The Founding Fathers:
History Of
The Gin Mill...
By: takingston 10.30.2011
In a town of Bridgeport 50 years to-a-day
Men gathered at a local pub and voted to play
Golf was the game, Gin Mill the name
9 holes – match play – 3 points was their aim.
Over 5 decades 3 fields of play
Westgate, Palos, and Oak Hills today
Champions have reigned and challenges met
Through 50 years the greens were fast, slick and wet
From banquet to weekends and Lake Geneve, Lilly n Powers
The men of Gin Mill partied for hours on hours.
Handed down from our Founders:
Gene, Sonny, Bob, and Norb
And member that kept the Gin Mill strong:
Moono, Lefty, Jack, Wally(doc), Briggie, Clark, Jerry,
Larry King, Corky, Uncle Ed, Albert, Tom, Bill, Ken,
Nick, Tommy, Tony, Joe Sr., Joe Jr.
Three generations of men
Have come and gone…
2 conferences, 4 divisions
Gin Mill is 32 strong!
To this day we honor the code
Handed down to us 50 years ago:
Camaraderie, Competition, Sportsmanship,
We say: In the game of golf on the Field of Play….
