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
