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….
