Stanley J. Ziobrowski, 87, passed away Tuesday August 22, 2023.
Stan was
born in Schenectady the son of the late Edmund and Winifred Ziobrowski and
was a lifelong area resident. He worked for 38 years as the Transportation
Supervisor at Mohonasen School District in Rotterdam. Stan leaves behind
his wife, 6 children (3 daughters and 3 sons), 14 grandchildren, 13
great-grandchildren and 3 brothers.
Stan was infected with the game of
golf at the age of 6 and it has been the central preoccupation of his life.
He started working at The Edison Club when he was 11, caddying and shagging
balls and played so well as a young man he earned a golf scholarship to
Florida State. Upon returning from Florida, Stan joined Ballston Spa
Country Club as a Junior member in 1952 to qualify to play in Saratoga
County tournaments. His best score is a 66 that he scored in the 1960's and
he has 11 holes in 1's to his credit. One of his fondest memories on the
links was playing a 13-year-old Jack Nicklaus when Stan was 16, "The Golden
Bear" getting the better of him that day. Nicklaus even mentioned the round
in his 1997 autobiography.
