PRSC TENNIS
Our Turkey Trot Tournament was so well attended with 89 players! Every division winner received a free Turkey courtesy of Arbonne. Food was also included for all players courtesy of the Paso Robles Sports Club and Mercedes Benz Alfano Motors. There was hundreds of pounds of food (both turkeys and canned goods) donated to the North County Food Bank Coalition of SLO County benefitting the local families of our community. The weather was perfect, the food was great, and the level of tennis for each division made this our best tournament to date. There were also complimentary wine samplings from Mitchella Winery, August Ridge and First Crush Cellars. What a treat to have lunch and drink some of the best local wines available!
The winners for Women’s "A" Division were Marla Clay and Diane Beeler. They had to play against 6 teams to take their turkeys home!!
The Women`s "B" champions were Karyn Blaney and Sara Dobroth who edged out 5 teams to earn their turkeys.
Men`s "A" Round Robin draw was very competitive, but there can only be one team to win it all and it was Bob Martz and Lee Hood, they had to play against 8 teams to drag those turkeys home.
Mixed Doubles "A" went to the club’s very own Jarred Hall and Laura Housinger, they played 8 matches to earn their Thanksgiving Dinner.
Mixed Doubles "B" went to Carolyn McNairn and Gerry Main, who played in the division that had 10 teams all together. We did 2 groups of round robins each having 5 teams, and the winner of each group play the final Turkey shootout.
Women`s Singles turkey goes to Rose Galsim who had to win 4 matches to take it. It was more like 4 battles. Nobody went down easy.
Men`s Singles went to Scott Griffin, who beat all 3 players in his group. He had to work hard and beat some very good players to win it.
This great event was made possible by Terri Wilson and Jan Leitner with Arbonne, Mercedes Benz Alfano Motors, and The Paso Robles Sports Club. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
"Be the Ball!"
\...is a famous line from the movie "Caddyshack" when Chevy Chase is telling his young protégé how to better focus to become a great golfer. Let's apply it in a more literal way for tennis.
If you put yourselves in the place of the tennis ball, if you're trying to "be the ball", there are the only two things you care about when you're being hit. One - does this player who's smacking me around have the right grip for the shot they want to hit? For example, they might use a semi-western for a top spin forehand and a continental grip for backhand slice. If they do use the grip correctly, will my spin be correct?.
Two - Does this player have the correct racquet acceleration/speed for the depth of shot they're attempting to hit? If they do and can apply this action correctly, then I'll know how far and at what angle they want me to travel into the court on the other side of the net.
If you break it down, it's really that simple. That's all the ball cares about! How is the racquet face aligned at contact to tell the ball what spin you want to keep the ball in the court accurately and what speed is my racquet moving forward through the ball to tell the ball how far to travel. If you can manage those two things consistently correct, you'll have a pretty good time at this game.
Is that all there is? Well of course not. Before the simple action of actually swinging at the ball, you need to understand what that ball is doing on its path towards you. Very important to consider when you're "being the ball" is what the ball's doing in regards to its: depth, direction, spin, speed, trajectory, height and bounce - especially focus on the ball's bounce - everything changes after the ball bounces. If you can intensely focus on the last few feet of ball travel after the bounce and before it reaches you, you'll understand what the ball's going through much better. This will help you analyze quickly all those variables you have to consider to hit the ball back consistently well.
Try to use Chevy's "be the ball" philosophy a bit more, if you do, then you can be more proficient at this game and have a lot of fun at the same time, just like he and his protégé did in "Caddyshack".
See Ya' on the Courts, Gary
PRSC AQUATICS
Swimming in cold water has many health benefits for the human body. It boosts the immune system, gets the blood pumping and can help in weight loss, not just from the exercise but because the body burns more calories attempting to warm itself back up!!!
The good news for PRSC members is that large pool will be kept 80-82º, while the therapy pool is kept at 85-87º throughout the colder months!!

Fitness Corner with Dr. Andre Acebo
Chiropractor and Strength Coach
This month I'm reminding you of the different training options available at your club.
Here are some things to consider when deciding which way to go.
1) What are your goals?
2) How often can you get to the club?
3) Do you like groups or going solo?
4) What’s your training experience or knowledge?
5) What can you afford?
We have introductory assessment sessions for those new to working out or those who must modify their exercises due to old injuries or limitations. These assessment sessions are included in your membership for no extra charge. After the initial assessment, you will be matched up with one of our personal trainers for a follow up session. Our trainers will help you get started with a resistance workout. They can also answer your fitness questions, and help you decide what type of training best suits you.
If you like groups and are on a tight budget, we have a number of free classes you could take. For best results, working one-on-one with a trainer is the way to go. You pay more for this service.
A new class we are bringing in Jan 2015 is "Boot camp". This is a low cost, 6 week jump start program. It is a group class, taught be our lively trainers. Two sessions per week for only $59 (that's $5 per session!), and it is open to your nonmember friends for only $89. What a great gift idea for Christmas! Look for details on our Facebook, and at the front desk.
Finally, remember that because consistency and accountability are so important for success, we have started the Carey Fitness Challenge. No matter what type of training you choose, this no-charge monthly service will keep you fired up & on track. This is also open to your nonmember friends. Sign up at the front desk, or just show up on Saturday December 6th at 9am or 10am for your initial fitness assessment.
