Greetings from the Trail Boss
Ahh……..here we are in that favorite time of the year again, SUMMER! The days are longer and the great
weather is just around the corner. Looks to me like the course is being well used, the bar and dining room
are busier than ever, and the fun is growing here at our Club.
You have no doubt celebrated with us in some form the fact
that the Club at Crazy Horse Ranch had its first birthday in
May. SO MUCH has happened in that very short year. I can
assure you that our success is in no small way due to all of you,
our members. You are such an important part of our Club and
our success. We look forward to continuing to grow our
membership and continue to add folks that will make our Club
even more awesome than it already is.
You have also noticed all of the little things we have accomplished over the last few months. Little changes on the course
with some cleaning, clearing, and new planting among other
things. You might notice some new trees being added as well.
We hope to be able to add at least one new tree every month.
Keep your eyes posted as we have plenty on our to-do list this year as well.
There are a lot of exciting events planned as the year progresses. I hope that all of you will sign up early
for our events and come join us for some amazing fun, food, and excitement.
As we grow into our second year, I hope that all of you will help us welcome each other’s friends and
guests to our Club. It is such a special feeling when people go out of their way to be friendly and welcoming. Here at CHR, I can assure you that the culture of a welcoming and friendly atmosphere is alive and
well.
WE are the friendliest club on the Central Coast. Please bring a friend and guest to our club. Introduce
them to this special place. Introduce them to the people and introduce them to our staff, and let that magical combination WOW them into considering a membership here at our Club.
I appreciate all of you and look forward to seeing you often on the course or at the Club.
Best to each and every one of you
Don Chapin, President
Retiree
A retiree was given a set of golf clubs by his co-workers.
Thinking he'd try the game, he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining
that he knew nothing whatever of the game.
The pro showed him the stance and swing, then said, "Just hit the ball
toward the flag on the first green."
The novice teed up and smacked the ball straight down the fairway and
onto the green, where it stopped inches from the hole.
"Now what?" the fellow asked the speechless pro.
After he was able to speak again the pro finally said, "Uh...you're supposed
to hit the ball into the cup."
"Oh great! NOW you tell me," said the beginner in a disgusted tone.

An old blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender:
‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says: ‘Before you tell that joke,
Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl with a
‘Billy-Club’. 3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
‘Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy…. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, ‘
No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’

June “Culver” update
This will be the final update regarding the Culver tournament. We are at
97 registered players today, so should easily reach our goal of 100.
Thank you all who have signed up to help on the tournament days June
29 & 30. We still need a few more people to assist with scoring and
some other jobs so please check your calendars to see if you are available to help.
I will be posting the Tee-times and other job times in the Pro Shop within the next couple of weeks.
So Please check there first and then if you have any problems give me a call any evening at 831-6333880. Whenever I have two people in the same family volunteering I will assign them around the
same time so that they will only need one car to get here.
The dinner on Monday night will be open to volunteers and you may charge it ($13.00) to your account. Just let me know Monday morning when you check in if you will be attending so we can give a
count to the kitchen. Breakfast snacks and your lunch will be provided at no charge.
Our shirts for the tournament will be in the Pro Shop shortly. Johnnie has ordered a few extras for
anyone that may not have placed their order yet. Thank you all for participating in this as it gives a
nice professional look to the tournament.
We are looking forward to another great tournament. If you have any questions or special requests
please let me know now before I begin putting it all together.
Thanks again,
Beverly Reinhardt

Tournament Sign-Up REMINDER
With the multiple fun Member Events that we have here at The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch it is important for all of you to
meet the entry deadlines posted on our flyers. Meeting those entry deadlines ensures a successful event that may be presented beautifully by our professional staff. Signing up after the deadline or the day of the event only disrupts flow and
pairings from those who have entered the event appropriately. We all lose when late entries happen. Please note that entering/signing up for our exciting events is defined as physically writing your name on the entry sheet. Call-Ins are not
100% effective as the volume of calls and play may interfere with this process and accuracy. Once a deadline has passed
you will be unable to enter in an event. There may be some exceptions to this rule but may only be approved by myself or
PGA Head Professional Rob Hayes in order to balance out groups or find a partner for the event. Thank you in advance for
your cooperation on making our events here at The Club at Crazy Horse Ranch fun, exciting, and successful!
SPACE IS AVAILABLE!!! Need a place to store your clubs??? SPACE IS AVAILABLE!!!
With all that cool golf gear you plan to buy or already have, where are you going to store it? Why not in our Club Storage
in the General Store (Golf Shop)? There is space still available to store your clubs with a low monthly fee. Please see our
professional staff and we will be happy to assist you!

Robtown Review
Recently with nearly all of my lessons I have noticed many of my students have less than
stellar grips. Often the grips are slick and have far more wear than they should. Is a new
grip going to turn you into a great player? Alone probably not. But remember that so much
of this game is based on feel which comes from proper grip pressure. If you're unable to
apply the correct amount of pressure because of a
slick grip then putting a good swing on the ball is going to be very difficult. If you're wondering if you need
new grips, chances are you do.
Ask any of my students and they will all tell you a common theme in their lessons with me is "let the toe release". Perhaps the most common mistake I see in
people's swings is hitting at the ball and ignoring the
all-important follow through aspect of the swing. Remember that when you make contact with the ball
there is an entirely second half of the swing that needs to be tended to. The most common
mistake in golf is swinging over the top, if you work on releasing the club and allowing the
toe to travel to a full release you will go a long ways towards curing this ailment. Be reminded, I'm not saying "release the toe" I'm saying "let the toe release". Don't be fooled into thinking you can create the releasing of the club, the only thing you can create is proper
rhythm and tempo, if you do that the club will create the proper release for you. It's engineered that way. If you "hit" at the ball you will achieve nothing. Remember, it's a swing,
not a hit.
See you out on the course!
Rob
