F E AT U R E

Underhand Toss

to help your Chipping and Pitching

As a child you were taught to underhand toss a ball to someone.

You would simply look at the person and let the ball go. There were no thoughts about technique. This movement or toss after a while became natural. Use this approach to help your chipping and pitching.

3 Step Process to use on the practice range 1) underhand toss some golf balls varying the distances. Notice how relaxed and freely your arms swing to finish. The bigger the toss the further the ball goes.

2) grip the club with your right hand only and then underhand toss the club to a target, as if you are underhand tossing a ball

[ RIGHT HAND UNDERHAND TOSS ]

3) grip the club with both hands with your normal grip. Underhand toss the club to the target and finish facing the target Use your normal set up for chipping and pitching. Hit the shot feeling that you are underhand tossing the club to the target. You will notice that your arms will freely swing to finish and the results will be impressive.

After about 15 minutes, we headed over to the First Tee. When I stopped the cart, I looked at the Score Card on the steering wheel, and noticed that it had today’s date on it. I asked Josh about this and he said that every morning each player receives a new score card with all current yardage, exact hole locations, and all applicable information included for that particular day! That was a nice added feature! There were also healthy snacks, apples and water available for the players.

As we played, each hole presented new challenges giving the feeling that every hole was different, rather than feeling very similar. The putting surface of each green was stunning, seemingly void of imperfections. The ball rolled true and the greens were fast! After I finished a hole, I would look up to observe the absolutely beautiful surroundings and natural preserve, trying and take it all in and prolong my experience. I felt like I was in a bubble of golf Utopia!

As we were approaching the 18th green, I was feeling very happy about the day, but disappointed that it was ending. The 18th hole is a beautiful par 5 with a winding fairway leading up to a green protected by a lake. Justin was a great caddie and was extremely helpful!

After we finished 18 holes I met with Betty Ayala who is the Assistant Membership Director for a tour of the clubhouse. We re-visited the golf-shop and then made our way upstairs to see the 10 hotel rooms inside the clubhouse. Each room was fantastic and beautifully appointed. They all seemed like luxury suites and were all named after famous golfers.

Many had balconies with panoramic views! This was truly an amazing place! After waving goodbye, getting in my car, and pulling out of the club, I took a deep breath, and realized that I just played one of the best courses in the United States!

MARKETREPORT A Service from the Naples Area Board of Realtors ®

HEALTHY MARKET TRENDS CONTINUE YEAR-OVER-YEAR GROWTH IN OVERALL MEDIAN CLOSED PRICES Naples, Fla. (March 20, 2015) – An increase in the number of home sales in the over $300,000 price categories, overall rising median closed prices, and an increase in inventory in most price segments were just some of the trends included in NABOR’s February 2015 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). But the best news? These trends are expected to continue.

“We saw year-over-year growth in our overall median closed prices throughout 2014; and with February getting off to a similar start, we expect that trend will continue,” Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty and NABOR®’s 2015 President Mike Hughes said. “Our inventory remains low yet we ended February with 1,280 sales pending. This indicates a healthy market.”

According to Kathy Zorn, broker/owner of Florida Home Realty, “February’s activity revealed that sellers may not be sitting on the fence anymore. It’s been 10 years of recovery and many homeowners who’ve weathered it may be at a place where they feel satisfied their property’s value has recovered.”

While overall closed sales activity for single-family homes remained even in February 2015 compared to a year ago, its inventory grew by 6 percent from 2,305 homes in February 2014 to 2,449 homes in February 2015. “I don’t think the increase in inventory is necessarily all due to bracket creep,” said Zorn. “Homeowners keep an eye on their property values. When they presume their home has rebuilt equity, many will contact a REALTOR® to confirm the increase in value. If the equity is confirmed, they’re likely to put their home on the market.”

Wes Kunkle, a commercial broker at Kunkle Realty, said the resale market’s recovery will likely affect new home construction prices. “The report shows a trend of increased inventory in single-family homes that I believe will begin to put pressure on new home construction prices. We may see a pricing peak in the new home market sooner than later.”

However, as indicated in the February report, the condominium market is not performing as well as the singlefamily home market. Closed sales for condominiums decreased 17 percent from 395 in February 2014 to 329 in February 2015. As expected, this decrease may be a result of a 16 percent decrease in condominium inventory, which fell from 2,328 units in February 2014 to 1,957 units in February 2015.

“Condos are not recovering as well as single-family homes because they are at the whim of certain financing obstacles,” said Cindy Carroll, SRA, with the real estate appraisal and consultancy firm Carroll & Carroll, Inc. “Getting a bank to approve a loan on a condo is more difficult because they typically rely on extenuating factors such as the financial health of the homeowners’ association, the age and structural state of the building, and a requirement to receive Fannie Mae approval.”

Despite these obstacles, broker analysts think the condominium market’s activity in the last year is an indication of its potential for an increase in value. For example, pending sales for condominiums in the $300,000 - $500,000 price category increased 87 percent from 79 units in February 2014 to 148 units in February 2015 and overall, the median closed price jumped 14 percent during that time period. “We’ve seen a recovery and stellar activity in the single-family home market. It wouldn’t surprise me if condominiums became the new exchange,” said Carroll. “And may experience the same type of recovery as the single family home market.”

The NABOR® February 2015 Market Report provides comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the Southwest Florida MLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The NABOR® February 2015 sales statistics are presented in chart format, including these overall (single-family and condominium) findings: • Overall pending sales increased 3 percent from 1,244 in February 2014 to 1,280 in February 2015.

• Overall closed sales decreased 1 percent from 9,808 in the 12-months ending February 2014 to 9,720 in the 12-months ending February 2015.

• Closed sales for single-family homes decreased 1 percent from 4,682 homes in February 2014 to 4,612 homes in February 2015.

• Closed sales for condominiums decreased less than a percent from 5,126 condominiums in February 2014 to 5,108 in February 2015.

• Overall median closed price increased 12 percent from $245,000 in the 12-months ending February 2014 to $275,000 in the 12-months ending February 2015.

• Inventory for condominiums decreased 16 percent from 2,328 in February 2014 to 1,957 in February 2015.

• Average days on market for February 2015 were 93.

Cheese Ricotta Manicotti R E C I P E P R E SE NTED BY

GIANLUCA CORSO COSMOS RISTORANTE AND PIZZERIA Step 1: Select flat pasta - the pasta should be fresh flat pasta, or Barilla Sheet Pasta In a small baking pan, put 2 to 4 pieces of flat pasta side by side, ready for ingredients to go in the middle of each flat pasta piece The suggested size of each pasta piece should be 6” wide x 10” long Step 2: In a separate sauce pan, blend/mix together the following ingredients: Fresh Ricotta Cheese, 2 boxes Pinch of Salt 2 eggs 1 hand full of Pecorino Romano Cheese Mix all ingredients together very well Step 3: Crack an egg into a separate bowl and beat the egg until the yoke and egg white is blended together. Take a brush, dip into the beaten egg, and brush along one side of the flat pasta along the 10” side. This is to hold the pasta together when rolled, like the glue.

Step 4: Now, other ingredients can be added to the ingredients blended together in Step 3. You can add eggplant, chicken, ground beef, etc.

Step 5: Add the blended mixture in Step 2 to the middle of each flat pasta piece in the baking pan Roll the flat pasta over the ingredients in the middle, then roll the other side over the top of the side just rolled, forming a cylindrical shape Do this again to each piece of flat pasta until there are 2 to 4 rolled pieces in the baking pan Step 6: Add Pasta Sauce over the top of the rolled pieces in the baking pan Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes Remove, add fresh Mozzarella Cheese, add Basil Leaves Ready to serve

PLANNING FOR A BABY ideas for nurseries

by: Mary-Meghan Fisher / contributing editor: Samantha Duffy

In celebration of the Royal baby, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, and in honor of the birth of my nephew last week, I wanted to discuss creative and versatile ideas for making a space nurturing and serene.

While expecting, the tendency to pick up a paint brush and begin a project that normally would take a team to do is a part of the nesting process. By attempting to keep your colors neutral and in a muted color palette, you create a gender neutral atmosphere, but oftentimes the urge to create something dramatic creeps in, by playing with varying shades in a color profile, and introducing softer shades of the same hue, you are able to layer texture and allow a color foundation for your new little one’s sanctuary. You can blend beiges, grays and whites with pops of gender specific colors (yellows, pinks, light blues) incorporated with bedding, picture frames, lighting and furnishings. This also allows for you to start creating the baby space before knowing the gender of your new addition. Here are some helpful tips in how to create the perfect nursery for your child...

Creating Functionality Including elements that will grow with the child or allow easy accessibility as a new parent in a nursery allows the furniture

While buying furniture, keep in mind that in a blink of an eye, your little one won’t be little for long. By finding pieces that will grow with them, you create the ability to sus-

to work with you and not against you,

can transition into a twin or full size bed makes buying a crib not just a short term investment. Using a dresser as a changing table and using bookcases with baskets to stay organized are also ways to make baby furniture multi-functional and kid friendly.

Interior DESIGN

Lighting Lighting is a key element in most design, especially in the case of a baby’s nursery since their needs are greater than a simple on and off switch. Changing your light switches to dimmer switches will help you with the transitioning of having a new baby. Sleepy parents and babies will need soothing lighting for them to adjust to the new schedule.

Having a dimmer installed will allow parents and baby to use low lighting for naps, feedings and story time and brighter lighting for morning playtime and diaper changing. Table lamps are another tool to utilize when decorating

a nursery, they are a way to personalize a space and add a way to layer lighting in non-obtrusive way.

Wallpaper

Photo courtesy of Schumacher- Grasscloth wallcovering- feather bloom-color dove

Adding wallpaper to a baby nursery can make a nursery feel more sophisticated and stylish. Incorporating a print or adding a grasscloth can make a nursery feel more finished and creates texture or movement depending on the design or style you choose. When creating a themed space, be careful by adding a border or mural, because these elements can be outgrown, but by adding sophisticated splashes of color and modern silhouettes the child’s space can easily transition into toddler-hood. You can add a traditional print such as a toile that would create warmth or a whimsical bold pattern that creates visual interest and is a look that is appropriate for children into their older years. When sticking to a theme, any visual graphics that can be kept to a removable canvas or picture frame also allows for rooms to develop as children’s personalities become more defined.

When decorating a nursery, many items can be repurposed from your original furniture, and if properly repaired any piece of furniture can be your inspiration for the room, for example, antique rocking chair or as a local option, Mega Kids in downtown Naples. They have furniture, bedding, lamps, art and so many more distinctive and fun pieces to create a space completely unique for your child. When creating a baby nursery it is best to keep in mind a warm color palette that will not be garish to your new born and to not just follow trends, you should think of how your baby will grow and change with the space.
