Saratoga County's Gail Brophy a golfing superhero

Not in the movie theaters, but on a golf course.

[...] after leaving golf for 42 years to take over the family business and raise her family, Brophy's return has been nothing short of spectacular.

[...] she has won the New York State Super Senior Amateur Championship in 2007 and 2008.

In 2012, she was the New York State Women's Super Senior Champion runner-up, and she captured both the 2012 Northeastern Women's Golf Association Senior Championship and Super Senior Championship.

During her remarkable comeback, Brophy was starting to experience symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis.

The disease is a chronic, irreversible lung disease without a cure or, in her case, a known cause.

[...] at the end of a miserable, cold, rainy day, we had improved on three of the four as we approached the final hole.

The organizing body of golf is providing support to clubs that promote playing nine holes and posting nine-hole scores in the golf handicap system.

With cooler, rainy weather still in our midst and many courses suffering from wet conditions, this is an ideal time to hone your game or take advantage of new — and fun — ways to enjoy golf.

Using the Protracer's launch monitor, I take 10 shots with each club and have the results sent to me in an email, jotting down the order I hit the clubs and time I hit each club.

The Protracer Range also offers virtual golf games and party packages for groups.

A variety of options are available: points games based on pin positions at the driving range, long-drive contests and the traditional virtual courses.

An international event called Women's Golf Day, dedicated to women's participation in golf, will be held Tuesday, June 6.

Kay McMahon of EduKaytion Golf will sponsor a clinic at the executive course, 30 Mill Road, Latham, from 4 to 8 p.m. Check out the website at https://womensgolfday.com for more clinics and information.
