Lexington Shutterbugs….
Grab your camera and head out the door.. New group first meeting
Tuesday, January 22, 12:00 pm in the Social Center
Do you like to take pictures? Do you like to be with others? If so,
let’s start a group dedicated to enjoying photo walks or photo shoots
at various locations. Rater than focus on the “how to” of cameras
and photography, this group would bring people together to share the
hobby and the fellowship of photography.
I have some ideas for places to go and I’m sure that others have
some favorite spots as well. Shall we meet to discuss some logistics
and schedule our first outing? If you can’t make the organizational
meeting but would like to join us please call Sue Murdock 689-5560
or send me an email at [email protected].

MEN’S NINE HOLE
GOLF LEAGUE
We had 37 golfers on Thursday, January 17, playing
two best balls of four on the front nine. We all fought
major winds and rain—a miserable outing. Each week
we have had more players now that we are in season.
We have also increased our playing field with several
first time players.
All men living in Lexington are eligible to play. You
must have a handicap on file which usually requires
five rounds of play. Signup sheets are in the pro shop
one week in advance. If you have any questions you
can call Bill at 851-4636. Call or e-mail Hy Weiner
([email protected]) to receive weekly information
and sign up details.
Our next outing is January 24. There will be no
men’s 9 hole play on January 30 and 31, due to the
Couples’ Club Championship.
The Handicap Corner
Player Manipulates Round
The Handicap Committee must adjust or withdraw the
Handicap Index of a player who manipulates scores.
(See Section 8-4f.) Examples of manipulating scores
include the following:
(a) Posting erroneous scores;
(b) Stopping play after 6 holes to avoid posting
scores;
(c) Repeatedly playing more than one ball to avoid
posting scores;
(d) Not adjusting hole scores under Section 4;
(e) Deliberately reporting more or fewer strokes than
actually scored;
(f) Deliberately taking extra strokes to inflate a score.
(g) Posting scores after the revision date to
manipulate the player’s index.
(vi) Continued violations of Section 5-1f.
The Handicap Committee is responsible for identifying
and notifying a player who regularly violates any
provision within Section 5-1f that such rounds are
unacceptable for handicap purposes. If the player
persists in violating clause(s) within Section 5-1f after
being notified by the Handicap Committee, the Handicap
Committee is authorized and encouraged to consider
withdrawal of the player's Handicap Index.
Handicap Index Withdrawal
The Handicap Committee must withdraw the Handicap Index
of a player who repeatedly fails to meet the player
responsibilities under the USGA Handicap System. Before
any action is taken, the player must be advised of the
information available to the Handicap Committee and be
invited to respond to the Handicap Committee either in
writing or by appearing in person. A withdrawn Handicap
Index may be reinstated under conditions set forth by the
Handicap Committee. (See Decision 5-2a/4.)
The Lexington Country Club Golf
Advisory Committee meets on the first
Tuesday of every month (October through May) at
2 PM in the Wedgewood Room of the main clubhouse.
The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Board of
Directors and the General Manager, on all golf related
activities, to further maximize profitability, and to
encourage the game of golf and related social activities
for the entire Lexington Community
The responsibilities of the Committee include:
* Recommend policies, rules, and regulations for the
use of the golf course and related golf operations.
* Interface with Men's, Ladies, and Nine hole golf
associations to ensure their needs are being met
* Identify services desired by the membership and
present suggestions to the GM and Board of Directors,
to improve use, owner acceptance, and revenues from
the golf course.
Golf Tip
At our clinics and golf schools we have observed that
on the practice putting green at least 50-60 % of the
golfers aim too much to the right. Needless to say this
can cause all sorts of problems.
Very rarely will you ever see a touring professional’s
alignment be off that much. One reason is because
they align the writing on the ball with the intended line
of the putt to insure they have their putter square to the
intended line. Some professionals go a step further by
drawing their own line on the ball to enhance their
alignment.
So if you are having trouble lining up your putts, try
lining them up in this manner and chances are you’ll
find yourself sinking more putts.
* Make suggestions to increase sales in the golf shop
* On a regular basis, meet with the GM and Director of
Golf, to assure full support for all golf events and
related social activities.
* Complete special projects as assigned by the Board
of Directors.
In order to accomplish the above, each neighborhood
within Lexington has a member assigned to the
Committee to represent their neighborhood’s ideas and
interests. The members/representatives of the current
Golf Advisory Committee are as follows:
* Jim Andrews (Waterford) current Secretary
* Ray Johns (Wedgewood) current Chairperson
* Ramona Massari (Estate Homes)
* Pat Patterson (Villa Homes)
* William Siewertsen (Lake Village)
* Bettye Strother (Ladies Golf Association)

Tennis Tip
Did you know…
 India is the world’s largest democracy with
more than 700 million registered voters.
 The first modern Olympic Games were held
in Athens, Greece in 1896. There were 311
male but no female competitors.
The two types of serve returns (of
first and second serves) should not
be treated the same in any way.
While returning first serve is a matter of avoiding being
on a defense as the point begins, on the second serve
return the player should think a lot differently.
1. From a mental perspective you must understand that
your opponent is tense getting ready to deliver the
second serve. He now realizes he just missed the first
serve and failing to deliver the second one will cost him
a point to your advantage.
Not only that but if his serve does not have enough
"juice" on it (spin, depth) you could be taking control of
the point.
 On average, you breathe 23,000 times a day.
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
Sommerset Villas: Michael Martin &
Lynn Keeley
Wildwood Crest, NJ
2. On a technical aspect, pay attention to your
opponent's tendency of delivering the second serve: is
he hitting it hard or slow? Is he applying good spin on it
- what kind? Does he usually hit it deep or short into the
service box?
This kind of information can help you decide where to
position on the court for the second serve - inside the
baseline or on the baseline? Also it can give you clues
whether you can attack it with your strong wing or not.
3. From a tactical point of view, is he trying to deliver
the second serve to any of your weak sides, deep into
the court or is he just…. getting it in?
Try taking these notes during the first two receiving
games.
As a general rule, be aggressive with your second
serve return!
That doesn't mean you should try to hit winners off of a
return; instead take the ball as early as you can (move
forward) and preferably hit it to your adversary's weak
side.
By being aggressive and attacking the second serve
you will put a lot of pressure on your opponent every
time he will miss his first serve. Mentally you should
realize that an upcoming second serve is your chance
to take control of the point from the start of it. Use your
strong wing to hit the second serve return as often as
you can.
I never knew a wood stork sat like this.

you've committed to getting in shape, there are several things you can do to ensure you'll exceed your short and long
term fitness goals.
Write your goals down and post them somewhere you'll see them every day. You're more likely to stick with a
program when you have set specific goals.
Always eat a well-balanced diet that includes ample servings of vegetables and fruit.
Assess your current fitness level before starting an exercise program. You'll be able to establish goals that meet
your specific fitness needs.
Talk to your health care provider before embarking on a fitness program, particularly if you are struggling with a
health condition such as diabetes or obesity.
Always stretch before and after your exercise routine. Make sure your muscles are warm first!
Don't over do it! Slowly increase the intensity of your workouts.
Diversify your workout routine. If you do the same exercises day after day, you'll quickly tire and may hit a
plateau.
Work out with a friend. You'll help motivate each other.
Class Changes, Updates, Reminder:
Effective Immediately, in an effort to better accommodate our members and fairness, the Circuit Training
Class on Tuesdays and Thursdays will now start at 1:15 PM and run through 2:00 PM. The circuit, like all
classes, is on a first-come, first-serve basis and you will not be allowed to sign up before 1:00 PM nor are you
allowed to sign up for other members. Please respect these rules and keep the classes fair for all.
Please be on time for all classes, arriving late puts you at an increased risk for injury as you miss out on
valuable warm up time and are a disruption to the class and your fellow exercisers.
Please remember that all classes are on a first-come, first-serve basis which means you MAY NOT reserve a
spot in class nor may you enter an ongoing class to do so. If a class is in session, please wait your turn and DO
NOT disrupt the class in session. Thank you.
Cindy Lee has returned with her ballroom dancing program. Classes will be 1 hour from 12:30-1:30PM and offer
a sampler of dance styles rotating each week.
1st week: Foxtrot and East Coast Swing
2nd week: Rumba and Cha Cha
3rd week: Hustle and Waltz
4th week: Merengue and Salsa
Cost is $10 per person per class.
Last but not least, we've all seen the news reports and this is one of the worst flu seasons on record. If you have
anything more than a runny nose, PLEASE, PLEASE stay home. It's very easy to transmit illness and certainly you
wouldn't want someone else spreading their virus with you. Remember, sharing is not always caring!
Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you Monday morning!
