The New York Seniors Golf Association, Inc. was started in 1952. The initial golf matches were played annually at Oak Hill Country Club and Winged Foot Golf Club. Westchester C.C. later joined Oak Hill in rotation, and by 1991 the association began moving the tournaments around the state, with ’91 spring matches at Brookfield C.C. and The Park Club.

Spring Matches now are held on the Monday – Tuesday before Memorial Day.
Fall Matches are held on the first Monday – Tuesday following Labor Day Week.
