  • Congrats Amanda!!! - May 8, 2026

    Congratulations to Amanda Zerhusen on winning the women’s half-marathon in the recent 2026 Flying Pig! She completed the race in 1:19:53. Well done!  Heck, that is faster than the commute to downtown during rush hour! Check out our Chapter's Facebook page for more.
  • That was Interesting! - May 3, 2026

    The Mill Warm-up League was fantastic! First off, I'd like to thank out captain, Grace, for dialing up the sunshine for all four weeks. What were the odds of that?!  Our last two weeks of playing scramble format, we chose to play the "most interesting" lie instead of the "best" lie ... no hitting out of the fairways for us.  This allowed us to practice shots that were a little more challenging, so now we will be more comfortable standing over those balls when we play this summer. (It will happen!)

    Everyone picked up on different tips Andrew and Eric shared along the way.  Some of my favorites ... 1) Gravity is your friend (you don't have to swing hard at those close chips around the green, just let the club drop and do all the work) ... 2) Finish the swing ... and 3) It's better to read more into a break on the green and make it on the high side because even if you miss, it will be breaking towards the hole instead of away.

    I will definitely be signing up for the warm-up league again next year!
