May 1
Global Hickory Golf Celebration

Scheduled to fall on the first Sunday in May, World Hickory Golf Day is an international invitation to celebrate our favorite sport. So, get together with friends and enjoy a round. If the weather is inclement in your part of the world, gather with your hickory golfing friends in the local pub, or share a chat on a Zoom call. However you get together, be sure to send us photos. Let’s show the world that the global community of hickory golfers is truly enthusiastic about this incredible game.

This year the Society of Hickory Golfers plans to recognize that national or international hickory golf groups it deems really got into the spirit of things. (We’ll cook up something cool!)

So, be sure to have some fun and do it up big. It’s hickory golf, after all. Send your photos to:  editorthegolf@gmail.com  We’ll share them on Facebook and on this website.

The day was conceived as National Hickory Golf Day in 2016 by Durel Billy of the AP National Golf Club in Federal Way, Wash. Billy, who enjoys hickory golf, hoped to provide a day where regional groups across the U.S. might celebrate together.
