In 1990, Ange retired, and Dave Thomas became the PGA Golf Professional. Dave and Rog er worked tirelessly to improve upon the golf course; they redesigned holes, added USGA spec green complexes, new bunkers, new teeing grounds and expanded upon the driving
In 1965, Ange Alberico, the PGA Golf Professional at the time, petitioned the board to pass the motion to expand the 9 hole course to a full 18 hole club, as well as build a new club house for the increasing membership. The motion was passed, and Roger Bugenhagen, the Grounds Superintendent, took up the mantel and designed, built and cared for the entirety of the new holes, including an additional 19 th hole, as well as the original 9.
As the club began to grow, the course was expanded to 9 holes, and Dr. Ralph Waite do nated $1,500 in 1929 to create bent grass greens.
In our 100th year, we are more than excited to welcome the NYSGA Senior Championship to our club this September.
In 1922, frequent travelers to the park, as well as local Springville business owner formed Springville Country Club, where a large portion of the Park’s grounds were turned into a small six hole golf course.
Sadly,range.in
2006, a fire claimed the Pro Shop and Cart Barn. Dave and Roger were able to de sign a new Pro Shop, as well as a more cohesive cart barn, to allow for more club storage. Presently, Springville Country Club boasts a full membership, playing more than 20,000 rounds per year on our 19 wonderfully maintained golf holes.
Prior to becoming a golf course, the grounds the club sits on today was known as Cascade Park. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, men, women and children would climb aboard the railroad bound for Cattaraugus. The train would stop at Cascade Park, where there was a pavilion that could house more than 300 people, a merry go round and acookhouse, locat ed near the present day #4 and #15.

The beginnings of Springville Country Club can trace its roots directly to the Buffalo, Roch ester and Pittsburgh railroad.

“It’s fantastic,” Russo said after the victory. “Anytime you win, no matter what tournament you’re in, it’s great and when it’s a state thing it makes it even better. There’s a lot of good players and I’m humbled and fortunate enough to come out on top.”

“It’s very difficult to play with a bigger lead because everyone expects you to win,” Russo said. “As much as you try not to think about that it creeps in. Then you start to hit the ball horrendously, and now a couple doubts creep in.”
He described how he felt the momentum shift during that stretch toward his opponent, Kevin VandenBerg of Tuscarora Golf Club.
Russo was the only player to card two rounds under par, though he admitted his last round was tough, especially towards the end of the back nine. Russo entered his final round with a six-stroke lead.

“I told Dan, this is hopefully the first of many duels be tween Dan and myself in the future,” VandenBerg said. “Dan’s a great player. I knew it was going to be an uphill battle today.”
Dennis Lynch
“I hung in there, kept making pars and then I had to do a little calculation on the seventeenth green and found out I was only one back,” VandenBerg said.
VandenBerg shot four-over 214 (68-74-72) over three rounds and nearly overcame a six-stroke deficit to begin the round. He kept pace with Russo throughout today’s round despite a cou ple shots not going his way on the back.
(hole) twelve everything seemed to be okay, then all of the sudden I couldn’t hit a golf shot.”
VandenBerg’s drive on the eighteenth hole drew to the right. His next shot hit the front side of the green, but wouldn’t stop and rolled nearly back down into the fairway. That set up a lengthy putt that could have po tentially sent he and Russo into a playoff. The putt came close, but missed the cup as Russo was able to calmly tap in a par to secure the championship.
Kevin VandenBerg
Though Russo was able to carry the momentum he built throughout the first two rounds to the end and come out on top. He won the championship by one stroke. “It’s very difficult to win at any level so I’m thrilled,” Russo said. “The first round I putted fairly well. The second round I hit the ball well, and today was just none of the above. It happens.”
Vandenberg finished as the runner-up in his first year eligible at the senior amateur. “It was a good week. I qualified Monday for the U.S. Senior Am in Detroit, then finished second here,” VandenBerg said. “Today was just kind of an average day. It was nothing really outstand ing. Nothing really bad, nothing really good, but happy to finish runner-up.”

Dean dedicated his title to Betty Deeley, a long-time NYSGA chairwom an for over 40 years. Deeley and Dean would always connect during tournaments when she was officiating. She was inducted into the NYSGA Hall of Fame in 2012.

Dean started his back nine with three birdies in his first four holes, with a double-bogey sandwiched in between. He would go back and forth between birdies and bogeys for near ly the rest of the round. Though he bogeyed on 18, Dean was able to finish with a comfort able victory.
2021 CHAMPIONSHIP
“It was like that all day,” Dean said. “Luckily we made it through 18 and the dust settled and I was four ahead. I had (almost) zero pars on the back nine, that’s a first for me. Four birdies and that was enough.”
“The putting was good, it was very good,” Dean said. “The putting was as good as it has been in the last two days. Today I made the short putts. I made a couple 20 footers for birdies. I hit a couple good shots on ten, eleven, twelve.”
