Part 2 of a shot-by-shot hickory golf course vlog featuring Connecticut hickory golfer Christian Williams and his host, KC hickory golfer Chris Harriman, playing the back nine at Swope Memorial Golf Course in Kansas City, MO. Watch the front nine at Swope Memorial here:
While golf has been played in Swope Park since 1906, the current layout was designed by legendary golf architect A.W. Tillinghast in 1934 and restored to his original specifications in 1990. The back nine is a bit longer than the front, but at 5,770 yards overall from the white tees, Swope is a short course that challenges you with elevation changes and requires precise shotmaking.
