HENRIETTA VIES WITH PITTSFORD OVER LOCUST HILL:

The 2006 Wegmans LPGA championship at Locust Hill Country Club is settled.

But one aspect about the annual women's golf event continues to unsettle and annoy Henrietta Supervisor James Breese and some Henrietta residents.

It's publicity Pittsford gets during the competition even though the Locust Hill Country Club clubhouse, driving range and 10 of the golf course's 18 holes are in Henrietta. The club's mailing address is Pittsford.

"I've been fighting this battle," Breese said Wednesday. "It's a battle over geography and local pride. The LPGA is an event that everybody loves in this area and everybody would like to take credit for. Naturally we would like to take some credit. The whole north side of Jefferson Road is in Henrietta."

Breese said when he talked to Locust Hill representatives about the Pittsford-Henrietta issue, he got two explanations. One is that the country club has a Pittsford ZIP code. The other: "They claim it's not them that's doing it; it's the media," Breese said.

The LPGA's Web site lists the tournament in Pittsford. The Democrat and Chronicle has long used Pittsford as the tournament's location.

Breese said he believes that the LPGA promoters, including Locust Hill to some extent, "prefer the Pittsford dateline because they think it sounds more prestigious and fancy than if they said Henrietta. Naturally, I don't like that very much."
