president’s message

Names to Know at the Club

Dear Premier Club Members, I’m marking the end of my first year back as your Club President, and over the course of the past year I’ve been continually reminded of what makes our Club such a special place. That’s more true than ever during this most festive of seasons.

We’re embarking on one of the busiest months of the year, and there are lots of holiday events to choose from – so if you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to make your reservations and mark your calendars. This year, Hanukkah begins on December 24, and we are hosting our traditional Menorah Lighting and Family Hanukkah Dinner. Members can meet at the Front Courtyard to kick off the Festival of Lights with Rabbi New, friends, and family members.

You’ve probably noticed that we’ve introduced a lot of exclusive new programming lately! Our mission is to create smaller, more intimate experiences for members of all ages and interests, including family-oriented programs. We’re hoping that these special experiences will become lasting Club rituals for generations of members. Our Corks and Conversations and Sunset Rituals series are two examples of this new type of programming. Corks and Conversation includes events such as premium wine tastings and gourmet dinners hosted by acclaimed chefs. Sunset Rituals is our outdoor fun series, which has grown to encompass events like beach yoga, bocce tournaments, and Taco Tuesdays at Shaka Bar & Grill. We’ve also kicked off our Artist-inResidence program, which is currently bringing big-name DJ’s to Beaches Bar as part of the Sunset Rituals series. I hope you’ll check out these innovative new programs – maybe there’s a new Club ritual in your future!

I’d like to congratulate David Wright on taking the helm as General Manager at Boca Country Club. As many of you know, David has many years of experience in hospitality, and has spent his last ten years as Director of Restaurants at the Boca Beach Club. Michael Huminski, also very well-regarded by many of us, is returning to the Beach Club to take over for David. This is great news for all our Club members and guests, as both of these superbly talented gentlemen are sure to bring fresh ideas to their new roles and make positive changes at their respective venues.

Please join me in congratulating David and Michael!

Michael Huminski is Back Where he Started We can’t keep Michael Huminski away from the beach! He started at the Resort & Club as a Seagrille and Ocean Bar supervisor in 2009. Now, he’s heading back as the director of food and beverage at the Boca Beach Club. In between, Michael served as director of beach operations at the Beach Club and as the general manager of 501 East and Mulligan’s. His hard work and dedication were rewarded when he was promoted to assistant director of restaurants & bars. For more than a year, he worked alongside Kevin Ives, director of restaurants & bars, in that capacity overseeing the wonderful eateries and watering holes at the main Resort.

In his new role, Michael will be working with Boca Beach Club General Manager Dannielle Schumanski and the enthusiastic food and beverage team at the Beach Club.

“I’m excited about working with the great people at the Beach Club again,” he says. “And I’m looking forward to furthering the great relationships I’ve enjoyed with our Members over the years.”

Highlights of the spectacular brunch served at Seagrille include:

• Omelet and carving stations • Assorted sushi, including maki and nigari rolls • Charcuterie platter • Smoked salmon and white fish • Eggs Benedict with Tabasco Chive Hollandaise Sauce • Freshly made Bananas Foster Waffles • Bottomless mimosas

’ T is T he Season –

for Truffles

at Lucca

Italy’s finest t ruffles – including white truffles from Alba and black winter truffles – are on the menu this month at Lucca. Enjoy these seasonal delicacies served shaved over signature Lucca dishes or in one of Chef Adam Pile’s special offerings. And be sure to ask your server for suggested wine pairings and holiday cocktails to accompany these culinary delights.

Truffles grow only in the wild and, when it comes to gourmet food, they are worth their weight in gold.

Earlier this year, a 4.16-pound white truffle sold at a Sotheby’s auction for $61,250 to a phone bidder in China – quite a bargain, really. A large crop – the result of abundant rain in Italy – had succeeded in driving wholesale prices down.

What better way to cap the Resort & Club’s 90th anniversary than with the reopening of the Resort Course following a complete course renovation!

The entire course is covered in lush new grass, the putting greens and bunker complexes have been reconstructed and the water features at the heart of the course have been given new life. And that’s just the beginning.

“We have greatly appreciated everyone’s patience and couldn’t be more proud of the world-class experience that awaits our Members,” says Head Golf Professional Jimmy Gascoigne, PGA. “The renovation remained very loyal to the existing layout with some exciting changes.”

Tee boxes were squared in homage to the original 1926 William Flynn design. “Barefoot Golf” family tees were added on every hole and a new practice putting green was constructed adjacent to the first tee. Changes that may not be as obvious at first glance include irrigation improvements, bridge reconstruction and other agronomical/water management upgrades.

“We’re excited to launch a new chapter in the history of the Resort & Club and we can’t wait to welcome our Members back,” Gascoigne says. The Resort Course and Practice Facilities formally reopen on Friday, December 2!

Resort Golf Leagues will commence on Monday, December 5.
