It was a blast from the past and new tradition for the future. The inaugural Mike Fatke Memorial Hickory Tournament was a success over the weekend as nearly 30 golfers, donning knickers and argyle socks with their vintage hickory clubs in tow, hit the links at the Manistee Golf & Country Club.
The two-person best ball matchplay event spanned Saturday and Sunday with a series of nine-hole matches. Saturday was met with beautiful weather — a perfect fit for the country club’s picturesque location along the bluff of Lake Michigan — while on Sunday participants braved the elements, and champions were crowned in the rain.
