Advisory board and golfers remember Todd, longtime PGA professional
Summary
Advisory board members and league players acknowledged the sudden death of Todd, the golf course PGA professional of 20+ years, sharing memories of his contributions and community support for his family.
Groton — The advisory board paused its agenda to acknowledge the sudden death of Todd, who served more than two decades as the PGA professional at the municipal golf course and was widely remembered during the meeting.
Marie introduced the item, saying the community was “shocked and deeply saddened” and urged the board to acknowledge his long service. Board members and golfers recounted visits to services and fundraisers: Marie described large turnouts at a community sale organized to help Todd’s family, and others recounted personal stories about his quiet professionalism and support for women’s golf.
Meline, who leads the women’s golf league, shared a personal anecdote about Todd’s knowledge of local membership — “Only 15% women golf,” she recalled him saying in conversation — and noted his steady support for women players and community activities. Several members praised Karen and other volunteers who organized community events and described how the club helped Todd’s family and provided support after his death.
The board agreed to place the acknowledgment under new correspondence and communications and to include a moment of silence at a future meeting. No formal action beyond the public acknowledgment was taken.
