| OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2026 | 37 Golf Club Spring has sprung! We experienced several rain out days in February and March so we hope that April will bring us closer to 18 holes and a functional lake in which to deposit balls! We had our February Guys and Dolls on Valentines with some big winners. Closest to the Pin were Kathy Thornton and Mike Bell. Magic circle winners were Jean Richmnd, Greg Coffey, Rob Ryan, Roger Arlich and Scott Taylor. We had three teams, all five under gross. (1) Westwater, Royters, Cies (2) Drace, Komisareks, Machnick (3) Palmer, Bixler, Forsberg and Reinhardt-great job to these teams. (See photo) The ladies had their annual Galentines on Feb. 25 after being rained out two weeks in row — we had a great time complete with our Starter Randy Royter who kept us on track and to Gay Spencer who made us all treats for a very warm day-see photo insert. On March 12, we had a free instructional event with Dori O'Rourke at our Lanai opened to all residents who is an approved outside golf instructor to teach at OHCC. Upcoming Guys and Dolls are on April 11, and Touring Amateurs are on April 13 at Native Oaks. Fridays continue weekly at 1 pm teaching and casual play. Last Friday of each month is a Fling Fest 1 to 3 pm more of a scramble and having mixed traditional golfers out with Flingers. See website for details. The Golf Club is transitioning to Unknown Golf which will allow us to manage handicaps more efficiently while scoring live possibilities in the future and ease of use for our almost 700 members.

Written by Teresa Deutman If you are looking for a way to reduce stress and anxiety, and a way to increase flexibility and balance, then Tai Chi exercise may be just what the doctor ordered. Originally, Tai Chi was developed for self-defense, but has evolved into a graceful form of exercise. Some describe it as meditation in motion because it promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. Tai Chi is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion. Tai Chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. It is especially suitable for older adults who otherwise may not exercise. The benefits of Tai Chi may include decreased stress, improved mood, increased energy, improved flexibility, balance, and agility, and improved muscle strength. OHCC offers a free Tai Chi class each Tuesday and Thursday, 9 to 10 am, in the Abravenal Hall. Each class is led by a video presentation that lasts about 45 minutes.
