The number of shots taken by an opponent who is out of sight is equal to the square root of the sum of the number of curses heard plus the number of swishes. ~Michael Green So much golf, so little time... With so many golf tournaments and benefits scheduled during our short northeast summer, the Foundation decided to host the Annual Benefit Golf Outing in September this year. The weather is still nice and peoples schedules tend to open up a bit as the summer winds down. Plus it gives you plenty of time to work on your swing! The University Club Foundation Benefit Golf Outing will be on Monday, September 26th at the Country Club of Troy. As always, there will be lots of fun, contests and prizes. We were able to hold the cost to $150, including greens fees, cart, lunch at the turn, practice range, open bar cocktail reception and dinner at the Club. Even if you dont golf you can still sponsor the event. Its the perfect opportunity to showcase your business or to show your personal support. The Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization, so your donation may be eligible for a tax deduction. Outing Sign-up and Sponsorship forms are enclosed. We hope to see you there.

Have you ever thought about trying Pilates? Well, heres your chance! Megan Haley, a certified Pilates instructor, will be offering classes in the Fitness Center Tuesdays 5-6 pm & Wednesdays noon-1 pm. Pilates is an innovative method of mindbody conditioning that builds strength, teaches body awareness, good posture and graceful movement. It can help improve flexibility and agility, ease back pain & dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. By developing proper technique, Meghan notes, you can re-train your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns which is invaluable for optimal health. UC Members $13; Non-members $15. Contact Megan for payment details & to sign up: 518-248-3866 or imaginebodypilates@yahoo.com. How about yoga? Our Membership Director, Ellen Dragonette, has been practicing yoga for 13 years and spent the last seven months in an intensive yoga teacher training program. She will be done in mid-July and we are happy to announce that she plans to offer yoga classes at the club. Yoga improves flexibility, balance and coordination and helps reduce the negative affects of stress on our minds and bodies. The beauty of yoga, she says, is that it is accessible to absolutely anyone. Watch for more details in next months newsletter.
