Joe Parrillo resigning from the Connecticut State Golf Association was sad news.
Now, unfortunately, comes tragic news.
Tex Kane, a longtime member of the Connecticut Section PGA, has died at 64 after a bout with cancer. He was a terrific instructor at several courses in the region and had been the head pro at Hunter Memorial Golf Course in Meriden since 1996.
Hopefully, Tex was coherent enough near the end to know that his beloved 10-man Hunter team won the New England Public Links Championship on Tuesday in Rhode Island.
Somewhere Tex is smiling about that one, but we'll all frowning about losing another good man. RIP, Tex!!!!
On behalf of all of our family, thank you so much for those kind words about Tex. His death has left a big hole inthe heart of our family. We are honored to know he was loved and is missed by his golfing family as well. Debs Hoffman ( sister)
