About This Year

Owing to the global environment that is discouraging flying, dining out and all normal social contact the 2020 NHC will be conducted under an unusual format in its 23rd year. Play the event’s 36 holes on the course of your choice using the template of the Championship’s original hole distances from the Oakhurst Links Course in West Virginia. Communication will be done via Zoom. Scoring will be submitted to Golf Genius. Prizes, the championship program book, and a Championship memento will be mailed to all participants after the event.

Please read the document explaining the Championship procedure and rules. The NHC Rule book for 2020 will be emailed to all entrants. Consult the ‘Guides’ document for dress code
and equipment specifications.

The NHC has always attempted to present 19th-century golf as closely as the 21st century allows us. This year, however, we will make exceptions in the manner of digital communication to conduct the event. This very well could be a first hickory golf championship staged simultaneously at multiple sites around the world.

There is no substitution for getting together, playing gutty golf, socializing, and renewing friendships but this year we’ll have to do it through satellite contact (or fiber-optic or whatever).

Play well and have fun,

Pete
