STILL TIME - To Send in Your Nominations!

There is still plenty of time to take a moment and send in a nomination of a fellow section professional for a 2019 NENY PGA Section Special Award!

Deadline is: December 31, 2019!

Please feel free to check out the webpage below with specific criteria & eligibility of each award and you can also download a formal form to submit. Section staff will take nominations via phone, email and text as well for your convenience.

As the NENY PGA Section staff, committees and leadership are deep into Committee planning we will be occassionally sending out a few surveys as data/stats and a more complete picture of information will assist in our membership program planning.

Below is a link that we're hopeful to gather a well rounded view of our PGA facilities "major" events/competitive playing opportunities. The survey should take less than 5 minutes and only includes 5 questions - some of which may not even apply to your specific facility.

Thank you in advance!
