The 43rd Connecticut Senior Open was a huge success. Bobby Gage of Lake Worth, Florida secured his second Senior Open victory finishing one stroke ahead of runner-up Frank Bensel.
The Senior Open has continued to be as popular as ever with competitors traveling from all over the country to compete at the “Summer Classic”.
The rescheduled Spring Pro-Pro was finally conducted at Tumble Brook C.C. in Bloomfield, Conn. Nick Calabrese of Chippanee C.C. and Donny Kirkpatrick of Wampanoag C.C. shot 8-under par to secure a one stroke victory. Dylan Keith and Ed Slattery of Sharon C.C. finished runner-up.
The popular Pro-Officer was held this year at the Shuttle Meadow C.C. in Kensington, Conn. The stableford style event saw the team from TPC River Highlands with Head Professional Ron Scheyd and Paul Molocha emerge victorious. The team from Shuttle Meadow lead by Assistant Professional Mike McCarthy and Scott Newbury finished in second place.
Special congratulations to section member Nathan Grube on another successful year as the Tournament Director for the Travelers Championship. This elevated event hosted 45 of the top 50 players in the field.
