David, it appears that there is still a copyright on the Turf Cheesecake 
recipe, and I have yet to see a "copycat" recipe for it.  This is probably

why you haven't found it.

The original recipe for Lindy's Cheesecake, however, is available online. 

The following is an interesting article about both cheesecakes and the
