We will be doing greens aerification on Monday, June 20th, and Tuesday, June 21st.

5 A Note from the Head Superintendent Golf News & Events We have hit the start of the summer season, and the turf grass is growing in wonderfully! Now that the Bermuda is in full swing, it is time that we do some of our general maintenance practices. This month is our aerification of the greens and other areas. We will be doing greens aerification on Monday, June 20th, and Tuesday, June 21st. The course will be closed on Tuesday so that we can complete the aerification process and have the greens playable for Wednesday and beyond. We will then aerify the tees, but this will not disrupt play. One questions I get asked about often is the amount of times we change the pins in a week. My weekly pin changing schedule is Tuesday, to have new for the week, Thursday, to have fresh mid-week, and Saturday, fresh for the weekend. Our greens are not big enough to complete this task more than three times a week. We have a lot of areas on our greens where we cannot put the pins because it would be unplayable (for instance, the front of #1 green). If we tried to change the pins more often, we would end up with a lot of old cup marks on the greens, which would not be an ideal playing surface. I hope this clarified the process! See you on the course! Briane Faletto, GCS July 4th Flag Tournament Sign up in the Golf Shop or call (478) June Golf Tip On a daily basis, I get asked, Pro, give me a quick tip!. Since everyone is different, one tip doesn t apply to everyone. So, in June and July, I decided to give a top 10 list of quick tips that most players could use immediately. Here are June s top 5 quick tips: 1. Grip pressure Grip pressure and arm tension are things that all golfers fight. On a scale of 1 to 10, feel like you re holding the club at a 5 level. Gold is hard enough to play relaxed; tightening up will make it more difficult. 2. Set up So many times players say there is a problem in their swing. Ninety percent of the time, the problem is in the set up. This usually results in poor posture. Make sure that your back is straight to allow for proper trunk rotation. 3. Alignment Make sure that the line of your feet is parallel to your target line. Then, make sure your knees, hips, and shoulders are parallel to your feet. 4. Tempo and balance When you have the proper tempo, you create good balance. If you can finish a swing on balance, you have a much better chance of hitting a good shot. 5. Take one extra club Take an extra club and swing 80%. Your balance will get better, and you will start hitting more solid shots. Stay tuned next month for the next 5 quick tips! Thank you, Carl McNeil PGA Professional 6
