The Ranch Golf Club delivered once again for Play Day #8.
It’s no secret this has become one of the marquee stops on the PGA HOPE Connecticut Play Day schedule. Our Veterans love coming back year after year, and it’s easy to see why. The course is always in outstanding condition, the staff is second to none, and the atmosphere makes for an incredible day of golf and camaraderie.
Thirty-six PGA HOPE alumni teed it up at The Ranch. We dodged a few passing rain showers throughout the morning, but they never slowed the day down. Despite the weather, birdies were made, plenty of laughs were shared, and another outstanding Play Day is in the books.

Just two points separate first from third.
A few weeks ago it looked like Air might run away with the championship. Now Sea sits on top, Air is only one point back, and Land has quietly worked its way to within two points of the lead.
Every birdie.
Every par.
Every point.
It all matters.
A special thank you to PGA Professional Nick Tamburini and the entire staff at The Ranch Golf Club for once again rolling out the red carpet for our Veterans. Your hospitality is second to none, and The Ranch has truly become one of the marquee PGA HOPE Play Day venues. We appreciate everything you do for our Veterans and for the game of golf.
Next up, we head to Skungamaug River Golf Club, where another opportunity to earn valuable Land • Sea •Air Championship points awaits.
Until next time… remember to swing hard because if you happen to hit it, the ball might go far.
