The Canadian Open Hickory Championship
The annual Canadian Open Hickory Championship is hosted by the Legends Golf and Country Club and features players dressed in period style outfits (plus fours, tams, etc.) and playing with hickory-shafted golf clubs. A fun and competitive tournament all rolled into one, a great time is had by all with many players returning year after year. Many players come early or stay on to play at some of the local/mountain golf courses or to see the sights and make an extended holiday out of their trip.
