The memory of Jay Borck lives on, more than 40 years after his passing. The former Andrew Warde High School student loved the game of golf and entertained the idea of one day becoming a professional golfer.However, Borck, a promising young 16-year-old senior at Warde, was struck with a fatal cerebral hemorrage in the Fall of 1968, just one week after winning the Brooklawn Country Club Junior Championship. The captain of the Crimson Eagles' golf team also fared well in three State Junior tournaments and a New York Metropolitan Junior tournament before his untimely death.
Conceived of and sponsored by the Jay Borck Foundation, a charitable corporation organized to honor his memory, the inaugural Jay Borck Golf Tournament was held 40 years ago this Summer. The professionally-run junior golf tournament is open by invitation to golfers aged 17 and under from the Greater Bridgeport area. This year the tournament will be held at H. Smith Richardson Golf Course, Monday, July 26, through Wednesday, July 28.
