Dear Fellow Members: In order to ensure we reach as many members as possible, this article covers much of the material in my letter sent to members in late May. I hope all the golfers are enjoying the newly renovated Halfway House! For members and guests, the Halfway House is now on par with our wonderful golf course and makes for an enhanced golfing experience. Coupled with last year’s renovation and upgrade to the Clubhouse Bar, the Club is doing an excellent job

of enhancing the member experience with intelligent spending. In addition, the Club keeps pace with significant capital projects needed to maintain our facilities. Over the last two years, the clubhouse roof was replaced. Starting June 4, the front parking lot (south of the clubhouse) is getting an entire makeover, the first in 55 years improving aesthetics and safety. Of greatest impact, the front steps will be totally re-built, include planters and a better pitch-and-rise for safety, and the parking lot asphalt will be totally replaced. The project will take approximately four weeks. During those four weeks, the front lot will be available for use every weekend and unavailable for a limited number of days. The staging of the project is as follows: Phase 1 During this time, the front lot will be available for parking

• Removal of front steps

• Removal of sidewalk and blue painted curbs

• Build new entry steps and planters

• Install new paver sidewalk similar to the patio pavers

• Install “zero entry” curb

• Install new parking lot light near front entrance Phase 2 During this time, the front lot will be completely shut down and unavailable for only two weekdays

• Mill down asphalt around curbing

• Remove isolated soft spots where asphalt has deteriorated, compact sub grade (replace if necessary), and infill base course asphalt

• Install drain tile across parking lot

• Overlay parking lot with 1.5 inches of asphalt

• Restripe lot The Club strives to spend its available capital wisely for both member enhancement and needed maintenance projects. We hope you enjoy the impact for many years to come! Sincerely, Jim Moar

Guest Policy at the Pool Guests of members and adult children of members must be accompanied by the member to utilize the Pool and Tennis Complex. Please review the new Pool & Tennis Best Practices brochure. They were included with your April statement and they are available at the Front Desk and Pool check-in Desk.

Pool Closing Time Just a reminder about Pool and Tennis Complex closing time. Our Conditional Use Permit or CUP requires that we close the Pool and Tennis Complex at sunset each night. Sunset times will be posted in the Check-in Desk window each day. Your staff will be giving you a 45 minute last call for food and a 30 minute last call for beverages each evening. Please be understanding when your wait staff asks you for your last order of the evening. Hats in the Clubhouse Just a little dress code reminder. Hats are welcome in the Card Room, but we ask that you remove them when dining in the Bar or President’s Room. Hive to Bottle We have teamed up with the University of Minnesota’s Bee Lab. Their Bee Squad has given us a honey bee colony. This colony is located on the golf course behind the Turf Center. During the first year the colony will be establishing itself. Next year we should start reaping the benefits which include harvesting and keeping the honey the colony produces. A single colony can produce up to 100lbs of honey per year. Pretty cool! EpiPens Available Once again we will have EpiPens available. They are located in the Halfway House, Pool and Bill carries one on his cart. Vegtable & Herb Garden As we enter our seventh season of planting a vegetable and herb garden, we have grown a little ourselves. With limited space we now plant only items we know we can use on a daily basis. For the herbs, we plant basil, chives, rose-mary, parsley and thyme. For the vegetables, we plant: big boy tomatoes, a few cherry tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and bush beans. This year for fun we planted some pumpkins. When you get a moment, please take a look at it. The garden is located in the front of the Club next to the pool.

Do you need a new putter? Maybe? Around 50% of all our shots are putts and the putter is by far the most used club in your bag. If you look at any professional tournament, it is almost always the player that putts the best that wins and not usually the one who can drive it consistently over 300 yards. Here are some of the differences to know about putters TYPES OF PUTTER Face Balanced Putters: Face balanced putters are those whose face faces upwards when you balance the shaft on your finger. This will mean that the centre of gravity is directly below the axis of the shaft. Basically meaning it will straighten a putting stroke on the forward motion. This type of balance will suit those who have a straight stroke that goes 'back and through'. Toe Balanced Putters: Toe balanced putters are those whose toe was points to the ground when you

balance the shaft on your finger. This means the centre of gravity is not directly below the shaft axis. This type of balance will suit a player with a in to out to in stroke. Whichever style you prefer, you will find when you are switching putters it is better to stay with the type of face balance you are using as they require different types of strokes. However, with all this technology, if a putter feels good to you then you should use it, because the most important part of putting is confidence. PUTTER HEAD DESIGNS Blade Putters: The oldest and most traditional type of putter is the blade. Using a relatively small head, its classic design is widely used by players worldwide. The simple flat look offers a large degree of confidence to a player and the soft hit produced is likable on many types of greens. The safe choice when it comes to putters, they are traditional suited to hard, faster greens that require soft control. Blade putters tend to be face balanced, meaning they will suit a player with a straight putting stroke. Peripheral Weighted Putters: The peripheral weighted or heel-toe weighted putter is known as the 'Ping-Anser' look after the original version of this style. A common choice with professionals and amateurs the peripheral weighted putter has more of head to it than a blade putter, but this also means it is not face balanced. If you balanced the peripheral weighted putter, the toe would face the ground. Suited to players who have an in to out stroke. Mallet Putters: The alternative to the blade putter for many years has been the mallet headed putter. Heavier than a blade putter due to its size, the mallet putter more closely resembles a wood than a conventional putter. The deep design of the putter's head allows manufacturers to have a lower and deeper centre of gravity that is far away from the face, reducing backspin on your putts. Often with an insert on the face, they promote a soft hit from a large head. Most mallet had putters are face-balanced and would suit a straight through and back stroke. PUTTER SHAFTS & HOSELS Putters almost always have steel shafts for maximum feel. Where the shaft meets the putter head is the hosel and there are a few options: Heel-Shafted Putters: Meaning the shaft connects the putter at the heel (or inside) of the head Centre-shafted putters: Meaning the shaft connects at the centre of the putterhead. This is a personal preference decision. All golfers pay close attention to the hosel of the putter and some like to have the hosel at the centre to lead the ball towards the hole, others prefer heel-shafted putters that let them guide the putt with the putterhead. Hosel Offset: Another variation in some putters is an offset at the hosel. This is when the hosel is bends backwards to move the bottom of the shaft ahead of the face of the putter to draw a player's hands ahead of the ball through impact. Virtually all putters have some degree of offset in them (as do most golf clubs), but the example below is your standard offset, whereas the examples of centre and heel shafted putters shown below have little or no offset. PUTTER GRIPS Unlike all other clubs in your bag, many different grip options are available to your putter. The putter is the only grip that, under the rules of the game, can have a flat edge. Commonly this flat edge is placed facing away you body, to help guide you on exactly where your thumbs should be on your grip. Manufacturers have developed a host of materials available for putters. Different sizes are also offered to improve your ability on the greens. A thicker grip helps take your hands and wrists out of the stroke, which is what golfers seek to do to improve their putting. The drawback of a thicker grip is that you wont get the feel of a thinner grip and if you are feel putter or have a stroke that involves a lot of wrist action, then you are more suited to a thin grip.

Chef ’s Corner - John Kain, Executive Chef There has been a lot of hype around coconut water lately. Yet, this all natural beverage has been enjoyed by people around the world for thousands of years. What is it that sets coconut water apart from other beverages on the market today? I wanted to learn more about the nutrition facts and benefits of coconut water. Here is what I found:

1. Coconut water is rich in essential electrolytes. Electrolytes are electrically charged ions that help your cells maintain and transmit voltages and impulses to and from other cells. Electrolytes play a vital role in your body, especially in maintaining proper functionality of your nerves, heart, and other muscles. The electrolytes present in your body include: Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphate, Bicarbonate, and Sulfate. Of these electrolytes, coconut water contains about 600 mg of potassium (17 percent of your daily value) per serving. That’s more than a banana. Coconut water is also rich in: Magnesium, 60 mg per serving or 15 percent of your daily value; Sodium, 252 mg per serving or 11 percent of your daily value and Calcium, 58 mg per serving or 6 percent of your daily value. But if these electrolytes are

already in your body, why would you need to ingest more? Every time you sweat or lose a lot of fluids due to sickness, you also lose important electrolytes, especially potassium and sodium. In order to repair your body, you need to replenish your electrolyte levels with foods and drinks that are rich in electrolytes.

2. Coconut water contains zero additives. Coconut water is an all natural beverage that comes from its source, a young, green coconut. That said, coconut water’s one and only ingredient is coconut water, which means it’s additive-free. Very few beverages on the market today can say that. Most juice blends, sodas, and sports drinks contain huge amounts of refined sugars, artificial colors, preservatives and high fructose corn syrup blends.

3. Coconut water is fat-free and low in calories. Fat-free coconut water contains a mere 46 calories per serving and zero grams of fat and zero grams of trans fat. Meanwhile, most sports drinks and sodas contain harmful trans fats that should and can easily be avoided.

4. Coconut water is cholesterol-free. As it contains no fat or trans fat, coconut water also contains zero cholesterol. Many sodas and sports drinks can contain between 15 mg and 30 mg (5-10% of your daily value) of cholesterol per serving.

5. Coconut water contains all natural sugar. Coconut water contains about 6 g of sugar per serving. However, the sugar in coconut water is all natural fruit sugar, not refined sugar that you find in highly processed foods and drinks.

6. Coconut water is rich in vitamins. The vitamins in coconut water help you maintain healthy cellular function, boost your immunity and promote your metabolism. The essential vitamins in coconut water include:

Vitamin C Vitamin C helps boost immunity. Each serving of coconut water contains about 5.8 mg of vitamin C, which is about 10 percent of your daily value.

B Vitamins Coconut water contains vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1) and Folate (B9). These B vitamins work together to breakdown foods and create energy by boosting metabolism. B vitamins also have other important roles in your body. For instance, B6 helps your body produce amino acids needed to build protein. B6 also promotes metabolism and the creation of neurotransmitters. In addition, Riboflavin assists in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, Thiamin maintains healthy nervous and circulatory systems, and Folate promotes healthy mental function and brain development, especially in fetuses.

7. Coconut water is a natural diuretic. As a diuretic, coconut water increases urine flow.

8. Coconut water contains a large amount of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber helps you digest food, and it also shortens waste transit time through the intestinal tract. Like a diuretic, dietary fiber helps to rid your body of harmful toxins. Coconut water contains about 3 g of dietary fiber per serving, which is about 11% of your daily value.

9. Coconut water contains protein. Protein is absolutely necessary for the growth and repair of your muscles, bones, hair, skin, and eyes. Protein is also essential for digestion and the creation of antibodies. Coconut water provides you with about 2 g of protein per serving, which makes up about 4% of your daily value.

10. Coconut water is safe to drink for all ages. Because coconut water is all natural, fat-free, and low in sugars and calories while being rich in essential electrolytes and vitamins, it’s safe for almost anyone to drink.

Tip of the Month Low Volleys or Short Hop- the low volley can be a tough shot for some players. You have to be able to judge whether to take the ball in the air, short hop it, or back up to hit a groundstroke. 1. If the ball is slow, you can either move at the ball and volley it or back up and ground stroke it. 2. If the ball is moving faster, you should set your feet and volley or short hop it from where you currently are. The key to a good low volley is getting your racquet head below the ball, and punching up with a short quick motion. Keeping the racquet head square to your target. It is important to anticipate the drop of the ball so your racquet head is well below your point of contact. The common error people make is that they do not anticipate the drop of the opponents shot. Their racquet ends up being higher than the ball and they chop down or scoop the volley or short hop. This causes their shot to go into the net, float, or fly out.
