He has since been working with andtraining our other professionals about the relationships between golf and fitness. We now are able to put you through a fitnessscreen that will evaluate your fitness level as needed for efficient golf. Then, if you are interested, we have a group of trainers thatwe have been working with who can help you to get rid of your physical limitations. You will be on your way to better golf and feelbetter throughout your day. For more information on this program, please contact a member of our professional staff.Are you in this group? We have often heard the definition of insanity as repeating the same task while expecting differentresults. For many people, this happens everyday when they go to the course. Golfers go to the course with a new tip they just readin the latest golf magazine and feel like they have finally figured the game out. Only after a couple of shots, they realize they havenot increased their proficiency at all.Why are you not improving? Research shows that most golfers are not improving their ball striking abilities because theirbodies cannot perform the athletic motion, due to some deficiency in their flexibility or stability. These limitations create swingcompensations that negatively affect the mechanics of the motion. Through research from TPI (Titleist Performance Institute), wenow know exactly how physical limitations affect golf performance.What is TPI? The Titleist Performance Institute is the industry leader in golf health and fitness, and they work with some of thetop golfers in the world. It has an advisory board comprised of an elite group of outstanding professionals in a variety of fields thataffect golf performance such as: medical, golf, fitness, junior golf, nutrition, biomechanics, and education. Through their research,programs, and education, we are able to better understand exactly how a person’s body can affect golf performance.6

Golf Course NewsHopefully, by the time you have received this newsletter we will have made it through this veryhot and long summer. Our greens on both courses have survived very well with the exceptionof our new #2 green on the Old Course. Newly constructed greens often take several years tomature and establish under normal weather conditions. We will continue to stress programsthat will assist our new #2 green to establish a good and healthy root system through the Falland into the Winter.With a dry Fall and Winter predicted, we will have to continue to keep our attention andfocus on the water quality and volume of our water wells, which we are utilizing to irrigate theGreg HintonOld Course greens. We will continue to apply gypsum and flush irrigate greens on Mondays,Dir. of Golf Course Maint.which may result in wet green surrounds. Of course it goes without saying, a nice .5” or morerain for the Old Course would be great.Our focus this Fall on both golf courses will be excellent putting surfaces and programs that will help our still weak Bermudagrass fairways at the Old Course get through what could be possibly another dry and cold Winter.Our fairways on both courses have responded very well to our new soil and water amendment programs. These programs helpbuffer our highly saline soils to improve turfgrass quality and health.Sign up for Weekly GCM Updates by emailing: ghinton@odessacc.comi want the hospital that knowstime is criticalYou and your family have come to trust the fast, effective cardiac care atORMC, but there is another emergency that is just as critical.

They prefer water hazards, sandbunkers and grass bunkers as being morepenal and the desired methods of penalizingerrant golf shots.23
