The Hickory Sticks were three best friends: Harold Eller (course owner Mike Eller’s father), Fred Smith and John Deal. They became known as the Hickory Sticks because of the many team championships they won in what was originally called the Tennessee Open Golf Tournament. As their schedule’s permitted, they had a standing Saturday afternoon tee time, which could easily draw some onlookers. Each of the Hickory Sticks was an outstanding golfer in their own right.
