Glow ball Saturday, June 29; 9 pm shotgun$25/resident; $45/resident coupleRSVP by Monday, June 2420 adult min; 50 maxIt’s glow ball season, and you know what that means! We’re going to light up the course with glow-in-the-dark balls and glow sticks, and we’ll also be firing up the grill and offering a no-host bar. Don’t wait – sign up now because spots go fast.
Stuart Smith – bunker PlayDid you know the most common fault in trying to hit out of a bunker is trying to hit out of a bunker? That’s right – the most common error is a player trying to lift or help the ball out of the bunker by staying on their back foot and lifting their hands/club up through the ball. To successfully hit out of a bunker, a player must put weight on the front foot at impact with the ball while staying down through the shot and trusting that the club will lift the ball out of the bunker by swinging down through the sand. It seems counter-intuitive, but it works.
Practice this by selecting the most lofted club in your set – preferably your sand wedge or lob wedge – and placing the ball just left of center in your stance if you’re a right-handed player (vice versa for lefties). Hold the club with an open clubface. That is, lay the club back so it points to the right or to the sky. Rotate the club around and up with your body and hinge your wrists so that the club and your forearms form the letter “L.” The majority of your weight should still be on your left side and foot. From here, unwind your body to the target while unhinging that letter “L” down into the sand, splashing, or taking out, a six by six inch square of sand onto the putting green. Finish by facing your target with your belly button to the target and weight remaining on your left side.
Rick Christensen – Low and Slow TakeawayIt’s common in our golf swings for our hands and wrists to become overly active in initiating the backward motion of the swing. Don’t misunderstand – good golf swings have hands and wrists involved, but to be effective they must work in conjunction with the rotation of the body. A good swing thought at the beginning of your backswing is to take the club back low and slow to the ground on your target line. Your target line is simply the extension from the ball in line with your target. This allows your left shoulder to start its rotation and enables you to keep your left arm extended on the takeaway. For many, this is referred
to a “one piece takeaway” or “arms connected to body takeaway.” If you are successful, you will see an increase in distance and experience more control with your direction.
Tyler Ramsey – Practice PerfectFor many of us, golf is exercise. For those who perceive it that way, your shot results should be insignificant. Get a good workout by rapid-firing a bag of balls and go on to the day’s next activity. For those of you working on bettering your game, use your time at the range for a specific purpose. Let’s say the direction of your golf shots is poor lately and you’d like to improve. Prior to each shot on the range, be more target conscious. Stand behind each shot and become aware of where you want to line up. You might put some clubs or aiming sticks down to help you get a sense of perfect alignment. This will help you take good alignment to the golf course for your next round. And remember, over 65% of your shots are from within 100 yards with just under 50% being putts. Don’t forget to work on your short game if you want to improve your score.
Cris Novich – No Flop Shots RequiredWhen choosing shots around the green, try to use a variety of clubs – don’t get stuck using just one. For the amateur, it’s best to get the ball rolling on the green as soon as possible. If you’re just off the green and have lots of green to work with, try bumping an eight or seven iron. While this might seem boring, your misses will not be nearly as severe. If you have a tight lie and a delicate shot try a hybrid, which will make the shot feel more like a putt and much easier to control. When using 60° or 56° wedges on shots around the green, you are forced to use a big swing. If you don’t hit it perfectly, your miss will be greatly exaggerated. While hitting a flop shot can be fun, posting a lower score is much better so practice these shots with the less lofted clubs. They will require some getting used to, but over time, you will improve your scoring because of better play around the green.

Spring ThoughtsBy the Law Offices of Stephens & Edwards, LLPSpring is rejuvenating, and a perfect time to clean house, organize your personal affairs and assess any legal documents that affect your life. If you have a trust, review of the trust assets in the spring, and again in the fall, is a good habit to establish. For a trust to be relevant and effective as an estate planning tool, it must be kept current with the inclusion of new assets and the removal of listed assets that are no longer part of the trust. Have you acquired new personal or real property that has not been added to the trust? Have you divested the trust of any assets that may require an amendment to the trust document? Have you experienced a life altering event, such as divorce, death of a trustee or beneficiary, or inheritance of a significant amount of money that may require the trust to be amended, or that may trigger notice to be given to beneficiaries? Seek legal assistance if you have any questions about making necessary changes to your trust, or if you are unsure about whether an asset should be included in the trust now, or at a later date by beneficiary designation.
Spring is also a time when you might be considering making changes to your residence. Living in a community that is governed by a homeowners’ association, may require you to comply with certain provisions of the governing documents, i.e. the CC&R’s, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations, when making physical changes to your home or yard. Before starting your project, review all the governing documents for guidance about whether you need pre-approval from an association committee for the specific changes you are considering. If in doubt, call your association or the management company. Understanding your rights and obligations as a homeowner in a common interest community will empower you and make you a better neighbor.

And if you’re new to the gym or coming back after some time off, our personal trainers can help you get back into shape safely with faster results. Please check out the sports tab of our website for personal training specials and tips.
The Club at Town Center is now offering a great new fitness tool to track personal achievements. Fitassess.com is a web-based fitness assessment program that gives personal trainers the tools to conduct a complete physical assessment on their clients. Tests include BMI, blood pressure, body fat analysis, body measurements, cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and muscular endurance. The program compiles these results for a ranking that is compared to national averages, and it also provides a number for a body’s fitness age. This information is useful for determining a starting point and making it easy to set goals. It’s also a means of tracking your overall improvement, which boosts motivation and keeps you focused on your training. For more information or to set up your physical assessment session, please speak to any of our personal trainers.

Assessment ReminderAssessments are due on the first of each month and are past due if not paid by the last business day of the month. A late fee of $25 will be posted to accounts not paid by the last business day of the month. Accounts 60 days past due will lose clubhouse and/or Canyon Nine privileges. Accounts 90 days past due will be sent to collections. Email AuthorizationIf you would prefer to receive electronic mailings in lieu of hard copies for Association documents, please email [email protected] with your name and address. In the email body, include the following: “I authorize Somersett Owners Association to send me all communications electronically in lieu of hard copies.”
Rules & Regulations ReminderSpring is here, and the landscaping throughout the community will start to green up. But noxious weeds will also be making their return. Lot owners, please be aware of Article IV – Section 23 of the CC&Rs, which states that “no weeds… shall be placed or permitted to grow upon any lot.” To comply, please ensure that noxious weeds are cleared from your property or the Association will move forward with plans to have the weeds removed, with the cost of doing billed to your account(s). Homeowners, please ensure that you are appropriately watering and maintaining your landscaping as the weather improves.
Compliance InformationTo report a non-compliance, please email or call Sean Stapleton at [email protected] or 787-4500 ext 322.
Please note that while we do investigate and document each complaint received, we cannot disclose the status of anyone’s account. Should a homeowner not respond to or correct a violation, he or she will be summoned to a hearing at which time they could be suspended from the Club and assessed fines. Once fines reach $500, a lien could be placed on the property. At this time the Association has a policy not to enter a property, unless it is bank owned, and then only to repair front yard landscaping.
Did you Know?Due to certain Nevada statutes, the Association may not regulate parking on public streets owned by the City of Reno. Although the CC&Rs were written to allow the Association the ability to enforce parking on any and all streets, the law states otherwise. The Association can only enforce the CC&Rs and any rules and regulations established on the private streets they own. Any parking issues on public streets must be directed to the City of Reno at Reno Direct 334-4636 or [email protected].

Weeds, Weeds and More Weeds!
W eeds are an ongoing maintenance issue this time of year for not only Sierra Canyon homeowners but in our Association common areas as well. Remember to plan ahead and hire a landscape company if you are leaving
for the long term – don’t wait until you get back, when the weeds are beyond your capability of removal.
Besides weeds, mow strip trees this time of year will show signs of stress while coming out of hibernation. Sierra Canyon Association sends notices from time to time to owners whose mow strip trees may have health issues or need replacement. Please remember this letter is sent to help you, not to criticize your tree care. The most common issues with the mow strip trees include a lack of established tree wells to protect trees from a mower or weed whacker and having water drip lines as well as lawn irrigation that adds too much water to the trees.
Working on these important projects will help maintain and enhance everybody’s property values to the high level you expected moving into Somersett and Sierra Canyon by Del Webb in particular.

Choosing Drought Tolerant PlantsBy Reno Green Landscaping
Northern Nevada has experienced high temperatures and very little precipitation for quite a few years. These dry conditions can drastically affect your landscaping, not to mention
staggering water bills. There are many drought tolerant plants and flowers available that will not only help you conserve water, but also add beautiful color and texture to your property. Here are just a few examples:• Artemisia Schmidtiana Silver Mound. This is one of the most popular foliate perennials. Artemisia forms a low cushion of ferny, silvery-grey leaves and is a perfect choice for hot, dry areas. • Eriogonum umbellatum Sulfur Buckwheat. This beautiful plant can withstand sun, heat, drought and wind, making it an ideal choice for our dry climate. Flowers range from yellow to orange or red.• Delosperma cooperi Hardy Iceplant. This great groundcover has succulent needle-like leaves and bright purple flowers. • Nepeta x faassenii Catmint. This mound of lavender and aromatic grayish leaves is especially hardy and very easy to grow.• Sedum Autumn Joy. This plant is dependable and very low maintenance. The pink and copper flowers attract butterflies and grows to about two feet tall and wide with wide succulent stems and leaves. • Helictotrchon sempervirens Blue Oat Grass. This grass is the best choice for accents and looks attractive year-round.• Yucca filamentosa Adam’s Needle. This hardy plant features long, blue-green leaves and fragrant cream flowers in the early summer.
