Golf Like a Pro

BRIAN BATEMAN, HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL
It is tough to believe that we are on the backside of the 2020 golf season. Even as the days get shorter, we are adding more golf events. We will continue to plan and host golf events until participation levels drop or the weather stops us. We will send out information on events as they are set, so keep an eye out for upcoming events.
One change that has been lost in the hectic circumstances this year was the adjustment to the World Handicap System. With almost a full season under our belt, the Handicap Committee will be going to working on USGA recommendations. Here is a quick overview of what they will be looking at over the next few months.
The members of a Golf Club depend on the Handicap Committee to:
1. Establish a Handicap Committee. 2. Ensure the Club meets the definition of a Golf Club. 3. Know the Rules of Handicapping. 4. Educate and communicate the Rules of Handicapping to members. 5. Ensure course details are accurate (Type 1 Club). 6. Make the process of converting a Handicap Index to a Course Handicap™ as easy as possible. 7. Facilitate the timely submission of scores. 8. Maintain accurate player scoring records. 9. Apply applicable penalty scores and adjust the Handicap Index of any member whose Handicap Index does not reflect their demonstrated ability. 10. Perform annual handicap reviews.
If you have any questions about handicaps or would like to serve on the Handicap Committee, please let us know.

Wine of the Month
RODNEY STRONG CABERNET SAUVIGNON DRY. BIG AND BOLD.
Their story began over 55 years ago, when a celebrated American dancer named Rod Strong settled in Sonoma County to pursue a second lifelong creative passion: winemaking. Rodney Strong Vineyards was the 13th winery bonded in the newly discovered Sonoma County wine industry. A trio of winemaking paths crossed when Rick Sayre joined the team as Winemaker in 1979, and again when the Klein Family, 4th generation California farmers, purchased the winery in 1989 and initiated a renewed commitment of modern artisan winemaking. Through the years, Rodney Strong Vineyards has earned the reputation for critically acclaimed Single Vineyard and Reserve wines, stand out Estate releases and best-in-class Sonoma County varietal wines.
Rodney Strong received the honor of being named Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year in 2013. Introduced in 2000, each year the Wine Enthusiast honors those that have impacted the wine and spirits industry with their Wine Star Awards. With the designation of American Winery of the Year, the Wine Enthusiast has recognized Rodney Strong’s commitment to quality, luxury and Sonoma County.
Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in the rugged, rocky hills and valleys of the warmest regions in Sonoma County where rich and distinct Cabernet Sauvignon thrives. It’ rich with dark cherry, plum and baking spices. The delicious fruit is accompanies by crushed violet and black pepper notes. The palate has medium tannins, lingering spicy oak flavors and a lush finish.
A wine to be enjoyed with beef, duck and wild game. You’re invited to join us at The Argyle where you can order your favorite meal and pair it with a glass or bottle of Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year for cooking. The colors, textures and flavors are varied and outstanding.
Root vegetables such as carrots, squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes provide for a variety of tastes. Broccoli, spinach, kale, artichokes, Brussel sprouts or apples are also fall favorites. In addition, whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats and millet, along with legumes of beans chickpeas, lentils and soybeans provide great flavors and vitamins. Combine several of these foods and you’ve got a great fall dish. Here’s to your health!
Janet Beebe
LAKEWOOD OAKS COUNTRY CLUB FEATURED ARTIST
Janet Beebe, @theLAKE, is known to many Lakewood residents as our dedicated “sunrise” photographer. Every morning one or more of her pictures are posted on Lakewood Yes Facebook page of that morning’s sunrise. The morning colors, silhouettes, wildlife, and marina scenes Janet shares with us are unique and always a welcome surprise as we sip our coffee. During the months of September and October you can enjoy Janet’s photos on display in the Argyle Gallery.
Seriously, why would anyone get up that early to take pictures of a sleepy Lakewood sunrise every morning without fail? Janet recalls getting up before dawn for thirty years, in order to beat the traffic to her job as a dental assistant on the Plaza. When she retired, the early morning habit stuck. Janet has taken photos around Lakewood for years, starting with family pictures of her two children. Both were talented swimmers, and Janet religiously recorded swim meets with her camera. When Taylor and Ashley left the nest, Janet took up the early morning photo shoots to fill the void.
Janet’s daily 5:30 a.m. ritual begins with an iced coffee from Starbucks. Then, it’s off to the East Lake Marina to capture photos of the morning’s sunrise, rain or shine, hot or frigid, in color or black and white. We’ve all seen a few shots taken through the car window or under the edge of a striped umbrella due to the weather. One favorite video is the West Lake wind sculptures spiraling and whirling in an early mist.
On these morning photo shoots, Janet enjoys the company of neighbors jogging, walking their dogs, or just enjoying the early morning scenes like she is. On the dock, she surprises the geese, slips in a shot of her friend Mercury (a seasonal resident blue heron who hangs out looking for an early breakfast), and frequently captures a shot of a dedicated fisherman heading out for the catch of the day.
Janet and her husband Tim have lived in Lakewood since 1986. They were good friends in 4th grade, but didn’t date until they graduated from Raytown South and headed off to college. Janet studied Art and Science at UMKC and graduated from KC Medical and Dental College. She and Tim were married in 1974. They both love life on the lake and make it a point to be out on their pontoon as often as possible. Janet is also an active member of the Garden Club.
As Janet’s interview for this article concluded, she reminded herself to be out and ready for the Bass Club fishing event the next morning. She’s excited to see the anglers setting out to hook the “biggest fish” of the day, and maybe she’ll “catch” some good photos to share with her neighbors @theLAKE. Thank you, Janet, for bringing us scenes of early morning Lakewood before many of us have peeked out from under our blankets.
“Sunrise” fans are invited to stop by the Argyle for a drink while you enjoy the photos by Janet Beebe. Stay for dinner and say hello to some of your neighbors.
