Golf is no longer the No. 1 priority in Bryan Bigley’s life. After more than a dozen years of chasing his dream of making it on the PGA Tour, the Schalmont High School and Siena College graduate doesn’t have to worry about making the cut in order to earn enough money to keep his career afloat.
Now living just outside of San Francisco, Bigley is married, enjoys his role as a stay-at-home dad for his two stepsons, and hits the little white ball around just for fun these days.

Although match play is a format that allows many competitors to be more aggressive on certain shots and puts the emphasis more on one’s opponent than on the course, Dan Russo doesn’t change his focus much at all.
Russo, the 63-year-old member of Schuyler Meadows, is the area’s all-time leader in major tournament victories among amateurs. Russo certainly knows how to win in golf, and he will play his normal game next weekend when the annual Tri-County Golf Association Match Play Championship is contested Friday through Sunday at Colonie Golf & Country Club.

SALINE, MI Arbor Hospice is asking the public for help as it faces a room-and-board shortage that’s dwindling its funding.

Despite applying for and receiving a small number of grants, the financial need to operate Arbor Hospice gets greater over time, officials said.
