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!

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. 16 12 theplease LGA website at www.bmaclga.com.

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.

BridgeMill Sixes Service League Spring is right around the corner and soon the flowers will be blooming, birds will be singing, our children will be outside and the days will be getting longer. We want to thank Tammy Jensen, owner-operator of Stunning Ladies, LLC for her expertise on Self Defense that was discussed at our February meeting. We learned a great deal of community and personal safety information as well as self- defense techniques. Applications for the Lexine Harper Memorial Scholarship are now being accepted. This scholarship is based on service to the community and is available to graduating High School Seniors. Please visit our website at bssl.org to download an application then mail completed application to BSSL, 3760 Sixes Road, Suite 126, Box 185, Canton 30114. Deadline for completed applications is April 1, 2014. Our SCAT items for March are glue sticks, white school glue, wooden pencils and snacks such as pretzels, crackers with (no peanut butter please), graham crackers, and teddy grahams. If you are new to the area and would like more information about the Bridge Mill Sixes League visit our website at www.bssl.org or contact President Ruth Clark at 678-493-8943 or at [email protected]. Mark your calendars now: the next meeting is scheduled for March 20th at 7:00pm at the Terrace. Together , We Can Make A Difference!

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.
