2013 Over-Seeding Schedule
Golf Course Closes October 7 and reopens on
Monday, October 28.
Why Over-Seed?Each October we close the course for three weeks to accomplishOver-Seeding. Why would we want to close the course for threeweeks just as the weather is getting nice and the course is ingreat shape?
The reason is to provide our golfers with a better playing sur-face and green grass during the cool winter months. If we dontgo through the Over-Seed process, our Bermuda base turfbecomes yellowish/brown after the rst frost of the year. The
Bermuda grass actually goes dormant during the cooler wintermonths. For this reason, we Over-Seed with Rye grass, which isa cool season grass that is able to grow in the winter months.
The process begins by cutting the Bermuda grass short, a pro-cess called scalping, and reducing the water supply, thus forcingthe Bermuda grass into a state of dormancy. We then seed the
course with Rye grass and turn the water back on to ger-minate the Rye seed. Rye grass requires constant mois-ture until it germinates and matures. October
Player Development ClinicAs part of our Get Golf Ready program, we will be offeringa Player Development Clinic on Monday, October 28 from11:00 am to 12:30 pm. We will have both full swing andshort game stations set up with emphasis on the basicfundamentals of each area. This clinic is limited to the rst
20 participants and the cost if just $20 per person.
Please sign up in the Golf Shop.
2
temperatures are ideal for this process and keeps the Ber
muda grass dormant.
We hope this helps answer the question of Why Over-Seed? and we appreciate your patience during this pro-cess.

Jim and Beth Grcevich met and were married inBrunssum, The Netherlands in 1974 where Jimwas stationed as a Sergeant in the United StatesAir Force. They continued their travels with afollow-on military assignment to Oslo, Norwayfor three years and nally returned to the UnitedStates in 1979. After being commissioned in theU.S. Air Force as a 2nd Lieutenant, Jim and Bethmoved to their next (and last duty assignment)Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM. Here they spentthe next 32 years with Jim retiring from the USAFand beginning another 21 year career as a SAICcontractor supporting the Air Force OperationalTest and Evaluation Center. Beth started hercareer while they were in The Netherlands working for the U.S Commissary; she alsoworked for the Department of Treasury in Albuquerque. A natural when it comes tohome decorating, Beth began an 18 year journey as ofce manager for RutledgeHomes Albuquerques Builder of Luxury Homes. Its here where she honed her homedecorating talents while assisting new homeowners with their decorating choices. Jim
really enjoyed that as she was spending other peoples money!
Knowing that retirement was around the corner for Jim, they began looking forsomewhere else to call home something different and somewhere warm. They cameto Festival in 2007, fell in love with the area and actually purchased their present home.Once a month they used to drive from Albuquerque, NM to spend a few days at theirFestival home and practice retire. In October 2012 they made the decision to retire,move here full-time and enjoy all the amenities Festival has to offer.
Both truly enjoy the active adult lifestyle offered at Festival and thoroughly enjoy theworkout facilities/pool at the Sage Center. They also enjoy meeting and socializing withtheir many new friends in the community.

At the recent Conference on Nutrition and the Brain, sixteen researchers pre-
sented evidence showing why certain habits can minimize risk of Alzheimers andother neurological disorders. Neal Barnard, M.D. presented evidence that we may
be able to reduce risk of Alzheimers disease by 70-80%. Just a few good habitscan make a huge difference.
Minimizing dietary intake of saturated and trans fats is very important. Thesefats increase cholesterol levels leading to production of beta-amyloid plaques in
the brain. The plaques are a very common marker for Alzheimers disease. Astudy presented at the conference showed people who consumed higher levels of
saturated fat tripled their Alzheimers risk.
A diet rich in vegetables, legumes, whole grainsand other foods rich in vitamin B6, folate and
many other vitamins and minerals is associatedwith less risk of cognitive decline. A diet rich inplants also minimizes risk of obesity and type
2 diabetes. Both of these can play a role inAlzheimers disease.
Regular aerobic exercise is also a great way to reduce risk of dementia. A brisk
walk of 30-45 minutes three to four times per week can reduce risk by 40-50%.
Adequate amounts of vitamin B12, found in fortied foods and in animal prod-
ucts, helps reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to cognitive im-pairment. An Oxford University study showed vitamin B supplementation in older
adults with elevated homocysteine and memory problems helped reduce brainatrophy and improve memory.
Avoid excess intake of copper and iron. Excess amounts of these metals have
been linked to cognitive problems. Many multivitamins contain both copper andiron. Since most people get plenty of iron and copper in their diet, supplementswith these should be avoided unless directed by a physician.
The antioxidant, vitamin E is easily consumed in nuts or
seeds, papayas, avocados, tomatoes, and spinach. Vi-tamin E has been linked to reduced risk of Alzheimers.
According to Dr. Barnard, food sources for vitamin E arefar better than taking supplements.
New research is showing risk of Alzheimers can be reduced with some simplelifestyle habits. Exercise, low fat diet and consuming lots of vegetables and le-
gumes can go a long way in reducing risk of cognitive decline.
