The Bon-Air Golfers, established 1896 and reconstituted 1996 as Augusta’s hickory golfing society, will contest their Spring Matches at Donald Ross’ 1928 Washington-Wilkes C.C.

Divisions of Play:

• Fitz-john – using original 19th century (no later than 1905) smooth-faced irons and spliced-neck woods; and actual, original 19th century gutta percha balls, or “The Park” replicas from McIntyre Golf.
• Ogilvie – using pre-World War II hickory-shafted irons and woods; and 20th century wound balata balls, or similar modern soft-covered balls.
• Sporting – the catch-all division for those using reproduction hickory clubs and/or wanting to play less than 18 holes.

There are very limited golf cars at WWCC, so plan on using one only if you have a medical disability that prevents walking. Thanks!

Period costume strongly encouraged.

Green fees are $30. Lunch after the second round of 9. New for this year!: authentic southern cooking from the kitchen of the club. Cost of lunch is about $20.
Tee times begin about 9 a.m.

The event is growing. There were three players in 2021 and 12 in 2022. Could we keep that progression and count 48 in 2024? Let me hear from you.

The Fitz-Patrick Hotel on the Square in Washington, Ga. is our official tournament accommodation.

The Sunday we have chosen is the Sunday just after the conclusion of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur (ANWA) and just before Masters week.
