1st Annual Rob Novak Memorial Golf Tournament

Under sunny skies Lyman Orchards Golf Club hosted the 1^st Annual Rob Novak Memorial Golf Tournament on Monday June 8, 2009. The memorial tournament was the largest event Lyman has put on to date with a double shot gun golf tournament of 288 golfers followed by a dinner for 400 friends and family members of Rob’s.

The tournament not only commemorated the life of Rob Novak but also brought awareness to the importance of becoming an organ donor. Rob himself donated organs used to save the lives of two children.

A few heartfelt words were spoken at dinner by Rob’s
mother, Barbara, and wife, Sage, followed by an uplifting slide show of Rob and his friends and family. The event was a huge success raising an outstanding $25,000 for Novak’s two young daughter’s education funds.

Demo Day

The rain didn’t stop the golfers from coming out to Lyman Orchards Golf Club’s June 12^th Demo Day! Bridgestone, Callaway, Nike and Cobra set up on our driving range and welcomed golfers to demo their latest products.

Bridgestone offered the ‘Bridgestone Ball Challenge’ which invited golfers to step up and take a few swings to receive info regarding club and ball speed. This information was used for a ball fitting to aid customers in finding the best ball to maximize his or her distance.

Callaway, Nike and Cobra also saw many participants as well testing out their new clubs for this summer’s golf season.

Congradulations Eric and Samantha!!

Two of Lyman Orchards Junior Members were chosen to play with a PGA Tour Player. On Tuesday evening during the week of the Traveler's Championship Eric Austin and Samantha Pavano will get to Play with the Pro's. 24 Juniors were selected from Connecticut and Western Massachusetts based on how much money they raised for the Birdies For Charity fundraiser. The group as a whole raised nearly $10,000 for the local community.

We are proud of Eric and Samantha for not only helping their community, but also for getting the opportunity of a lifetime. We wish them the best of luck and hope that they play lights out on Tuesday.
