PGA of America Member and former PGA Tour player Joey Sindelar was the featured special guest at the annual Central New York PGA Spring Meeting held April 15 at Turning Stone Resort Casino. The Spring Meeting took place in the Shenendoah/Kaluhyat Clubhouse.

 

The 66-year-old Sindelar, who won seven PGA Tour events, discussed his career and shared several personal golf memories during his guest appearance.

 

Sindelar, a Horseheads native who still resides in the Southern Tier, brought with him two conversation pieces — the crystal glasses he received from Augusta National in 1985 and 1989 for carding an eagle at The Masters.

 

“I was so happy to be here,” Sindelar said. “I enjoyed it.”

 

Sindelar, an A-3 CNY PGA Member, spoke at one of three break-out sessions at this year’s Spring Meeting.
