GoFundMe For Furloughed/Laid Off MCC Staff
A big shout out to member Debbie Ford and all the members who’ve contributed to the GoFundMe for MCC staff who’ve been furloughed, laid off, or seen a dramatic reduction in hours. We plan to distribute it to the 28 staff members who have been affected by this temporary shutdown, and the goal is to collectively raise $10,000 for the staff who are suddenly out of work. More info on the GoFundMe page and mahalo from all our staff!
Tennis
Great tennis players have lots of different tools they can use to beat an opponent, and a must-have tool is a devastating drop shot, since it adds dimension and depth to your game that will keep your opponent on their heels.
In this short tutorial, you can learn a few tips about when, how, and why to hit a drop shot—plus the hidden perils of not pulling it off.
Golf
Alex and his crew have been hard at work on aerating the greens. They’re doing fantastic work!
What Exactly Is Greens Aeration, and Why Do Golf Courses Do It?
Aeration involves making small “pukas” in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deep and strong and produce a better grass. It also alleviates soil compaction, and it’s something we do twice per year on the course.
For more info on the aeration process, check out this article from USGA.
