SPOTLIGHTS

KID FIT MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Annaleigh & William Watson

The Kidfit Spotlight stars for the month of August are Annaleigh and William Watson. They have been participating in the elementary fitness program for over a year, and they both show much enthusiasm for fitness. They come to class with positive attitudes, big smiles and always ready to have fun and work hard to get "kidfit strong." They get along well with others and demonstrate respect and kindness. Annaleigh's favorite exercise is squats while William loves push-ups and jumping jacks. Annaleigh enjoys kidfit classes because they make her strong, and she likes to make new friends. William enjoys coming to classes because Coach Holly teaches him new exercises, and he has fun! It has been wonderful to have Annaleigh and William as a part of our kids fitness program. They are learning the basics of exercise and nutrition at a young age to help foster a lifetime of healthy habits.

B-FIT MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Burke Family

Michael and Bonnie moved to BridgeMill in November 2003. Over the years, the Burke family has actively participated in golf, tennis, the fitness center (including a variety of classes and personal training with Mark Hutton), and pickleball. They spent many summers at the pool with friends. Bonnie is a former member/Board member of the BridgeMill Sixes Service League, but their service to the community included the whole family. Mitchell and Carly attended Liberty Elementary, Freedom Middle School and Cherokee High School, where Carly is now a rising junior. Mitchell just graduated from CHS and is off to the University of Georgia. They believe this has been a great neighborhood to raise a family and continue to enjoy the all amenities BridgeMill has to offer.

Flight One winners were Missie Kisker and Therese Powers and Flight Two winners were Susan Moffa and Amy Davidson. See photos below of the winners as well as the twin teams of two.

GAIL MCCULLOCH

My name is Gail McCulloch and I moved to BM in March 2022. Bob and I are newlyweds…we have a blended family of 6 fun adult children ranging in ages from 33-18. My goals for 2023 are: meet my neighbors and make golf friends; not get frustrated by the learning process; end every game with the same one I started with; hit a birdie instead of a goose; limit my wine intake after golf so I don’t need a ride! My advice to ladies thinking about taking up golf: If I can do it, you can do it! See you on the course!

AMY DAVIDSON

JEN MANNING

I started playing golf 4 years ago and am loving the sport! My boyfriend, Kevin Glorio, taught me all the basics and has been so patient. I have made a lot of awesome friends which is what it is all about. My goal this year is to shoot 90. The hardest hole for me is #12. It is just 100 yards, but that uphill just kills me! My proudest moment was winning the 2022 Member/Guest with my good friend Miyako Fletcher. My favorite brand of golf balls are the Callaway Super Soft in pink or yellow.

Hi, my name is Amy Davidson. My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 37 years. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 grandkids. We have been member of BMAC since 2003. I joined the LGA on 2022 and have really enjoyed getting to know the ladies both on and off the course. As we move toward retirement, Steve and I look forward to playing different courses. My goals for this year to to not use the same club twice in a row, except my putter. I want to hit each shot long enough that I have to get back into the cart for my next shot LOL!

ANITA DODD

Hello…my name is Anita Dodd. I have been a member of the BMLGA for 3 years. I am not a professional golfer nor do I expect to become one! What I am is a learner of the game and I enjoy spending time with ladies of all skill levels, ages and walks of life. I am getting better every time I play which is my goal. It’s all about pacing yourself. I enjoy following my favorite golfer, Denise Killeen, when she plays. I don’t get to golf at every event, but I get out when I can. BMLGA is a great group of ladies who enjoy the game and want to improve.

TERRY OLSON

My name is Terry Olson. I have lived in BM for 23 years. I decided to take up golf 2 years ago because I was tired of being a golf widow! Now I play with my husband on Sunday-Fundays and have gotten to know a great group of people. I also enjoy playing with the LGA group. I currently take group lessons with Denise and my game is improving. I enjoy being outdoors and exercising.

The Georgia Golf Performance Junior Developmental Tour was created to have a tournament our juniors can compete in to learn how to play tournaments in a safe, family-friendly environment. It also allows coaches to observe your junior in a tournament atmosphere, which helps in our coaching strategy. The junior tour is one of three key objective measuring tools we use in determining the placement of Team GGP juniors within the Performance Pathway. Juniors compete at special yardages that are based on their developmental age and skill set. All ages are welcome to participate in the tournaments.
