*Sign up by 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 27

Format: 4-Person Scramble

Price includes green fee, cart fee, prizes and lunch

Pro’s Corner

The key to better scores is to stop trying to hit the ball straight and play your curve! Pick smart targets and play to your strengths. If you typically fade the ball (the ball moves to the right), try setting up on the right side of the tee box and aim for the left rough or fairway and swing away. This gives your ball a bigger landing zone in the shorter grass to avoid making the big numbers as if you tried aiming down the center.

AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES

Starting at $50

1. RECEIVER-DRIER

The receiver is a metal container that serves as a storage receptacle for the refrigerant. It’s also referred to as a drier because it absorbs moisture from the refrigerant and filters out particles of debris and acids that would otherwise harm your AC system. Commonly located on the liquid line of the AC system, you should change your drier every three to four years to ensure quality filtration and prevent any damage caused by detrimental chemicals. Our machine vacuums and clears out any moisture in the system to ensure the receiver-drier is functioning properly.

2. COMPRESSOR

The compressor is a belt-driven device that derives its name from compressing refrigerant gas and transferring it into the condenser. While acting as a simple pump, the compressor is the core of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Our machine checks the pressure output of the compressor to make sure it is operating properly.

3. CONDENSER

The condenser’s primary function is to cool the refrigerant. It is a heat dissipating apparatus that radiates heat released by compressed gasses and condenses them into high-pressure liquids. The location of your condenser depends on how new your car is. It is typically found at the front of the vehicle, directly in front of the engine cooling radiator. We make sure your cooling fan is operating properly and that the vanes in the condenser are clean and free of debris.

4. EVAPORATOR

The evaporator is designed to remove heat from the inside of your vehicle. We check the blower motors filter or cabin filter of your car to make sure it is working optimally. Lastly, lines and hoses are inspected by applying vacuums and dye to check for leaks.
