1 February 2017 Newsletter Pro's Corner Kevin Rhinehart, PGA Professional (270) / kevinrhinehart@bellsouth.net Greetings to the Membership, Hey there golfers, the golf season is approaching. Be sure to check out the 2017 golf schedule below and make plans to play in your favorite events. Copies of the 2017 Calendar are available in the Golf Shop. If you are new to the Rolling Hills family, please stop by the Golf Shop and introduce yourself to us. We can answer any questions you may have. Golf Lessons and Club Fitting It is a great time to get the game in shape. You may contact me at the Golf Shop or by (kevinrhinehart@bellsouth.net) Lesson rates are $40 for juniors and $50 for adults. Also, I have purchased a launch monitor to enhance club fitting. The right clubs and a correct fit can have a huge impact on your golf game. We have the technology to make sure you are getting the most out of your game. Having the correct set makeup can save several shots during a round of golf. Knowing how far a certain club actually flies in the air is very beneficial, and we have the ability to measure all your clubs for you. Fittings can be performed inside or on the range. Contact Kevin for more information. New In the Golf Shop All major brands have new offerings. Callaway and Cobra have revamped their line of clubs also.

If the staff can be of any assistance, please don t hesitate to contact us. Swinging for excellence, Kevin E. Rhinehart, PGA From the Green Department The staff has been hard at work this winter, having been blessed with very mild weather. We have been out pruning trees and opening drainage to make sure we keep up with the heavy rains we have received. When weather has been gloomy, we have been indoors working on equipment and refurbishing course accessories. During the month of February, we will be working on a few different projects when the weather cooperates. We will be applying herbicides to all warm season grasses to eradicate winter weeds as well as prevent broadleaf and grassy weeds next season. We must do this during sunny days as the plants take up the chemicals much better in the cold weather when it is sunny. This will normally impact some winter golfing. We will try to keep you informed on when this will take place. We also have some tree removal to complete. Dead trees will be removed as needed around the golf course. We will be lighting our burn pile Monday, January 30th. Other projects include cleaning up areas inside, outside and around the maintenance facility, equipment preventative maintenance and course maintenance and repairs. On a personal note to so many of the members, my family and I deeply appreciate your expressions of sympathy. Have a great month. Spring is right around the corner!! Rolling Hills Green Department
