COVER STORY: Hartford Hawks Chase Birdies Hartford's three alumni on the PGA Tour (l-r): Tim Petrovic '88, Jerry Kelly '89, and Patrick Sheehan '92 Illustration by Alan Carlstrom '99 How Buffie, Schizo, and Pooh Bear made it to the PGA Tour In college they were known as Buffie, Schizo, and Pooh Bear. Not exactly Mo, Larry, and Curly, though the three certainly shared plenty of laughs, toasts, and impromptu shenanigans. It didn't start that way for Tim Petrovic '88, Jerry Kelly '89, and Patrick Sheehan '92. In fact, the University of Hartford teammates could be downright testy with each other. Like at the opening tournament of their one spring season together in 1988, when Sheehan, the upstart freshman, and Kelly, the free-spirited junior, got into a verbal joust. Yet today they are one of only seven trios from the same college team to play in the major leagues of professional golf. Fall Weekend 2003 - Pictorial Alumni of all ages and classes converged on campus during Fall Weekend '03 to reminisce and reconnect. Plans are under way for Homecoming '04 on Oct. 15, 16, and 17. Mark your calendars now to make sure you don't miss out on the reunions and revelry.
