Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

A little brotherly love

August
29

So in between dodging the raindrops here at The Barclays, we’ve spent a fair amount of time watching tournament coverage on the Golf Channel.

I noticed this morning they put up a leaderboard from this week’s 94th Met Open, which Andrew Giuliani won just up the road at Ridgewood Country Club. There was room enough on the abbreviated list for Jerry Courville Jr., Andrew Svoboda and Brett Jones.

Then came the notables.

I get why Greg Bisconti was on the list. He was the lowest club pro at the PGA Championship. I had to think for a second why Tim Hegarty showed up. The former Briarcliff Manor resident who plays out of Sleepy Hollow just happens to be the brother of Golf Channel producer Matthew Hegarty.

    The rain has stopped falling much like all the other great reporters at “TJN”!!! I’m glad you’re still around!!
    Shame on “TJN” for letting go of “our” family of reporters!
    We’ll miss Jane and Ernie!
    It’s sad but there is some REAL dead weight that is still on this payroll that I would dump in a heart beat!
