BY DANELLE WACKERGRANITE BAY VIEW
If youre thinking about hit-ting the fairway, here are some
tips on how to get started.
GOLF WILL TRY YOUR
PATIENCE, DONT SET
YOUR EXPECTATIONS
TOO HIGH
Learning different swingsand aim is not an easy skill andis not something that comesnaturally. It takes practice.Sometimes the grip or theposition of the club can beuncomfortable and the naturalinstinct is to change to some-thing more comfortable. How-ever, by being patient, thingswill start to feel more natural,resulting in a better swing andgolf experience. Instant resultsare not possible in golf.Patience is crucial.
HAVE THE RIGHT CLUBS
Having clubs that are thecorrect height is crucial to golf.For your driver club, the loft orangle of the club face that con-trols trajectory and affects dis-tance, should be 10 degrees orhigher.
A prospective golfer shouldalso carry a variety of woods,irons, wedges and putters.Each of these serves an indi-vidual purpose and has a dif-ferent loft degree.
Despite the common mis-
conception, woods are nolonger made of wood, but ofmaterials like zinc, aluminumand titanium. Common choic-es for beginners are aluminumor titanium alloys. For irons, itis suggested that they are madeof zinc.
HAVE PROPER GRIP
A golf grip should be withthe fingers of both hands and
not the palms. The most pres-sure should be felt in the lastthree fingers of your left hand.However, squeezing too hardon the club also negativelyaffects your swing, so be sureto have a loose but firm grip.
There are several differentgrips such as the 10-finger grip,or baseball grip, the interlock-ing grip and the Vardon overlap
grip. It is important to change
your grip every so often asgrips tend to wear off over timeleaving the club smooth andslick.
For the 10-finger grip, theindex finger of the left handand the little finger of the righthand do not overlap but domake contact with each other.This is usually the default gripfor most beginners or golfers
with weaker arm and wriststrength.
BE IN LINE WITH YOUR
TARGET
A good way to make sureyou are in line with your targetwhen first learning is to make astraight line with a piece ofstring running from the hole toyour ball. Place your putter in aposition so that it is almost
touching the ball, but notquite.
Make sure your lead foot isperpendicular to the target lineyou have created. Your eyes willoften create optical illusionsand make you think you are inline when really you are off.This exercise will help you trainyourself to be on target.
HAVE GOOD POSTURE
According to Granite BayGolf Clubs PGA Jim Stewart,you should lean forward at thehips and have a slight kneebend and let your arms hangstraight down when holdingthe club.
Make sure you weight is dis-tributed evenly on the balls ofyour feet and slightly flex yourknees.
Have your arms hang
straight down. This will placethe butt-end of the handleabout a fist away from the bodyallowing you to easily andfreely swing your arms backand through.
FOLLOW THROUGH
Just as in soccer and basket-ball, following through withyour swing is vital for golf. Its
important to follow through tohave good distance and to get
the ball up in the air. Just goingout to hit balls wont make youbetter.
You first must have a repeat-able swing (being able to hitthe ball on the middle of theclubface). After your club hasimpact with the ball, keep yourhead behind the ball to ensurea full release.
Your head should naturallycome up with your right shoul-
der, and should ultimately faceyour target to complete the fol-low through.

Kids are drawn to bright colors and
this orange shirt is fun and vivid and
will look great on and off the course.
Coupled with the cargo short, this is a
look that many boys will like.
The white and black skirt is very versatile its easy to tie in
bright colors like orange, pink, yellow or green andchange the look.
The bright pink is fun and works well with a lot
of different skin tones.The shirt has a very
flattering cut, not too clingy and not too boxy.
While the houndstooth golf shoes
are cute, sporty and different, theyreally pop.
Every little boy wants to be just
like dad. Heres a few styles for
both age groups that are sure
to be hits on the course.
This is a classic look that goes from the course
to the clubhouse.The seersucker adds a bit of
East Coast easy style. Its very sophisticated
and never goes out of fashion.

The recently concludedLakeside Little League run tothe brink of the Little LeagueWorld Series turned the sum-mer upside down for the fami-lies of 12 young ballplayers.With practices that began onJune 15, and a return to town just in time to start the new
school year, the team essen-tially spent its summer on thediamond.
I think that is great, saidLakeside manager Bill Rocke-feller. I dont think these kidswould have enjoyed anythingbut that.
In looking back at the experi-ences, Rockefeller struggled topin down any one moment ashis highlight of the summer, as
his team compiled 20 wins in
22 starts against high-levelcompetition.
I think one of the biggesthighlights was Grant (Powers)stealing home to tie up thechampionship game, Rocke-feller said. He is such a talent-
ed and instinctive player.
In terms of rating the opposi-tion, Rockefeller is convincedthat surviving the initial localtournaments was as tough asanything his team saw.
Beating Woodcreek twice(in district play) was huge for
us, Rockefeller said. They
have been the rival for a longtime and that team was rightup there with San Ramon. Wealso were nervous early againstTri-City (in the section final)
and the Dylan Keeney grandslam in that game was verymemorable.
Lakeside has been to theNorCal finals twice in 2003and this season and on bothoccasions, the kids from Gran-ite Bay and Loomis havereached the regional event inSan Bernardino. One of themajor differences for this Lake-side team may well have been
its ability to call on the experi-ences of the 2003 team inbeing better prepared for theWestern Region tourney.
We got to San Bernardino,out of the cars and into thebarracks, Rockefeller said.Then we walked out to thefield and their eyes were as bigas silver dollars.
The all-stars did not seem toget caught up in the awe of the
big moment as they ran off five
straight wins, the fifth in dra-matic fashion, to reach the Western Region final. Thepitching of Mitch Hart, NickFrank and Zach Hall was
amazing, and Halls game-win-ning long balls in the NorthernCalifornia final and again inthe Western Region semifinalsare among Rockefellers bestmemories.
The final, against the teamfrom Southern California, wasan overwhelming experienceas the Northern Californiachamps hung with the mightyChula Vista juggernaut in front
of a capacity crowd at AlHoughton Stadium. The con-test was tied 3-3 into the fifthbefore Park View Little Leaguepulled away.
While the run ended Aug. 16in Southern California, thememories will live on for theLakeside all-stars, who havemade the rounds of the Sacra-mento-area morning TVshows, squeezing media events
in between junior high classes.
A special summer for Lakeside all-stars

On any given Friday after-noon, the Granite Bay GolfClub is jumping with activity.
Once the workday is over,and Indian summer, coolbreezes set in, the club is hometo happy members enjoying alltheir local club has to offer.
Children perfecting putts onthe practice green; familiesenjoying pasta specials in theMackenzie Grill, couples rais-ing glasses in toasts, withrefreshing Chardonnay inhand, are common sights atthe members-only, 18-holegolf club.
While Friday seems to be afavorite day for members, anyday is perfect for the casual, yet
elegant, traditional, old-golfclub atmosphere the staff soconscientiously provides to its475 golf and 200 social mem-bers.
As many long-time GraniteBay residents can attest, thearea wasnt always the lushswath of shimmering greenthat is in evidence today. Priorto the back nine holes opening15 years ago, the front nine a
few months after that, the 180-acre area was beautiful, butwild.
People tell me, all the time,that people used to ski in thelittle lake out here, saidMichael Lee, the clubs mem-bership director.
Four wheeling and fishing
too, Trish Sandbach, the clubsmembership relation directoradded.
There are still plenty of wildareas on the Robert T. Jonesand Kyle Phillips designedcourse, including a large lakethat provides a habitat forCanadian geese, red-wingedblackbirds, and a variety offurred and feathered friends,earning the clubs designation
as an Audubon International
Signature Sanctuary.There are fewer than 75
courses in the world that arelisted as Audubon Signaturecourses, Lee explained.
Sandbach agrees that thecourse architects did a phe-nomenal job, changing very lit-tle on the challenging 73.6 rat-ed, 142-slope course.
Foliage-filled gulches and sixbridges, crossing Linda Creek
and its tributaries, allow golfand nature enthusiasts to feelsurrounded by nature sounds, smells, and sights, allsoothing to the senses.
Were not a master-plannedcommunity, like Serrano orWinchester, which makes it areally walkable course, Leesaid. You will only see a cou-ple holes at a time, and youllnever hit a house.
Sandbach said she has fallenin love with the course over the10 plus years shes worked atthe club.
The natural terrain, all theoak trees and granite outcrop-pings its golf as it should be,which means golf in its naturalstate, she said.
Of course, golf isnt the onlyactivity at the club.
Terrace at the Tips, therecently-christened outdoordining area is a popular placeto enjoy a meal and great viewat the same time. Located at
the tips of holes number oneand 10, diners have a ring-sideseat for great driving action,and a peek at the 18th green as
well. And Tillys, an over 21 pub,
offers snacks and beverages, as well as the full restaurantmenu. Its an ideal place forgolfers to grab a cool beverageon a toasty afternoon.
The club began with 125founding members, and waspurchased by Clubcorp in 1999

for a price of $26 million.In spite of a shaky economy,
the club is still able to attractnew members, and offers aSignature Golf program, whichallows members to enjoy com-plimentary golf and dining atother clubs affiliated withClubcorp.
I enrolled a new membertoday, and am meeting aprospective member this after-noon, Lee said recently.
He said hes thrilled to have
16 new golf members and 24new social members this year.
The addition of new mem-bers helps support ongoingcapital improvements.
Were renovating thebunkers every bunker on theentire course, plus we just builtthe new, outdoor terrace, Leesaid.
In addition, Tillys Pub wasrecently updated, and the
exercise room will be receivinga face lift as well.
When we look to spendhundreds of thousands of dol-lars a year on improvements,well, other clubs just arent see-ing that, Lee said.
Unlike some golf clubs, fam-ily experiences are what Leeand Sandbach know their cluboffers.
Our membership is getting
younger, with our averagemember being 45, Lee said.Were enrolling members whohave been in the communityfor six or eight years. They havefamilies now and more time tointroduce their kids to theclub.
The club supports the kidconnection by offering events
like youngsters movie night,and the popular LittleLinksters program a funeducation, which includeschipping, putting and eti-
quette, for children 3 to 6 yearsold.
In addition, the club part-ners with Eureka Union SchoolDistrict for events like a golftournament in May, and this years annual auction night, which will take place at theclub in November.
EUSD is a big supporter ofthe club, and visa versa, Leesaid.
But charity events arent theonly parties going on at theclub.
Weekends are filled with weddings, and the banquetfacilities are open to non-members and members alike.
People think, oh my goshGranite Bay Golf Club must beso expensive, Im not evengoing to call them. But theyreso surprised at how affordable
it is, said Heidi Robinson, theclubs private event director.Weddings here are so memo-rable. At one wedding, thegroom surprised his bride witha fireworks display over thelake during the first dance.Every guest had tears it wasso romantic, so special, shesaid.
The club also offers one-of-a-kind events, like a White
House Chefs dinner pre-pared by, and followed by dis-cussion with the White Housechef, who served under Presi-dent George Bush.
Of course, golf is the thing,and whether youre an ama-teur or ready for the PGA,Granite Bay Golf Club hasmuch to offer its members.

Summer is a time for swim-ming pools, for carefree after-noons, kids camps and sleep-
overs. Its not generally a sea-son for homework, lessons andwhiteboards.
But theres no reason thesetwo seemingly opposite forcescannot be woven together, saysGranite Bay resident LoriNielsen. And the best part of itall you can get a head start onthis falls academics withoutthe whiteboard.
With Nielsens affiliate online
tutoring company, she said,students can through the con-venience of wherever theres acomputer, get a great one-on-one math tutoring session.
TCY Online is an India-basedonline tutoring company thatlaunched overseas in 1998. InMarch of 2008, it expanded tothe United States, developing apresence in 20 states with morethan 300,000 student clients.
Nielsen is a regional director,helping to incorporate TCYinto the Granite Bay, Roseville,Orangevale, Citrus Heights andRocklin communities. Shes the
go-to person for this territory,she said, which includes 123 K-12 schools.
The company has 250employees around the world,with a core group of tutors inIndia available all hours of theday, everyday. The tutors are allexperienced and, says Nielsen,friendly, patient, kind andstate-accredited.
Although students may nev-
er actually meet their tutor inperson, TCY provides everyother means to develop a rap-port between mentor and pro-tg. This includes audio con-versations, instant help, virtual whiteboards and individual-ized attention according toNielsen.
Students enrolled in the pro-gram go through a preliminaryplacement and go through four
steps of additional confirma-tion testing before advancingto the next level. There are
monthly and weekly plans, or astudent can simply scan ahomework worksheet and get
specific help with that. Addi-tionally, there are specific les-sons for standardized testing.The Web site www.Tcyon-line.com also has free prac-
tice exams, free printableworksheets and state-specificexams.
And it is this kind of conven-ience, Nielsen believes, thatmakes TCY a unique company.It caters to every individualneed of every individual stu-dent all without any driving.
If I would have knownabout this, my son would havebeen on it, she said of her son
who graduated from GraniteBay High School in June.
Nielsen, who was in themortgage business for morethan 20 years, recently becamea territory manager of TCY andhopes to integrate it into thecommunity.
My goal is that the localschools would offer this in the

BY JEFFREY WEIDEL
SPECIAL TO THE GRANITE BAY VIEW
Are you looking for a highoctane vacation spot whereactivities abound and the day
can be filled from start to fin-ish?
Or are you the type of person who seeks serenity on theirvacation getaway, treasuring aleisurely day of sleeping late,reading an intriguing book ona secluded deck, heading near-by for a lavish dinner, and con-cluding the evening with asoothing spa by a nearby firepit?
If both these opposite endsof the vacation spectrumsound appealing, consider avisit to Northstar-At-Tahoe, where you can enjoy eitherone.
Besides being a staycationthat only requires a two-hourdrive or less for Granite Bayresidents, a visit to Northstarcomes with an abundance ofactivities and lodging packages
that can start as low as $75 anight for a room or climb to theopulent $1,000 per night range.
Northstar, which is locatedoff Highway 267 near down-town Truckee, has put the fin-ishing touches on its $55 mil-lion European-inspired ski vil-lage, turning this winter skiresort in to a summer destina-tion spot as well. But the sum-mer months proceed at a
much slower pace at this NorthTahoe location, where venera-ble Lake Tahoes waters are notfar away, a mere seven-miledrive is all it takes.
Yet part of the charm at theNorthstar village is simplyparking the car and neverusing it again until departureday. Its the perfect setting foran active family or can serve asa romantic retreat.
The village is virtually an on-site mini-mall that includes 35unique shops and restaurants,a conference center, and thecenter-piece skating rink,which is used as a roller rink insummer months.
A scenic lift ride and hike issomething a family can enjoyfor $5 apiece. For golfers, OldGreenwood is a must play, rest-
ing amidst towering pines andsurrounded by beautifulmountain vistas. A 15-minutedrive from Northstar, the JackNicklaus-designed course ispricy at $185, but after 1 p.m.
the cost dips to $100. The near-by Northstar course is morereasonable at $60 for a similartwilight rate.
One never has to leave thevillage to enjoy a day of moun-
tain biking on the many chal-lenging Northstar trails. Otheractivities include a rope chal-lenge course, bungee area, ten-nis courts, gondola ride, andopportunities to go boating,
fly-fishing, kayaking or cycling.Many of the lodging options
include access for onsite loca-tions that feature a heatedpool, spa and fitness area, plusa game room and various chil-drens activities.
Northstar is a real family-friendly place, said AaronBurchfield of San Francisco,who recently enjoyed vacationtime with his wife and two chil-dren. We hike, hit the pool,and have found plenty of otherthings to do. Ive come up herein the winter many timesbefore to snowboard, but now Irealize its also a great place inthe summer.
The Burchfields were stayingin a condominium withinwalking distance of the village,one of many lodging options atNorthstar. The most affordableis $75 per person studio condothat can also come with freegolf or biking packages.
