CLUB FITTING ONE FITTING. MANY MOMENTS OF JOY.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY New club technology is making the game easier and giving more golfers access to greater moments of joy. But no matter how brilliant the technology is, if it isn’t fitted to your game, you’re not getting everything it has to offer. PAGE 20 | MAY 2021
From tee to fairway to green, you have many opportunities to experience joy. Whether it’s splitting the fairway with your driver, setting up a birdie putt on a long approach, holing out with your wedge, or sinking a 10-footer. When you’re playing with fitted clubs, you’re going to experience moments like this more often.

GOLF NEWS
@BridgeMillGolf
LGA NEWS by Molly Maher May…the month of beautiful azaleas, blooming dogwood trees and warm spring breezes! We love the longer days, especially on Wednesday so the ladies golf group at BridgeMill can have fun with our Nine and Wine. Every Wednesday, we kick off about 5 pm for 9 holes of friendly golf followed by drinks and dinner (for those that want to stay.). Every few weeks, we have a game night which just adds to fun with prizes and a little competition.
First place team was Vanessa Mullen, Amy Boehm and Carla Cummings. Second place team was Stacy Propes, Joyce Gonzenbach and Briana Stopp. Closest to the hat went to Stacy, closest to the pin on #5 was Kelly and on #8 was Vanessa. See photos for a little hint of the fun day we had to celebrate our Irish hero, St. Patrick! We also honored Therese Powers for her Eagle and Carla Cummings for her first Birdie!! Congrats!!!
Sunday March 21st we had our first tournament of the season to celebrate St Pat’s Day. 18 ladies came out dressed in green and ready to have a good time! Tee times started at noon with a little competition using a shamrock ball. Hole 2 we had a closest to the green hat 👒 competition which was about 140 yards from the ladies tees. Our par 3 holes also had closest to the pin prizes and we were all treated to some green Bailey’s on hole 6 by Chris Maher. We finished out the day with a great appetizer spread and as much green beer as we could drink. Since it was a beautiful summer like day, we stayed and visited long after the prizes were awarded.
Saturday, April 17th was our Spring Fling tournament. We headed out with a shotgun start at 8am to dance the Cha, Cha, Cha. A fun format using best net score on 1, 2nd best score on 2 etc. Our teams were made up with ABCD players to keep all skill levels even. The fun ramped up on par 3’s when frisbees and softball bats came into play!! We followed our 18 hole event with a delicious lunch at Featherstone’s, a cocktail or two and great prizes. Photos to follow in our June BridgeMill News!
