FITNESS TIP OF THE MONTH
Progress Comes From Progression
One of the biggest mistakes people make is doing the exact same workout with the exact same weights every week. The body adapts quickly.
At Wynlakes Fitness, we focus on gradual progression— adding a few pounds, an extra repetition, improving technique, or simply moving better.
Small improvements repeated consistently lead to big results over time.

BACK PAIN BODYWORK & MASSAGE THERAPY
Next to the common cold, back pain is the most frequent complaint heard by doctors.
Massage kneads away tension in the muscles, as well as relieving discomfort in surrounding areas that are “guarding” in response to the pain. It increases circulation, allowing healing nutrients and oxygen into the tissue.
Don’t forget we have GIFT CARDS for birthdays and special occasions. Call Foad, today.

SUPERVIEWS by Brad Barron
Welcome to the dog days of summer. The heat and humidity have ramped up the last few weeks and we are all ready for some relief from this heat. Unfortunately we will have to wait a little longer for some cooler weather. That being said we had a very good week during our shutdown last month for maintenance and the course is now performing at a high level again.
Last month we shut down for a week of maintenance and aerification on the golf course and it could not have gone any better for us. We had no issues with rain and my crew showed up and showed out during this week. It was extremely hot and some longer days but we got everything accomplished that we wanted too. We solid tine aerified the greens, topdressed the greens heavily, did a lot of brushing and rolling on the greens. We had a group
Club ChampionshipRESULTS
come in and dry ject our greens, which is another form of deep aerification. Resodded two tee areas and also added some sod in a few bare areas on the course. We also fixed a few irrigation leaks, got to put out a couple of granular fertilizer application on the greens and also got the course mowed and ready for play that weekend. It was a very busy week but we got so much needed work done on the course. I appreciate the membership being understanding during this time. Now it is time to get the final push through summer and keep this course playing at a high level.
We are all looking forward to some cooler weather but we have had a great summer so far so lets finish strong. I look forward to seeing everyone out on the course and at the club. Thanks again for all of the support!
