Friends establish Ryan Lee Memorial Scholarship

Starting from scratch, group looks for donors to contribute to scholarship fund.

Parents and friends knew Ryan Lee as a wonderful son and a fine young man. Players and spectators knew Ryan as the official starter on the 10th tee of the Stan Trojanowski Memorial Golf Tournament. Competitors knew Ryan as a two time champion and someone overflowing with talent and potential.

Following a decorated career at Berlin High School on both the varsity golf team and varsity basketball team, Ryan continued his golf career at Long Island University. As a Division I collegiate golfer, Ryan embodied the most important traits of a successful person, both on and off the golf course. Ryan was persistent and determined, and always eager to learn. He never got angry on or off the course, and always showed the utmost respect for the game of golf. He garnered invaluable life lessons from his time as a collegiate golfer, and there is no doubt Ryan could have done anything in this world.

The Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior is proud to announce the Ryan Lee Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded each year to one competitor at the Players Dinner. The scholarship is intended for those young men and women wishing to play collegiate golf and who also portray the same honor and appreciation for the game of golf as Ryan.
