John Konsek<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residence: Pawley’s Island, S.C.<\/p>\n

Konsek lead his team to three Big 10 Championship titles in 1958, 1959 and 1960. While at Purdue, Konsek also played in three head-to-head matches against a young Jack Nicklaus and defeated him two out of three times they played.<\/p>\n

In 1961 Konsek turned down an invitation to compete in the Masters Invitational as it conflicted with his studies at the University of Buffalo.

Ross immigrated to the United States in spring of 1899. He arrived in Boston, Massachusetts to build and run the Oakley Golf Club.

While at Pinehurst, Ross designed and rebuilt four courses at the Pinehurst resort and took special care with the layout of Pinehurst No. 2. His work at Pinehurst lead to a lifelong practice of designing and building courses throughout New England, the Midwest and down the Southeast coast. Ross did much of his design and renovation work at home in a cottage behind the third green at Pinehurst due to travel constraints. Ross designed or renovated 30 courses in New York State including arguably one of his greatest designs Oak Hill Country Club.<\/p>\n

The NYSGA has been fortunate to host state amateur championships at several Ross designed courses including: Bellevue Country Club, Glens Falls Country Club, Mark Twain Golf Course, Oak Hill Country Club, Teugega Country Club and Thendara Golf Club.

Sam Urzetta is a golf legend in Rochester, N.Y. At the age of 22, he won the N.Y.S. Men’s Amateur Championship and Monroe Invitational, which he went on to win two more times. Two years later, he won the 1950 U.S. Amateur Championship over career-long amateur Frank Stranahan. The match went on for a record 39 holes; a record that stood alone until 2000 when it was tied. Urzetta played on two winning Walker Cup teams and competed in 12 major championships; four appearances in the Masters Tournament, four appearances in the U.S. Open, four appearances in the PGA Championship.<\/p>\n

In 1954, Urzetta turned professional. His best finish on the tour came in the 1956 Masters Tournament when he finished tied for 12th. After limited success on the tour, he decided to take the head golf professional position at the Country Club of Rochester in 1956. Urzetta remained at CCR until he retired in 1993. Urzetta is remembered as one of the finest gentlemen the game has ever produced.<\/p>\n
