Zumba Gold
Zumba Gold was designed for the older, active adult, a person who hasn't been exercising in a long
time or individuals who may be limited physically. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and
Zumba basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity. It's just as much fun, just not as fast!
Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic
program, including the Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rock ‘n Roll and Merengue. The Zumba Gold program strives to
improve balance, strength, flexibility and most importantly, the heart. When you take the Zumba Gold
class, be sure to wear comfortable workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a "ready to
party" attitude! *COVID-19 note: Class will take place in the gymnasium with participants spaced 6 feet
apart. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this class is limited to no more than 10 participants. Those with
underlying health conditions are discouraged from attending. FREE to the public.

Dulcimer Lessons
The lap dulcimer is a stringed folk instrument that evolved in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1800s.
Dulcimers are the easiest stringed instrument for beginners to play, ideal for children, seniors and non-
musicians who want to play tunes or accompany singing. Dulcimers are a relatively quiet instrument.
Their sweet, quiet sound is well-suited to personal relaxation or playing in a cozy environment. The
instructor is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Music Education Department at Auburn University.
Students will be required to provide their own dulcimer and lesson book for the class. Contact
instructor for details. *COVID-19 Note: Class will take place in a large room with participants spaced 6
feet apart. Each class is limited to no more than 10 participants and each participant will be required to

pg. 13 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.

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.
pg. 20 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 oapbnow@gmail.com *COVID-19 note: Physical distancing of 6 feet is to be maintained when not participating directly in pickleball.
