SPOTLIGHTS

B-FIT MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Barbara Daetwyler

I am Barbara Daetwyler and I moved to Bridgemill at the beginning of 2020, following retirement. Once the world began moving again and I could end my COVID isolation, it was time to get active again and I joined the Athletic Club. It is the best decision I could have made.

I am especially appreciative of Mark Hutton at the fitness center. I train with him twice a week and he structures my workouts, based on my other activities and heath needs. It is great incentive to get to the gym.

I was always a tennis fan, but am now a Pickleball enthusiast and there are an impressive number of courts available with a few more in the planning. I’ve met some wonderful people and look forward to seeing them each week for a few hours of play.

Now that the pool will be opening in May, I will get back to the water aerobics, which I enjoy the activity and the people.

KID FIT MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Rylee Morgan

Rylee is being spotlighted this month because of her positive attitude, inspiration, and dedication to fitness. She participates in the middle school exercise program and also does personal training. She trains hard in every session and her motivation to reach her fitness goals is outstanding! Her favorite exercises in the weight room are the upper body machines and enjoys working on her cardio with the bikes and treadmills. She also likes to strengthen her lower body with squats. Her flexibility, endurance and strength have improved greatly!! Very proud of you Rylee.

During class, you’ll move to dances like the Jive, Salsa, Foxtrot, Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz and more, incorporating music from all artists, genres and eras. Based on interchangeable patterns and variations rather than choreography, learning is easier and more enjoyable. This “workout in disguise” engages the whole body – physically, mentally and emotionally – and gets people moving regardless of their fitness level, age, ability or dance experience.

Participants in LaBlast® Chair start it simple, build a solid foundation and advance over time, repeating patterns as needed before moving on. The LaBlast® motto is “if you can clap it, you can dance it™.” Even seated, you’ll engage the entire body while feeling safer and more comfortable.

Join us to learn the skill of dance while experiencing the physical aspects of exercise, all while seated.

Proximity winners were Karyn Haydock, Margie Howell and Jill Lain. Thanks to Chef Faye for a great sandwich and salad lunch following play.

Our LGA is a group of ladies that enjoy golf, friendships and fun. Golfers of all levels are welcome. We enjoy having a good time but we do play by USGA rules and pace of play is very important. Contact Karyn at 845.283.2964 to join BridgeMill Ladies Golf.

SUSAN MOFFA

Hi! My name is Susan Moffa. I just started playing golf 2 years ago and have really enjoyed BMLGA and going on golf vacations with my husband Chris.

My goal for this year is to get through the season not needing any orthopedic surgeries and to see some improvements without having to backtrack. My proudest moment in golf so far was playing with my husband on the “Blue Monster”course at the Doral Trump National in Miami. The most challenging hole at BMAC (for me) is hole 3 because the women’s tee box is only 2 yards in front of the men’s last tee box.

PATTI ZOELLER

LIZ GALLOGLY

Hello, my name is Liz Gallogly. My husband and I moved here 11 years ago when he retired from the RI National Guard. Larry and I have 4 grown children and 4 beautiful grandchildren.

I have two golf goals for this year… the simple goal is to learn how to drive using my driver! The second goal would be to break 90. I am not sure if this is a dream or a goal! I started playing golf because my husband enjoyed it so much, but also to spend time with a friend that had lost her husband unexpectedly. Larry enrolled us each in golf lessons and we still enjoy playing together. Being outside and doing something I love with my friends and family is a blessing!

SHARON BOWERS

My name is Patti Zoeller. My family and I moved to BridgeMill from Ohio 2 years ago. This is my 3rd year with the BM LGA.

My golf goal this year is to slow down my game. I tend to rush. Penalty shots add up quickly as well as 3 putts. I use all different golf balls and I mark them with a large Z. Other than golf, I enjoy water aerobics, pickleball and LaBlast dance fitness.

KELLY COOK

Hi everyone, my name is Kelly Cook. My Husband Hank, of 40 years, and I are retired from our home construction business and have been golf members at BM for 24 years. We have 2 amazing daughters and sons in law as well as 4 wonderful grandchildren!

We have played courses from Hawaii to Ireland. Our favorite course, besides BM, is Brookstone. Playing amongst the volcanos at St Andrews was pretty spectacular! I am hoping that my favorite club, the 5 wood, will help me reach my lifetime goal of having a lowest handicap than my husband. He better watch out!

My name is Sharon Bowers. My husband, Keith, and I are 23 year residents of BM. We are empty nesters of five children and proud grandparents of two grandsons. I have worked as a realtor for 22 years. Golf is a new hobby for me and as a newbie to the game, I am quite excited about the challenge of learning something new. My goal is to break “legitimate 102” this year with no help from “gimmies” or “toe wedges”. I enjoy reading, cooking and traveling. My favorite golf shoes are lightweight Nike mesh shows. As a new golfer, I do not have a favorite professional that I follow but I will start following the LPGA.

TIPS FROM THE PROS

Your approach starts on the tee

Take a moment to think about your least favorite par 4. How much easier and more enjoyable would that hole be if you were hitting your approach shot from the fairway, with two clubs less? It all starts with your tee shot, and here are two ways we can help you improve.

Swing Check How’s your transition from backswing to downswing? Are you open, closed or square through impact? These are just two of the swing factors that can impact your distance. During a swing check, we’ll identify all of your distance improvement opportunities.

ADULT CLINICS AT TOWNE LAKE HILLS

These clinics are for anyone new or inexperienced looking to gain knowledge in the game of golf, in a fun and relaxed setting.

Beginners Clinics | Saturdays 9:45 am – 10:45 am

Game Management Is your driver the right club on that hole? Is there elevation at play? What’s the wind doing? Asking yourself these types of questions before teeing up is a big part of finding more fairways. Let’s take some time to chat about decision-making.

GGP instructors are here to help players of all skill levels to improve their games and lower their scores. We create an individualized improvement plan to accomplish your golfing goals and personalize your practice routine to accelerate your golfing goal.
