Another great day at Hyland as everyone enjoyed the Chapman alternate shot format.

New to Hickory Golf
Hello! I've had some hickory clubs and decided to start using them. Do you play with gutta percha balls? Do you walk or is there an option to ride in a car? I have difficulty walking. I'd love to play at Pinecrest, but am a total rookie. Do you have hickory handicaps. My email is holliscross621@yahoo.com. John Riordan
