The team of Williams and Harris tied with Barton and Balliew to win the Championship Flight at the annual Albany Labor Day Golf Tournament. Both teams had a two-day total of 128 strokes, followed by Clegg and Fairchild in third with 129.

One hundred and six players, grouped into 53 teams of two players each, ended up competing in the tournament.

Scores from Saturday’s rounds were used to divide the teams into four flights on Sunday.

The second, third, and fourth flights teed off on Sunday morning, and the first flight and Championship flight teed off on Sunday afternoon.

“It was a successful tournament, and everyone commented on how great the course looked,” said James Waters with the Albany Golf Club. “The rain, the City, and club members all helped get the course in good shape.”

Upcoming events at the golf course include Wednesday golf scrambles that start at 5:30 p.m. each week through the fall. Entry fees for the scrambles are $10 for club members and $15 for non-members.

The annual Kiwanis tournament is coming up at the local course on Oct. 2.
