Stoney Creek Golf Club at Wintergreen Resort hosted the 2013 Virginia Turfgrass Council's golf fundraiser on Monday, June 3. Ideal course conditions and great food greeted the 156 golfers who descended upon the Rees Jones designed course for a 10: 30 am shotgun.
Winners in the Gross Division was the Virginia Green team of Gil Grattan, Brian Vincel, Bill and Jim Gallagher.
Winners of the Gus Constantino trophy in the Net Division went to the Harrell's team of Matt Greg, Chip Bass and Curtis Buxton.
Players were greeted by a pre-tournament skills competition that consisted of a one hole putting contest, flop shot over 'the wall', and a long drive competition.
On the course, beer sampling from Blue Mountain Brewery, The Devils Backbone and The Wild Wolf Brewing Company made the golfers feel right at home with their signature brews.
Congratulations to the winners...

Preparations under way for 2013 golf season
Preparations for the 2013 golf season are well under way. Despite the recent snow storm, the golf staff and maintenance team have been diligent in getting ready for a great season.
New golf shop product is making its way on the floor for the Spring. Footjoy, Oxford and Greg Norman apparel just to name a few, are here as well as a nice complement of outerwear, pull overs and sweaters. Perfect for the start of the season. Come in and see a sampling of the new offerings!
Operationally, we have made an adjustment to the bag drop and starter's area (see pictures) at Stoney Creek.
In an effort to create a more effective and professional greeting for our members and guests, the bag drop area and Guest Service Attendants will be positioned closer to the golf shop and restaurant. This change will also free up parking space.
From a "curb appeal" perspecitve, members and guests that frequent Stoney Creek may also notice that the old railroad ties have been removed from the parking lot. Also getting cleaned up are the pot holes and low spots in the parking lot area.
The bag drop booth will now become the starter's booth! This booth will come complete with extra sand bottles, daily cart rule signage, a starter's desk and a starter! Once golfers have registered in the golf shop, as always, they will be required to give their receipt to the starter.
We feel strongly that these small changes will continue to enhance the golf experience at Stoney Creek.

Off Season Golf Stretches
Top to Bottom in Ten Minutes
Now is the time to think about getting ready for the
upcoming spring golf season. It’s easy to get started with a program that
targets some important golf swing parts and takes less than 10 minutes. Remember to address both sides and breath into each stretch for 10 seconds. All stretches should be performed relative to the players' flexibility, never beyond the point of discomfort.
Just a few series per week will enhance your game and help prevent injury when you get the call to the first tee this spring!!
| Stretch back of wrist |
| Stretch forearm |
| Arm at 90 deg., pull across chest |
| Hand between shoulders, pull elbow |
| Lower back flat, lower slowly |
| Right over left, then left over right |
| Align knee over ankle, stretch hip flexor |
| Straighten heel to ground for calf stretch |
