September 2009

Ventana Canyon Golf & Racquet Club6200 N. Clubhouse LaneTucson, Arizona 85750

Continuing member support for the club’s food and beverage operation has allowed us to maintain the annual minimum obligation at its current level for an unprecedented three years in a row. Th e Alliance Board of Managers has accepted a man-agement recommendation to hold the annual minimum at $900 for the 2009-10 club year.

Th is was made possible by continually increasing levels of voluntary spending by mem-bers for food and beverages. For instance, the revenue in that department in the January-July period increased more than $300,000 since 2005. Results for 2009 were comparable to last year.

We are pleased to be able to hold the line on this member obligation, which allows us to maintain our posi-tion as the club with the lowest food and beverage minimum among our competitive set in the Tucson area.

I am very pleased that it refl ects an encouragingly high degree of volun-tary member support for our food and beverage service, which is es-sential to its fi scal health, in the face of a reduced membership size related to currently challenging economic conditions.

Another area where we have some good news to report is the sales of Ventana-branded merchandise through the Golf Shop. Despite the nation’s economic travails, we have re-corded higher sales compared to last year for the past two months. It is still too early to declare this a fi rm trend, but it is encouraging to say the least. Margie Vaughan discusses details of our merchandising program in her article on page 13.

With fall approaching, can over-

seeding be far behind? Th e answer is, no, of course, and overseeding with winter rye will begin with closure of the Canyon course on September 21. You will recall that as the overseeded

courses reopen golf cart traffi c will be restricted to the cart paths until the winter grass has matured adequately to tolerate carts on the courses themselves. Wally Dowe discusses dates and other details of the overseed-ing program in his article on page 10.

Th ose of you who have visited the club in the past month may have noticed work progressing on our premier tennis courts, 6, 7, 8 and 9, which have had their surfaces re-newed aft er fi ve years. I am sure this is good news for our tennis members for whom the court surfaces are an important issue. It also marks the be-ginning of a planned surface rehabili-tation program designed to maintain top quality surfaces into the future.

Finally, we have word that the club will have an entirely new fl eet of Club Car golf carts in place this fall in time for the high season. Bob O’Brian tells me the new fl eet could arrive as early as late September or early October. Th is is just one of the initiatives we have in place designed to make your premier club experience the best it can be.

CLUB NEWS

I am hoping that everyone is en-joying their summer and staying cool in the process. Season will be here before we know it and the club will be buzzing with activity again soon. Our wine program has actually been active all summer long in fact. In August, we rolled out a new list of Wines by the Glass with some exciting addi-tions. Rombauer Chardonnay and Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel are just a couple of the additions on the list. Another one of my favorites that made it onto the list is the Segehesio Zinfandel, which scored well over 90 points in the Wine Spectator Magazine. Th e new glass list also includes tast-ing notes for each wine to help guide you with selecting a wine that fi ts your taste.

Our main Wine List was also ex-panded this summer, since June, I have added over 20 new wines. I am very excited about the additions, which now includes Bethel Heights Pi-not Noir from Oregon and Rombauer ‘Diamond Selection’ Cabernet Sauvi-gnon from California. We also added a case of Twomey Sauvignon Blanc, one of three cases in the entire state of Arizona, only adding to Ventana’s reputation as exclusive. Some of the other wines are very boutique in style and are some real gems at great prices.

Next time you are at the club and look at a wine list, I would be happy to an-swer any questions you may have and perhaps guide you to try a new wine

that you have not tried before, I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

As for our social events we have been very active plan-ning those as well. On September 17, we will be hosting

our second edition of the ‘Women Who Wine’ golf and social event, and will also be adding a ‘Bros and Beer’,for the gentlemen not wanting to be left out. Th e ladies will play the front nine with a wine tasting every third hole. Th e gentlemen will play the back nine with beer tasting every third hole too. Th ese two events will end simul-taneously and everyone is welcome to come back to the clubhouse for a re-ception and cocktail party, with a cash bar. Th e cost for each of these events is $35 per person, which includes golf, wine or beer tasting and the reception. Th e fi rst event was a blast and every-one had a great time, so sign up and be sure not to miss out on the fun!!

Finally, I have worked hard on our wine dinner calendar bringing in

some high-end wineries for this up-coming season. On October 20, we will be hosting the Rombauer wine dinner. Rombauer is a big favorite among the membership here and the dinner is going to be quite spectacular, featuring Chef John’s creative cuisine. On January 26, 2010, I am very excited to announce that we will partner with the Silver Oak winery to host a wine dinner. Th is is going to be a night to remember, as I am going to be pulling out all the stops to put on the best wine dinner we have ever had at Ventana Canyon. You can RSVP to all of our social events with Isabella in Catering at 577-4000. I will give more details on the Silver Oak Wine Dinner as the event nears but be sure not to miss this one as it will be the event for the ages…

When Kelly Scott was a teen-ager, she oft en swam in the club pool with friends whose families were members. Now she sits at the fi rst desk inside the door to the accounting offi ce as the new lead accoun-tant for the club.

Kelly replaced Tracey Fossatti in that posi-tion on July 17 aft er Tracey left Ventana to live and work in Canada.

Th e route from the pool to the accounting offi ce was less than direct, but Kelly is happy to have made the journey. As a native Tuc-sonan who grew up in the North-east suburbs, Kelly was well aware of Ventana and says it had a reputa-tion as “a good place to work.”

As with many of our new em-ployees, Kelly learned of the Ven-tana position opportunity on line and thought the job description was “perfect for me.”

Prior to coming here, Kelly had a number of accounting positions around town and when her most recent employers closed due to the

recession she wound up back at her Alma Mater, the University of Ari-zona, in a non-fi nancial position.

In her new position, Kelly is responsible for member billing, so she is the person you will be contacting concerning monthly statement. She has completed her fi rst billing cycle, so she is aware of the types of is-sues that occur in mem-ber statements and how

they are resolved.She thinks she has a handle on

the scope of her new responsibili-ties and looks forward to the chal-lenges she faces. “I like to be busy,” she says, adding the hopes “to be here for a long time.”

Kelly comes from a family of golf-ers and has been golfi ng since her childhood, but has never played the Ventana courses. As busy as she is, she doubts she will have time to play them anytime soon, but expects that someday she will. “I know they are beautiful courses,” she said.

Our Sympathies to both families and friends of these wonderful members of Ventana Canyon.

They will be missed by all.

Our events this summer were well attended and everyone seems to be enjoying each and every gathering. In September, we will be making some subtle changes to menus and implementing some sea-sonal fl avors as we begin to enter the late summer and fall season. When the heat snaps we will transition the menus quickly to compli-ment the much anticipated cooler weather and the preparation of autumn fare.

Our dining areas continue to be very busy. Th e daily specials are popular favorites and have been keeping everyone coming back for more. We have received both wel-come compliments and construc-tive feedback.

As most everyone knows, I con-sider this communication between the membership and the culinary team to be the most important

ingredient in the kitchen. It helps us to achieve a balance in season-ing that gives each dish that special

touch. As always, I thank you

for your continued sup-port and patronage. We want you to continue to regard the club as your home away from home, which means that your dining experience here needs to give you a sense

of value as well as an enjoyable experience.

Most importantly, let us know if you have a special request. We will always do our best to fulfi ll any special needs you may have. Again, thanks for dining with us. We look forward to serving you again soon.

ACBL Bridge Games at VentanaContinue to be a HUGE SuccessOur game on Monday nights continued through-

out the summer months when many of our regulars had gone to cooler climates. Th is week we have 7 full tables – our limit is 11 so when our winter guests get back, you’ll need to make reservations early to assure your seat. Len Hall has been our director since the beginning and does a fabulous job or making our time relaxed and organized.

If you would like to play duplicate on other days, please see Adobe’s website at: http://www.adobebridgeclub.org. Th ey have games every day of the week for all skill levels and there are links to several other bridge clubs in the area.

Bridge Classes at VentanaAs of September 11, we will have Supervised Bid and Play Class-

es on Friday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 – students need to arrive a little early so our staff can take your lunch orders and serve us promptly at 11:30 a.m. Th en several of us run off to Adobe to play in the 12:30 p.m. game there. Some people say we are “Addicted”. HA!!

Our new instructor is Wagner “Van” VanVlack who many of you know. He was principal at Catalina Foothills High School when many of your children and grandchildren were in high school. Van retired two years ago. Since that time, he has re-acquainted himself with bridge, a game he fi rst learned in high school but had not played in nearly 40 years. Van has accrued over 1000 master-points and has achieved the rank of “Silver Life Master.” During 2008, Van fi nished 2nd in the American Contract Bridge League “Ace of Clubs” race in the Tucson metropolitan area. Th is year, he is currently in fi rst place. Van has a genuine passion for the game and he wishes to share his learning and insights with others.

Van is not only a superb bridge player, but he has a gift for being able to see the skill level of his students and see the areas he needs to cover to help us improve our games. He has already taught a few classes up here and we are amazed with the results.

Reservations are required for this class so we can be sure Cater-ing has the room prepared and enough staff to serve us. Please call me at 615-3231 or e-mail me at: rhoukom@comcast.net if you want to discuss our classes, bridge, or make a reservation. I keep in close contact with the students, so please let me know if you want to be added to my e-mail list too.

Don’t Forget Grandparents’ Day on September 13

The old phrase that it never rains in the desert is certainly holding true this summer. Reviewing rainfall re-cords clearly shows the annual mon-soon is well below last year. July 2008 we received 4.86” compared to July 2009 total of 1.25”. August 2008 we received 4.87” and as of August 18, 2009 total was .48” for this August.

Dan Ahee (Assistant Superinten-dent – Mountain course) will be leav-ing us to pursue bigger and better op-portunities. We would like to thank him for the last three years of count-less hours and dedication. We wish Dan the best in his future successes. With the departure of Dan we have promoted Charlie Aubry to the posi-

tion of Assistant Superintendent on the Mountain course. Charlie gradu-ated from Michigan State University.

He also completed two summer in-ternships with us in the past.

Th e Bermuda-grass on the golf courses continues to improve and that means over-seeding is right

around the corner. Canyon course will close on Monday, September 21 and will re-open on Monday, Octo-ber 12. Th e Mountain course will close on Monday, October 12 and will

reopen on Saturday, November 1. All 36 holes will be open on Saturday, November 1. Please remember that the golf courses will be cartpath only until late November. Th is will allow the new Ryegrass time to mature and be able to handle future golf cart traf-fi c.

Please remember to fi ll your divots, repair your ballmarks, avoid high traf-fi c areas with your golf carts and pick up your broken tees. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 577-4013 or ventanacanyon1@ventanacanyon1@qwestoffi ce.net.qwestoffi ce.net.

AS THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER WEAR ON, the last of the rye grass is long gone. As with every transition from winter to summer grass, this leaves some bare spots in fairways and green surrounds. I have been asked a number of times how to handle the situation when you must play your golf ball from one of these “tight lies”. A few simple steps can help to make this challenging shot easier to handle:

Relax – a good rule to follow for 1. any shot, but particularly the dif-fi cult ones. Making solid con-tact with little or no grass under your ball requires precision and a free release of the club, which is only possible with relaxed muscles.

Ball Position – to ensure striking 2. the ball before the ground, move the ball back in your stance an inch or two, with the image of striking the ball on the down-ward part of the swing arc.Follow Through – make sure 3. to swing to a full fi nish. Any deceleration of the club or torso will lead to fat or thin shots, thus ruining distance control.

Try these tips the next time you fi nd your ball on a bare spot. If you need more help, please contact one of the instruction staff. We look forward to seeing you on the golf course.

Golf Carts are seen virtually everywhere at Ventana. Aside from the golf courses, which are fi lled with carts much of the day during the season, carts are seen on the roads and sidewalks. Some are used to take children to school bus stops and home in the aft ernoon.

Members who live off site use li-censed carts as transportation to and from the club. From time to time the club issues warning about under-age drivers, but it seems these advisories are oft en ignored. Aft er all, how can

anyone get hurt on a golf cart?A recent study demonstrates that

the harmless image attached to golf carts is a fallacy. Th e study, done by Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, identifi ed many serious injuries and even deaths from golf cart inju-ries. Th e hospital was able to identify nearly 150,000 golf-cart-related inju-ries in the period from 1990 to 2006.

Th e rate of injuries in that period had more than doubled—from 5,700 a year in 1990 to nearly 13,500 in 2006.

Th is, of course, did not include the many thousands of unreported minor injuries that did not require hospital treatment, but exacted a toll of pain and discomfort on the injured parties.

"Given the large increase in golf cart–related injuries over the study period, greater eff orts are needed to prevent these injuries, especially among children," said researcher Lara

McKenzie of the Ohio hospital. She and her fellow researchers suggest children under the age of 16 not be permitted to drive golf carts and chil-dren six years or younger should not be permitted in golf carts at all.

Ventana requires those operat-ing golf carts to be at least 16 years old and hold valid driver’s licenses. Children under fi ve are not permitted to ride in golf carts at the club, but the club’s restrictions are impossible to enforce outside of club property.

Th e message of this research is reasonably simple: Golf carts can be dangerous and should not be oper-ated by under-age drivers or ridden in by young children. If everyone complies—on and off site—with the club’s current rules the potential for serious injury or death is dramatically reduced.

Golf-Cart Injuries Are Up Dramatically NationwideGOLF

As a new monthly installment in the Ventana Vistas, “From the Golf Shop” we’ll highlight what is com-ing and going through the golf shop. Many of our frequent shoppers are looking for a heads up on what is new while others are seeking the next big sale; this is where you are going to fi nd it.

Over the summer months the staff has been working tirelessly to fi nd the newest styles and looks that are going to keep your wardrobe looking fresh and golf functional. While the new fall lines will not be delivered until October, there are plenty of great items available. With the tem-peratures still above 90, performance fabrics are still the way to keep you cool. We have new arrivals of men’s

Adidas, Nicklaus, and Ping, and for women Greg Norman and Nike.

If your closet looks fi ne, but your equipment is in need of sprucing up, many manufacturers are rolling out new products. Ping is introducing a new G15 and I15 line of woods, hy-brids, and irons. Callaway is off ering a free FT-iQ driver with the purchase of a set of FT I-Brid or FT irons, both of which can be custom fi t for you by our professional staff through our Opti-Fit system.

Lastly, if you have been looking to accent your home or offi ce with pictures of our beautiful courses, we have new framed art from photogra-pher Gary Kellner and Dimpled Rock studios.

As always, please come by the golf

shop for any of your merchandising or gift needs. We have access to some of the best brands in world and can off er you the most competitive pric-ing. Special orders are always wel-come. Enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to seeing all of you in the golf shop this fall.

Q. When you decide NOT to play in a W.G.A. Th ursday event, what factors impact your decision?A. Pace of play is a factor.

Comments from the survey regarding pace of play are:“Pace of play can be a big issue; some women just don’t • get it”“Marshals should make the women MOVE on regular • league play days”“We need to get all players, no matter the handicap, to • play four hour rounds”“Low handicap does not always equate with fast play-• ing. “Th e W.G.A. board is working on increasing the pace of • play.

Be on time to the fi rst tee• Play ready golf, but always be aware of your playing • partners’ safetyKeep conversations to small talk, storytelling should • be done when waiting

BE READY WHEN IT’S YOUR TURN Know your distance, have your clubs selected and be • at your ballIf in doubt, take more than one club• Minimize practice swings• Hit a provisional if uncertain of the location of your • fi rst ballTake seed canister with you•

CART MANAGEMENTPark between you and your cart partner’s ball and • walk to your ballLast one to hit carries clubs to the next • shotWrite in your score at the next tee • Have passenger keep score•

AROUND THE GREENTake several clubs and a putter, always take a sand • wedge

Read your putt while others are • puttingPutting out (continuing to putt) • speeds playIf out of the hole, pick up and take • your most likely scorePut clubs away at the next tee • when taking out your driver

PARTNERSPartners in the group can gently suggest ways to speed • playEncourage your foursome to keep up with the group • aheadIf your partner is out of the hole, have her pick up and • take her most likely score

Please remember that the Player’s Assistants (marshals) are here to maintain a proper pace. Please listen to them and understand that if they decide your foursomes’ pace is slow they may move you forward or backward at any time. Th e marshals know what is happening throughout the entire fi eld and we need to listen to them.

Th e USGA rules of golf address “undue delay” or “slow play” by saying: “the player must play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play guidelines that the Committee may establish.”

Ventana Canyon Women’s Golf Association has one “Standing Rule” regarding slow play: “USGA states, and we strongly recommend, that players adhere to a pace of thirteen minutes per hole. In a shotgun event, players coming in one half-hour aft er the fi eld will be assessed a two-stroke penalty. Slow players will be given a maximum of two warnings before being issued a two-stroke penalty.” We do not want to enforce this rule unless players are consistently slow.

Your Board hopes that by using the tips provided we will all enjoy our rounds by practicing good golf etiquette so others do not have to wait. We all want to enjoy our game. As one member put it in her survey comment: “While pace of play is important, there is a fi ne line between pushing the pace and enjoying the round and day. I see a lot of women rush to ‘be fast’ and their game suff ers and ultimately, they take more shots. Pace of play is not about playing fast. It is about doing things effi ciently so that there is more time for quality shot making.”

It has been three years since Peter Burwash International started man-agement of the Ventana Canyon Rac-quet Club and we would like to say thank you and express our apprecia-tion to our wonderful members. To do this, for the month of September, we would like to off er every tennis member and golf member a free 30 minute private lesson!

Th is lesson can be booked with the PBI professional of your choice. Th ese lessons will give the profession-als a great opportunity to reconnect with many of our members and give the members an opportunity to let us know what your goals may be to improve your game. Th is will be an exciting time to get out your tennis racquet and get back in the swing of things on the court!

By now, hopefully everyone has noticed that the Premier tennis courts (courts 6, 7, 8, & 9) have been resur-

faced. Th e repair to the courts, called an overlay, is considered routine maintenance for a tennis court. Th e trouble ar-eas on the court were patched and a new coat of paint was put on all the courts. So if you haven’t had the oppor-tunity to play on these courts, they are playing better than ever! Call the tennis pro shop to make a reservation to play on the Premier courts!

With the start of Fall, we are very excited about new programs for all levels, both junior and adults. One of the new classes we will be featuring is “Video Tape Analysis.” Th is class will have a PBI professional using a video camera to record the particular stroke and then, using a computer to replay

the stroke in slow motion. Th e ben-efi t of video tape analysis is to allow the student to “see” any problems with technique or mechanics. By using the fundamentals of tennis as a platform, the PBI professional can walk you through your stroke start to fi nish and allow you to see areas of needed improvement. Check the calendar for when this exciting opportunity is available.

Again, we are excited about the Fall programs, the new court surface, and the opportunity for the month of Sep-tember to say “Th ank You!” Call the tennis pro shop to book your compli-mentary half hour tennis lesson!

See you on the courts!

When you know your opponent doesn't have a second serve to hurt you, you have a couple of options. 1. Move forward and through the shot hitting a chip or fl at shot soft and to the outside of the court. Th is will pull your opponent off the court creating a hole in the center and you

standing at the net for your next shot. Partner watch the ally down the line. 2. Move forward and as the server tosses the ball move over into the doubles ally (right handed player) to create a forehand only opportu-nity. Th is would be a great time to go down the line, but make sure you do

so with some authority. 3. Move forward and set up like the two option but this time push a lob over the head of the net person. If you do it right the net person will be looking for the power and get caught leaning the wrong way.

After School Jr. Golf Program

With summer nearly over, things have quieted down at the pool. Th e children have gone back to school, summer swim team is fi nished for an-other season, as are the golf and tennis camps that spent part of each day at the pool. However, the weather is still warm enough to enjoy a meal at the pool, so come join us pool side.

Winter swim team begins the aft ernoon of August 24. High school swimmers practice from 3:30-5:30 p.m., age 9 years old through 8th grade swim at 5:00 p.m., and 8 and under swim MTWF from 4:30-5:00 p.m. We accept all levels of swimmers; the only qualifi cation to be on the team is to be able to make it across the pool one time without fear. We will teach all of the strokes and skills needed to be a competitive swimmer.

Th e master's team would love to have more swimmers. Practice is from 9:00-10:00 a.m. weekday mornings. As with the age group team, we teach the skills needed to be a swimmer. Some of our team members compete at meets, but a lot of them just swim for the comradery and fi tness the team off ers.

Finally, our summer swimmers did a great job this summer. Most of our swimmers achieved lifetime

bests at championships. Two of our younger swimmers qualifi ed for the state championship meet in Phoenix. Jack Hadley and Samantha Andrade endured days of 117 degree weather to participate in the meet at ASU. Both swam their lifetime bests, despite the heat. Jack qualifi ed to go back for fi nals each day and ended up 6th in the state in the 50 breaststroke. Swim-mers from all over the state heard the announcer say Jack's name each night at fi nals, as he did Ventana proud!

Health Tip: Two Common Foot Problems Discussed

SCHEDULE FOR SEPTEMBER 2009SCHEDULE FOR SEPTEMBER 2009

FITNESS

1. BUNIONS Bunions develop when the metatarsal

joint and the phalanx bones of the big toe angle out, creating an outward bulge at the base of the big toe. Th e bursa surround-ing the joint may become infl amed and enlarged as well. A misshapen appearance at the end of the metatarsal bone may occur.

CAUSES? Could be a natural tendency, because the big toe's metatarsal bone is splayed out to begin with. Being over-weight or just wear and tear can aggravate the condition further. Lack of an arch or over pronation of the feet (walking on the inside of your foot) put more weight on the big toe. Jamming your feet into nar-row shoes can put backward pressure on the big toe and it can buckle out, forming a bunion.

TREATMENT? Initially treatment centers around easing the pressure and discomfort of the bunion. Lining the inside of shoes with moleskin or bunion pads can reduce the friction. Wear-ing shoes with a wider toe box can help. Surgery is considered with the increase of pain. Bunion surgeries vary but oft en include the removal of the overgrowth of the metatarsal head and some other areas of the bone so the metatarsal-phalangeal joint can be realigned.

2. PLANTAR FASCIITIS Th e plantar fascia is the tough band

of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It attaches to the heel bone on one end and then splits into fi ve sections, each extending to a toe at the other end. It allows the big toe's metatarsal bone to support your body weight and supports your arch as well. Fasciitis is an infl am-mation of the tissue, the pain can be felt on the heel and oft en the bottom of the foot. Classically the pain is worse in the a.m. and can improve as the tendons and ligaments loosen, but can worsen again as the day wears on.

CAUSES? If you stand or walk for long periods, especially in non-supportive shoes (i.e. fl ip-fl ops) or overpronate (when the feet roll inward) can be contributing factors to plantar fasciitis.

TREATMENT? Treating the pain in-volves treating the infl ammation. You can quiet the infl ammation with rest, ice, el-evation and non-steroidal anti-infl amma-tory drugs (i.e. ibuprofen and naproxin). Stretching exercises are oft en benefi cial. Over the counter products such as heel pads and orthotic inserts can also help. Exchanging your old athletic shoes for a good supportive new pair can really make a diff erence. Shock wave therapy for more serious cases has shown promise. Surgery can be performed to release the fascia.

Products for Ailments of the feet! Yeah or Nay? ( Dr. James P. Ioli of Har-

vard Health Letter)

Callus and corn cushions Yeah! Th e donut shape keeps pressure off the calluses (usually on the bottom of the feet) and corns (usually on the top of the feet). Change them oft en as the skin beneath can break down. New shoes that fi t better will oft en reduce the skin irrita-tion that causes the calluses and the corns in the fi rst place!Callus and Corn removers

Nay! Stay clear of these products, the active ingredient salicylic acid can harm healthy skin around the corn or callus.Moleskin Yeah! Cotton fl annel with an adhesive backing, not actual moleskin, but good for reducing friction. If you are using a lot of moleskin again you might consider switching to a more fl exible better-fi tting shoe!Foot powders Yeah! Better than sprays, they can help with sweaty, smelly feet. Some brands have menthol (creating a pleasant sensa-tion and smell) some are anti fungal.Foot files

Yeah! But use with care, the old fash-ioned pumice stone is a less aggressive way of removing dead skin from the heels and balls of the foot.Orthotic's

Yeah! But beware, so many to choose from. Worth a try before going the expensive prescription route. If you over pronate or have arch problems, buy the orthotic's with arch support.
