HARWINTON, CT – The Connecticut Carwash Association’s (CCA) 17th Annual Golf Classic, September 23, at the picturesque and challenging Fairview Farm Golf Course here was a hole in one, according to CCA Golf Chairperson Todd Whitehouse. “You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day,” said Whitehouse. “Our attendees had a great experience, we presented our Legislator of the Year award to a first-class legislator and everything just clicked. This venue is just amazing.”
The 18-hole event moved from Topstone Golf Course in S. Windsor to the venue in Harwinton to take advantage of its challenging course and breathtaking vista. The outing included breakfast, lunch and dinner, extensive raffle prizes and a chance to win a lease on a car courtesy of Mitchell Auto Group in Simsbury. “It’s really a great outing for the money,” said Whitehouse. “We have purposefully kept our registration fee low so it is affordable to members and non members alike.” Seventy-three golfers participated in the event.
