the Club has been one of the most exciting yet! As the Club’s management team and entire staff strive to improve your experiences every time you join us, we are overjoyed by the recent feedback from Members and guests. Following both the Member-Guest golf tournaments we heard comments such as: “I didn’t think you could top last year’s tournament, but this year’s event was amazing - I had the best time!” and “The service at Coral Ridge is top notch, I felt like a Member throughout my entire visit” and, last but not least,“The course is in exceptional condition, especially the greens. The best I’ve played in a long, long while.” We thank everyone for their participation and support of the Club throughout this busy season and, as we continue to ‘spring forward’, we look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Mother’s Day celebration, Women’s Tennis Member-Guest, MGA events, and the “Paint the Town Red” End of Season event! Kick off the summer with your kids at the School's Out Pool Party and Complimentary

Summer Camp Experience. Be sure to keep your children busy over the summer months by signing them up for one of our many camp offerings! Pick up your camp brochure at the Club or download it from the website and be sure to sign up early due to popular demand. The summer season at the Club is always a time of improvements and preparations, so please let us know if there is something you would like to see at CRCC. We are able to better serve you when you let us know how we can improve. We look forward to hearing your suggestions! S AV E

Warming Up Performing drills before you play can improve your game

Dolph Roder Director of Instruction

Warming up before a round is different than practicing. Your preround focus should be on rhythm and target orientation, not swing mechanics. Once you have worked your way through the shorter clubs, hit some balls at various speeds using your driver. First, make a full swing at half speed, trying to hit the ball about 100 yards. Then, step it up to 150 yards, 200, then maximum distance, always making a full swing motion. Performing this drill several times ingrains a feel for the club-head and for

the speed of your swing. As for target awareness, be sure to pick not only a directional target, but a distance target as well. Pick a new target every five swings or so because when you are on the course your target changes with every shot. To finish your warm-up, hit half wedges to a precise target.

C LU B EV E N T R E S E RVAT I O N P O L I C Y 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.
