Spring is upon us. (Thank you Mr. Groundhog!! Lol) What this means is that we get to work on our golf etiquette and basic rule we all need to abide by. 1) Let faster groups play through when they are waiting. 2) Use the cart paths around the greens!!!! The rule is 30 yards from the green. You are in violation if you are on the other side from the cart path and besides this is needless. Our cart paths are plenty close to each and every green. 3) Use the 90 degree rule off all cart paths!!!! See how many cart tracks you see where the cart path bends off of the tee box where people have driven straight off of them. Go down and across to your golf ball. 4) Do not drive on the Durant 9 par 3 course!! CART PATH ONLY! 5) And last but not least sand all divots. If you need sand bottles let us know. If we don’t have them we can get them for you. Repair all ball marks on greens. Our greens are small – repair yours and one other! 6) Thank you for reading these few simple requests. We have a change to the tournament schedule. We had a tournament scheduled for March 23 – 24 but we have many conflicts in the area. We have moved this event to April 5 – 6. The annual Shreveport trip is scheduled for April 22-23-24 when we aerify the greens. MARK YOUR CALENDERS MARCH 20 – L.G.A.

Jim Benge News Around the Bend 14 March 2013 Robotic surgery here at home. 66546_LAKE_Robot_7_5X9_5bw.indd 1 12/5/12 10:33 AM News Around the Bend 15 March 2013 DeCordova Travel Club News Robot-assisted surgery significantly improves a surgeon’s ability to see and work in confined spaces without disturbing tissue and muscle as typically occurs with traditional open surgery and laparoscopic procedures. LGMC patients requiring hysterectomy, complex general surgery, transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), and Lap-Band surgery have all benefited from having this advanced technology, closer to home. The da Vinci robot enables surgeons to perform delicate procedures through very small incisions with the aid of a tiny high-definition camera. Potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery may include: • less pain • minimal scarring • quicker return to daily living • shorter hospital stay At press time, LGMC’s da Vinci team is nearing another remarkable milestone – the 200th robot-assisted surgery in the first year of implementation. Bradley Hart, Md, PhD Misty Vandever, MD, OB/GYN Pete Krone, MD, OB/GYN Don Howser, MD Meet the da Vinci Robot!

Although the look is new, the organization remains almost untouched. User ID of your choice - Unfortunately you will have to register again but you will be able to use your member number as you do now or one of your choice. Favorite webpage – You will be able to save it as a favorite as you do with other sites. Timing Out - Simply click on “keep me logged in” and it will not log you off! More room for information on each page - The side links are moved to the top so there is more room across the page. As a result some pages have been combined. Able to find DCBE with a Web Search -’ ‘Search Engine Optimization’ will make it easy to find DCBE not only for you but for those planning events such as weddings and for those looking for homes. Realize that it will take a while before the search engines index DCBE. If you want to help, do searches on places like Google, Bing and Yahoo to help us become visible. Statements Viewed by all Property Owners - Your 5 digit member number and second member number that ends with ‘a’ will remain the same, with both being able to have separate login IDs, but both will be able to see the statements and make payments but when making a payment it must be applied to the primary account. From the time your new account is established it will take 2-3 days before the last 12 months of statements are available for viewing. Dining & Calendar – Information is open to the public, which means that you can view them without logging in. Note that only Clubhouse Events will be listed on the Dining page, but all events will be on the Calendar. Real Estate Marketing – a separate page will be available for realtors as well as members to market their properties. Newsletter Property Ads will for now be on a separate public page. Proofed Pages - Have you seen web pages that are not complete? That was because as the pages were being worked on, saved, proofed, edited, they were open for viewing! Now editing and proofing can be done before publishing. That does not guarantee no mistakes! Different Photos on each Page - Photos can be changed on most pages. Roster Enhancements Use ‘Edit My Personal Info” to change data such as your telephone number. Choose to hide information by simply checking ‘hide’ beside the information you do not want made public. When the primary owner is displayed, their spouse and other relatives will also be listed, unless you opted to hide them. Birth Month and Day is defaulted to display but not the Year, but this can also be hidden. If the club has photo of you on record, it is displayed, but you can hide it or upload your own photo. Members searches though have a drawback – you much enter EITHER a LAST or FIRST name, not both. The advantage is that if you know the first name but not the last, you can try to find them that way.
