If you’re into the history of golf and enjoy playing or watching others play with the equipment of yesteryear, you might want to visit the Dormie Club Tuesday and Wednesday, where the Hickory Grail is being held.

The Hickory Grail was initiated by the British Golf Collectors Society in 2000 and pits an international team and the United States in two days of Walker/Ryder Cup-style competition with hickory-shafted clubs.

The U.S. team, which was soundly defeated at Falsterbo Golf Club in Sweden in 2009, will be seeking revenge. The Americans hold a 3-2 edge in the event with one tie.

William Farmer of Dallas is the American captain, and Bobby Hansen of Pinehurst is an honorary member of the U.S. squad. North Carolinians Jay Harris and Chris Deinlen are competing for the U.S. team.

The teams assemble at the Dormie Club on Monday for an opening ceremony complete with flag raisings and national anthems. Pinehurst Mayor Virginia Fallon is scheduled to attend.

Competition takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, with six morning matches and six foursome matches in the afternoon. The event concludes on Wednesday with 12 singles matches.

Competition will be followed by a convivial dinner at the Holly Inn.

The Dormie Club, designed by the renowned architectural team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, will present a test for the teams with a combination of difficult bunkering and lightning-fast greens.

Members of the U.S. team are from Michigan, Washington, Ohio, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, New York, Virginia, New Jersey, Arkansas and Texas.

Players on the international team are from England, Scotland, France, Poland, Sweden and Finland.

Players compete with authentic equipment from the early 20th century and will be dressed in plus-fours, ties and jackets.
