New Britain, Conn., July 1, 2022 – The Golden Kielbasa Veterans Open, the state’s premier veterans charity golf event hosted by the Disabled American Veterans, Hardware City Chapter 8 and presented by Liberty Bank, will return once again on Friday, October 7 to Tunxis Plantation Country Club.

“We are thrilled to be back for our second year with Liberty Bank, whose support has elevated this event to signature status on the calendar of veterans and their supporters across Connecticut,” said Tournament Director Dennis Buden. “We expect a huge turnout to join in the fun and fundraising.”
Golf registration is $175 per player, which includes range, greens fees, cart, premium gift bag, lunch and beverages on the course, prizes and post-golf dinner, silent auction and raffle. The shotgun start will be at 11 a.m. Dinner-only registration will also be available soon.
