Last year, we selected Ilene Gaffney and Ross Guernsey III as the first two members of the Cobleskill Golf & Country Club Honor Roll.
I am pleased to announce that the next two inductees are Linda Kolnick and Paul Lesta.
Linda was a very strong player during her time as a member of our Club, winning many tournaments — including the Women’s Club Championship an impressive 15 times between 1992 and 2013.
Paul Lesta won his first Club Championship in 1991 and has continued to win multiple titles in each subsequent decade. Most recently, Paul claimed his 8th Club Championship this year.
In the coming weeks, we will form a committee to nominate future candidates for the Honor Roll. New honorees will be selected annually, based on criteria that include both playing achievements and contributions to the Club.
Anyone interested in serving on the nominating committee should contact Bob Smith by email at RSmith.CobyGolf@gmail.com or by phone at 518-258-7743.
