Welcome Home! Greetings! Season is upon us, not only with the Club gearing up for the coming months and returning snowbird members, but with the festivities of the holidays. We had many changes over the summer, most notably in our management team and the season is hopeful for a bright and shining celebration of activities, family, friends, evolution and continued success of our Club. Please extend a warm welcome to Rob Martin, our new General Manager/COO. He has hit the ground running, working (mostly 7 days-a-week) to keep our Club operating at a very high level. Paul Rifenberg, PGA, is Director of Golf. Paul has been at Wycliffe for 17 years and is a very well-liked figure among our members. Christopher Park is our new Executive Chef, joining us from Ibis Golf and Country Club. He also has previous experience at Ballen Isles Country Club.
Our new Clubhouse Manager is Daniel Low, who joins us with extensive food and beverage experience, plus he is certified through the Master Court of Sommeliers. We have a new Director of Engineering, Mark Jacobson. Mark learned the “ins and outs” of our facility quickly and strives to improve our Clubhouse. Michelle Phillips (not the one from the Mamas and Papas) is our new Director of Marketing and Communications. She will be an invaluable addition to promote Wycliffe. With the anticipated passage of the proposed Facility Renovation, Wycliffe will take a huge step toward elevating the lifestyle of our current members and advancing our position among competitive clubs. Careful planning by our professionals and, especially, by our very talented Property Committee will assure that this is accomplished with minimum disruption during construction. In addition, 2018 will see the renovation of the Driving Range to correct significant problems (irrigation and drainage) and the construction of a new, modern Golf Practice area. This will not only be used for honing golf skills, but also for events such as short game competitions. Your Board continues to work for you and is excited about the future of our Club. We are fortunate to live in a robust community with gorgeous weather and a wonderful lifestyle. Please join me in celebrating everything we have and have a wonderful holiday season.
Doug Lipman President

FOR ANDREW FIKE, “the grass is always greener” is a motto to live by, especially when he is on the job. Since he first started working, Fike has always been focused on managing the greens versus playing the greens. He began working on a golf course before he ever swung a golf club. His career has been immersed in turfgrass management and maintaining impeccable golf course conditions for his clubs’ members and guests. It is that dedication and expertise that has brought Andrew Fike to Wycliffe Golf & Country Club as the Director of Agronomy. In agronomy, Fike understands the properties of how the soil interacts with the growing turf; what fertilizers the grass requires and when and how to apply these nutrients; how climate and other environmental factors affect the grass at all stages; and how best to control weeds, insects, and turfgrass diseases. With the demanding South Florida climate, Fike’s technical expertise is a natural for managing the landscape and heavily played, championship courses for the large membership of Wycliffe. Andrew began his career working at public courses in central Ohio, solely for a part time job. After realizing his summer job was turning into a passion, he then decided to pursue a career in turfgrass management and enrolled at The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute where he graduated in 2009. He landed his first internship in 2006 at Dunwoody Country Club in Atlanta and success followed him to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida as the Assistant Golf Course Superintendent and again at PGA National on the Champion Course in 2010. In 2012, he was promoted to Golf Course Superintendent of the Champion Course at PGA National. Fike was instrumental to the success of three Honda Classic PGA Tour Events. Throughout his time on the Champion Course, Fike worked closely with The Nicklaus Design Group for the completion of two golf course renovations. Success continued for Fike at the esteemed Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Georgia in 2015 and in 2016 landed at Wycliffe.
Andrew Fike, Director Of Agronomy
Splendor in the Green!
Fike is responsible for managing the Audubon International partnership and maintains the bird boxes, habitats of our feathery friends throughout the community. He works in coordination with Dr. Ed Rubin, and ornithology expert Brian Beckner. Fike is a proud Class A member of The Golf Course Superintendent Association of America and is currently working towards certification. Fike is also affiliated with Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association; Treasure Coast Golf Course Superintendents Association; and the USGA. Fike lives in Wellington with his wife Rebecca, their two boys, Grant and Trace, and their dog, Mayla. 6

FEATU R E
ON THE
By Dr. Ed Rubin
When Wycliffe received the Audubon International certification in environmental planning in August 2015, it was the beginning of a process to make our Club a wild life sanctuary. Wycliffe’s first undertaking was to create a popular stopover and destination for migrating birds from North and South America, while providing a world class golf and tennis facility in the heart of a beautiful nature preserve. Over 60 species of birds have been identified at the Club to date. Wycliffe has installed 24 bird nesting boxes throughout the two golf courses. The boxes were placed by ornithology expert Brian Beckner, Ed Rubin, and our Director of Agronomy, Andrew Fike and a dedicated group of volunteers. They were placed out of harm’s way from errant golf shots with wooded protection for three quarters of the box and clear front views for the birds to comfortably nest. There is not one task or procedure on the golf course and tennis courts in which consideration to the environment and ecosystem has not been measured.
You probably have seen many of the boxes in your travels around the property. There are elevated nesting boxes for Screech Owls; Red Headed Wood Peckers nesting in two boxes on the West Course. Plus, two boxes for Purple Martins, one at the end of the driving range and one at the point of land just opposite the sixth hole on the East course. That box had a full complement of 12 nests with at least 12 hatched fledglings. Next, flora will be planted near the nesting boxes that will supply nutrients and protection for the bird population. Be inspired by our efforts and flock to us when we institute our “birding” group that will tour the property so that you can further appreciate and enjoy these beautiful creatures.

Although Plymouth Rock is the historic settlement of the Mayflower pilgrims, South Floridians can still engage the spirit of the first Thanksgiving. Embrace the tropics and celebrate the bountiful meal outdoors. The balmy November climate allows autumnal revelers to be one with nature in the warmth and lush ambience of their backyards while indulging in sumptuous Thanksgiving favorites. In many scenarios, lawns and patios can accommodate larger gatherings of guests versus a traditional dining room. Much of the tropical foliage and flowers can be woven into the tablescape and decor as centerpieces, napkin rings and table top greenery. As commemorated in the first Thanksgiving event lasting three days, the meal is a harvest celebration of both land and sea. Root vegetables, grains and wild fowl (partridge, goose and duck) were the probable choices for the pilgrims. Just as Native Americans served indigenous foods to newly arrived Europeans for the first Thanksgiving, Floridians can still support the “serve local” philosophy by serving South Florida specialties from the surf and earth. It is a unique and delicious addition to the traditional menu. Bounty from the sea includes small plates of chilled gulf shrimp, oysters, stone crabs and healthy options of grilled fish with a mango salsa and/or lemon crusted cod. The feast is completed with a cornucopia of scrumptious turkey day specialties including stuffing, cranberry and orange chutney, butternut squash, plus super foods of wilted spinach, leafy green salads, haricot vert, baby vegetables and sweet potatoes. For a savory twist, try rosemary scones tucked into a warm basket of rolls and breads. Seasonal plums, apples, berries and nuts are a nod to the first gathering, add tropical fruits and Key Lime desserts. Grace the sweets table with classic apple, pecan and pumpkin pies and freshly whipped cream--small portions are best. Enjoy!
Tropical fruits and other veggies can be spray painted in gold and bronze for a seasonal glimmer and luxe texture. Add metallic tea lights for added sparkle. Pumpkins and pineapples look posh and pretty when dipped in gilt!

Best Wines to Pair with Holiday Faves
Planning what wines to serve at your holiday celebrations or Thanksgiving dinners can be overwhelming. Holiday foods tend to be rich and fullflavored, so here are a couple surefire choices: BEAUJOLAIS: This light-bodied red wine is easy to drink; even white wine lovers enjoy it. It has a fruity aroma and pairs perfectly with holiday turkey or pasta dishes. It also works well on a buffet that includes a variety of foods. BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU: This fresh batch of seven- to nine-week-old wine that’s released every third Thursday of November. (Beaujolais being a French product, the French government controls this date.) Many fans eagerly await this day, because these young wines are at their peak when released. Pop over to the store around Thanksgiving and pick up a few bottles to serve over the holidays. SAUVIGNON BLANC: This dry white wine is best suited to the holiday’s fullflavored dishes. It is produced all over the world, usually has a light to medium body, and can be quite acidic. It’s a good basic white to offer throughout the season. CHAMPAGNE: What’s more festive than bubbles? A light, sparkling and effervescent flute makes a splash at any cocktail party or festive fête. Cheers to celebrating everything!

TIP •••
REALISTIC SHORT GAME PRACTICE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS ADDRESSED WITH NEW STUDENTS IS HOW THEY PRACTICE. More often than not, a fundamental change is necessary. The “practice the way you play” philosophy is introduced. What this means is that players simulate the same conditions faced on the golf course as much as possible. Experience indicates this is the most effective way to transfer execution from the practice area to the course. One great short game drill is to take 15 balls Paul Rifenberg and drop them around the practice green from different lies and positions. For each shot, go through your routine just as you would on the golf course and imagine you are playing in a competition or a weekly game with your group. Continue to play each shot from where the ball comes to rest, go through your pre-putt routine, just as you would on the course or in a competition and try to hole the putt. When you’ve made the up and down, move onto the next ball until you’ve holed all 15. This drill might take 25-30 minutes to perform, but it makes practice much more meaningful than standing in one location repeating the same lie and shot over and over. Remember there are no mulligans on the course. Therefore, GOLF HOURS practicing with only one attempt at a shot is a great Golf Pro Shop way to prepare yourself for executing more often Monday - Sunday on the course. 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Benefits of this method are:

•Practice your routine – getting your process more consistent no matter what the shot or situation •Work on your visualization and imagination •Simulate in round pressure while you practice •Makes practice fun, playing from different lies and trying different shots •Gives every shot a purpose, instead of being just another practice ball

KEYS TO PROPER FOOT WORK In tennis, footwork is crucial. In order to cover the court the ready position is the first part. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart with knees slightly bent, and standing on the balls of your feet. From this stance it’s easy to move in all four directions. The next key move in tennis movement is the split step. It’s a slight jump that lands on the balls of your feet just as your opponents strike the ball.

AS A TENNIS PLAYER, you probably realize pickleball is growing in popularity. One big question is WHY? Baby-boomers (age 50 and up) are driving the pickleball market. They are taking up pickleball because injuries and joint pain have driven them out of the fitness gym and away from tennis and this age group wants to stay active. Masters Tennis and pickleball are perfect for these members.
Wycliffe is leading the charge amongst their competitors and realizing the long term benefits. Over the past few years, Wycliffe has added Bocce, Masters Tennis and now pickleball. Pickleball has quickly become another fun, lifestyle activity and members are enjoying all of these new activities throughout the year. Plus, it is an added feature for prospective buyers when considering Wycliffe. A key element of our Wycliffe success is listening to what people want and then delivering it. Serve it up!

‘Tis the
Season! Treat yourself to a spa indulgence made from scratch! Pumpkins are traditionally used for autumnal decorations or baked into delicious pies at Thanksgiving.
And, you’re already hooked on pumpkin spice lattes, so “fall” in love with Wycliffe’s seasonal, Pumpkin Facial. Pumpkin has lots of Vitamin A and due to its exfoliating and enzymatic natural properties that help nourish and brighten the complexion, we’ve decided to incorporate it into a revitalizing facial – almost good enough to eat! The facial begins with our signature tranquility welcome, followed by a gentle cleansing of the face, neck and décolleté. Warm towels steeped in a nectar soak will remove any residue and prepare the skin for impurity removal. A gentle face polish with jojoba beads lifts dead skin cells away, before a dollop of an organic, pumpkin mask blended with yogurt and rich mud is applied to the skin. A silky-soft blood orange cream will leave you feeling not too sweet and not too spicy – just perfectly plumped! To continue the experience in your very own spa space, a pumpkin mask homecare product is complimentary. DELISH!

Don’t be Fancy, Just get Dancey!
AH, WE LOVE THE JOYS, SWEETS AND SAVORIES OF THE HOLIDAYS, however, this is also a challenging time to stay
fit and stave off weight gain while indulging in the yumminess of the season! We have discovered ways to enjoy the sugar plums dancing in your head and not on your hips! So, eat, drink and be merry and enjoy much-loved holiday treats while balancing the cravings and calories. •Take a brisk walk after Thanksgiving dinner to make room for dessert. A one hour walk will burn around 280 calories (walking at the average pace of three mph) which equates to approximately four ounces of Camembert cheese. Playing with your dog or running around with the grandkids will burn even more calories. •Cook off those calories! 30 minutes spent preparing a meal will burn approximately 70 calories, plus the going back and forth to set the table will add more calories burned. The actual act of eating accounts for around 50 calories, and then you will burn about 40 calories for every 15 minutes of scrubbing, drying and putting dishes away. •Shop ‘til you drop! Shopping for eight nights of Hanukkah gifts is busy and bustling, lugging heavy shopping bags and gifts around the mall will burn over 100 calories. •Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel! Spinning the dreidel fun and games for a rousing 60 minutes will burn about 75 calories. •Decking the halls for the holidays is a sure fire way to burn those calories! Crawling into the attic and carrying heavy boxes full of baubles for one hour can burn around 350 calories; the equivalent to burning off pumpkin pie. •Cleaning up after all those parties or tidying before your guests arrive are intense calorie burners. Dusting for 30 minutes burns around 80 calories; mopping for 15 minutes burns around 70 calories and vacuuming for 30 minutes is approximately 120 calories, which equates to a six ounce glass of red wine.

Quick Tech Tips
BY DR. STEVE TERAN
Barbara & Mitch Blanck in Denali National Park, Alaska
REBOOT!
When your computer or “smart” devices like ipad, iPhone, Comcast modem, laptop, etc. aren’t acting so intelligently, give it the boot – the reboot! Take a minute to power down the device and turn it back on, this fixes most of the issues. Try this the next time and you will be very surprised how well this works out.
BATTERY SAVER TIP: Charlie & Devon Blaisdell, Mark, Laura, Ava & Jack Hanson at Wahlburgers Orlando
To extend the battery life on your device, cut BRIGHTNESS down to half (½) and your device will last 25-30% longer. You can find this feature under SETTINGS and then DISPLAY and BRIGHTNESS. As always if you have questions, write me at Docsteve@mac.com.
