Enthusiastic parents enrolled anon after the announcement of the Gala for their kids to participate. Young dolphins competed in different races for the top position. In an endeavour to keep the members and their families engaged at the Club, the Swimming Gala was followed by a wellplanned Retro Dance Night with famous DJ Barkha.

5 From our Superintendent s Quill Transition Time Summer is well upon us as the temperatures soar and become the talking point amongst various age groups. With such high temperatures the cool season turf grass that we experienced through the winter months is quickly dying out and the warm season turf that was dormant through the winter is starting to grow and dominate the system. During this stage of change there will be areas on the course that require time & patience for the warm season turf to re-establish. This stage is called the transition and will last for approximately 6 weeks. Some areas on the course will experience a quick die out of the cool season turf before the warm season turf has shown up fully. Some thin areas can be observed for a small window of time before full establishment of the warm season turf can take place. This pattern will occur around the course in varying locations until the whole course has completely transitioned from Shaun Satterly cool season to warm season turf grass. During this stage the maintenance team will be focusing on the areas of weak transition and promoting a fast and smooth transition. Generally, the roughs are the main area of focus and require more attention and patience whilst the tees, fairways and approaches usually transition seamlessly. Once full transition has taken place we will have moved our maintenance programs from cool season to warm season turf grass management as we move through the summer and monsoon months before again preparing for the winter and the cool season turf establishment and management.

It is an effective way to improve and maintain your fitness and health regardless of your age or fitness level. Swimmers of all ages have a lower risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The benefits of swimming laps are numerous. The exercise is rhythmic and can be done for longer durations.

More Power to the Knees and Back: The water can be a great way to train if you have various orthopaedic issues such as a bad knee or back.

Fitness Tip of the Month by Anjali Yadav Plyometrics also known as "jump training" or "plyos", are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speedstrength).plyometrics is a great way for athletes to build explosive power. Plyometric training focuses on increasing the strength and efficiency of the fast-twitch fibers. Translating this to the weight room for your heavy sets means greater involvement of your muscles' strongest fibers for your lifts, Anjali Yadav which results in speed and strength gains. What Plyometrics are meant to teach you is how to exert maximum force in minimum time. To achieve this, each exercise must be performed quickly with maximum power and speed. During plyometric drills, your muscles build and store energy while your muscles are lengthening. Making sure that this mechanism of storing and releasing energy efficiently is the key to athletic performance. If you don't want a quick contraction of the muscle following the lengthening phase, all the stored energy is lost. Broad Jumps, Box Jumps, Lateral Hops, Skater Hops, Scissor Jumps, Lateral Box Shuffle, Squat Jumps, Split Squat, Jumping Lunges etc. are a few examples of Plyometric exercises.
