Misha had never played with hickories before and he was pleasantly surprised at the result. For me, it was a great way to finish the season!

I was paired with Ben and Hugh; two great gentlemen who have smooth swings and have a bucketload of knowledge about hickory sticks. Overall, it was a great round and I look forward to today’s action.
