Dear Members, On behalf of our great staff, I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season and wish you a healthy and joyful new year. I would also like to thank you for recognizing the staff this past holiday season with your generous contributions to the Employee Holiday Fund. We are extremely fortunate to have a wonderful team of individuals committed to exceeding member’s expectations and your acknowledgement is greatly appreciated. Congratulations to Ana Collins who was selected as the La Gorce Country Club Employee of the Year. Ana has worked in our Accounting Department for over 3 years and recently volunteered to chair the Employee Relations Committee developed last December upon my arrival. Ana was presented the honor at this year’s annual Employee Holiday Party. Next time you are at the Club or speaking to that pleasant voice in accounting, please offer Ana your kudos on her achievement.

Even with the unseasonal warm temperatures and rain this past fall, the over-seeding of the greens, tees and practice facility has enabled us to maintain consistent turf quality for our members. We are excited about entering the golf course restoration project beginning March 21 and working with Mr. Nicklaus and his design team in returning La Gorce golfing conditions to pristine levels. During the shutdown, Director of Golf Ernie Ruiz has worked diligently lining up reciprocity with numerous area clubs as well as planning member trips to Streamsong, Bandon Dunes and other high end golfing resorts. I would also like to remind everyone that the Clubhouse, Fitness, Tennis and Aquatic operations will continue to offer great opportunities for you to utilize the Club.

2 016 Re novat ion Rec iproc a l s With the approaching closing of the course on March 20th we wanted to share the current reciprocal list with you. Details on rates and reservation availability for reciprocals will be sent out to the Membership in the next several weeks. As a reminder all tee times will have to be made through the La Gorce Golf Professional Shop. Dade County Broward County Riviera Country Club Weston Hills Country Club Fisher Island Golf Links Ft. Lauderdale Country Club Trump National Doral Grande Oaks Country Club Ocean Reef Club The Club at Emerald Hills Turnberry Coral Ridge Golf Club Parkland Country Club The Golf Shop will be happy to call any club you wish to play and make arrangements if available. Along with our reciprocal club program the Golf Shop will host weekly Member Play Away Days at local clubs. These will be organized days with a La Gorce Professional on hand to organize and play with the groups. We have plans for three, Member Away Trips this year one to Streamsong Resort, one to Bandon Dunes and an International Trip to be announced soon. When playing away courses Members are still required to post scores. You may do so by using the GHIN app on your smartphone or by emailing/texting your scores to the Golf Shop. We look forward to seeing you at the Club soon. The La Gorce Golf Department 6 • la gorce country club • January - March 2016
Instruction Corner With all of these events Jarryd Wood our Head Teaching Professional has some great advice for you in this newsletter. In my experience as a teacher, every student comes to me wanting more distance. As an instructor, I am a fan of straight, and I want to share a few keys on how to hit more fairways. 1. Tee the ball up lower. This will keep the ball flight down and hit slightly lower on the face. A lower ball flight has less of a chance of going off line. 2. Grip down on the club. Gripping down on the club will give you more control and help shorten your backswing. A result will be keeping the ball flight down. 3. Narrow your stance. In narrowing your stance you also shorten your swing and keep more control of the club. Distance is not everything. Try using these tips to help hit more fairways and have an easier time going for the small greens here at La Gorce. Jarryd Wood PGA Certified Professional Head Teaching Professional
Sprucing up! I hope that you have enjoyed a joyous holiday season. 2016 promises to
be a true turning point for the golf course as we look forward to March and the comprehensive restoration that will be implemented on the golf course this year. As your golf course superintendent I am both very confident in the team of contractors we have selected and the professional abilities of Mr. Nicklaus’ staff to produce a classic golf course that you will enjoy for many years to come.
However, this endeavor is still a couple of months away and our focus and mission will continue to be providing the best playing conditions and turf quality right up to the restoration start date. The department will not reduce any maintenance practices or try to conserve budgeted resources for the remaining months leading up to the course closure. It is our departmental goal to make every member event the best in La Gorce’s rich history and provide great daily playing conditions for your enjoyment. I hope that 2016 provides you with both great health and happiness. Play well, Jim Brown Golf Course Superintendent

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch • 1/2 cup water • 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 48 small to medium oysters, such as Wellfleet or Beau Soleil, scrubbed
• 1 pound baby spinach, stemmed, washed, and chopped
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 1 pound fresh watercress, stemmed, washed, and chopped
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 6 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped

• Coarse salt
• 2 sprigs fresh tarragon, chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup Pernod

• 4 cloves garlic, finely grated
• 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped oil-packed anchovy fillets, in their oil

In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• Juice of 1 to 2 lemons
1.
In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
2.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
3.
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
4.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.

Directions
DIRECTIONS 1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2.
Place a strainer over a medium bowl; gently shuck the oysters over the strainer, using the strainer to catch the meat and strain the liquor into the bowl. Reserve the deeper halves of each oyster shell (discarding remaining shells) and scrub clean under cold running water; dry shells and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet; set aside.
3. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots; season with salt and cool
until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Add Pernod and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and anchovies and their oil; stir to combine. Season with salt. Add heavy cream and reserved oyster juices; let cook 1 minute. Stir in spinach, watercress, basil, and tarragon. Cook until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If mixture seems too thick, add a little water or heavy cream to thin.
4.
Place reserved oyster shells in oven and bake until warm, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, panko, and breadcrumbs until well combined; set aside.
5.
Spoon scant tablespoon spinach mixture into each of the shells and top each with a whole oyster. Top with a little more of the spinach mixture and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until oysters are warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
6.
Preheat broiler. Place oysters under broiler to brown. Garnish with scallions and season with lemon juice; serve immediately.

Santiago Pinzon Tennis Director
Country Club, and we look forward for a great year full of great serves, forehands, backhands, volleys, and overheads, as well as unlimited fun, and great camaraderie! I believe we have some of the best teaching tennis professionals here at La Gorce. Diego Zorzi provides loads of experience and knowledge from playing on a professional tour as well as his college tennis team. Rafael Alvarez is a young coach with extremely great playing skills. Rafael has worked at both the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne and in the Hamptons. Madeline Johnson is a very talented coach with a great personality; she always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude that is contagious. She has a great time working with the kids and it shows because they all love her! Juan Padilla is another all-around coach that has the patience and the skills to work with small kids to adults of all levels. Juan is available Friday to Sunday. Joe Szucs and Mihai Piroska are in the pro shop and are always ready to provide all the information about reservations, lesson, clinic bookings, and general information. Joe in addition is also the main racket stringer and equipment guru. Carlos Godefoy is the head of tennis maintenance; he keeps the courts in top shape.

Cranberry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Miguel Rayes, Aquatics Director
Ingredients • 2 1/4 cups almond flour • 1/4 cup stevia • 1/2 tsp baking soda • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/2 tsp psyllium husk powder • 1 large egg, lightly beaten • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract • 16 drops stevia extract • 1/4 cup unsweetened dried cranberries, chopped • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, stevia, baking soda, salt and psyllium husk powder. 3. Stir in egg, oil, vanilla and stevia until thoroughly combined.
Sun Screen Tip
4. Stir in cranberries, walnuts and chocolate chips.
Winter season is in full swing and it does not mean we do not need any sun screen. The sun and its rays’ strengths are at their peak during cloudy days; therefore we need to protect ourselves with plenty of sun screen. Swimmers and sun bathers should apply sun screen at least every hour while enjoying the outdoors. Water proof sun screen is a good choice when going for a swim but we still need to apply every hour. Salt water beaches, chlorinated pools and the sun combined together can harm our skin if sun screen is not being used.
5. Form by hand into 1-inch balls, and place on baking sheet. 6. Flatten with palm. 7. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until just starting to brown on top. 8. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
No Bake Brownie Bites Ingredients • 10 – 12 dates, seeded and chopped • 1/2 cup oats • 1/4 – 1/2 cup walnuts • 2 tbsp. milled flaxseed • 3 tbsp. cacao powder • 3/4 tbsp. vanilla extract • 1 – 2 tbsp. organic maple syrup Directions 1. Place all ingredients in a food processor. 2. Process until well combined. 3. Roll into 1 inch balls.
Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them wile lounging under the sun. Room temperature bottled water cools the body and quenches your thirst better than ice cold bottled water.
Swimming Lessons Do you have inexperienced children who love swimming but you always worry about their safety? Do not hesitate and let our Aquatics Director help them become strong swimmers. Survival swimming skills are also taught after they have reached an average level of confidence within the water. Private swimming lessons are available at your convenience. Please contact our Aquatics Director Miguel Reyes at 305-866-4541 (Direct Line) / Email: MReyes@lagorcecc.com
