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.

Picturesque and prolific Pinehaven Country Club will be busier than usual this summer, hosting two major tournaments as well as keeping its membership happy with its usual pristine playing conditions.
Pinehaven CC, carved through the pine barrens of the Pine Bush in Guilderland and host to NYS Amateur Championships in 1998, 2002 and 2008, will entertain both the Symetra Tour’s local stop, the Twin Bridges Championship and the NYS Women’s Senior Amateur Championships. The Symetra Tour’s local event had been held at Capital Hills at Albany for the last 17 years.
