The Winter Park Hickory Classic is the perfect time to be in Florida and the course, a nine-holer, has all the charm you want from one of Florida’s historic courses.

Click here for a registration form, or visit the event website listed below. Don’t wait too long, though, this is a limited field event and the deadline to register is Dec. 29.

Since this is such a delightfully short course, there are only two divisions for the tournament – Men’s & Women’s. Each will have Gross and Net awards. Yardage for the Men’s Division is about 5,000. Yardage for the Women’s Division is about 4,500.

The Winter Park Golf Course, the WP9, is primarily a walking course and pull carts will be provided at no cost to all tournament players. A few riding carts are available but must be reserved in advance with the pro shop for an extra charge. The WPHC tournament can not promise that enough riding carts will be available.

Distance measuring devices of any kind are not allowed during the tournament. Lasers, cell phone golf apps, fancy GPS watches, talking hat clips and the like should not be worn or even brought out of your car. Anyone using such devices will be disqualified from the competition, and, really, no one wants that.

Get your registration in soon. The event website listed below has lots more information about this tournament.
