NYSGA Hall of Fame
The NYSGA Hall of Fame (HOF) was established in 2012 with the mission to identify, recognize, and enshrine the state's finest amateur and professional golf competitors, as well as those who have made outstanding contributions to the game throughout New York by their careers as golf teachers, coaches, mentors, and volunteers to the game.
