Canton, Ohio
The second Glenmoor Hickory Open was a splendid two days of hickory golf in Canton, Ohio. The field hosted hickory golfers from as far as Kansas.
Day One’s Scramble included members of Glenmoor CC and a practice round by the more experienced hickory players. For the members, it was an enjoyable new experience to learn about and experience first-hand pre-1935 equipment. The best comment came from host PGA Professional Meghann Stem, who was listening to members deciding what to hit from 45 yards. “Do I hit a niblick?” “No, just a half niblick” “Well, then it must be a nibbie.” That type of banter was going on the whole round, she said.
Day Two was a medal round with hickory golf veterans competing in the customary three divisions of Open, Senior, and Super Senior.
The Results:
Open
First – Rick Woeckener (continuing a great summer of hickory golf for the 2019 USHO champion)
Second – Tom Johnson
The Open Net champion was David Schultz.
Senior
First – Bob Glass
Second – Bern Bernacki
Super Senior
First – George Kelly
Second – Barry Herbert
Players from four different states competed in the event including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and West Virginia. A special shout-out must go to Barry Herbert who participated for the second-year and driving from Kansas City, Kan. Thanks to one and all for a great two days of our favorite golf.
