71st Connecticut Senior Amateur
D
ave Szewczul of Tunxis Plantation
Country Club used a final round
67 to charge up the leaderboard
and capture the 71st Connecticut
Senior Amateur. The two-day, 36-hole stroke play
championship was contested September 26th &
27th at Madison Country Club in Madison, Conn.
and was open to Connecticut senior golfers who
are fifty-five years of age and over.
After opening with a two over-par round of
72 on day one, Szewczul began his quest for his third
Senior Amateur title two strokes behind overnight
leader Bill Hermanson of Black Hall Club. With ten
players within four strokes of the lead heading into
the final round, the path to victory for the eventual
champion would certainly not be an easy one.
Szewczul, who started on the 3rd hole in the
shotgun start format, found himself behind early
after a bogey on the short par-4 5th hole. Although
he was able to recover with a birdie on the 6th hole,
a missed opportunity on the drivable par-4 7th hole
