CHARLES CRAVEN, PGA, Rules
Environmentally Sensitive Area markers; The local rule
will govern the play from this area. Normally stakes tip
are Green with what kind of condition the area are
designated. The white stakes with green are Out-ofBound, Yellow with green is water hazard, and Red with
green tip is lateral hazard. You are prohibited from
entering the environmentally sensitive area, so all play
must be outside of the staked area with appropriate
penalty applied. The area may be also marked as
ground under repair, see local rule, no penalty.
Tip of the Month
To expand on last month’s tip, let me take you to the
top of the swing of the take-a-way. As you swing
(rotate) your body toward the target the hand and
elbow is moving away (parallel to your rib cage) to
create maxim arc for greater distance. Further you can
separate from your body, faster the club head will be.
The back shoulder does not dip down but should be
moving toward the target. (Feels flat) Practice this move
in slow motion first to get the coordination, balance,
and the feel for the swing and gradually speed it up to
your liking. You will be standing on your front leg when
you finish the swing, and the back leg’s heel will be off
the ground facing away from the target.
BILL TIFFANY, Social Director
NOTE: due to catering cost increases, we will need to raise the luncheon cost from $5.00 to $8.00 starting with the
February luncheon. Further evaluation may be needed in the future.
The luncheon for February will be spaghetti and Italian sausage rain or shine. BT
DENNIS MURPHY, Newsletter Editor
The series on “Why do golf stretches?” has now
been put to rest. As I’m sure you will recall, there
were nine sessions that comprised the total series
from The Mayo Clinic specifically for golfers. I
anyone wishes to receive the complete series in one
document, I would be happy to provide them to
you. I’m sure you will agree that stretching is a
worthwhile activity for golfers and in particular the
members of the Colony Men’s Golf Club. Even if
you utilized one or two stretches each day you will
receive a benefit from them. Let me know of your
interest at [email protected] or give me a call
at 909.241.6727.
*****NEWS FLASH*****
There has been a rumor going around that the “BANDITS” have dis-banded. I would like to take this
opportunity to announce that the BANDITS are alive and well. The Friday activity has been picked up by our
CMGC Treasures, Bill Braun [698-9454]. So if you have been a regular or occasional player in the BANDITS
competition head on out to the Cal Oaks pro shop on Friday at 8:00 am for a morning on the links.
Those who have yen for “happy” competition in the shamble format Friday 8:00 am also offers the Good Ole
Boys with Don Dooley [698-1098] at the helm.
Don’t forget that Wednesday 8:00 am offers a variety of games of play with the Men’s Club, contact
tournament chairmen Billy Brown [600-7654 or sign up on our website at www.colonymgc.com].
NOTE: If anyone has a harmless, humorous or somewhat humorous [I would be happy to twist a few facts a little] golf story that
you might like to share with the readers of the Newsletter, please forward to me. Any story submitted will be the property of the
CMGC Newsletter. Names may be changed [or left out] to protect the anonymity of the submitter. Humor is the best medicine and
there is no humor better than when we can laugh at ourselves. The Editor, dennisMurphy
