Mancuso will serve as an officer on the NYSGA’s Executive Committee, offering legal guidance and oversight to support the NYSGA’s mission to engage, embrace and enhance the New York State Golf community.

Mancuso is a partner and member of the Executive Committee at Hancock Estabrook, LLP, where he practices in the Banking & Finance and Corporate sectors. He brings a wealth of legal and organizational expertise to the NYSGA, having been selected Syracuse’s 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” for Corporate Law. Mancuso has also appeared on the Best Lawyers in America list for five consecutive years.

“As a lifelong player and supporter of the game of golf, I am excited and honored by the opportunity to serve as General Counsel and an officer on the Executive Committee of the NYSGA," said Mancuso. "I look forward to furthering the organization’s mission of promoting and conserving the traditions of golf throughout the State, and I am eager to apply my years of legal experience and club management to the benefit of the NYSGA.”

Mancuso, who is a Syracuse University alumnus, previously served on the board at Onondaga Golf and Country Club for many years, and during his tenure as President worked closely with the NYSGA when the club hosted the 2022 New York State Men’s Amateur Championship.

"We’re excited to welcome Joe to the NYSGA board in this crucial role," said NYSGA President, Jamie Miller. "His proven legal acumen, leadership experience and passion for the game make him an ideal fit to help guide our efforts moving forward."
