The Traditions
We share the love for the historic roots of the ancient, traditional and honourable game of golf, and herewith the original "Spirit of the Game"! The pleasure and enjoyment with this actually so simple and unpretentious game – can be experienced best and truly by a recourse to traditional, historic equipment. We experience magic and historic places with our pre-1935 equipment.
The Friendship
The Hickory Grail seeks to promote an appreciation for the history and traditions of golf and to foster great friendship among its players of both teams. We share the enthusiasm for the rich history and traditions as well the rivalry when we compete against each other with our authentic clubs. This creates camaraderie, connecting both sides across the pond like no other.
