Dave Szewczul – 2010 Connecticut Golf Hall Of Fame Inductee

Dave Szewczul has been playing in the top echelon of state golf for thirty-five years. Dave used a runner-up finish in the 1975 Connecticut Amateur to future Hall of Fame member William Lee to jumpstart an amateur career that continues to this day. Over the years Szewczul has won seven individual state titles, six four-ball crowns, and most recently a New England championship. 2010 was arguably his best year thus far. Szewczul began the year with a victory in the Senior Match Play Championship, followed that up with a win in the Connecticut Senior Open and finished the year off with a victory at the New England Senior Amateur. Along the way, he also advanced to the second round of the US Senior Amateur and won the Connecticut Senior Four-Ball Championship. In his career, Szewczul has participated in sixteen USGA national championships, two British Amateurs, and a US Senior Open where he played a practice round with Arnold Palmer. For the past two years he has also earned the CSGA Senior Player of the Year award named in honor of Hall of Fame member Dick Siderowf.
