January

ELMSFORD, N.Y. (January 26, 2009) — February is here and with The Masters right around the corner and the U.S. Open at Bethpage on Long Island in June, we all have the itch to get back out on the golf course. The problem? Another two months of ice and snow before any of us can pull the clubs out of the basement. Fortunately for Met Area golfers there is a number of facilities across the region that can cater to the avid golfer this winter.

ELMSFORD, N.Y. - Every month MGA Senior Director of Rules and Competitions Gene Westmoreland will answer one question posed by the readers of the MGA e-Revision Newsletter (click here to sign up). Ed from Westchester County asked Gene the following Rules question:

Elmsford, N.Y. (January 5, 2009) - Congratulations to Sumit Khetan and Ryan Porter from The First Tee of Nassau County for being designated as The First Tee Scholars Class of 2009. Special recognition goes to Lieneke Matte for her efforts in applying.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (January 30, 2008) - Three First Tee of Metropolitan New York sites have each received a $5,000 grant from the PGA of America Foundation and golf legend Jack Nicklaus. The sites, The First Tee of Nassau County, The First Tee of Essex County, and The First Tee of Metropolitan New York at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, were awarded the grants because they use PGA Professionals to instruct participants.
