The Hickory Hacker

My name is Christian Williams, better known on the golf course as The Hickory Hacker. I’m a golf historian with a high-handicap, sharing my passion for the history of the game by collecting, repairing, and playing with authentic pre-1935 wooden-shaft golf clubs. I profile golf courses from a hickory golf perspective and also sell refurbished hickory golf clubs for beginning and experienced hickory golfers alike. This channel is a video chronicle of my adventures as a hickory golf ambassador. 

I'm a member of the Society of Hickory Golfers, the Golf Heritage Society, and co-founder of both the Kansas City Area Hickory Golfers and Connecticut Hickory Golf Association. I’m currently based in Port Jefferson, NY. If you're on Long Island or in the Midwest and would like to give hickory golf a try, drop me a line. I'm also happy to offer information on any antique wooden-shaft golf clubs you might have or come across: thehickoryhacker@gmail.com
