The New York State Golf Association’s New York State Amateur Golf Championship schedule for the upcoming centennial season will include two events hosted locally.

 

The 66th New York State Men’s Senior Amateur Championship will be held at New Hartford’s Yahnundasis Golf Club, Sept. 11-13. The club, founded in 1898, and golf course later designed by famed architect Walter Travis, has hosted 12 Association championships: Men’s Senior in 1946; Women’s Amateurs in 1932, 1950, 1977 and 2018; with the Women’s Mid-Am, Men’s Amateur in 1946, 1953, 1958, 1968 and 2007; and Men’s Mid-Amateur in 1998 and 2017. Yahnundasis was the founding site of the New York State Golf Association in August 1923, and early club member Sherrill Sherman was its first president. The Association will host a Centennial Celebration at the founding club during this championship in September.

 

The 12th New York State Men’s Amateur and 11th Senior Amateur Four-Ball Championships will be split up for the first time in 2023. They will both be contested at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, May 21-22, utilizing Shenendoah Golf Club designed by Rick Smith and Kaluhyat Golf Club designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The two championship fields will play one competitive round on each golf course.

 

Additionally, a new Super Senior championship division will be added to the Senior Four-Ball for players ages 65 and older. Kaluhyat hosted the 2015 Men’s Amateur and Shenendoah was the venue for the 2006 PGA National Club Professional Championship.
