by Martin Pool and John Quickstad. Net winner was Chris McIntyre followed by Ken Coleman and Eddie Johnson.
The Super Senior division had 13 players. The Champion was Rob Ahlschwede with a score of 82, followed by Steve Franich at 86 and Kyle Marvin with 87. Net winner was Clint Steed followed by Ralph Potter and Franz Schwarm.
It was such a great day, that our conversations centered on the events coming up for the rest of the season. We can’t wait!
