Epson Tour, part of the ‘road to the LPGA,' to stop in Connecticut again
MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The Epson Tour will be making a stop in Connecticut again, and this year, it will be even bigger. Maisie Filler, a Bloomfield native, helped tee off today's announcement about the Hartford HealthCare Women's Championship, a stop on the Epson Tour known as 'The Road to the LPGA.' Hartford HealthCare's 33rd annual Black & Red Gala 'It's awesome to play at home,' Filler said. 'I'll have so many friends and family coming out to support.' Hartford HealthCare will provide breast and skin cancer screenings and will hold a golf swing clinic during the tournament, which will be held at the Great River Golf Club in Milford. The proceeds from the tickets will be going to support the Hartford HealthCare 'Swim Across the Sound,' a program that supports cancer patients and their families, according to Dr. Stephanie Alessi-LaRosa, a doctor of sports neurology for Hartford HealthCare. Filler used to have lower back pain before she adjusted her swing, which sports medicine physician Dr. Jordan Gruskay of the Connecticut Orthopedic Institute says is one of the most common injuries along with elbow and wrist pain. Things like overuse, gripping the club too tight and trying to swing too hard every time can cause some of these issues, Gruskay said. Hartford HealthCare and Quinnipiac University launch nursing program So instead, he says play like a pro. Maintain good posture and a nice smooth swing. 'The swing has nice tempo,' Gruskay said. 'There's no violent parts to it. It's all nicely controlled.' The Hartford HealthCare Women's Championship is from July 10 to July 13, 2025. But there are also events at the Milford golf club leading up to that tournament play. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
