GOLF TIP FOR THE MONTH
DRIVING RANGE RULES
Taking care of the course during the winter
months
How can you help keep the golf course playable during the winter months? Keeping carts
on the paths within 50 yards of the green, filling in divots with sand and fixing ball marks.
One of the major reason for the grass to lay flat
during the cooler months is due to cart tires
rolling the blades of grass. This type of motion
flattens the grass which makes the short game
shots more difficult.

So while it's true that Thanksgiving only comes but once a year,
we should actually celebrate thanks each and every day.
It's just a matter of learning to live with a spirit of gratitude.
Happy Thanksgiving

News from WIC Tennis Association
“Tennis
Shorts”
Did you know?




30% of all tennis players will suffer some
sort of tennis injury each year. With people playing tennis longer and longer, this
statistic is likely to rise annually.
The most common injuries associated
with tennis are rotator cuff (shoulder tendonitis), tennis elbow, wrist strains, hand
pains and knee pains. What’s the best
thing you can do to avoid these injuries?
Warm up! Not only do muscles “work
better” once you’ve increased the temperature in them, but a warm up also increases blood flow and oxygen to the
muscles, improving the speed of nerve
impulses and increasing your range of
motion at the joints. A good warm up
should be a gentle jog ( or other form of
pulse raiser) as well as dynamic or active
stretching drills and tennis specific exercises. Your warm up should last between
15 and 30 minutes and the effects will
wear off after 30 minutes, so don’t start
too soon.
Proper equipment and technique also
make a huge difference If you’re feeling
some aches and pains, check with Amy or
Alan in the Tennis Shop. New shoes, new
racquets or even some new techniques
can all make a difference in how you feel
on and off the court.

It has been a very busy Fall Season at the courts
with Savannah Tennis League matches on Thursdays
in divisions in C2, C1, B2, B1, A2 and A1 in the
Westin/WIC A1 Team.
We have also been hosting USTA teams in the new
40+ age group, as well as the original Adult/18+
Saturday Leagues, Mixed Doubles and will begin
play in the Seniors’ 55+ Division the first week of
November. Be sure to reserve courts early if you
plan to play because league matches and practices
are happening quite frequently.
Call Amy or Alan in the Tennis Shop if you are interested in joining a tem or want to schedule a lesson or hitting session with the “best pros in town”!
Don’t forget our “gentle reminders…
~Call ahead for court reservations. 897-0332
~ All guests MUST be signed in.
~ Please adhere to proper etiquette and clothing.
~Please turn off the lights if you are the last to leave.
