We mourn the loss of our dear friend, beloved colleague and CNY PGA past president and hall of famer Richard Winstead.
Richard meant so much to so many. As the head golf professional and general manager at Woodcrest Golf Club in Manlius, Richard was a good listener and critical thinker. He was the consummate professional in every aspect of his life.
Upon his hall of fame induction in 2018, Richard reflected on his career and his father's advice that served him well throughout his career in the golf.
“He told me to listen and then think before I speak. I have tried to always remember that. A quick reaction is almost always met with rebuttal and negativity while listening to all aspects of a situation and thinking about things even for a minute will prove to be a much better way to go.”
We should all be like Richard. He will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. #restinpeace ...
