Gary Krupkin, one of the members of the host organizers of the 2025 USHO, the Hickory Golf Association of Texas, has produced a beautiful 10-minute presentation on the course, narrated by Willie Park Jr., he who designed the course. (A voice actor, of course, but a darned good one!)

USHO Policies and Procedures
This booklet was prepared by the USHO Committee to assist local USHO host committees with the difficult task of managing the annual tournament. The booklet covers such items as course management, awards, communications, sponsorships and much more. The guidelines were assembled based on several years' experience from previous committees.
Each region that would submit a Host Proposal should download the USHO Policies and Procedures PDF and share the document with its members who should become familiar with its contents.
The booklet contains information on how to submit a site/host proposal.
For questions and advice on any point, please contact Dave Brown, USHO Site Selection Chairman; or James Davis, Exec. Director of the SoHG.
