The CSGA One Day Tournaments have long been a
way for Connecticut golfers of all ages and abilities
to participate in a fun yet competitive atmosphere.
For the first time since its inception, the CSGA will
conduct a total of fourteen One Day Tournaments at
some of Connecticut’s best courses.
The 2015 One Day Tournament season will
once again kick off at Wethersfield Country Club on
April 13th. Always in excellent playing condition,
Wethersfield Country Club is renowned as the site
of the Insurance City Open/Greater Hartford Open
for 32 years from 1952 until 1983. To say the list
of names who played and won at Wethersfield is
impressive is an understatement - Arnold Palmer
won his first PGA Tour event in the United States,
Sam Snead won in 1956 and Billy Casper became
the first player to win a PGA Tour event four times
- just to name a few.
Wethersfield CC is followed by consecutive
trips to a pair of Connecticut’s most storied clubs New Haven Country Club on April 20th and Country
Club of Waterbury on April 27th. Among the fourteen
events, two of the events will also be Four-Ball Team
Events - May 11th at Chippanee Country Club and
September 1st at Skungamaug River Golf Club.
The season will conclude with the 14th One
Day Championship at Shennecossett Golf Course
(pictured left). Founded in 1898 and designed by
famed architect Donald Ross, Shennecossett Golf
Course is perched between the Long Island Sound
and Thames River and combines incredible water
views with a challenging set of green complexes.
The top five finishers in each division, gross and net,
at each One Day event throughout the season will
receieve an invitation to compete in the seasonending championship.
The One Day Player of the Year Race, sponsored
by Chris Cote’s Golf Shop, will also be decided at
Shennecossett, where a total of $4,000 in golf shop
credit will be distributed to the top point finishers.
The entry fee for each One Day Tournament is
$75 and includes golf, cart and prizes. Registration
opens six days prior to the event at 6:00 a.m. on the
CSGA website at csgalinks.org
