Tim Welch Memorial Golf Tournament to be Held Sept. 14

WESTFIELD — The Tim Welch Memorial Golf Tournament, Tee Off for Tim, will be held Sunday, Sept. 14 at East Mountain Country Club in Westfield. Check-in starts at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at noon.

Tim Welch, a Holyoke native who died unexpectedly in November, was a project manager for Tandem Mechanical. He had been a plumber for 20 years and was known for mentoring apprentice plumbers.

Welch’s family is carrying on his legacy and paying tribute to his love of golf with a tournament that will raise funds for the Tim Welch Memorial Scholarship, to be awarded to a graduate of Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School who is pursuing a journeyman’s license in plumbing.

As part of the day’s activities, golfers can try their swing at the Pipe Wrench Putt, using Welch’s pipe wrench to try to sink the ball.

Sponsorships at all levels and raffle prizes are still being accepted. To donate or register a foursome, email [email protected] or visit the Tee Off for Tim Facebook page.
