ENGLISHMAN TAKES WORLD HICKORY OPEN

England’s Andrew Marshall won the World Hickory Open in October at the Carnoustie Country golf courses, firing rounds of 67-76 – 143 to claim a one-stroke victory over American amateur player Cliff Martin. The event features 118 players from 20 countries, including the USGTF’s own Mike Stevens, Southeast Region director. The Burnside and Championship courses were used for the event, which is proudly sponsored by the World Golf Teachers Federation. “The scoring was pretty good, and I’d say that was down to two or three things,” said Lionel Freedman, the event’s brainchild and chairman. “The quality of the players, first and foremost, and also the quality of the courses, which were both in superb condition, while we were blessed with very good weather on this occasion, too.” Pictured Above: Andrew with Angus Provost Helen Oswald
