DIANE VOSS

My name is Diane Voss. I moved to Marietta from Virginia in 2015. My husband Allan enjoys golf immensely and convinced me to try it in 2017. Between us we have four children, 2 Daughters-in-law and a precious 2 year old granddaughter. Since I recently retired, it is exciting to have time to practice and golf during the week. My stretch goals (by the end of this year) include consistently golfing in the 90’s and achieving a score in the 80’s. My favorite golf course is Atlantic Dunes at Hilton Head. I am grateful for the friends made through LGA and couples golf (Sunday/Funday). also grateful for the friends made through the LGA and couples golf.

JAN PETERSON

MARGARET KALAHER

My name is Margaret Kalaher. We moved here from NJ a year ago to slow down and play more golf. This is my first season with the LGA and I enjoy it and the couples golf on Sundays. My husband and his family got me started with golf and I enjoy playing with colleagues and clients. My goals are to play more consistently and take a few lessons to improve my handicap. I do not currently follow any Professional golfers…I always cheer for the underdog!

Hello, my name is Jan Peterson. My husband and I moved to BridgeMill almost 2 years ago. I work fulltime for the Federal Aviation Administration. I joined the LGA Spring 2022 and I love all the wonderful Ladies and fun golf events. The ladies are very welcoming and fun! I have two golf goals for this year: first is to break 100 and the second is to birdie hole 2. Other than BridgeMill, my favorite course is Pawley’s Plantation I. Pawley’s Island SC

SALLY PETERSON

Hi! I am Sally Peterson and my husband and I moved our family to BridgeMill in 2006. We have three children and a gorgeous granddaughter. My dad made me and my eight siblings learn golf as adolescents. I did not play much raising a family, but met a few ladies that played and now I am addicted!! My favorite professional golfer is Jordan Spieth…did you see his cutie at the Masters?! My first goal is to play consistently under 100 and my second goal is to travel and play many courses with my husband when he retires. I love the BM golf ladies…many have become dear friends!
