thirteen started with our “Live From New York” New Years Eve Celebration and the 6th Annual Food & Wine Fest that has become many Members’ favorite event of the year. Continuing the Jones family tradition, the Club once again played host to the Ione D. Jones/Doherty Championship where Members and spectators watched some of the best women amatuers in the state, country and abroad battle for the 2013 title. As we head into February, we wish all of our competitive players good fortune as the Club Championships get underway and the best players at the Club are subsequently determined. In this issue you will also see events ranging from our savory Seafood Buffets to our Easter celebration, from the Tennis Valentine Round Robin, to Golf Member-Guests; be sure to make your reservations early. We look forward to seeing you and your family, friends and business associates at the Club. All truly great clubs are characterized by enthusiastic Members who “spread the word” of what’s going on at their Club and bring their family and friends to share in their memorable Club moments. At the end of the

year we announced that children of members will now have privileges under their parents’ accounts through age 28 and we also announced a NEW Junior Legacy Program for children of members that are between the ages of 28-35. To date, we’ve re-activated the Club privileges of over 70 children and had 10 new Members join under the legacy program. We look forward to seeing you enjoy the Club more with your family! Please spread the word if you know of any member’s children who would be interested in joining. In addition, we thank you for continually talking about your Club experiences with your friends and business associates; you’ve created a continuous flow of interested prospective Members that have heard “you have to join Coral Ridge.” We thank you again for promoting your Club and for being so welcome to new Members that are looking to become a part of the Coral Ridge Family.

Tips for a Smooth Round February and March mark the height of the golf season! Here are a few tips to help make your golf experience as smooth as possible: • Provide all of the names of the Members and guests when making your golf reservation. This helps the staff prepare the golf bags and carts for you. • Check-in at the Golf Shop as soon as practical, so we know that your group is here. • Please be ready at the first tee at least (5) minutes ahead of your scheduled time. Every group that is late moves the next time back and this is discourteous to other Members. • Play “ready golf ” whenever possible. If each person hits their shot when “ready” instead of when they have honors, your group can save several minutes each hole. (This should be agreed upon by your group prior to play due to possible match play rules issues.) • Please never proceed to the 10th tee to ➤

start play without consulting with the Starter or Golf Shop first. It is imperative that we know where golfers are on the course at all times. This action may also interfere with maintenance operations that are being conducted. • Take a lesson or practice more! Not only can this make the game more enjoyable but knowing your game better can quicken your club and shot selection during play.

Caring for your Course A fresh ball mark repaired by a player takes only: FIVE SECONDS. A freshly repaired ball mark will completely heal in: TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. A fresh ball mark left unrepaired for only one hour requires: FIFTEEN DAYS before the ugly scar has satisfactorily healed. Repairing ball marks isn’t just important for the health of the green, for smoothrolling putt or etiquette. It is our obligation to help take care of the golf courses we play. Repairing ball marks is a big part of that obligation to the game.

WITH THE COOL WEATHER

arriving and the rainy months in the past, it is very important to keep the green surfaces open. We do this by solid tining the greens on a bi-weekly basis. The process involves making small holes in the green surface, which helps the movement of water to the root system and promotes new root growth. We then smooth the surface with a roller and lightly topdress the greens. The importance of applying sand to the greens after this process is extremely beneficial for the overall quality of the putting surface; the sand provides the smooth surface everyone is looking for. This entire process takes two days to complete; which is why tee times will start on #10 one day per week. I would like to thank everyone for their cooperation. C O U R S E U P D AT E S

TIPS FROM THE PRO

Use Clubs or Aim Sticks to Practice Effectively There is nothing wrong with hitting drivers at the range, but there has to be some structure and discipline to your practice. Otherwise, you might do your swing more harm than good. This drill will give you purpose to your practice. 1. Identify a target. If you are focused on where you want the ball to go, you will make a more focused swing. 2. Lay a club or aim a stick down to the right of the ball pointing at the target you picked. Then lay a club or aim stick parallel to the first club or stick, along the line of your toes. You will see that the clubs or sticks will look like railroad tracks. This will help with your address being parallel to your target line. 3. Try to treat each shot as if it was a shot you are hitting on the course. 4. Remember that perfect practice makes perfect play.

Special club events, wine dinners, Saturday night seafood buffets and holiday dining are popular events that sell out and require the purchase of special food and beverage products, equipment, entertainment, etc. Last minute un-replaced cancellations (including changes to the party number) are unfair to those Members who are turned away due to full capacity and cause the Club to incur unnecessary expenses if the reservation is not replaced. As a result, the Club must exercise a firm enforcement of the special event and holiday dining policy. • At the time of making your reservation we will charge your account 100% of the event price. • Please let us know if you have other Members dining with you, so we may contact them. • You may cancel 7 days prior to event, without being charged. • If you cancel less than 7 days prior to the event, you will have to pay 100% of the event price. Note: Should there be a wait list and we are able to fill your reservation less than 6 days prior to the event, your account will be credited in full.
