Introducing the MySomersett App
The MySomersett App is here!
This app allows members of the Club at Town Center to conveniently reserve amenity passes via a mobile device or home computer.
Members can reserve their preferred date and time for the lap pool, fitness center and fitness classes, Kids’ Corner and more through the app. We plan to expand the app to provide information and allow reservations for other amenities and as they open up.
Want to start using the app?
From your smartphone, simply download the app from the App Store or Google Play by searching for MySomersett. Once downloaded, click on “Visit as a Guest” to request resident access. Your request will be processed within 72 hours (three business days). You will receive an email once your access is approved.
Want to use your computer instead?
If you prefer to use a computer to make your reservation, go to somersettapp.net and click the “Request Log In” button and follow the instructions.
Can I still reserve at the front desk?
We are confident that you will find this app to be the easiest, most convenient way to make amenity reservations. However, until you are able to get the app up and running, you may still call the front desk to make a reservation. Please be ready to provide an email to secure your spot.
Who is this app for?
For now, this app is only available to members of The Club at Town Center. We will expand access to Sierra Canyon residents as more Club amenities open up.

GOLF TIP:
The Daunting Sand Shot By Stuart Smith—PGA Director of Golf
One of the most daunting shots in the game is the sand shot. I hope that the few tips I provide along with a little practice will help you become more proficient out of the sand.
The sand wedge is weighted and is designed to lift the ball out of the bunker. The first thing to remember in the bunker is that you do not have to help the ball up and out. When practicing out of the bunker, draw a box around the ball – about the size of a normal divot – approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. The goal is to take your swing while remaining on your lead leg (left leg for right-handers), release the clubhead under the ball and splash the sand out of the box. The visual of splashing is to encourage a relaxed motion allowing the club to do most of the work. It is OK to let the clubhead surpass the hands through the ball on this particular shot. Your wrists MUST hinge and unhinge in this shot. Splashing encourages this. Keep your shoulders level – do not tilt them back. This is a common mistake as players often feel that they can lift the ball out with an ascending strike. The sand shot is a descending strike. Slide the clubhead under the ball with level shoulders. 4) It is imperative that you finish facing the target with your weight on your left foot. Your weight can stay on your lead foot at all times during the bunker shot, which leads to a more downward strike. The most common mistake is to finish on your back foot or flat-footed.
When you try to lift the ball out with just your arms this is often the result.
Remember a splashing of the sand, sliding the club under the ball and keeping your weight on your lead foot will get the majority of your shots out of the bunker.
PRIORITY:
• Out of the bunker • On the green • Close to the hole • In the hole ☺
