Spring Creek Ranch - July 2014

JULY IS SMART IRRIGATION MONTH Begin checking irrigation systems for leaks, geysers, runoff, inefficient watering. Consider running two back to back cycles of ½ the time you choose to deliver water, e.g. run two cycles of 15 minute station times rather than one 30 minute cycle (cycle and soak). This allows better infiltration of water and reduces runoff.

The City of Lehi is encouraging its utility customers to follow responsible watering habits. The current mandatory watering schedule is as follows: Odd-numbered addresses water on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Even-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Spotwatering on Sunday.

Help Our Neighborhood Please report any broken sprinklers or other irrigation irregularities to springcreekhoalandscape@gmail.com.

This would include any areas sprinkling when you think they shouldn’t or any water coming from sprinkler heads in an improper fashion.

HOA Reminders • The monthly HOA Board Meetings are typically held on the third Tuesday of each month. Please check the calendar on http://www.springcreek-hoa.com/ events.html to verify the date and location.

• Remember that front yards must be installed within 6 months of breaking ground on your new home.

Front yards must be sod (pre-cut pieces) only, with an automatic sprinkler system. Vinyl fences must be tan in color. Please visit the resources page on the HOA website for links with detailed information.

• Monthly statements can be emailed (contact K&R) • HOA dues can be paid via ACH drafting (contact K&R). You have the option to pay monthly or

yearly. If you’re able to do so, paying yearly provides the HOA with more operating funds to complete projects throughout the community sooner rather than later.

• No gravel driveways or “horse fences” permitted.

Those currently in existence must be converted to landscaping/concrete or the fencing must be removed

by September 1, 2014.

• When you take your pet for walks in the neighborhood, please remember to pick up after them. There are two new dogipot stations (dog waste removal systems) located along the walking trails.

TENNIS TIPS

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

The Modern Game: The Top Spin Forehand In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to execute the basic strokes for players who are starting to play tennis or who want to get back into the game.

From this newsletter on, I will be offering suggestions on how to play the “modern” game mostly geared towards players who are happy with hitting the ball over the net and controlling the point with consistency. These players may be already playing for leagues or tournaments and are looking for more “weapons” on the court.

In this issue, I will offer instructions on how to execute the Top Spin Forehand. This shot is used when a player is now hitting the ball long and out. The ball will be aimed high over the net and hit with power. The ball will have a “top spin” so that when the ball hits the court, it will take a big hop, forcing the opponent to fall back close to the fence, or to hit the ball on the rise.

In the illustrations, Danny Rodriguez, Director of the PreAdvanced Tennis Program at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. This shot can also be executed from the service line as an “approach shot” to the net.

Step 1: The Ready Position: When Danny prepares to hit

a forehand top spin, he will change his grip toward the “semiwestern” or “full western grip” (The palm of the hand is flat on the handle). His knees are slightly flexed and his eyes are focused on the oncoming ball.

Step 2: The Back Swing: Danny is now ready to perform the shot. The head of the racket is now above is head, his shoulders are turned, the left hand is in front to help him keep the center of gravity in front, and he has loaded his weight to the back foot.

His grip is relaxed and his wrist is “laid back” to allow maximum point of contact.

Step 3: The Point of Contact: The success of a top spin shot is keeping the ball on the strings going from low to high in a 30 degree angle. Danny started the swing high and “looped” it to allow the head of the racket ti drop down. He will be brushing the ball as he makes contact with it. His left shoulder is almost opening and his weight has now been shifted toward the front.

Step 4: The Follow Through: Notice Danny’s finish above his left ear and his elbow pointing toward his target. He has now shifted his weight on his right foot and is ready to shuffle back to his home base.
