High School GolfThe High School Golf season will be starting in mid-Feb-ruary here at RVCC.

This is a total involvement of about 40 students with a large part of these kids already members of RVCC. The schools are allowed to use the golf course, practice facilities, driving range and putting greens after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The coaches are REQUIRED to be on site with the students at all times. The coaches and students will be fully informed as to the club rules, dress codes, member priority and all other informa-tion necessary to use our facility with the members in mind. The hosting of these schools follows a long-standing tradition of the Club in supporting Junior Golf. The students are very appreciative and cooperative during their time here at the Club. They do help the Golf Shop Staff when asked for assistance in volunteering time, sand & seeding or any-thing else we may need here at the club. As in past years, each school will receive money from
the fund raising done by the RVCC Shoot Out held in June. Each school may use this money as they choose to assist their golf program in travel, food, equipment, etc.

RVCC Golf NewsBy Tracy Snyder
4 – RVCC Club Bulletin – February 2016
One of my favorite parts of teaching has become the “playing lesson.” Maybe a part of the fact that it has become my favorite is that it has definitely become a student favorite. The feedback is consistently positive. So, what is it about this format that has both the student and the teacher enjoying the experience? Here are some thoughts.• The relaxed atmosphere. It doesn’t always start out that way for everyone...many students want to perform well for the teacher. This can create some initial tension that goes away in a few minutes. Once the student realizes that we are there to help them become a better “player,” not how well you play at that moment, the atmosphere lightens.• The potential for learning is definitely a two way street. Meaning, the golfer can learn and the teacher has a tremen-dous opportunity to observe the student in action. Seeing what tendencies a golfer has while playing can be of real assistance as we move forward to help you realize your potential as a golfer.• Non-range like situations. Simulating uphill, downhill, side hill and grass differences is just not available on a driving
range tee. This not only helps you understand how to deal with these differences but how these situations affect the ball flight. • Observing how you handle on-course challenges helps the teacher know where you might be costing yourself valuable shots. One of the greatest differences between those that play professionally and the everyday amateur is the under-standing of what shots should or should not be attempted. Trying shots that the situation won’t allow or is outside of the golfer’s individual ability is one of the biggest reasons for added strokes on the scorecard. A very typical problem is club choice and understanding just when a certain just club won’t work.How each of us learns is very individual. Many of us are on our best behavior on the driving range and typically revert to our tendencies in on-course situations. Think about a playing lesson to give your instructor the opportunity to observe and address your areas of needed improvement.

Grounds ReportBy Craig Hilty
After wild weather in December, Jan-uary has been fairly mild. We recorded 7.61 inches of precipitation. Fortunately, along with the rain, the mountains
recorded record snowfall! This is very welcomed news, and has put a major dent in the 3 year drought that Southern Oregon has endured. For those of you who did the rain and snow dances this past fall, I sincerely thank you! It would not hurt us to keep the precipitation train rolling right through spring as well…so keep dancin.’ We have experienced more frost delays this winter than we encountered last year. This is always an inconvenience for the golfers but does provide benefits for the golf course. The frozen temperatures allow the grass plant to slow its growth down to a slow crawl. This allows our staff to focus on winter projects (tee leveling, irrigation issues, tree work, cartpath edging, etc.) rather than mowing the turf. When the turf is frozen, and we are under a frost delay, it is extremely impor-tant to stay off the grass. Grass plants are made up of mostly water (over 80%), this means that the grass blade freezes. It also freezes the dew that has formed on the outside of the grass blade. When walked on or driven over, during such conditions, this causes the grass blade to actually break and cells within the plant rupture, thus wounding or killing the
grass plant. Typically, the damage does not show up until days later. You might have noticed tire tracks on holes 8-12 on the Rogue Course, those grass blades are dead (see pic-ture below). These were done by a golf cart that drove on the course while the course was under a frost delay. I am happy to note the only damage that occurred was held to fairways and not greens. These tracks will be noticeable until the soil temperatures warm and the grass starts to grow again, then we may need to aerify the tracks and follow up with over seed. With respect to frost delays, please understand that we will get you on the course as quickly as possible when no damage will occur. Thank you for your patience ahead of time for the pesky frost delay days!! Please continue to fix your ball marks and one other on the greens, fill or replace all divots taken on the course and please rake the bunkers after you have hit your shot. It is also Rogue Valley Country Club policy to leave the rakes on the outside of the bunkers when you’re finished raking your footprints. Leaving the rakes outside the bunker is a USGA recommendation as well. Lastly, please feel free to contact me with any of your questions!
Respectfully,
Craig Hilty

Around The Club
The winners of the Alan B. Holmes raffle on their way to California to watch the Oregon Ducks beat the USC Trojans 48-28. This was an auction item purchased at the Alan B. Holmes Scholarship Golf Tournament generously donated by the Papé Group to assist in our scholarship offerings. The donation included eight tickets to the Ducks/Trojans game, a jet to and from the game in Los Angeles, and limousine service from the jet to the game and from the game back to the jet. The gentlemen met the morning of the game at the Club to have breakfast, flew to the game and flew home, ending the day with dinner at the Club. They all said it was an amazing experience and they had a great time.

Club Happenings
Looking Forward to the New YearDear Members, We have barely begun 2016 and the Club is off to a busy and successful start! Through the holiday madness at the end of the year many of you may have noticed a push towards the revitalization of the Tennis Club at RVCC. In October, we began advertising a 3-month tennis preview member-ship that concluded on December 31, 2015. We had a great response from the community and, with the help of the RVCC staff and efforts of the Tennis Center, we were able to sell over 30 tennis preview memberships! Other changes involve the rvcc.com website. The staff has been working diligently on adding current infor-mation to the website on both the public and member only pages. Some of these changes include an updated calendar on the member log-in side, as well as dining and tennis information and new membership catego-ry information. In addition, you will notice the new “Massage Therapy” tab online. You can now make res-ervations for massage therapy and physical therapy by
calling 541-727-8846. Lori Rogers, Massage Therapist, will be avail-able for limited hours until we build up a larger clientele. You can book appointments Tuesdays and Thursdays, between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm. In addition to these changes, I am excited for many upcoming events. This month we are starting Gourmet Burger Tuesdays, our second wine tasting on the first Saturday of the month, cooking class, the Teddy Abrams event, and many more! Our last few events have been widely successful and well received thanks to the membership participation and the RVCC staff! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the social calendar and planning ahead. I am looking forward to the rest of 2016 and all it will bring!
