Event page for the TCGA’s flagship event of the 2023 season, hosted by Endwell Greens Golf Club, The Links at Hiawatha Landing, and Binghamton Country Club! Thank you to Harding Brooks Insurance Agency for their continued support of golf in our region!
The 94th Harding Brooks Insurance Agency TCGA Amateur Championship has concluded following 54-holes of play in the Senior, Women’s, and Open Division.
In the Senior Division, Adam Schumacher of Shepard Hills finished at a 54-hole total of Even Par, 215 to give him a 17-stroke margin of victory over second place. Ed Wesoloski of the Links at Hiawatha Landing finished in second place with a 54-hole total of +17, 232.
In the first ever iteration of the Women’s Division, Joan Long finished at a 54-hole total of +45, 263 to give her a 2-stroke victory over Jane Talbot, who finished at a 54-hole total of +47, 265. Joan began the final round in 3rd place and overcame a 10-stroke deficit to win.
In the Open Division, Michael Bucko of the Links at Hiawatha Landing and a St. Bonaventure University rising sophomore won the title after a three-way playoff with fellow competitors Tom Christoffersen & Matt Maione, both from the Links at Hiawatha Landing. The three players finished at a 54-hole total of +2, 217. Michael made a birdie on the second playoff hole at Binghamton Country Club after his tee shot on the Par 3 left him just a few feet for the win. Finishing 1-shot out of the playoff at +3, 218 was the University of Scranton’s Liam Burtis.
