MORNING GAME

2022 PLAYER OF THE YEAR

MASTERING PAR 3S BEAT THE BUNKER BLUES

Par 3s often have the most heavily bunkered greens of all holes, so there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in one at some point. But there are few things more satisfying than getting up and down from a greenside bunker. Sometimes it might even be for birdie. Now those are magic moments of mastery that will stay with you forever.

One tip you’ve probably heard is to make contact with the sand in front of the ball, but there are a few aspects to consider. And each of these situations requires a different approach.

Is the sand wet or dry?

Is your ball plugged deep into or perched neatly atop the sand?

CONQUER THE SAND

A reliable bunker play technique is crucial to mastering par 3s. We can help you with specific techniques to overcome every sandy situation.

Book a Lesson with us GeorgiaGolfPerformance.com

Are you playing from a slope in the bunker?

Our 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.

GIFT IDEAS – TENNIS

EXCEL JUNIOR TENNIS ACADEMY The junior program at BridgeMill is designed to meet the needs of all our junior players starting at age 5 and up and recreational to advanced tournament players. The goal of our program is to instill a love for the game of tennis in our youth. We encourage and foster a healthy, active lifestyle that players carry with them throughout their lives. Our program is divided into categories based on ability and age. All programs focus on proper stroke development, footwork, fitness, strategy and mental toughness at an age and level appropriate manner.

5-6 YEARS – This group is for our youngest juniors with little or no tennis experience. Our goal in the program is to help children learn and enjoy the game of tennis while improving their overall athletic skills. We focus on basic motor skills like throwing, catching, running and jumping but also learn fundamental racket skills.

7-10 YEARS - These classes are for juniors with little or no tennis experience. We focus on developing athletic skills, fundamental strokes and learning how to play points and keep score.

Check with the Tennis Pro Shop for class schedule, fees, and available space.

EXCEL ACADEMY

The Academy group is for players with some tennis experience to advanced players, ages 8 & up, who are committed to improving their game. We also include 11–16-year-old beginner players in this group. This high energy group of players is striving to play tournaments, high school tennis or working to get a college scholarship. The Head Coach of the academy is Jennifer Pourchier who is also the Head Coach for the Reinhardt University tennis teams. One unique benefit of this is that Academy players often get to hit and train with the college players! Players are divided by ability level and age. Drills focus on proper stroke technique, footwork, fitness, strategy, and mental toughness. The group meets Monday and/or Wednesday from 5:00-7:00 pm. This program runs throughout the school year.
