Winter/Snow Season<br />
We kindly ask that you refrain from winter activities on both of our golf<br />
courses during the winter season. We do not allow tubing, tobogganing,<br />
sledding, saucering, skiing, snowboarding or any other winter activity on<br />
either course during winter months. Damage caused by these activities<br />
becomes apparent in the spring and playing conditions are greatly<br />
sacrificed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.<br />
Golf Tip — Putting<br />
As we move into winter and temperatures prevent many of us from heading out to the golf course, take the opportunity to work on simple putting<br />
fundamentals in the comfort of your own home.<br />
I recommend a few basic fundamentals – ball placed slightly left of center (for right handers), eyes over ball and equal back, equal through<br />
with the putter head. Remember that the motion of the putter includes shoulders, arms, hands, putter grip and putter head all working at the same<br />
tempo. Putting is not just a hand activity if you are striving for consistency. PGA and LPGA tour players have tempos of 62–72 beats per minute<br />
regardless of the length of putt they face.<br />
Short putt = short back and slower through – at X tempo | Long putt = longer back and faster through – ALSO at X tempo<br />
You can purchase an inexpensive app for your smartphone to monitor your tempo. I use Metron.<br />
Need help with putting this winter? Have your putting stroke evaluated on our TOMI Putting Stroke Analyzer at the country club golf shop<br />
with Stuart Smith, our PGA director of golf, for $40. Stuart can be reached at 787-1800 ext 705 or email him at ssmith@somersett.com to set an<br />
appointment.<br />

Personal Training<br />
Personal training is a great way to get personalized routines designed to<br />
increase your performance and fitness results. And if you’re new to the<br />
gym or coming back after some time off, our personal trainers can help<br />
you get back into shape safely with faster results. Please check out the<br />
sports tab of our website for personal training specials and tips.<br />
The Club at Town Center has a great fitness tool to track personal<br />
achievements. Fitassess.com is a web-based fitness assessment program<br />
that gives personal trainers the tools to conduct a complete physical<br />
assessment for their clients. Tests include BMI, blood pressure, body<br />
fat analysis, body measurements, cardiovascular fitness, strength,<br />
flexibility and muscular endurance. The program compiles these<br />
results for a ranking that is compared to national averages, and it also<br />
provides a number for a body’s fitness age. This information is useful<br />
for determining a starting point and making it easy to set realistic<br />
goals. It’s also a means of tracking your overall improvement, which<br />
boosts motivation and keeps you focused on your training. For more<br />
information or to set up your physical assessment session, please speak<br />
to any of our personal trainers.<br />

Youth Basketball League<br />
Youth Basketball begins just around the corner in mid-February, and you won’t want<br />
to miss out on this annual league led by Coach John Franklin. It’s a very popular<br />
program, so be on the lookout for registration forms in January and sign up early to<br />
reserve your spot! We will be offering two age groups to better accommodate all of the<br />
children. More details will follow as we approach the end of the year.
Winter Adult Spa<br />
The winter spa will open on Friday, November 1 for use within the<br />
hours of 8 am to 8 pm, and 8 am to 7 pm on Sundays. Usage is strictly<br />
for adults only; no one under the age of 18 will be allowed on the pool<br />
deck. Please check in at the concierge desk to use the spa.<br />
WINTER SPA RULES<br />
1. The winter spa adjacent to the play pool is for adults (18+) only.<br />
2. Extended exposure to hot water or vapors may be detrimental<br />
to the health of elderly persons and persons with heart conditions,<br />
diabetes or high or low blood pressure.<br />
3. People with skin, ear, genital or other body infections, open sores<br />
or wounds should not use the hot tub because of the possibility of<br />
spreading infection.<br />
4. Patrons must not allow water in their mouths as this can cause<br />
infection and illness.<br />
5. The heat of the hot tub water speeds up the effects of alcohol and<br />
can cause sleepiness, dizziness and unconsciousness.<br />
6. Horse playing, splashing and swimming are not permitted in the<br />
spa.<br />
The Club’s professional masseuse, Marian Miller, is<br />
famous for her signature royal treatment and deep tissue<br />

Should a homeowner not respond to or correct a violation, he or she<br />

a variance request is submitted by the owner for consideration and<br />
approval. Side and rear yard landscaping shall be installed within<br />
180 days of issuance of a certificate of occupancy. On Custom Lots,<br />
the front yard and parkway strip must be installed within 90 days of<br />
certificate of occupancy.” Please be aware that your rear and side yard<br />
landscaping need to be submitted for AGC review and approval before<br />
installation of the landscaping, and that landscaping must be installed<br />
within 180 days of the purchase your home. Please follow the guidelines<br />
in order to avoid possible violations and suspension of Club privileges.<br />
To request an extension, email soa@mysomersett.com.<br />
