5 From our Superintendent s Quill Shaun Satterly October saw a very busy month for the Course Maintenance Team with the over seeding being completed at the end of September which required considerable care & attention. In addition, the pending Ladies European Tour event scheduled for early November has demanded careful execution to bring the course through a grow in phase for preparing the course for tournament play. Much time and effort was engaged to help ensure a good establishment of the perennial rye whilst best ensuring members' enjoyment of the course. Thank You all members for your patience during this time as additional irrigation was required to establish the rye and at times the course conditions were quite wet. Now that establishment has begun, the course is beginning to present and play very well and as we continue to move through the winter I am expecting conditions to continue to improve. The Team and I are looking forward to enjoying the pleasant drop in temperatures and I hope the coming months prove to be good golfing weather along with excellent playing conditions. Gym exercises to do if you have back pain If you have back pain and are trying to start exercising, there are six areas that you must include within your workout routine if you want to get better. 1. Pushing exercises : In your normal daily routine, you push doors open, the occasional piece of furniture and maybe even your kids on their favourite toy. The gym is your training ground for what you do in everyday life. Perform pushing exercises where you engage your core. It will stabilize you for anything you run across in your everyday routine. 2. Pulling exercises: If you are pushing things, you need to balance it out by pulling things as well. Again, try to find exercises that engage your core. It gives you a great workout while also strengthening your core. 3. Lifting exercises: We pick up things from the floor every day, but you need to practice lifting things from the floor properly. This is a great way to engage your core and strengthen your legs and hips. You don t need a fancy machine for this exercise. Just place a dumbbell on the floor, squat down and lift it properly. Start with a light weight and work up to a heavier weight over time. It s a simple exercise, but it s a great workout. 4. Cardiovascular endurance : Most people do not irritate their back from picking up things that are too heavy. They injure it because they are tired from working all day, bending over and picking up something incorrectly and then hurt their back. If you build up your cardiovascular endurance by using the treadmill, bike or elliptical, you will protect your back later on. 5. Core strength: You have probably heard how important core strength is but you may not have known what to do. One of the best exercises for core strength is known as a plank or abs. This strengthens your inner abdominal muscles and gives support to the lower back. 6. Leg and hip strength: The most important muscles for your back are your gluteus maximus (butt muscles). If you can make these muscles stronger, they will position your hip in a better position to take pressure off your back and they will give support to your back so you use those muscles instead of your back when you lift things. If you are going to focus on any one muscle, this is the one to focus on. If you have back pain, focus on these aspects. It will make all the difference between you getting better or making your back pain worse. Not every exercise is appropriate for you, so it s important to stop if you feel pain. With patience, diligence and the right guidance, you can get better.

6 Academy News Karan's Tips Play the Long Bunker Shot with Consistency This Month's Achievers DLF GOLF ACADEMY Pic 1: The shot at hand looks scary, however, playing it with some of these basics will help avoid big numbers. Jahanvi Bakshi Jahanvi Bakshi won the 11th Airtel Army Open Championship held at AEPTA, New Delhi. She also participated in the IGU Chandigarh Ladies and Junior Girls Golf Championship held at Chandigarh Golf Club where she held the second position. Hitaashee Bakshi Hitaashee Bakshi won the DLF trophy in the 11th Army Open Championship held at AEPTA, Delhi. Eshika Arora finished second in Category A, in the IGU Northern India Ladies and Junior Girls Golf Championship held at the Noida Golf Club. Pic 2: Set up with the ball positioned a bit forward of centre, and choke down on the club. Play this shot with a 9-iron or a PW instead of a SW. The longer shaft and lower loft will help in getting the added distance. A lot of errors are made when we try to hit the ball 'clean' and this can cause the ball to fly inconsistent distances. Pic 3: Shows that the back swing is made mainly with the turn of the upper body, with the lower body staying quiet. From here, try to hit the sand a couple of inches behind the ball and accelerate through to finish. 'Forcing' the shot can cause misshits. Allow the turn of the upper body through the ball to generate the speed required. Aravvir Singh Bachal with his coach Kaka Kohli Aravvir Singh Bachal, came second in the IGU Junior Golf Tournament held at the Golden Greens Golf Club with a score of 3 and 2 over in two days and also stood first in School Golf League 2017 played at the Tarudhan Valley, Gurgaon. Ishaan Ahuja On the 12th, Ishaan Ahuja aced his Hole-in-One! He conquered Hole No 8 on the Arnold Palmer Course. This stunning moment was witnessed by his coach Rattan Singh.

7 BMW Golf Clinic Rapt Audience listens to Shiv Kapur The BMW Clinic with Shiv Kapur saw a fantastic turn out at the Academy on a pleasant morning.

Stay fit with Shilpa Arora Coconut oil - the miracle oil. For years we were told that saturated fat clogs arteries. But there are 3 different types of saturated fats, and coconuts contain the healthiest type with medium chain fatty acids( MCFAs) that will actually help you lose weight while keeping you healthy. Whereas other fats are stored in the body, MCFAs in coconut oil are directly sent to the liver where they are converted into energy. So when you eat coconut or consume coconut oil your body uses the food immediately for energy rather than storing it as body fat. Plus in addition to all this coconut oil is an amazing fat for your skin-- internally and externally. Shilpa Arora ND For Appointments contact Bandana Anitya Chand Launch Angle Launch Angle is the angle that the golf ball takes off at and is measured relative to the horizon. It is highly correlated to the dynamic loft that the club presents to the golf ball at impact. The launch angle of the golf ball is the highest with the sand wedge or the lob wedge as these are the two clubs with the highest loft and is the lowest with the driver or the three-wood as the loft is the lowest in these clubs. The two main factors determining the launch angle of the golf ball are dynamic loft of the club and the angle of attack that the club head has. In most circumstances, the launch angle will always be a little less than dynamic loft, but will have a similar value. With respect to the angle of attack, with all other aspects being equal, the steeper the angle of attack, the lower the launch angle of the golf ball and vice versa. Along with ball speed, launch angle is a primary component to determining the height and distance of a shot. Every golfer should be fitted to achieve the optimal balance of launch angle and spin rate based on their club speed and ball speed. This goes a long way in optimizing the total carry as well as the total distance of the drive. Generally speaking, most golfers will benefit in distance if they actually launch the golf ball higher, which actually seems hard to believe as most players feel that the lower they launch the ball, the further it will go. Research shows us that for the driver, a club speed of 94 mph and an attack angle of 0 degrees, an optimized distance results with a launch angle of 13.6 degrees. Similarly, for a 6-iron with a club speed of 80 mph, a midtrajectory results in a launch angle of 16.9 degrees. For a PW with a club speed of 72 mph, a mid-trajectory results in a launch angle of 26.7 degrees. Therefore, the launch angle changes as the club gets shorter and the loft of the club increases.
