Welcome

On behalf of the entire New York State Golf Association, welcome to the 100th New York State Men’s Amateur Championship at The Wykagyl Country Club.

The NYSGA is pleased to join with Wykagyl to conduct this historic championship. Hosting a competition of this scale requires tremendous support from club members and their professional staff and we have a terrific partner in Wykagyl.

This year’s championship marks the first time a Men’s Amateur, or any NYSGA tournament will be held at the club in New Rochelle. In fact, it’s been since 1986 at Knollwood Country Club - over 35 years - since the Men’s Amateur was hosted in Westchester County. We are proud to finally return to this golf-rich area, during our association’s centennial season and the 100th playing of our flagship event.

Wykagyl is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year. We are proud to band together and celebrate both of our milestones at this classic championship course shaped by Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast, and, most recently, Coore & Crenshaw.

As President of the NYSGA, I’d like to offer our appreciation to Wykagyl’s team for their tireless efforts in coordinating and conducting this championship with our staff. And a special thank you to the Wykagyl Board of Governors and the entire Wykagyl Country Club membership for their support of the championship.

Finally, I'd like to thank our NYSGA staff and fantastic team of tournament volunteers, who work tirelessly to provide a first-class experience and support the talented players that participate in our competitions.

We hope you enjoy this year’s championship, and we truly appreciate your support of our association.
