The Feature of the Week is our:

                                               Classic Burger

                Fire grilled Angus burger served with lettuce, tomato, onion and
                                     your choice of one topping

The first known historical accounts of anything burger-like dates back to the time of Genghis Khan (1167-1227).  His army would be forced to fight for days on end, without being allowed to dismount their horses.  As a result, food that could be eaten easily with one hand was developed.  Scraps of meat would be ground up, shaped into a patty and given to the soldiers.  The soldiers would place the patty under the saddle of the horse and ride with it there until it became tender.  Since the first hamburgers were eaten raw, the horse and saddle would help break down the meat into a more tolerable meal for the army.

Golf Fitness Tip - Balance

The golf swing starts with proper balance and maintaining good balance is vital to the golf swing.  One exercise you can do to improve your balance is the standing hip stretch (as demonstrated in the above photo).

Stand on solid ground and grab your left ankle with both hands and try to pull your leg up as high as you can.  Hold your balance for 2 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Using the Right Silverware



Here is a quick refresher course on how to use all that silverware properly!

In order to fully understand, here is the menu that is being served:

First Course:  Grilled Vegetable Napoleon
Salad:           Field Greens Salad
Entree:          French Cut Chicken w. potatoes and vegetables
Dessert:        Chocolate Molten Cake w. coffee

The untensils are to be used starting at the outside (for the earlier courses being served) moving inward toward the plate.

For the Grilled Vegetable Napoleon, use the first small fork and the small knife (the outermost fork and knife).  The small knife is for the first course, not to be confused with the bread knife, which should always remain on the bread plate.

For the Field Greens Salad, next use the small fork. 

For the Entree, us ehte large fork and knife.  When you are finished eating, put your silverware across the plate.  This signals that you are finished with your meal.

After clearing, the server will bring down the dessert fork and spoon which start at the top of the place setting.  The fork is meant for your dessert and the spoon is meant for your coffee.

Golf Fitness Tip - Stability

Body stability is a key component to making an effortless golf swing.  If you cannot separate your shoulder movement from your hip movement without someone holding either your shoulders or hips, then your body stability needs improvement.  By doing alternating leg prone planks (as demonstrated in the above picture) golfers can increase their body stability and ultimately improve their golf swing.

Start by lying prone with your legs straight and your elbows bent and placed directly under your shoulders.  From here, slowly lift your hips off the ground until your spine makes a straight plank.  From the plank position try to maintain a good stable posture and core and lift one leg off the ground.  Hold for the prescribed amount of time and return to the ground.  Repeat procedure and alternate leg.
