I have included a recipe for citrus vinaigrette in this month’s article; the flavor is bright and lively. My thought
is if winter will not leave at least we can throw rocks at it.
The Farm Bureau agricultural meeting put end users with Virginia suppliers. It was done in a walk around
style where the end users were at tables and the farmers ‘speed dated’ us as they went table to table.
Questions included: lead time for production, what we wanted to see farmed, how much product we could
use and how often we could use it. We tried to get a handle on what they believed to be sustainable, all
natural and organic and how this impacts production time and quantities. I came away realizing that I could
tap into this resource, but there would be a real learning curve. The biggest thing I have to overcome is
production amounts, only so many animals are available, so many pounds of a vegetable, or so much dairy
product. This type of supply seems to fit in much better with a smaller operation or, in a venue the size of
Hermitage, in a specific area of use. We already do some of this with Hanover tomatoes, Virginia rockfish,
Carolina flounder and the regional gold standard, Maryland blue crabs. I am trying to fit in some more of the
meats and cheeses; we will see how that goes.
This leads me into a new dinning option we are going to launch this month. In this newsletter you will find a
menu for a Chef’s table dinner. This will provide me with a place to use some of these products at a
function with a small number of diners.
By the time you read this Easter will be behind us, and Mother’s day will be soon upon us; please make your
reservations.

Pre-Season Ladies Golf Clinics
Rescheduled: April 23rd-April 26th
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Once again the Golf Pro Shop Staff will conduct its
annual Pre-Season Ladies’ Clinic. The dates will be
March 26th through the 29th.
The clinic will consist of four one and a half hour
sessions, and will concentrate on the game’s basic
fundamentals. Some of the basics will include the grip,
set-up routine, swing thoughts, and one session will be
committed solely to the short game (chipping and
putting).
The clinic is an ideal opportunity for beginners and
novice players to get a better understanding of the
game in general; yet it would also benefit more
advanced players who struggle getting their game back
in gear at the beginning of the season. The cost
13
of the clinic is $70.00.

YOGA AND THAI MASSAGE
FOR GOLF
Ladies
Refine, Dine & Wine
Improve the distance, accuracy and consistency of your
swing with these additional programs to enhance your
Golf Conditioning at the Fitness Center: Yoga for Golf
Performance, Core and Flex, One-on-one Flexibility and
Core Training, and Thai Massage.
The two basic components for conditioning will improve
your golf fitness and reduce your risk of injury:
Mobility and Stability
Exercises for stability and mobility are essential for all
golfers, with mobility being established before
strengthening for stability, although mobility without
stability equals vulnerability. Obviously with physical
movement & exercise, there is a fine line between
enhancing these two components, and injury. Mobility is
the combination of normal joint range of motion and
muscle flexibility. Take advantage of our Group Programs
guided by a Certified Instructor to direct you in
movements to improve your mobility and stability.
In addition, we offer one-on-one training for flexibility and
core performance, with benefits from both including:
flexibility, strength, balance, pain prevention, improved
respiration, stress reduction and proprioception (body
awareness).
You will also feel stronger and more
energized after your future rounds of golf.
We also provide Thai Yoga Massage to work deep into
your muscles to restore lost elasticity and to reintroduce
movement to restricted areas. According to the Pacific
College of Oriental Medicine, Thai Yoga Massage is the
best massage technique to lessen muscle stiffness and
reduce muscle fatigue by increasing joint mobility with the
stimulation of joint lubrication, as well as other
advantages that it provides.
So, go like a pro and put some mobility in your
game. Call or come by the Fitness Center and meet
Jami, our resident flexibility expert, or check class schedules for more details.

follow at Hermitage. Practice rounds will also be possible. Keep watching the Winds as more

PROS CORNER
Think Wide with Wedges
When practicing with your wedges it is important to understand a few key ingredients in hitting consistent,
solid shots. First and probably most essential is being conscious of your ball position within your stance
when setting up to hit the shot. In selecting the proper club for the shot you should try keeping your ball
position as consistent as possible within your stance. After determining the proper ball position, be sure
you select the club that will allow you to hit the shot you want with the proper trajectory, spin and roll.
Example: If your ball is just off the front of the green and you must chip the ball the entire length of the
green to a flagstick that is positioned towards the very back of the green. For this scenario you would need
a club that, when striking the ball, would allow just enough air time to create enough velocity for the ball to
roll towards the back of the green towards the flagstick. To accomplish this you may select a lower lofted
club such as a six or seven iron to execute such a shot.
Regardless of your club selection your chipping stroke should bottom out on the ground at approximately
the same position as where the ball lays. In order for this to occur the arc on which your club swings during
a chip shot should always be shallower on the back swing as well as the downswing through contact. This
is a short swing so try to imagine the same kind of pendulum action that you use when hitting a putt of the
same distance. The images below will help you visualize the path that your selected club should take to
accomplish this swing action. When the hands are too active in these types of shots they tend to steepen
the swing which can cause inconsistency in how and when your clubface bottoms out and in turn can result
in poor shots such as the “chili dip” or “skulled” shot. Keep your wrists firm when you chip as this will help
in your chipping efforts. This practice can help your accuracy around the greens without a doubt. If you
have further questions regarding this chipping fundamental please contact a member of the Golf
Professional Staff so we can further assist you in your efforts to become a better chipper.
TPI GOLF FITNESS & REHABILITATION PROGRAMS
Physical Conditioning has become a big addition to the aspects of golf performance in the last 15 years. It
is one of the six categories of the “hexagon of player development” which includes: Basic Instruction, Shot
Making Skills, Course Management, Mental/Emotional, and Equipment. Our TPI Certified Golf Fitness
Instructors are available at the Fitness Center to add that physical conditioning component to your “bag of
tricks”. Through our TPI Fitness and Medical screenings, we can determine your muscle and joint
capabilities and restrictions in order to help evaluate your swing limitations and prescribe exercises specific
to improve mobility and stability through increased flexibility and strength. In conjunction with our Golf
Professional Teaching Staff, we now can provide you with a thorough understanding of your golf game,
personal swing performance, and your individual physical abilities and limitations with an exercise
prescription to enhance your mobility and stability for an efficient swing. In addition, Titleist has certified
Bambi Cocke as a TPI Medical Professional – your resource for help with any medical issues that may be
affecting your game. Contact Bambi at 804.708.8935 or [email protected] for more

Cardio, Core and Strength, Spinning, Masters
Jam, Total Strength and Early Bird 5:30 a.m.
classes including Boot Camps, Yoga and
Spinning. We have some innovative new
instructors that have extensive experience and
followings from around the Richmond area. If you
haven’t taken a class in awhile, check out our new
schedule and our new instructors. We guarantee
you will be hooked on our new and expanded
Group Exercise program.
Personal Training
The Fitness Center is also a great place to start
an individualized program aside from working out
with a group. If you would like some personal
guidance with your fitness regime, or sport
specific training program, our Trainers have
extensive education, certifications and experience
in a vast array of techniques to analyze your goals
and help you begin a program that’s designed just
for you. In addition to our staff of Personal
Trainers that are here to accommodate you as
early as 5:30 a.m. each morning, we also now
have several trainers that are available after work
in the evenings, and during our weekend hours.
In addition to our two TPI Certified Golf Fitness
Professionals available to guide you through your
golf specific testing, analyzing and training, our
Trainers have certifications specific to Juniors,
Seniors, spinning, Pilates, Flexilates, boxing,
running programs, TRX and more. If you need
help deciding who may be right for you, contact
Bambi Cocke, and let her help you decide on a
trainer based on your goals, interests, fitness level
and medical history – 804.708.8935 or

MASSAGE THERAPY:
ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH
Massage therapy works best when you take it on
a regular basis - like a workout program or good
nutrition.
Regular massage therapy is a
preventative measure to muscle strains, tears, or
injuries. Why? Because massage therapy speeds
healing, lubricates joints, increases mobility and
flexibility. Repeated exposure to massage therapy
over time increases those benefits. This
translates into a state of ever-increasing flexibility,
mobility,
circulation,
improved
athletic
performance, postural alignment, and peace of
mind.
The bottom line is that massage therapy is not
just about treating aches and pains - it's about
maintaining your top physical performance and
emotional well-being.
We are thrilled to announce the addition of one
more Certified Massage Therapist to our staff –
Sherry Lalla. Sherry completes our Spa Department, and allowing us to now offer Massage
appointments every day of the week! Our Thai
Massage Therapist, Jami Bailey, is really staying
busy. If you haven’t tried Thai Massage, you’re
really missing out on an amazing experience with
this talented practitioner.
In April, if you purchase a twice monthly massage
package, we will give you 15% off the price of
each massage. Give Vicky Stratton a call or

TOWEL AMNESTY
We promise to forgive – just please bring them back. If you would like to wash them first,
we’ll really be forgiving! Seriously, our towels keep walking away from the Sports Center
somehow, and land in our members’ cars. It happens – but if they can somehow find their
way back to us, then we don’t have to keep spending funds on more. Thanks, everyone!

WITHOUT VOLUNTEERS, THE MEETS CANNOT BE RUN
Swim meets are an “All hands on deck!” event and many hands make light work for all. We ask that each family
commits to support the children’s efforts by volunteering for at least one half of each meet. More really is better –
volunteering makes the meet time fly by!!
Sheri Word is the volunteer coordinator. Please call Sheri Word at 804.741.2221 or email [email protected]
