SPONSOR A HOLE FOR THE BRAKETTES/JOAN JOYCE “PITCH AND PUTT” GOLF TOURNAMENT

April 12 - The Stratford Brakettes are anxiously awaiting the start of their 75th consecutive season of women's fastpitch softball, making the team the longest running program in the world! And we are happy to announce that one of the season highlights will be the fourth annual Brakettes/Joan Joyce “Pitch and Putt” golf tournament on Saturday, June 26th at Stratford's Short Beach par-3 golf course. The course is located one-half mile down Main Street from Frank DeLuca Hall of Fame Field. The shot gun format has three flights scheduled for 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and 12 p.m. The rain date is Saturday, July 10.

Hole sponsorship is available for all nine holes for only $50. Sponsors get their names listed in both the Brakettes regular season and national tournament brochures. In addition, they will receive the team's 7-day pass, which is good for ONE ADMISSION to seven regular season home doubleheaders of your choice. If we have multiple teams playing that date, you can make a career out of it and stay all day.

All proceeds from the event go directly to the operating costs for the Stratford, Junior, and new Select Brakettes teams.

Joan Joyce is the greatest women's softball pitcher in the history of the game, having played her career with the Raybestos Brakettes from 1956-75. She won a total of 429 games in addition to capturing 8 national tournament Most Valuable Player Awards and being named first-team All-America 15 times.

Joyce is the first and only softball coach at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. After her softball playing days were finished, she played 19 years on the LPGA tour. You will find more information about Joan on our website. If you also wish to play, download the Tournament Brochure and sign-up form. Joan will be present at the tournament, talking with every foursome and offering some pointers and presenting the awards.
