About the Book

The History of the Albany Municipal Golf Course is tied up with vagabonds and duffers, young hotshots and league sandbaggers. With its dirt tees and infamous hills, the "Muny" was a course people loved to hate, but for thousands of Albany residents it provided an introduction to the game of golf. Take a look at the history of the course through the eyes of those who played there, worked there, and caddied there.

Bogies and Billygoats also contains a brief history of golf in the Capital District, and information on the short-lived miniature golf craze that swept through the Albany area in the early 1930s.
