If It weren't for competition, I'd have extremely little hickory experience. The Mid-South Hickory Classic is held less than an hour away and it's a blast. Three days of hickories with like-minded folks, on a great course that goes back to 1915. Tournaments help me focus-everything else is practice, but I do love practice golf as well.

Yep, totally valid argument and I agree. I had plans to join you guys at Sewanee this year but my wife’s sister’s graduation from high school was the same weekend. Hopefully, I’ll make it down there next year - looks like an absolute blast and the kind of event I’d want to attend every year. I haven’t been to a USHO yet, but I have played in some serious competitive events where the atmosphere is different based on the fact that many players are there with the hopes of winning. Specifically, I’m thinking of the 2021 Florida State Hickory Open. It was a great event at a fun course (Sara Bay C.C.), but the atmosphere of playing in an event like that wasn’t as fun for me, as say, The Oddball feathery event the Lane’s host. At the FSHO, you could feel the stress level among the groups I played in, especially when shots went awry, and it wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m already hard enough on myself as it is when I play - I don’t need any further encouragement in that direction! 😂 As the premier competitive event on the hickory calendar each year, I expect the USHO to be like the FSHO, and even more so. It should be the ultimate test of skill and ability to handle that stress. I fully recognize that stress is the fuel many competitive players need and enjoy. That’s why I’m in favor of bringing back the SoHG’s Order of Merit, which formalized the competitive aspect of hickory golf and further incentivized winning tough events. I’d like to see the SoHG focus its efforts on expanding interest in hickory golf by emphasizing and further formalizing the competitive side. As I said in the video, the best way to elevate the hickory game in the golf world is to show just how good you can play with these old clubs. I find my enjoyment with hickory golf in different ways, but that just demonstrates there are multiple ways to enjoy our game.

Hey, guys! Thanks for watching and keeping up with the channel! I just started going through the footage of our round and was happy to see that I did, in fact, get some nice footage of the dramatics on the 15th green. Looking forward to putting that one together later this summer.

@@TheHickoryHacker That’s great news. We will keep an eye out for it.

I'm the same way about competitions. I just want to play and watch others play with hickories.

I’d like to see and attend more events like The Oddball, where the camaraderie and fellowship is the primary reason for being there and the competition is an after thought. To be honest, I don’t even know where I placed at this year’s Oddball or who ended up winning. My memories are the conversations and shared walks trying to hit good shots with our clubs. I’d be totally satisfied if that’s all a hickory event provided.
