ABOUT US

Greetings!

With friends, we founded The Honorable Company of Hickory Golfers (in Illinois) in 2013.

As most of our outings were pre-1900s, we decided to dive deeper into the history of the featherie balls and make them ourselves. The Honorable Company now hosts a spring 

event—The Oddball—and a fall event—The Last Bash—each year, both of which include featherie golf since 2016.

 

Once you try featherie golf, the more you will appreciate what golf truly was, and what it can still be. 

 

Far and sure,

Denny and Cathy Lane
