TOO MUCH PRESSURE!
Normal blood
pressure
is 120/80.
High blood
pressure is
140/90. What
does all that
mean? What
is blood pres-
sure, anyway?
Blood pressure measures the force
of blood pushing outward on the
walls of the arteries. Remember,
arteries carry blood away from the
heart. This force is created by the
heart pushing blood throughout the
body via the network of arteries. The
numbers in a blood pressure read-
ing indicate the amount of force on
arterial walls during heart contraction
(systole) and heart relaxation (diasto-
le). The higher (first) number repre-
sents systolic blood pressure and the
lower (second) represents diastolic
blood pressure.
Healthy arteries naturally expand and
contract to help regulate blood pres-
sure and accommodate increased or

decreased blood flow during in-
creased or decreased activity, stress,
and other times when blood flow
changes. When arteries become
less flexible with disease or aging,
blood pressure can increase. High
blood pressure, a reading of 140/90
or greater, creates a number health
risks.
High blood pressure can, over time,
lead to heart disease and/or heart
failure. The heart becomes over-
worked when blood must be forced
through stiff, narrowed arteries. In
addition, stiff arteries are at greater
risk for rupture leading to hemor-
rhagic stroke or aneurysm. Both of
these can be fatal or severely debili-
tating. Risk factors for high blood
pressure (hypertension) include fam-
ily history, obesity, lack of exercise,
poor diet and tobacco/alcohol abuse.
The good news is high blood pressure
is preventable and/or controllable.
Other than prescription medications,
blood pressure can be controlled in
multiple ways.
Fitness
Massage Therapy
Enjoy a relaxing, therapeutic
massage. A massage promotes
relaxation, reduces stress and
relieves mental and physical fatigue.
60-minute appointment $60.00
Personal Training:
• Get regular aerobic exercise
• Maintain healthy body weight
• Keep a diet low in sodium
and rich in potassium
• Avoid tobacco use
• Limit alcohol consumption
• Manage stress
Blood pressure should be checked
regularly. High blood pressure very
often shows no symptoms. Consult a
physician if readings are consistently
(2 or more consecutive) elevated.
High blood pressure is a controllable
risk factor for heart disease. Being
diligent about maintaining a healthy
blood pressure of 120/80, or lower, is
critical for maintaining good health.

Why Over-Seed? –
Each year we come to this time in October where we close
the course for three weeks and say we are Over-Seeding.
Why would we want to close the course for three weeks just
as the weather is getting nice and the course is in great
shape?

Hit the Green for PCH
As part of Troon’s partnership with Phoenix Chil-
dren’s Hospital (PCH), we will once again be par-
ticipating by holding several Hit the Green for PCH
events. We will also be asking our guest to round
up their purchases to the nearest dollar at all of
our point of sale outlets here at Copper Canyon
and the Indigo Grille. These events started on Sep-
tember 20th and will run through November 14th.
The reason is to provide our golfers with a better playing
surface and green grass during the cool winter months. If
we didn’t go through the Over-Seed process our Green Ber-
muda Base Turf Grass would become Yellowish/Brown after
dormant during the cooler winter months. For this reason
we Over-Seed with Rye Grass which is a cool season grass
The process starts by cutting the Bermuda grass short also
called scalping, and continues with us cutting the water
supply, thus forcing the Bermuda grass into a state of dor-
mancy. From there we seed the course with Rye grass, and
because we have scalped the Bermuda it creates an ideal
environment for the Rye Grass seed to germinate. We then
turn the water back on and continue to water, as the Rye
Grass seed needs to stay moist until it germinates. Once
the seed germinates we still need to let the plant mature;
like most plants the new grass starts with one blade and as
it matures each plant gets more and more blades of grass.
The weather in October is the ideal temperatures for this
process to take place, and also helps from the Bermuda
grass from continuing to grow.

We hope this helps answer the question of Why Over-

Seed and we appreciate your patience during this
process. 7
