Joe was on his feet right through the dessert course introducing notables at the affair. When Pies. Harold Sargent got up to present the plaques and silver- ware tn those who were honored for their 1959 or prior accomplishments, Joe had the introductions out of the way. That, in itself, should rate some kind of a plaque. Art Wall, Jr., the plaver-of-the-year, and Boh Rosburg, the 1959 PGA Cham- pion, were grateful but not loquacious upon receiving their awards. Jock Hutchison, Sr., Paul Runyan and Harry Cooper all agreed that the disappoint- ments they may have had to endure in their golfing lives were erased when Jock Hutchison, Sr., is congratulated by they were notified that they had been Harold Sargent, PGA pres. elected to the Hall of Fame.

  • Hickory.2019.Summary1
    20th Annual Canadian Open Hickory Championship The Legends GCC Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada The 2019 Canadian Open Hickory Championship was held the week of August 12-16 at the Legends G&CC Sherwood Park, Alberta. The hickory event included a 2-day road trip on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday Scramble, Thursday USA/Canada match (Ryder Cup format) and Friday Championship tournament. 32 players made the Monday road trip to the 18 hole Barrhead GC about an hour north of Edmonton. The Barrhead Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by the renowned Les Furber. It has been included in Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” for the last three years and is remarked as a must stop for all Central Alberta golf enthusiasts. 36 players made the Tuesday road trip to the Jack Nicklaus designed Northern Bear golf course just southwest of Sherwood Park. Winner of numerous awards, the Bear is a perfect blend of tree lined fairways, strategic bunker placements, five lakes, and USGA standard greens. The Wednesday scramble really marks the beginning of the tournament because you get to play the home course, meet new players, pony up some cash and get the competitive fires burning. 60 players were categorized as A,B,C and D players and teams are created at random as evenly as possible. This years team with a -13 score featured Ken Plaunt, John Collins, Gary Proctor, Fuzz Bazinet and Darcy Riopka. Ken’s 3 year son Blake tagged along to read the putts! After the round, players and other invitees visited a local home for a burger and chicken BBQ, a drink (or two!), lots of tales told and a viewing of a golf memorabilia collection.
