Ed Sorge, a two-time Staten Island Amateur champion, served as the head professional at Silver Lake Golf Course from 1963 until 1988, where his clinics spawned generations of the Island’s best golfers.
Sorge won the Amateur in 1952 and 1958 – his record qualifying round of 67, and his 28 on the front nine at Richmond County Country Club still stand – bracketing a stint in the United States Air Force, where he won the 1956 Strategic Air Command and the Western Command titles.
