1 R Country Golfer Golfer SIGNATURE COURSE VOL 20 ISSUE 4 April, Dear Member, Amidst the rush of tournaments and events at the Club it's unbelievable that we have crossed 4 months already into With the onset of summers, our golfers seemed to be affected the most as they shift their play time to early mornings. The on-course chit-chat still seems to be dominated by the exhilaration and the events from the Hero Indian Open. The non-golfers and their families hang out at the Sports Complex either at the Swimming Pool to beat the heat or to sweat it out at the Tennis Courts and the Gym. The pool is now packed especially in the evenings with casual swimmers and little kids playing with their pool balls. The Tennis Courts have additionally magnetized a lot of new talent this season. Shaun and his team have done the annual maintenance as they carry out coring of the fairways and greens simultaneously. This process is orchestrated in a way to ascertain minimum inconvenience to our golfers. Coring ascertains healthy growth of dormant Bermuda grass flushing the fairways and greens providing you the course back in mint condition by terminus of May. The members' evening with the Warsi Brothers was a great hit. Famous Sufi singers Nazeer Ahmed Khan Warsi and Naseer Ahmed Khan Warsi, accompanied by their troupe mesmerized the members at the party lawns on Friday night through their Sufi renditions. The members relished the music not letting the Warsi Brothers leave-extending their performance time by an hour. Ladies danced to the jugalbandi of the dholak and the tablas. Thanks to our sponsors Lexus and Benetton for extending their support. Look forward to more fun-filled evenings. With the summer vacations just around the corner, enrol your kids for special coaching across various activities. See you at the Club! Members' Evening Happy Golfing! Vishal Bharti Asst. Vice President Mesmerizing Sufi Night with Warsi Brothers

3 Sufi Night with Warsi Brothers Famous Sufi music artists Nazeer and Naseer Warsi from Hyderabad were cordially invited to the Club for a memorable evening with the members. The duo accompanied by their troupe, mesmerised the members with their Sufi renditions at the Party Lawns of the Club. They cheered the mood of the audience by playing varied songs in a higher, cheerful note connecting the audience with the true Sufi spirit. The evening titled 'Sufi Night' was just the right mix of numbers from Bollywood and elsewhere. Our members could not resist but dance to the tunes of their favourite renditions. The fully glued audience refused to let the evening end and continued to request for songs of their choice. The Warsi Brothers happily played along with full fervour extending the performance time by an hour. What can be more gratifying to an artist than a responsive and an enthralled audience commented the Brothers. This was truly a night to remember. We would also like to thank our sponsors Lexus and Benetton for their contribution in making this a success. Memorable moments from the Sufi Night

5 From our Superintendent s Quill Course Renovations Update As summer is upon us it is renovation season again and time to complete important agronomic work to restore the health of the playing surfaces at DLF Golf & Country Club. The Gary Player course renovation has commenced with greens being the first on our program and a successful outcome has been achieved. The surfaces will be sandy and bumpy for a few weeks and we are working hard to restore them as quickly and safely as possible. Much care needs to be taken when completing these works under the hot conditions of summer. The tees, fairways, approaches and roughs will be completed during April with everything on the Gary Player Course to be completed by month end. Once successfully completed, we will focus on the Arnold Palmer renovations and move quickly to complete greens works before the barometer continues to rise going into May. Shaun Satterly Thus far, renovations are on schedule and results have been positive and I would like to thank the members & guests for their patience as we complete this necessary work and strive to take our playing conditions to the next level. From Chef Abhijit s Kitchen Chimichanga: a meat-filled deep-fried burrito Ingredients 1 tbsp chilli powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp garlic chopped 1 tbsp cumin powder raw 1 tbsp flour 2 tbsps olive oil 350 gms chicken minced roughly 1 large onion chopped 2 jalapenos chopped 100 gms of any kind of canned beans drained and rinsed Veg refined oil for deep frying Abhijit Dey 6 nos (11-inch) flour tortillas 2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce Tomato salsa (Readymade) 1 cup sour cream (Readymade) Method 1. In a small bowl, combine chilli powder, cayenne, garlic and flour. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed, large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Add onions and jalapenos and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute more. Mix in flour mixture, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir well to combine. Cook it from lower heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, and allow to cool. 2. Preheat the oil, while oil is heating, prepare Chimichangas. Fill bottom half of a tortilla with 3/4 cup of the chicken and bean mixture and 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Lift the edge of the tortilla and roll it over the filling to secure it. Fold in both sides and continue rolling until you reach the opposite end. Secure with a 6-inch skewer weaved through the seam side of burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slowly lower Chimichangas into hot oil and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven until all are cooked. 3. Serve with tomato salsa and sour cream.

For instance, if you have weak gluteal muscles, your lower back is forced to work harder to keep you upright and stable, and you become vulnerable to injury. Strength training is the key.

Aditya Pande Aditya Pande, who has been training at the DLF Golf Academy, finished second in the Champions Junior Golf Spring Challenge held at Tarudhan Valley. He also qualified for the finals of the Champions Inter School League Tournament. Fitness Tip of the Month by Anjali Yadav Many Golfers experience back pain, especially lower back pain, because of the repetitive stress and impact golf swing puts on the body for a significant duration of time. Muscle related back pain occurs on either side of the lower part of the spine. You will know you have it if you feel spasms or pain while moving or twisting. This muscle related back pain typically happens when the muscles that surround your back - your core, hips, hamstrings aren't strong, which forces your back muscles to pick up the slack. For instance, if you have weak gluteal muscles, your lower back is forced to work harder to keep you upright and stable, and you become vulnerable to injury. Strength training is the key. Strengthening the back as well as other muscles around the Anjali Yadav region is the best way to prevent back pain. Strong muscles, strong core muscles and a strong kinetic chain will take the load off an achy back. Having strong core muscles is especially important because these muscles are located on both sides of your spine and together to support it. Also, regular stretching of the hamstring, glutes and lower back muscles before and after golf and on off days will help reduce or even eliminate the pain. There are various stretches & exercises you can do to relieve the discomfort in your back. First and foremost, that is recommended is foam rolling, not just the back but also hip and hamstrings. There are various exercises and stretches like Hip Bridge, Back Extension, Kettlebell Swings, Leg Lifts in prone position, Pelvic Tilt, Lower Trunk Rotation, Cat-Cow Stretch etc. that you can do to strengthen the back and relieve the discomfort if any. Kettlebell swing works your glutes, hamstring and lower back all at once

the center of gravity of a golf club and is far more pronounced in hybrids and woods as compared to irons. Basically, if the ball is struck on the sweet spot there is no/minimal gear effect.

Horizontal gear effect happens when the golf ball is struck to the left or the right of the center of gravity of the golf club and has a big effect on the starting direction as well as the curvature

The gear effect on a horizontal plane is explained in the illustration wherein the golf ball and the club head rotate in opposite directions due to the off-center contact, with the yellow circles

If you hit the golf ball on the toe side of the club head as shown in the picture, the club head will move clockwise (as shown by the green arrow) and impart a counter clockwise spin to the golf ball

The opposite is true if you hit the golf ball to the heel side of the club head.

Basically, if the ball is struck on the sweet spot there is no/minimal gear effect. This month, let s have a look at the other type of gear effect that affects the flight of the golf ball Horizontal Gear Effect. Horizontal gear effect happens when the golf ball is struck to the left or the right of the center of gravity of the golf club and has a big effect on the starting direction as well as the curvature of the golf ball. The gear effect on a horizontal plane is explained in the illustration wherein the golf ball and the club head rotate in opposite directions due to the off-center contact, with the yellow circles showing the center of gravity of the club head and the golf ball. Assume that you are hitting a driver. If you hit the golf ball on the toe side of the club head as shown in the picture, the club head will move clockwise (as shown by the green arrow) and impart a counter clockwise spin to the golf ball (as shown by the blue arrow). This will make the golf ball start more to the right and then curve towards the left with the spin on it. The opposite is true if you hit the golf ball to the heel side of the club head. In this case, the golf ball will start more to the left and then curve towards the right as it will spin in a clockwise manner. It is important to note that a golf ball hit towards the heel side of the club head will travel significantly less as compared to the golf ball hit on the toe side of the club head. Another reason for this is that the club head speed at the toe side is much more than the speed at the heel side of the club head. The horizontal and vertical gear effect is the reason that the longest drives are the ones that the contact point is slightly above and slightly to the toe side of the golf club and not exactly the center of the club head. Higher launch angle and lower spin rate is the key to long drives.
