The JA Golf Classic has earned a well-deserved reputation as the premier golf event in Central New England. From the moment you arrive at the beautiful Tumble Brook Country Club in Bloomfield, Connecticut, you and your guests will see that the JA Golf Classic is a different kind of day.
It begins when you pull in the driveway at Tumble Brook Country Club and are promptly welcomed by our staff. Once again this year you will have the opportunity to shop from the comfort of your own home ahead of the tournament. Browse the product catalog and leisurely make your selections from Adidas, Taylor Made, Titleist, and others! Please note the deadline to order items ahead is May 22. Upon arrival you will recieve your items and recieve a free sleeve of ProVI golf balls. If you haven’t shopped yet, there will also be a small pop-up shop for you to choose items from. You will then be treated to a sumptuous breakfast on the Patio. Following breakfast, test your skills at the putting contest or warm up on the driving range. Back again this year, you will be able to choose your type of play, Best Ball or Scramble. Shotgun tee-off is at 10 o’clock.
Bid on auction items throughout the day and enjoy on-course amenities including a cigar bar, on-course barbecue, and beverage bars. After your day of golf, join us back on the patio for cocktail hour followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.
We know that you will thoroughly enjoy being part of the JA Golf Classic and we invite you to join us on Monday, June 5, 2023.
You are invited to participate in a legendary day of golf like you have never experienced before.
All proceeds benefit Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement envisions a world in which young people have the skillset and the mindset to build thriving communities. JA’s powerful mission of hope, inspiration, and empowerment is accomplished using financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship learning experiences from volunteers in the local business community.
In partnership with our volunteers, JA provides support for students navigating the employment landscape in fields and industries previously unknown or seen as unattainable to them. With over 30 proven programs for K-12 students across CT, JA has become a trusted partner for educators, providing impactful programming and better life outcome for nearly 30,000 students statewide.
Choose between Best Ball or Scramble
The JA Classic is offering the choice between the traditional four ball, best-ball tournament and a scramble. Foursomes will make their selection upon registration through the BirdEase platform.
The tournament will be directed by the professional golf staff of Tumble Brook Country Club. Awards will be presented in low gross and low net categories for both best ball and scramble. In addition, there are longest-drive, closest-to-thepin and putting contests – for both men and women.
