The Connecticut Hickory Golf Association is excited to announce the first annual Goodwin Gutty Open at Goodwin Park Golf Course on Monday, Sept. 30.  Tee times will begin at 11 a.m. Join us for a casual and fun introduction to hickory and gutty golf this fall. Period attire is not required but is encouraged.

Play will be divided into two flights: Gutty (pre-1905 equipment) and “Modern” (pre-1935 equipment) and will consist of 9 holes on the historic North course (the “flat nine”).  After a lunch break (pay your way) and awards, golfers are invited to play another casual nine in the afternoon.  For the “Gutty” flight, a registration fee of $40 will include 18 holes of golf, one McIntyre gutta percha “Park” line-cut ball, and awards.  For the “Modern” flight, the registration fee covers 18 holes of golf, a sleeve of Wright & Ditson square mesh balls, and awards.  Modern hickories are available to rent for $20 per set.  A limited number of pre-1905 gutty sets are available to rent as well – please contact Jacob Orcutt – jacob@cthickorygolf.org – for inquiries on gutty set rentals.  A limited number of replica balls will be available for purchase at the event – please consider bringing your own spares.  Walking is highly encouraged on this short, flat course; but cart rentals are available for an additional $19 per player.
