Vintage golfer Bill Wardwell, a longtime member at the Country Club of Greenfield, shot the Hickory course record Wednesday by firing a 73 from the white tees.

The record is based on Wardwell using hickory-shafted clubs, representative of the era in which those clubs were played. Wardwell is a renowned hickory golfer, with a few nationally recognized championship titles to his name. He is a founding member of the Hickory Golfers of Massachusetts, as well as a member of the Society of Hickory Golfers.
