Honoring Jack Wilson September 17
Our gathering for Jack will be held at the Oakbrook Golf Course Clubhouse on Sunday, September 17 at 10:30 a.m. The morning time gives people time to get to Seattle for the Seahawks game if they have tickets and allows the rest of us plenty of time to get next to a television to watch, if interested. Click here for directions. Before and after the service, there will be a sale of golf clubs, bags and books. Donna, Jack’s wife, thought that doing this would be a good thing, so we will be taking a lot of Jack’s collection to the clubhouse, putting it on display for sale. I have gone thru…

Olsen Bests Miller in Five Extra Holes in the Pacific Northwest Hickory Championship
The fairways were baked, running hard and fast. Plumes of dust rose in the air with each mashie shot. (Yes Virginia, there is dust in Seattle.) With a recent record of 56 consecutive days without rain, the sites of the 3rd Annual Pacific Northwest Hickory Championship, played at Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course and Mount Si Golf Course (est. 1927), offered unfamiliar tests for the Northwest hickory players. As it was in the ‘20s, the roughs were rough, and the fairways rougher. But the hard grounds also had its advantages as 270 yard drives were not uncommon for the long hitters.

US Hickory Open Makes its West Coast Debut July 10-12
The U.S. Hickory Open (USHO) is the premier hickory golf tournament in the United States. The U.S. Hickory Open is scheduled for July 10-12, 2017 on the historic Del Monte golf course in Monterey, California. NWHP is a co-host of this tournament, with Rob Ahlschwede serving as tournament committee chair.
