The reasoning was simple; I had never qualified for NYS public high school states back in the day and the course is private.

I learned that not all the great golfing folks of the Empire state play in state championships; many of them enjoy a bit of competition and the opportunity to play some terrific courses.<\/p>\n<p>Let me whet your appetite for 2012 golf with these two names: Transit Valley (East Amherst) and Stafford (Batavia). Transit was designed by Donald J. Ross&#8217; foreman, while Stafford owes its bloodlines to Walter J. Travis. Both courses figure in the early part of the NYSGA State Days schedule (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghintpp.com\/nysga\/TPPOnlineGolfer\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>found here<\/strong><\/a>.) If you&#8217;ve not played them, you&#8217;ll certainly want to. I&#8217;ll be at Stafford for sure and I might make the scene later on at Mohawk GC in Schenectady. I&#8217;d love to qualify for the championship at Yahnundasis in Rome, another Walter Travis design, but that&#8217;s a bridge to be crossed later.<\/p>\n<p>Make a call to a few of your friends and get a group together to play in a State Days event in 2012. My suspicion is, you&#8217;ll be hooked.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years back, I played a New York State golf association State Days event at the Robert Trent Jones golf course at Cornell University.
