Xi Chi Pi Tournament

A field of 22 teams took part in the third annual Xi Chi Pi Golf Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Albany Golf Course.

The threesome of Donnie Anderson, Ronnie Anderson, and Randy Walker shot 16-under over 18 holes to win the event, which raises funds for scholarships for Albany High School graduates.

“We had such a great turnout,” organizer Lauren Peacock said. “The weather was perfect, and it’s pretty entertaining watching a group of women host a golf tournament.”

Second place went to the team of Sam Balliew, Rodney Barton, and Charles Barrett at 13-under.

Finishing third were Lance Lefevre, Jody Le­fevre, and Blaze Thomas at 10-under.

“We cannot thank our sponsors and our donors enough for making this event possible for us,” Peacock said. “As a sorority, we’re thrilled to have the support to be able to give back to our graduating seniors.”
