Brooklawn Country Club
for members of all skill levels to play,” says Green
Superintendent Peter Bly, one of only four in the club’s
history, “but it’s also a great venue for competition.
We want to remind the world of that.”
This year’s field will be limited to 24 teams
made up of both Brooklawn members and at-large
bids comprising top golfers in the Connecticut and
Met Sections. Going forward, the plan is to gradually
grow the field, with invites going primarily to amateur
champions in Northeast. There is a minimum age of
25 and the expectation is that this year’s maximum
index of 4.5 will decrease given the caliber of golfer
that will be attracted to the competition. It is highly
likely that a senior division will be added as well.
“We hope folks will come out and watch,” says
tournament co-chair Giles Payne, a former president
of the club and longtime competitive amateur player.
“It represents a chance for Brooklawn to both give
back and, frankly, show off a bit. We feel like it all
adds up to growing the game.”
