The National Hickory Championship–NHC
The most challenging hickory golf event in the world
The National Hickory Championship was established in 1998 as a way to join golfers who enjoy playing with vintage equipment with Oakhurst Links, America’s oldest golf course. Oakhurst has been restored to its 1880s glory complete with replica 19th century clubs and gutta–percha, or guttie, balls.
This is the fifteenth year that
golfers
from across the United States and Canada have assembled to play in the
premier two–day hickory golf event in White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia. The NHC is unlike any other hickory event; the golfer that
masters 19th century equipment, rules, and course conditions is crowned
as America’s National Hickory Champion.
Open to all, the NHC draws the most ardent and accomplished wood shaft golfers from across America and Canada. Competitive, yet fun, it is America’s hickory championship—the ultimate test of hickory golf.
