Seated Zumba Gold on Zoom

Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia.

Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted

for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated

position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical

Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way

to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). Participate

from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. This class will take place on Zoom every Thursday at 10

a.m. You must have video capability to view the class. FREE to the public.

Golf

Indian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in

Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as

the "best golf city in America". It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a

bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the

Saugahatchee County Club, a nine- hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947.

The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the

cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was

redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006.

Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and

sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team.

Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional

and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional. Golf lesson rates for Adults are $75/hr. or $45/half hour

and rates for junior golf lessons are $65/hr. or $35/half hour. To register for golf lessons or questions,

please contact (334) 821-0880. For tee times and more information go to: www.indianpinesgc.com

*COVID-19 note: One person per cart (only exception will be a junior golf who is not a licensed driver

may ride with a parent or grandparent). Each person must have their own set of golf clubs and golf

bag. No sharing equipment is allowed due to guidelines from State of Alabama.

Persons not playing golf will not be allowed on the golf course. Spectators such as wives, girlfriends, etc. will not be allowed on course due to guidelines from State of Alabama.

Pickleball

This recreation craze has an estimated 3 million players nationally and has become the fastest

growing sport in the US according to the USA Pickleball Association. It borrows from tennis, ping

pong and badminton. It is easy to learn and with less ground to cover on a smaller court and is not

hard on the joints. Pickleball is a great alternative to tennis as adults get older or for anyone nursing

overuse injuries from other sports. In addition to simply being fun, the moderate exercise and social

nature of the game keep participants coming back week after week. The games in Auburn are played

on the six Samford Avenue tennis courts (lined for pickle ball). There are also two courts at the Frank

Brown Recreation Center. E-mail [email protected] *COVID-19 note: Physical distancing of 6 feet

is to be maintained when not participating directly in pickleball. The bathrooms at the tennis centers

are open and will be cleaned frequently. FREE to the Public
