like one mailed to you give us a call.

Referral Campaign A Big Hit!Thanks to you, six new social, six
national international and one non-resident membership families
came on board from the Summer Incentive referral campaign! I love
that we continue to add new neighbors with the new social program
and that the Pauma Valley Airpark has experienced a bump in
membership this past year, by adding six new pilot members. There
are so many fun events coming up to kick off the new season, so
please get to know each other, send me your referrals, and let’s
have a great year together! Remember, I am open to your suggestions
and comments to help keep Pauma Valley Country Club healthy and
thriving.

The PVCC Garden Group has just returned from an exciting tour of
the Sunnylands Home and Gardens built by Walter and Leonore
Annenberg. We enjoyed a tour of the home’s important collection of
impressionistic paintings and its lush gardens inspired by the
artwork. This was an early sellout tour.
The Garden Group would like to invite you to plan for our next
exciting events of the 2015-2016 season. Mark your calendars for
the following events.

4 NOVEMBER / DECEMBER PAUMA VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB
Women’s Golf AssociationAs I write this newsletter we are only a
few days from re-opening our beautiful Pauma. The grass looks like
green velvet. We have a busy and exciting season ahead for both the
Women’s Association and The Club. It’s time to welcome new members
and the return of the snowbirds.
From October 17th until the 31st Pauma Valley was honoring
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We flew our new pink flags and poles
on all 18 holes. October 22nd we held the annual Ellen Miller Short
Game Tournament. This tournament, put on by the Women’s
Association, is to honor the memory of Ellen Miller who believed in
the importance of practicing your “short game” . (See The Winners
Circle for tournament results.) On this same day we had a silent
auction from 10:00-2:00 to raise money for a donation to the Susan
G. Koman Charity for Breast Cancer. Many thanks to Eleanor
Swinehart, Heidi Person, and Darlene Fauber for organizing this
event which is raising money for this fund. The totals are being
tallied now so stay tuned for the results in January/February
newsletter. I want to thank everyone who donated new items,
brunches, dinners, rounds of golf, and other items for the auction.
Thanks to all of you who sponsored holes, attended the auction, and
played in the tournament. A special thanks to Don Miller for his
generous donation of over $500.00 to the Women’s Association to pay
off the balance due on the Pink Flags. Congratulations to Heidi
Person for her overall gross win of 48 to have her name on the
Trophy. Most of all I thank the little Devil that made up this
challenging short course. Ellen would have loved it!
Ladies Winter Cup Team play is in full swing. The games have
been pushed up earlier than usual in hopes that El Nino will really
come this year. The first match was against Morgan Run at Morgan
Run. Pauma planned to pummel their opponents but problems presented
by the Kikuya persisted and prevented many predictable shots. Pauma
still won 73-71. The next match wasn’t as successful. Playing
against Bernardo Heights at our very own course, on a beautiful day
with a short shower in the morning, Bernardo Heights creamed us
with a 81 1/2 – 62 ½. The greens were quite slow and our Pauma
girls did not adapt as well as Bernardo Heights. Not to worry,
Pauma will make a comeback.
On September 10th Pauma had a WSCGA Guest Day. It was
appropriately named “Last Chance” before the club closed and before
El Nino. Members were allowed three guests each. We had 48 players
and guests represented from 17 different clubs. It was a very hot
day but gorgeous. Everyone had a fun day and a great lunch. The
winners are listed in the Winners Circle.
Ladies, remember to go on to The Women’s Association’s very own
web page located on the Pauma Valley Country Club’s website. Log in
at www.paumavalleycc.com and click on the members only column, then
click on Women’s Association. You’ll be asked to log in. Your club
number is your ID and your last name is your password. You’ll find
all of the Women’s Association information, including the women’s
roster, By-laws, Executive and Standing Committees, news, and
upcoming events. If you’d like a Women’s Association Roster in
print just ask Joyce at the Front Desk to print one for you.
There’s a new Ringer Sheet in the women’s locker room. Ringer is
a game that usually runs for three months, where a golfer writes
down every improved hole score she makes on Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Saturdays. There’s a book on the table where you put your
entire first score and scorecard in the book. You’ll also find the
instructions. Please pay $5.00 to Suzie in the Pro Shop and tell
her it’s for Ringer. This is a fun and rewarding game for all
handicaps.
PickleballNow that the weather is cooling down I hope to see
some of you out on the Pickleball Courts. Pickleball is the fastest
growing sport in the United States for all ages. If you haven’t
tried it we’re there to help. There are Pickleball paddles and
balls available for your use at the courts. Organized play is on
Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:30 and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30.
Come join us…Pickleball Rocks!
BridgeWednesday afternoon casual “play and learn” bridge will
begin October 21st at 1:00 pm in the Clubhouse. All levels of
ability are welcome. Watch for notices from Reatha or Sharon Mould.
Round Robin bridge matches are underway now and will continue until
spring. If you would like to be a spare, please contact Barb Trok
at [email protected]. If you need a spare, you may contact any woman
member not currently playing Round Robin, or anyone on the other
team. Thursday Duplicate Bridge will continue as usual.

Want to Improve your Ball Striking?I would like to welcome
everyone back to Pauma Valley Country Club for another exciting
year of golf. As you may have noticed, Doug Rudolph and his staff
have done a wonderful job on our golf course. Despite the water
restrictions and the unusual humidity with high temperatures, Doug
and his team were able to produce green plush playing conditions.
To help keep these pristine conditions, it’s important for us to
pay attention to roped off sensitive areas and course signage, as
well as distancing carts 10 yards away from the greens and aprons
at all times.
Let’s all do our part to keep the course conditions here at
Pauma Valley Country Club something to be proud of. Thank you.

How to Grip the Golf Club – Right HandPlace the fleshy pad of
your right thumb directly on top of your left thumb.
The ‘V’ made between your right thumb and forefinger should
point to your chin (see image below).
If the ‘V’ points over your right shoulder, your right hand is
in too strong a position.
If the ‘V’ points over your left shoulder, your right hand is in

PAUMA VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 13
Health & FitnessHealth TipsThe new season has begun, and a
lot of new and exciting programs coming our way, through Ronna our
fitness guru and myself with our Ask A Nurse program each month,
shuttle tour of the new Palomar Medical Center, members C.P.R.
certification, and the Awareness Program, with information on what
ALL of us should know regarding Fire Prevention, Paramedics,
Security, our Community Services and pet safety.
To find out WHEN these programs will be held – watch for our
HAPPENINGS e-mail each week, our newsletter, annual calendar, and
of course our Health and Fitness webpage on Pauma Valley Country
Club website. This webpage will not only update you on health
programs coming to PVCC, it will also give you valuable information
about our “GO TO” hospital–Palomar Medical. It will also tell you
of activities in the surrounding area, like hiking, swimming, and
exercise programs outside our gates, just minutes away.
The FLU CLINIC, that was held in conjunction with the Gift Fair,
was a big success, as it always is. My favorite saying each year is
– Get Shot and Then Go Shop – and many did! For those of you that
DID NOT and HAVE NOT, had your flu shot, I encourage you to do so
as we head into the Flu Season. You can get them at your local
physician’s office, or easier yet, go to a CVS store up in Temecula
or Escondido. It takes a couple weeks to really have the shot help
you avoid getting the flu, or at least to lessen the effects of the
flu, and it is an inexpensive investment in your personal
health.
May we ALL have a healthy 2015-2016 season this year!!

Fitness TipsHolidays are approaching, so get a jump on losing
those few extra pounds. Fitness classes continue Mondays at 3:00
pm, Wednesday and Fridays at 9:00 am. Be sure to attend the 8:00 am
walks before the classes on Wednesdays and Fridays. Giving the gift
of fitness or golf fitness to your family, friends, or yourself
during the holidays is a gift that keeps giving. Gift certificates
available. Please contact Ronna for specific information.
Save The DatesRonna and Jerry will continue to present
interactive seminars combining golf fitness and golf swing
mechanics. New next year will be small group on-the-range clinics
with Ronna and Jerry following the seminars. This will allow
members who attend the seminars a chance to implement what they
learned in the seminars.
January 16th – K-Vest Seminar: Learn how pelvis to shoulder
speed ratios can increase your club head speed, are your hips
really driving your swing, do you have a proper acceleration,
deceleration ratio and more. Clinics - January 20th and 27th
February 13th – Feet February: How do your feet work in the golf
swing, walking the course and how your foot type affects them both.
Using the Bodi Trak unit, we can monitor how your center of gravity
shifts during your golf swing and how you can maximize better
footwork during your swing. Clinics – February 17th and 24th
March (Date TBA) – Nutrition Talk: Back by popular demand as the
PVCC members who attended the lecture this Summer gave many thumbs
up and recommended repeating for all PVCC members.
Continue to look for the fitness and golf fitness tips in the
Happenings emails, as education on how your body works is crucial
in maintaining proper health. And, if you have a question or
concern about an injury, please contact me for a FREE 15-minute
consultation.
