The Swiss Hickory Championship Days, Aug. 17–19, are history. We had fantastic weather and for the first time we had a hickory pro-am which was a huge success. All the pros liked it very much.
(Check out the photo gallery for a glimpse of the beautiful environment in which this wonderful tournament was played. Gorgeous! That’s Martin Rominger, the 2012 champ, in the red plaid plus fours.)
