Defending Northeastern Women’s Golf Association champion Rachel Barlette is hoping she finally has some much-needed momentum as she tries to defend her title against a loaded field Tuesday and Wednesday at Colonie Golf & Country Club.
The 34-year-old longtime member of Shaker Ridge Country Club, who recorded her first major victory in last year’s NEWGA Championship with a playoff win over Pat Mayne, wasn’t playing up to her standards so far this season. But she feels rejuvenated after enjoying a breakthrough earlier this week.

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.
