No home course required. Submit scores from any course in the world — hickory golf truly anytime, anywhere.

League Community

Grand Prize Trip

Top performers earn eligibility for the Grand Prize Golf Trip — the ultimate reward for league excellence.

WHS Handicap

Your World Handicap System index is accepted. Your league handicap is then managed through the league's proprietary HPI system.

Hickory Ha'penny Rewards

Monthly League challenges award real prizes to winners — and in the near term, those prizes take the form of Hickory Ha'pennies of significant value. Ha'pennies are the League's own rewards currency, each worth half a US cent. Winners accumulate them in a personal Hickory Wallet and can redeem them for Hawes merchandise, hickory clubs and equipment, golf travel experiences, tournament entry fees, and special sponsor offers.

Member Sponsor Discounts

Enjoy exclusive member discounts on merchandise from participating sponsors — hickory clubs, modern equipment, golf clothing, footwear, and accessories from brands that support the league worldwide.

Equipment Standards

All members must play with hickory-shafted clubs — pre-1935 originals or Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG) approved replicas such as the Hawes St Andrews West set. Questions? Contact the Commissioner.
