Ken Holtz, host of the Arizona Desert Hickory Classic, reports:
On Feb. 26-27, 98 players celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Arizona Desert Hickory Classic in Sun City West, Ariz. Equipped with vintage equipment, and attired in knickers, argyle socks, woolen caps and vintage outfits, they challenged Grandview & Pebblebrook Golf Courses in grand style over a two-day competition.
Players from across the USA and Canada, and a few international contestants, joined with Arizona hickory golfers from Sun City West, Tatum Ranch, Buckeye, Pebblecreek, El Mirage, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Surprise, Payson, Sedona and Goodyear to compete. The tournament supported a field for Championship, Senior, New-To-Hickory, Super Senior and a division of Lady Players.
The weather was outstanding and complimented the excellent course conditions. A top player from the Scottsdale area, remarked “these are the best greens in the Southwest Valley.” Out-of-town thoroughly enjoyed their get-away from winter to our beautiful SCW community. Players and guests enjoyed the golf, hospitality, weather, prizes and fun.
