BridgeMill Golf Academy
“Our
Goal is to Help You Enjoy Your Golf More”
Tips From The Pro
Short Game Practice Strategy
I recently came across an old article by Hale Irwin titled “My Short
Game Test”. He had five different shots that he called skill shots and
stroke savers. These are the shots that can be the difference between
saving par and making double bogey. What I find interesting is that I
rarely see the average golfer practice these shots and when they do
practice them they mostly struggle. Here are the five:
•
•
•
•
•
Pitch and Run
Soft Lob
Long Running Chip
High Bunker Shot
Long Putt
The next time you are out make it a point to try these five shots and if
you feel you need help...give me a call.
Best wishes for your success!

You may deem your ball unplayable at any place on the course, except when the ball is in a

LGA News
BRRR! It has been too cold for golf for most of February. Hopefully warmer temps will be here soon and the
LGA Board headed by President Jean Landmesser is busy planning events for the 2014 season. Please go to
our website: www.bmaclga.com for a schedule.
Evites for our Girls Night Out and upcoming tournaments are sent about ten days ahead so it is so important
that we have your correct email address. Contact Jan Small at [email protected] if there is a chance we
do not have your most current information. We do not want anyone to miss out on the fun! If you are new
to BridgeMill or just ready to play some golf with a great group of ladies, please check out our website
where there is a link to participation forms. Contact Char Bailey at [email protected] for additional
information about the LGA.
We have had a sheet in the ladies locker room this past year to list a question regarding a golf rule that they
may not be familiar with. Becky Royer and Molly Maher decided on a few situations that come up during play
on a fairly regular basis that might need clarification for the less experienced golfers.
1.You are playing hole #2 at BridgeMill. When hitting over the water from the fairway side: if your ball
hits over the water and even clears the yellow hazard line on the other side BUT then rolls back into the
water, you cannot hit from the side nearer the green. You have to replay the shot from where you previously hit or drop it on a line back (a far as you want to) keeping the spot where it did enter the hazard
between you and the hole (rule 26-1b)
2.The correct way to mark your ball on the green: marking behind your ball on the green always seems
to work best, but mostly we need to mark it the same way each time just to be consistent.
3.The last item we wanted to bring up is making sure you know which ball is yours. Playing with a
uniquely marked ball is very important and always check it before you hit to avoid a penalty by hitting
the wrong ball. What a shame to do a beautiful chip onto the green just to find out it was not your ball.

Tip from the Pros . . . . .
Top 10 Reasons to Play Tennis
(adapted from RSI Magazine)
Tennis is the Sport for a Lifetime
There’s no other sport you can play throughout your life from youth to senior
that gives you the physical, mental, emotional and social benefits that tennis
gives you.
Tennis Can Be Anything You Want It To Be
Looking for competition, social play, team camaraderie, a good workout, time
with family or friends, tournaments and national championships? Tennis has
all of that and more. The sport can be anything you want or need it to be.
Tennis Helps You Live Longer
Tennis is one of the most healthful activities in which you can participate delivering overall physical, mental and emotional gains.
Tennis Develops Your Mind
Tennis requires alertness, tactical thinking, and problem solving which promotes a lifetime of continued development of the brain.
Tennis Develops Your Body
The constant movement and action in tennis will burn calories, build muscle,
increase bone strength, improve flexibility, fine-tune coordination and enhance
overall health and fitness.
Tennis Is A Family Sport
No matter the age, gender, ethnicity, ability level or fitness level, tennis is perfect for families to play together. Few sports can offer the opportunities for
families that tennis can.
Tennis Teaches Life Lessons
Participants, particularly youth, develop a work ethic, learn sportsmanship,
responsibility, manage mistakes, enhance discipline, learn to compete, cope
with pressure and adversity, develop healthy habits, learn teamwork and
much more.
Tennis Makes For A Happier Life
Tennis engages your mind and body at the same time, unlike a typical
workout at a gym. Because tennis players are more confident, healthier, less
stressed and more socially interactive, they’re just plain happier.
Tennis Is Social
On court and off, you’re guaranteed to make friends through tennis. The
sport encourages interaction, communication, and lots of fun. Plus, it’s great
for making business connections, too.
Tennis Is Fun
At every level of the game and at every age from 10 & under tennis through
super-senior leagues, players site “FUN” as one of the main reasons to play
tennis
Take the opportunity at BridgeMill Athletic Club to join in the “FUN” of tennis.
We have private, semi-private and small group instruction available for adults
and juniors. League (team) play is available for Sports and Golf members.
Check us out today and don’t miss your opportunity for “FUN” right here in
the community.
For additional information on upcoming events, please call 770-720-9635.

News
Coldest night ever for team drills!
The new Wilson Juice Racquets
have arrived!!
This racquet
delivers maximum power for the
widest range of styles and is ideal
for nearly all levels. The racquet
is a lightweight, forgiving,
modern frame in a mid-plus head
size.
It offers speed and
maneuverability from the baseline
or the net.
Amplified 360
features a full Basalt expanded
handle and a shock absorbing
engineered polymer for added
power. Spin Effect Technology
gives players maximum spin to
ensure they get the most
movement on every shot. Come
by the Pro Shop and test drive
one our Juice demos. Remember,
we always have the best prices in
town!
Reminder
Only in Georgia!
Snow on the ground & playing in shorts.
Please check in with the Pro Shop
attendant prior to play. The courts
are in high demand and checking in
ensures that you will not be bumped
off the court in the middle of a
match because it was previously
reserved. It also helps the staff
knows what courts are being used
and who is on them.
Tennis courts are for BridgeMill
Athletic Club Members and their
guests. Accompanied guest fees are
$10 per person. Community
Members and their guests are also
required to pay the $10 court fee.
Court fees should be paid before
play. Unaccompanied guests are
not permitted to use the tennis
courts.
Snow removal!

BridgeMill Community Association
The Association held its Annual Meeting on January 27th at Liberty Elementary School. Association members
elected Brian Duncan, Johnny Rich, and Susan Rubin to serve two-year terms on the Board of Directors. Susan is now serving her second term on the Board. Congratulations to the new Board! Thank you to those
who participated in the election process and to the Election Committee who volunteered their time and
efforts. Jay Patouillet’s term expired and he left the Board after serving a total of 6 years. He will certainly be
missed and we are appreciative of all he has done to make BridgeMill the community we all love. A special
thanks goes out to Dave Meredith whose term also expired. Dave served on the Board for 4 years and also
contributed immensely and he too will be missed!
The Association continues to receive complaints about on-street parking and we ask that our residents and
visitors make every effort to park on the driveway. An accident occurred on Downing Creek Trail in February
due to a parked car impeding sight lines of visibility. Although no one was hurt, the accident could have
been avoided. If a parked vehicle is impeding sight lines for oncoming traffic, please contact the sheriff’s
department and they will ticket the vehicle. The majority of our streets are county owned and maintained
and are the responsibility of the county.
Is your mailbox rusted, dented, missing numbers, and the door is twisted and hanging or even missing?
Don’t wait for the HOA to send you a violation notice! Contact the property manager and make plans to
purchase a replacement. Just as our homes need upkeep and maintenance, the mailboxes and posts in
BridgeMill also need maintenance. Deteriorated mailboxes are an eyesore and bring down the overall
appearance of the neighborhood. Even the little things owners can do to spruce up their property, such as
putting down fresh pine straw or mulch and replacing a rusted, leaning mailbox does a lot for the “look” of
our neighborhood.
We are noticing an abundance of investment owned properties in BridgeMill. This was one of the “hot” topics
at the annual meeting. Owners are legally responsible for the upkeep and maintenance and if you are an
investment owner, you should be regularly monitoring your property and making sure the tenant is
maintaining the yard to the same community-standard as owner occupied properties. Shrubs and bushes
need to be trimmed; lawns need edging and cut regularly; trash cans stored out of sight; freebie newspapers
picked up, etc. The Association does exercise its right of “self help and abatement” and will send a lawn
service out and maintain the yard and in some cases, removes debris in an effort to keep the neighborhood
looking its best. The property owner gets the invoice for that service (and is usually not very happy)! Do your
part and maintain the exterior of your home and property.
