The 2023 Washington State Hickory Championship was played May 21-22 over the Walla Walla and Wine Valley golf courses.
The players got the full weather treatment, from hot in Round 1 to cool and windy for Round 2. Sunday night at the Green Lantern Tavern was very fun with lots of stories and JQ handed out the specials awards for the day. No one hit the green for the Statesman and Women’s divisions, so the $20 KP (closest to the pin) awards for those divisions carried over to Round 2 at Wine Valley. At Wine Valley all the par 3s were available for KPs for all the divisions, so the competition was fierce.
Congratulations to our 2023 WA State champion, Jim Von Lossow!
