1st Annual Thomas Curran, Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament | Brownson Country Club | Shelton CT | September 18, 2011

The first annual Tom Curran, Sr. Memorial Golf tournament will be held on Sunday, September 18, 2011, at Brownson Country Club, Shelton (Huntington) CT.

Tom passed away in June 2010.  His family has formed this tournament in his memory at Brownson Country Club, a club he loved, promoted, and vigorously supported for over 40 years.



Tom was a true philanthropist who helped many in and around his community of Shelton CT as well as in the towns of Westport and Stratford, where he developed and ran his car dealerships representing eight franchises, including Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Truck, Pontiac, Volkswagen and Isuzu.



I was fortunate to have known Tom as a neighbor, customer, and friend.  He frequently went out of his way to get us tickets to the annual auto show in New York each year as my son has always been an avid car buff.  As busy as he was, he would occasionally stop by to deliver some auto related ‘goodies’ to my son.  

 

I personally miss our chats out on the street as I was working in the yard or walking my dog.  

Tom was generous, kind, and a man of unparalleled integrity.  His absence has created a noticeable void in our neighborhood and Shelton community.



Proceeds of this benefit will be directed to the Valley Community Foundation to ensure Tom’s legacy of philanthropy continues to benefit others.



Details of the golf tournament are as follows:

11:30 a.m.       Lunch and Pairings Drawing (True ABCD Blind Draw)
1:00 p.m.         Shotgun Start

Tournament Format:
Best 2 Balls, Gross & Net of Foursome

Open Bar, Hors D’oeuvres, Stations Dinner and Awards to Follow

ENTRY:  $100

There will be prizes for team results, closest to the pin, long drives, and some other surprises.



For further information, contact event coordinator, Tom Hurley thurl56@gmail.com



Deadline for entry is Tuesday, September 13.



Please come out and play some golf at the 1st Annual Thomas Curran, Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament at Brownson Country Club, Shelton CT  on  Sunday, September 18, 2011, to honor the memory of my friend Tom Curran.

Barbara,

Ver nice tribute to a really great man. I really like the goldf ourse pictures. I hope you folks get a great turn out for this charity golf fund raiser to honor your friend. 

Thank you for the comment about the historic homes tour in Katy. We are lucky here as this group is trying to preserve historic homes, etc, and we have another group trying to preserve the land. Have a great day.

Bob -- I took the pictures of Brownson golf course at a tournament this past week.  This was Tom's course for over 40 years so this is a very fitting venue.  I am sure it will be a very good turnout honoring a man who did a lot for the Shelton community.

George -- I do as well. Thanks

Deb -- He was a great guy.   I had a very obscure problem with one of the cars I purchased from him.  After many times in service trying to figure it out, Tom stepped in, took the car, gave me a loaner and said, you'll get it back when it's fixed.  It took a few weeks because it was an intermittent issue, but yes, it was fixed with no recurrence.  His customer service was impeccable.

Joan -- His family picked a very fitting tribute. Having people his beloved game of golf and party and socialize at such an outrageously low price!

Larry & Sheila -- It is a GREAT way to pay tribute to a man who did a lot for Brownson and the community of Shelton and surrounding areas.

Melissa -- The tournament supports the Valley Community Foundation that reaches out to many causes in the area where Tom lived.  I think it's going to be a great turnout!
