For the ladies, we request no denim, spaghetti-strap tops, bare midriffs or short shorts. Proper footwear, such as golf shoes or tennis shoes, is required.

Driving Range Somersett residents are encouraged to utilize the driving range at the country club. With the SOA/country club agreement, range usage is complimentary. From November through April, residents may use the south side where we are always on mats. The cost to access the putting green and chipping area in the winter is $10. Please check in with the golf shop. Juniors must be accompanied by an adult.

GOLF TIP: Putting

By Stuart Smith—PGA Director of Golf

A

s we head into winter and temperatures prevent many of us from heading out to the golf course, it is a great time to work on some easy putting fundamentals in the comfort of our homes.

I recommend a few simple putting fundamentals: • Ball placed slightly left of center (right-handers) with hands a little ahead of the ball.

• Eyes over ball line/target line.

• Equal length back, equal length through with the putter head.

Remember the motion of the putter includes shoulders, arms, hands, putter grip and putter head all working at the same tempo. Putting is not just a hands activity if you are striving for consistency.

PGA and LPGA tour players have tempos of 62–72 beats per minute regardless of the length of putt they face. This equates to approximately .90 seconds of elapsed time. The “holy grail” of putting tempo is 2:1 as evidenced by most great players. This would equal .60 seconds on the backstroke and .30 seconds on the through stroke. Most importantly you should recognize

the importance of acceleration through the ball. All golf greats have that trait.

SHORT PUTT = short back and slower through – .90 seconds at 2:1 tempo LONG PUTT = longer back and faster through – .90 seconds at 2:1 tempo You can purchase an inexpensive App for your smartphone to help you with this. I use Metron, but just about any metronome app would work. To monitor speeds and tempo, I recommend a Blast Motion sensor.

Need help with your putting this winter? Set up a lesson in our new Short Game Arena here at the country club. Our staff can be reached at 787-1800, ext. 2, or email me at ssmith@somersett.com to set up an appointment.

Somersett Cares and Somersett Shares

T

he Helping Hands Barrel, located in the foyer at The Club at Town Center, serves as a convenient way to collect gently used clothing, shoes, kitchen items, sheet sets, towels and more for distribution to people in need. Many of you use it often—it always seems to be full!

In November we will collect jackets, sweatshirts and other warm clothing for veterans and the homeless.

We also have a Paws and Claws donation box for pet items such as dog and cat food, water and food bowls, toys, leashes and collars, brushes/grooming tools, pet beds and towels. All donated items go to local pet shelters.

The Helping Hands Barrel and the Paws and Claws box are checked, maintained and items distributed by the Wild Whimsical Women. This group of between 110–115 women live mainly in Somersett, with a few members hailing from Verdi and Midtown Reno.

Fall Plays

Saturday, November 3, 6–8 pm Doors open at 5:30 pm Sunday, November 4, 1:30–3:30 pm Doors open at 1 pm | $10/person The Theater Group has done it again, writing original scripts for two of the plays, as well as poems.

“Checking – In,” by Sierra Canyon resident Edie Cartwright, is about unsuspecting individuals who are surprised to find themselves waiting in line, not knowing how they got there or why.

In “Best Try Electronics,” written by Sierra Canyon residents Van Brenner and Harold Allred, a displeased customer tries to return an item that doesn’t work anymore. How many days past the purchase date will the electronics store still honor the receipt?

The final play, “Noah,” is by Bob Rinfret. Can the unskilled Noah overcome the building obstacles and rejection he encounters as he attempts to build an Ark? You will be entertained before each play by poems cleverly written with Sierra Canyon seniors in mind. “Ring of Fire” and “Home on the Range” are by Van Brenner and “The Saga of Sam Brown” is

by Doris Deming.

Light refreshments will be served.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

In 2009,

Brian Williams, a local Reno resident, was asked to speak to a school to help reduce bully-related incidents in their school. Little did he know that his presentation would spark the creation of a non-profit organization and launch a national kindness movement that would impact over 1,000,000 lives around the world.

Brian Williams is the founder of Think Kindness, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspire measurable acts of kindness in schools and communities around the world. His approach to bully prevention is unique, he never even mentions the word bully. Instead, he focuses on kindness.

“Our aim is to make ‘kindness cool.’ And by doing that, we instantly create an environment where children choose to be kind. Immediately decreasing bully-related incidents in schools,” says Williams.

Williams uses competition to immediately get kids excited to be. “It’s more than a 1-hour assembly. It’s a 15 day call-to-action. School versus school, who can make the biggest difference in the world...in just 15 days,” says Williams.

18

The organization has grown immensely since 2009. Now Think Kindness and their team of speakers visit schools across the United States. Last year the organization visited over 178 schools, spoke to over 120,000 students and documented over 580,000 acts of kindness.

But now, the organization has their sites on a bigger project. “We receive great feedback the impact our 15 Day challenge has on schools. But now we wanted to create a year-round program for schools. To create kindness leadership teams that have the sole-purpose to carry-out acts of kindness within their school,� says Williams.

THINK KINDNESS is currently seeking donations and volunteers to help execute and bring this program into fruition. As an organization, 100% of all donations go directly to the cause and is powered by volunteers. If this is something you are interested in, you can visit their website at www.ThinkKindness.org. You can also watch their documentary, INSPIRE HOPE, on Amazon.

19

If you have leftover Halloween candy, consider bringing it to the Club at Town Center to be included in a “sweet treats’’ care package for deployed troops and first responders sent out through Operation Gratitude.

Operation Gratitude annually sends 200,000+ care packages filled with food, entertainment, hygiene and handmade items, plus personal letters of appreciation to veterans, first responders, new recruits, wounded heroes, their caregivers, and to individually named U.S. service members deployed overseas and their families waiting at home. The group’s mission is to lift the spirits and meet the evolving needs of the military and first responder communities and to provide volunteer opportunities for civilians anywhere in America to express their appreciation to all who serve our nation.

Each package contains donated products valued from $45-$100 and costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than 2,100,000 care packages.

THE 4TH ANNUAL

Tahoe Film Festival

T

he 4th Annual Tahoe Film Fest presented by SWEP, Sierra Watershed Education Partnerships, will take place December 6 through 9 at several different locations through the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area, including: Incline Village Cinema, Northstar Village Cinema, Truckee Community Arts Center (downtown Truckee) and the Crystal Bay Club.

Tahoe Film Fest brings over 25 environmental and independent feature length and award winning films. Among the many films to be screened at the festival is “Stay Human,” a documentary film by music star, Michael Franti, who will also be at the festival.

What does it mean to be human? What connects people around the globe? How can we celebrate the beauty of love and life in a world turned upside down? These are just a few of the questions world-renowned musician Michael Franti explores in this captivating and stirring documentary.

Opening night of the festival will feature “The Push,” a film directed by North Tahoe local Grant Korgan, an outdoor sports enthusiast, who is recovering from a spinal cord injury. Grant, along with two seasoned explorers, became the first spinal cord injured athlete to PUSH himself 100 miles across the South Pole. Grant Korgan and other local filmmakers will be present at the festival.

Tahoe Film Fest is celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” This film and accompanying documentary about the making of the film will be shown at the festival. The filmmakers of the documentary will be present.

Special guests will be present and special events will be held each evening in Truckee and at the Crystal Bay Club. For information about the films, schedule and to purchase tickets, visit the website at www.TahoeFilmFest.org or visit the Tahoe Film Fest Facebook page.

Purchase tickets online beginning on November 1 or at the door for individual movies for $12 each, or you can purchase an all access pass, online presale only, for $60 (limited supply available).
