Each resident may book a foursome of players at an in-season rate of $55 per player and $40 per player during the November to March off season. This price includes green fee, driving range usage and golf cart. We take tee times for residents three days in advance at 787-1800 ext 2. Men, please remember our simple dress code of no denim, collared golf shirts and caps worn forward at all times. For our female golfers, we request no denim, spaghetti-strapped tops, bare midriffs or short shorts. Proper footwear such as golf shoes or tennis shoes is required.*All times are weather depending. Please call the golf shop at 787-1800 ext 2.

Residents may access the putting green and chipping/ pitching area in addition to the driving range for an all-inclusive price of $15.

Winter/Snow Season

We kindly ask that you refrain from winter activities on both of our golf courses during the winter season. We do not allow tubing, tobogganing, sledding, saucering, skiing, snowboarding or any other winter activity on either course during winter months. Damage caused by these activities becomes apparent in the spring and playing conditions are greatly sacrificed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Golf Tip — Putting

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 fundamentals in the comfort of your own home.

I recommend a few basic fundamentals – ball placed slightly left of center (for right handers), eyes over ball and equal back, equal through 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 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 regardless of the length of putt they face.

Short putt = short back and slower through – at X tempo | Long putt = longer back and faster through – ALSO at X tempo You can purchase an inexpensive app for your smartphone to monitor your tempo. I use Metron.

Need help with putting this winter? Have your putting stroke evaluated on our TOMI Putting Stroke Analyzer at the country club golf shop 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 appointment.

fitness classes L.I.F.T.

We are introducing a new drop-in class to the fitness schedule starting November 7. L.I.F.T., or Less Intense Functional Training, will focus on body conditioning to increase flexibility and control weight through low impact maneuvers and exercise. The class, scheduled from 12–1 pm, will stand in lieu of our Water Fitness class during the winter.

For a complete description of all our classes, please visit the fitness class page of our website at mysomersett.com.

Personal Training

Personal training is a great way to get personalized routines designed to increase your performance and fitness results. And if you’re new to the gym or coming back after some time off, our personal trainers can help you get back into shape safely with faster results. Please check out the sports tab of our website for personal training specials and tips.

The Club at Town Center has a great fitness tool to track personal achievements. Fitassess.com is a web-based fitness assessment program that gives personal trainers the tools to conduct a complete physical assessment for their clients. Tests include BMI, blood pressure, body fat analysis, body measurements, cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and muscular endurance. The program compiles these results for a ranking that is compared to national averages, and it also provides a number for a body’s fitness age. This information is useful for determining a starting point and making it easy to set realistic goals. It’s also a means of tracking your overall improvement, which boosts motivation and keeps you focused on your training. For more information or to set up your physical assessment session, please speak to any of our personal trainers.

Our Halloween pumpkins are being replaced with brightly colored lights, and plans are underway for our holiday feasts. As we move into the final season of 2013, we have some great events planned for our Sierra Canyon residents, such as our Tom Turkey Pot Luck, “No Frills” Line Dancing Party, a Holiday Craft Fair, the Eldorado “Ice Fantasy” dinner show, our Holiday Magic Winter Ball and last, but certainly not least, our New Year’s Eve celebration!

The New Year will bring an array of fun events ranging from educational seminars to chili cook-offs, barbeques, sock hops and off-site tours, all available to you right here at the Aspen Lodge.

I hope you enjoy all our area has to offer. From beautiful Lake Tahoe and some of the best skiing in the country to events right here in Sierra Canyon, there is something for every taste.
