Annual Hickory Day – Sunday 16th August – Frankston GC

A TERRIFIC DAY FOR HICKORY GOLF at Frankston Golf Club ⛳️

First played in 1983, the Society’s Annual Hickory Golf Day is one of the oldest events on the Society’s calendar.

On Sunday 16 August, a full field of members and guests embraced the spirit of the occasion, with some excellent golf played:

🏆 Doug Turek won the Frank Shepherd Trophy with 42 Stableford points, just one ahead of Adrian Lindgren on 41.

🏆 Kim Hastie claimed the Burtta Cheney Trophy with 30 points, with Heather Brodie runner-up on 28.

Guest Christian Lale-Demoz matched the day’s best score with 42 points to take guest honours.

Defending champion Andrew Thomson mounted a fine defense with 38 points, but the Frank Shepherd Trophy changed hands this year.

The scores tell only part of the story. The real pleasure was seeing a full field enter into the spirit of the day, old clubs back in play, newcomers made welcome and plenty of laughter shared along the way.

This is history, heritage and hickory at its best

We give thanks to John Trevorrow and Tim Taylor who helped bring together such an enjoyable occasion.
