We extend our sincere gratitude to all host facilities and certified PGA professionals whose dedication made this year’s success possible.In 2025, the Northeastern New York PGA Section operated nine PGA HOPE programs, graduating 136 veterans. This brings our total number of graduates to 598 since the program’s inception—an achievement that reflects the strength and growth of our veteran community.Our PGA HOPE Play Day program also saw tremendous success. These Play Days provide program graduates with the opportunity to enjoy complimentary golf at seven participating facilities. This year, 180 veteran graduates took part, culminating in a memorable end-of-season outing at Leatherstocking Golf Course, where 52 veterans joined us for a final celebration on the course.Thank you to each our of PGA HOPE Programs, lead certified professionals, and Play Day hosts:PGA HOPE Programs:PGA HOPE Valatie - Hudson Valley Indoor Golf - Evan Silkworth, PGAPGA HOPE Guilderland - Western Turnpike Golf Course - Noel Gebauer, PGAPGA HOPE Johnstown - Fox Run Golf Club - Rich Scott, PGAPGA HOPE Saratoga Springs - Saratoga Lake Golf Club - Jeff Betti, PGAPGA HOPE Amsterdam - Amsterdam Municipal Golf Course - Scott Warren, PGAPGA HOPE Ticonderoga - Ticonderoga Golf Course - George Mackey, PGAPGA HOPE Berkshires - Waubeeka Golf Links - Erik Tiele, PGAPGA HOPE Hudson - New York Golf Park - Lucas Cohen, PGAPGA HOPE Herkimer - MV Golf & Events Center - Mark Lane, PGAPGA HOPE Play Day Facilities:Van Schaick Island Country ClubFox Run Golf ClubBrookhaven Golf CourseMohawk Golf ClubWaubeeka Golf LinksTiconderoga Golf CourseLeatherstocking Golf CourseCoverE-Z-GO Digital Sponsorship ADROLEX AD SPREADYAMAHA AD SPREADFAIRWAY IQ AD SPREADPUKKA AD SPREADGOLF GENIUS SOFTWARE AD SPREADTOPTRACER ADPGA EXPO #1 & #2 AD SPREADPresident’s MessageAHEAD ADREACH GOLFERS ADMOTOCADDY AD SPREADCOASTAL NETTING/TEX-NET ADContents 1E-Z-GO ADContents 2GHOST GOLF ADContents 3PRESTWICK GOLF GROUP ADContents 4WITTEK ADGOLFZON AD SPREADCERTIFRESH CIGAR AD SPREADThe BuzzSUMMIT BRANDS ADBIOESQUE SOLUTIONS ADUNEEKOR AD SPREADShort Game 1YRI CUSTOMSGOLF RANGE NETTING ADShort Game 2GHURKA ADPGA GOLF RETIREMENT PLUS ADShort Game 3STROKES GAINED ADRHONE #1 ADShort Game 4TRUE TEMPER ADGOLF WEB DESIGN ADTHE INDOOR GOLF SHOP ADBy The Numbers 1TRAVELING THE FAIRWAYS ADBy The Numbers 2SWING CONTROL ADPro to Pro 1RAPSODO ADSELECTpi ADPro to Pro 2SHADE HEADWEAR ADCAP PATROL ADPro to Pro 3SANSOLEIL ADPUNTA CANA RESORT & CLUB ADMedia WatchBAUER INTERNATIONAL ADPGA Show Pre-PreviewTECHNOGYM AD 1TECHNOGYM AD 2PGA Show Pre-Preview 2Recommended ReadingBELYN KEY ADHealth & WellnessGOLF TOURISM SOLUTIONS ADAnnual Meeting-1: ReviewAnnual Meeting-2: AwardsPGA.com AD (Value Guide)Annual Meeting-3: HOFUST/MAMIYA ADREACH: NYC MarathonPGA PSA #1 [HOPE 4 HEROES]Cover Story 1NETTING BUILDERS ADCover Story: Career ConsultantsPGA CAREER SERVICES ADCover Story: RoundtableCASA DE CAMPO ADCover Story: Case Studies 1STERLING CUT GLASS ADCover Story: Case Studies 2TAGMARSHAL ADCover Story: Case Studies 3PERFECT GOLF EVENT ADCover Story: Case Studies 4DEMO DAY ADAsst.
