NASHUA – James Pleat wasn’t the only local golfer seeking a threepeat this summer.

Don’t forget about Tommy Ethier.

The former Bishop Guertin and Bentley University standout will be seeking his third straight Nashua City Golf champioship this weekend.

The tournament, which includes some of the better golfers in the area, is a two-day event. The first round will be on Saturday at Nashua Country Club – Ethier’s home course – and the second round is at Sky Meadow.

A threepeat has happened only once in the tournament’s 62-year history, as Chuck Tryder won it from 1987-89. Some 33 years later, Ethier hopes to snare the John B. Wollen Trophy for the third straight year.

And it’s a trophy that is special for him.

“There have been a lot of great players to play this tournament before me,” Ethier said. “My grandfather, the Pleats and many more that came in between.

“What makes golf the hardest game is finding your game week after week. It’s the hardest game to consistenly replicate. To do it three years in a row would be very special.”

Ethier won last year with a two-day total of 141, 2-under par. He beat out Sky Meadow’s Rick Moreau by a shot while another former BG golfer, Cam Sheedy, was third at an even par 143.

Bob Lind, the former Alvirne High School golf coach, captured the Senior Division title.
