November 15, 2021

Middlefield, CT—Lyman Orchards, an independently-owned family destination for over 275 years, is proud to announce that Marissa Kulig Crow—a coach at The Lyman Golf Center at Lyman Orchards—recently received the LPGA Northeast Section 2021 Teacher of the Year Award. This award is given by the Ladies Professional Golf Association’s LPGA Professionals membership.
A previous LPGA Northeast Section Teacher of the Year Award recipient, Kulig Crow has held numerous positions throughout her 27-year golfing career. Like all LPGA Class A professionals, she is an expert instructor who is uniquely qualified to teach the game. A pioneer in empowering women in the world of golf, Kulig Crow is on track to help 1,400+ women this season alone significantly raise their confidence and skill levels through her Golf Fore Women program—one of the largest programs of its kind in the nation.

“We are extremely fortunate to have Marissa as part of the golf pro team here at The Golf Center,” states Lyman Orchards Executive Vice President John Lyman. “She is an incredibly talented player who excels at helping people improve their games.”

“I am truly honored to receive this award from the LPGA for the second time,” states Kulig Crow. “I also love teaching at The Lyman Golf Center; the people who come are extremely eager to learn—and the 36 holes of championship golf provide a truly fantastic setting in which to thoroughly enjoy the game.”

Meet The Chef

At nine years old, Ben Gaffney asked if he could work alongside his father, a chef, at Congress Rotisserie in New Haven. The elder Gaffney put the boy to work washing dishes for two years, in the hope that it would discourage his interest in the restaurant business.

But a calling is a calling. Ben Gaffney has spent his life since then pursuing the wonders of food, bringing Middlefield along for the ride as chef at Lyman Orchards since 2017.
