HANSEN FITNESS FOR GOLF
• BY MIKE HANSEN
BY MATT MARSH, SUPERINTENDENT
W
e would like to introduce
our newest staff member
at El Niguel – Chewie.
Chewie is an Australian Labradoo-
dle and will be at El Niguel every day
to help supervise, greet members and
to chase away migrating coots and
geese this winter.
These birds cause significant dam-
age every year, so Chewie is here to
help us protect the golf course.
Chewie goes home every night
with me and is always excited to be
on the course every morning.
He is almost five months old and his training is going great. He
still has a long way to go, but he is getting smarter every day.
A fun fact about Chewie is that – according to his breeder – his
mother, Miss Poppins, was one of the Labradoodles in "A Star is
Born," starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
When you see Chewie on the golf course, please say hello.
READY FOR ACTION! When you're in a rush to make your tee
time and don't have time to hit the range, there are four move-
ments that will help prepare you for your round. The two most im-
portant areas of the body that need to be ready for action are the
shoulders and hips, and these are the movements we have for you
in this video. Best of all, you can do them right on the tee box!
