Dr. Joseph Gadbaw, the founder of the Grand Traverse Heritage Center’s “The Haig” golf tournament has died.  Dr. Gadbaw was present at this year’s 7th annual tournament in June and shot the first ball off the tee to start the game.

Dr. Gadbaw and his family give so much to the Grand Traverse Heritage Center, including donating ALL of the hickory sticks for the golf tournament.  We appreciate the support of the Gadbaw family through the years and will miss the father of our annual hickory stick tournament.
