A Look Into the 2026 Amateur Series Schedule

February 20, 2026

JAMESVILLE, N.Y. -- The New York State Golf Association (NYSGA) has released its 2026 Amateur Series schedule which includes individual, flighted stroke play events conducted across the state.

This year's series will kick off at Yahnundasis Golf Club on April 27, and end with the final regular season stop at Irondequoit Country Club on Sept. 21.

*More sites will be added to the schedule as they are confirmed with the host clubs*

The fun, competitive lineup of handicapped (gross and net) stroke play events has become a popular way for NYSGA member golfers across New York to experience private golf courses, compete against others on a level and fair playing field, and earn pro shop prizes within their divisions and flights.

The events are open to NYSGA members with active, up-to-date licensed USGA Handicap Indexes. We break down each field into one of four divisions: Men, Senior Men (55+), Super Senior Men (65+), and Women. Due to stronger participation levels, the Men, Senior Men & Super Senior Men divisions are then further divided into A and B flights based on handicap.

As in years past, players will earn points towards the NYSGA Amateur Series Championship based on their net finish within their flight. A player’s points total will consist of the sum of their top 5 tournament finishes. The top 120 players on the points list by season’s end will earn invitations to compete in the 2025 Championship which will be hosted by a club/date to be announced on a future date.

Entry fees for these one-day events include greens, cart and range fees, exclusive tee gifts and prizes. The top net and gross finishers will receive prizes in the form of pro shop gift certificates at the end of each event.
