The Win Hoyt Golf Tournament at Ekwanok Country Club is dedicated to Win Hoyt, a longtime Manchester resident and former director of the Chamber.

Win and his wife, Lyn, moved to Manchester full time in 1965, after a successful career in the advertising industry. In 1979, Win took over the Caddie Scholarship Program at Ekwanok and provided great leadership until his death in 1989. He visited local schools and promoted the idea of caddying at Ekwanok. He provided training for all newcomers, began an annual caddie banquet, introduced contests for the attendees, and oversaw the distribution of scholarships each year. If the Scholarship Fund fell below expectations, he would personally appeal to Ekwanok members for additional funds. The Scholarship Program successfully continues to this day.

This year’s tournament, held on September 22nd, 2021, will equally divide its proceeds between Bennington County Habitat for Humanity and the Manchester Community Library. Registration begins at 11:00 a.m. on site; digital registration and sponsorship opportunities are available below. Lunch begins at 11:30 and shotgun start is at 12:30.
