Spots remain in the Connecticut Sports Writers’ Alliance’s Bo Kolinsky Scholarship Golf Tournament on June 28 at Lyman Orchards Golf Club in Middlefield.

 

The tournament, which will have a noon shotgun start and a shamble format, is named for the longtime high school sports editor of the Hartford Courant and past president of the Alliance who died Dec. 14, 2003 at the age of 49.

 

Entry fee of $170 includes a box lunch on the course, buffet dinner, prizes and silent and live auctions. Entry is on a first-come, first-serve basis as the first 132 entries will play the Robert Trent Jones Course and the other entries will play the Gary Player Course. Dinner only is $50.

 

Entries should include names, handicaps, shirt and hat sizes and a contact phone number or email address and sent to: Bruce Berlet, 202 Carriage Drive, Glastonbury, Ct. 06033. Those wanting to attend only the dinner should send a check to Berlet.

 

Checks should be made payable to the Bo Kolinsky Scholarship Fund, the tournament beneficiary. The Bo Kolinsky Scholarship is given to a Connecticut high school senior planning to attend a four-year college in pursuit of a career in sports journalism and is renewable. It has already provided $24,000 to eight students, three of whom are still receiving funds.

  

Anyone wishing to become a sponsor, purchase a tee sign or donate an auction item should contact Berlet at the above address, 860-633-8733 or golfwrtr@aol.com, Alliance president George Albano at 203-434-2320 or truckin114@aol.com, Bob Mayer at 860-234-4380 or Robert.mayer@patch.com or Courant sports editor Jeff Otterbein at 860-241-6434 or jottberbein@courant.com.
