The Australian Golf Heritage Society (AGHS) has decided to follow up the success of the recent World Sand Green Championships run by Golf NSW with a new Sand Green Event using 100+ year old hickory clubs.
The Championship will be hosted by Portland Golf Club which is appropriate as the Club recently celebrated its Centenary. The course is a combination of traditional links and parkland elements which gives the golfer a truly enjoyable experience and well set up for hickory play.
The event will be over 18 holes on Sunday 9th March, with a 10am start.
Portland is a leisurely 3 hour drive from Sydney, just west of Lithgow.
The other significant hickory event coming up is the NSW Hickory Championship hosted by the Forster/Tuncurry Golf Club, scheduled for Sunday 6th to Tuesday 8th April.
