Bro-BÃ¥lsta Hickory Open

Considered to be the major hickory golf championship around Stockholm, this two- year old event will be held on June 7 at Bro-BÃ¥lsta GK, which is the home golf course of Annika Sorenstam. Defending champion is Ulf Redestad from Stockholm,
who last year played the 5,935 meter long course with an impressive score of 79 (par = 73). The day prior the championship, on Sweden's national day, Swedish and Finnish hickory golfers will compete against each other for the prestigious Nordic Hickory Match, which also will be held at the same golf club. Members of the BGCS and their guests are warmly welcome to participate in Bro-BÃ¥lsta Hickory Open. For entries and further information, please contact the organiser Patric Andersson at email address hickory.bbgk@telia.com.
