Jim Albus, Champions Tour

Albus left his mark on the Met Area during his decorated tenure at the Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley, NY winning The Met Open twice (1970, 1984) before embarking on his quest to compete full-time on the Senior Tour. It has proved successful for the former Piping Rock head pro who has captured 6 career victories.

Purchase, NY

Another two-time Met Open Champion, the Old Oaks head professional has also captured the Westchester Open six times in addition to the 1990 New York State Open and the 1990 Westchester PGA Championship. He has also made an impression on the Champions Tour as well, making the cut in the 2003 Senior PGA Championship.

Darrell Kestner, Deepdale CC

Manhasset, NY

What else can be said about this four-time MGA champion? He has been as dominant a player in the Met Area as anyone has over the past three decades having won seemingly every “major” event at least once. In 2004, despite not having full-time status on the Champions Tour, Kestner still managed to place 81st on the 2004 Money List with $121,873 in earnings in just 6 events.

Ed Whitman, Knickerbocker CC

Tenafly, NJ

Whitman continues to impress as one of the top players in not only New Jersey but in the entire Met Area. This five-time NJPGA Player of the Year is coming off a stellar 2004 capturing the MGA/Canon MGA Senior Open as well as the NJ State Open. He has qualified and competed in two U.S. Opens (1993 at Baltusrol and 2000 and Pebble Beach.)
