On Saturday, June 13th, 2026, the 2026 Tour of the Brookfields held the Toomey-Lovett Classic at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club in Oakham, MA. The weather was spectacular for golf and the course looked and played great.

Our longtime sponsor was Jim Lovett, who has supported the Tour of the Brookfields for many years – and we are very lucky to have had him suppporting us! This event was our biggest yet in 2026 – we had 95 players on 24 teams that were competing in three divisions. Unfortunately we did have one player no-show, but that team went on to compete well as a threesome. Kudos to their sportsmanship – John Markey, Brian Leveille, and Dennis Miner! As you’ll see, they came in a close third in their division.

So, let’s get to the results!

2026 Toomey-Lovett Classic Results

The three divisions were extremely competitive yet again. Two of the three divisions were decided by two strokes, and one by just one stroke. There were no playoffs.

Nicklaus Division

In the Nicklaus Division, the sponsor team of Ken Jurczyk, Gary Donlin, Jim Lovett, and Lynn Morin won with the best score of any team in the tournament. They shot an exceptional 12-under par! Two strokes back , in second place, were two teams at 10-under par:

• Scott Fairbanks, Nelson Malin, Jay Gregory, and Chris Waugh
• Matt Paakkonen, Bill Babineau, Ken Burnham, and Tina Burke

Player Division

In the Player Division, the team of Jim Kularski, Rich Johnson, Matt McLeod, and Patty Kularski delivered a great score of 9-under par to seize victory. In second place, the team of Mike Ellis, Bob DeMaio, David Burke, and Steve Saunders took second place with 7-under par.

Palmer Division

Finally, in the Palmer Division, the team of Amanda Pierce, Jake Malin, Johnny Wheeler, and Doug Brown came out on top with an excellent score of 10-under par. Close but just 1 stroke behind them was the team of Brian Lacroix, Beth McCann, Doug Judd, and Jim Parker.

Skins and Closest to the Pin on the 17th Hole

As usual, we also ran a skins contest within each division. There were 13 total skins awarded: four in the Nicklaus Division, five in the Player Division, and a four in the Palmer Division. The winners are as shown on the consolidated list below.

Jamie McShera was the winner of the closest to the pin contest at 9′ 6″.

Big Congrats again to the winners and thanks to all the players!

The Next Tournament and Some Notes

Special thanks once again to Jim Lovett for his longtime and dedicated sponsorship of this event.

Also, as always, a special thank you to Carl Fitz, Colleen Fitz, Matt Paakkonen, and all the staff at Quail Hollow who work so hard to make the Tour of the Brookfields possible.

THE NEXT EVENT IS JULY 11th. SIGN UP BY JULY 5TH!

The next tournament is on Saturday, July 11th at Quail Hollow. It will be the 308 Lakeside Open – another very-highly attended event at Quail Hollow. The signups for this event will close on Sunday, July 5th.

Sign ups will be coming down on July 5th or when we are full, which ever comes FIRST!

That usually happens VERY QUICKLY and we expect the event to fill up!

If you want in, sign up early at Still Harts, at Quail Hollow, or on the Tour of the Brookfields Facebook page! When its full, its full!

A FEW REQUESTS:

First, thanks everyone for being timely in arriving. It helps us to get going much faster, please keep that going!

Second, if you want to sign up, PLEASE use one of the three sign up opportunities (Still Harts, at Quail Hollow, or on the event section of the Tour of the Brookfields Facebook page).

Texts do sometimes get lost or buried…so please use the lists!

If you sign up and have to drop, please try to let us know by the Tuesday before the event. After we make teams when someone drops and that person could have let us know before we picked teams – well, that is a completely avoidable pain for the committee. I do try to post a list on Facebook of who has signed up right before we take the signups down. That way, folks can be reminded and helps to verify the list. PLEASE sign up early!

Remember, to qualify for the FINALS you need to play in at least three of the 6 regular season events. Just 3 events are left to play in before the FINALS – so plan accordingly!

Lastly, I managed to take a few photos:

Thanks again to all the players and we will see you soon.

REMEMBER – all updates on the results of our events can be found here on this blog throughout the year leading up to the FINALS!
