It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Dick Bierkan.

Dick was a cherished member of our PGA family and an icon in our golfing community serving as the Head Golf Professional at Lyman Orchards Golf Club for 42 years.

Dick’s dedication to the game and... to his fellow professionals was evident to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. His contributions have left an indelible mark on Connecticut golf, both on and off the course.
