2024 Sewer Open Golf Tournament
Friday June 21st
|
The Sewer Open Golf Tournament has been held every year since 1988. Originally hosted at a course in Glastonbury, CT and moved to Skungamaug River Club Golf in Coventry, CT since about 1995. For 2024 the Sewer Open will be held on Friday June 21st.
The tournament consists of two foursomes on every hole for a total of 144 players for a day of networking, golf, and a picnic. There are a few interesting holes. The Closest to the Case prize is on hole no. 16 and the Hole-in-One is located at hole no. 8, which offered a $10,000 prize to any golfer that manages to make hole-in-one. Around 8 years ago, the CWPAA did have a winner and was able to deliver a check for $10,000 to the individual. The hole in one hole always needs our diligent hole-in-one volunteer judges. We are always very appreciative of the time the volunteers give to support our event and we are always looking for volunteers.

The post golf picnic is always well attended and is a great windup to what is typically a great day. During the picnic, scholarship awards are announced, the winners of the various golf events are announced, and door prizes are raffled off due to generous donations from vendors, sponsors and attendees.
This tournament is a key fundraising event for programs that the CTWEA participates in annually. The Tee Sponsorships are used to fund the Scholarship Fund, which offers scholarships to students who will be pursuing a college degree in an environmental related field. We are happy to announce we raised $3,400 for the CTWEA Scholarship Fund in 2023 through tee sponsors that will be going to four students attending college the fall. This year’s Green Sponsorships were improved to increase support for Connecticut’s Operation Challenge Team, and we were able to set a record, raising $2,800 for the Operators Challenge Team. Additionally, each year during the picnic raffle tickets are sold to Win the Driver raffle. This raised an additional $945 for the Operations Challenge Team. There are also other sponsorships that help tremendously to offset costs such as hole-in-one sponsorship, driver sponsorship, Beer at the turn sponsorship, golf ball logo sponsorship. We are grateful for our vendors, which step up and sponsor these.
The tournament director Ray Bahr at Green Mountain Pipeline Services is entering his 20th year running the tournament. He can be reached at [email protected] for additional information.
