Sincerely,
Now that the 2013 Member Survey is complete, I would like to take this opportunity to update the members on the results. The members who took the survey represent a good cross-section of the membership between residents and nonresidents in that 48.4 % live here 6-12 months of the year and 51.6% fewer than 6 months per year. Likewise, the split between golf members and beach club members is 53.9% versus 46.1%. The split between condo owners, homeowners and lot owners was 56.7%, 42.5% and 18.6% respectively.
I would like to apologize for the brief delay in reviewing these results with the membership, due to an error in the original computation of the 2013 ratings. We have corrected this error and would therefore like to review the results at this time. Copies of the survey results are available on-line on the member website or in hard copy at the Membership Office. The results are encouraging in that there are no significant changes in ratings from 2012 versus 2013. That is not to say that there were not areas that indicated a need for improvement. Overall Club Experience Ratings showed improvement in every category. Food and Beverage Quality Ratings were up in all categories except the Atlantic Grille and Lobby Bar. Food and Beverage Service Ratings also showed some slight declines in Delfinos Restaurant, Atlantic Grille, the Lobby Bar and the Fantasy Pool Bar and CafÊ. Value received for price paid ratings for Food and Beverage were up in all categories except the Atlantic Grille and Lobby Bar. It should be noted that both the Atlantic Grille and the Lobby Bar was down in every category. Recreation Ratings for quality of activities, services and products were up in all categories, with the marina showing the most improvement. Recreation service ratings were up across the board with significant improvements in Tennis, Children’s events and marina activities. Club Communication Ratings stayed consistent this year vs. last. Golf Ratings reflected the greatest dissatisfaction among members with decreases in virtually every category. The greatest drop in rating was in the maintenance, quality and condition of the Ocean Course. It should be of considerable concern that these ratings have steadily declined for the last 3 years. The ratings for the Conservatory although better than the Ocean Course, have bounced up and down for the last 5 years. It appears that most of the concerns relating to golf are centered on the investment in the golf courses themselves and not on the personnel. Please note in this newsletter the acknowledgement of staff specifically identified in the survey for a job well done. Although the club ratings were positive, it is apparent from the detailed comments given by many of the members that there are several areas of general concern:
ADVISORY BOARD OF G O V E R N O R S U P D AT E
beach livin g | 4
BY BOB BUONAIUTO | PRESIDENT
1. Members are not happy with the current conditions of both golf courses, which are clearly perceived as the jewels of this Club. There is optimism due to current investments which have begun but longer term concern about the future follow through of such investment. Ocean Course conditions need to improve: i.e. sand traps, vines, lake maintenance, and general appearance. Restrooms and Halfway House need refurbishment. Golf carts continue to be an issue. Need better monitoring of pace of play. Concerns exist about member tee time availability during busy times of the year. Conservatory concerns include: greens need refurbishment (to be addressed in June) and general course conditions need improvement. Landscaping of grounds is not acceptable. Inadequate staff levels. F&B service lacking. 2. There is an overwhelming concern about the general lack of maintenance and upkeep of the Club. To put it simply, the club is showing signs of becoming worn and tired. Increased maintenance is needed at pools, locker rooms and fitness center, golf courses and bathrooms, common areas and the lodge. Restaurants need facelift and improved cleaning procedures (i.e. continual dust and cobwebs on chandeliers) 3. There is a sense of overall decline in service provided to the members. Service is inconsistent. This can be partially explained by the higher than normal turnover in personnel which is perceived by some members as a reflection on the management of the club since Salamander has taken over. Inadequate staffing is a continual problem in a number of the outlets. Fitness class growth has not kept pace with increased volume at the Club. Pool decks are overcrowded at various times of the year with inadequate essentials such as towels and chairs. 4. There is a general sense of frustration on the part of members that rules and procedures are not being consistently applied as would be expected in a so called “four star resort and club� (such as dress codes in restaurants and conduct at pools). There continues to be a perceived imbalance in treatment of resort guests versus members.
5. Services provided to members, such as Concierge Service by the Membership staff and Ambassador Program needs to be better explained to the members. 6. Confusion regarding the Club tipping policy exists with some members and needs some further clarification. Many of the issues raised in the survey are perennial issues and have become a main theme in every survey. These issues have not been adequately addressed in the past, and as such have raised frustration levels here at the club. Consequently, the ABOG and the Member Relations Committee have decided to make this a priority this year. In the next few weeks we will be generating a specific list of items to be addressed (agreed to by management and committee members), and we will update the members at each Member Manager Reception what has been accomplished. We will generate a specific action list so progress can be monitored. We will discuss how to best accomplish these goals at our next ABOG meeting and will continually monitor throughout the year. Please feel free to communicate any of your concerns or issues to any of the ABOG members. One other announcement I would like to make, although not to be considered as a Club sponsored or endorsed event, is a project adopted by the Ocean Hammock Property Owners Association. This year they have decided as part of their community outreach program to support a local charity, The Flagler County Food Resource Center in Bunnell. There are 3 things the Center needs: people to man the Center in September; food donations; and to raise money for restocking the Center with food when levels are low. If anyone is interested in volunteering or donating, my wife Denise Buonaiuto is this year’s Committee Chairperson along with Muffy Runnells as Co-Chair. Either of them would be happy to provide you with further details.

TEE DRILL TO CURE THE SHANKS BY BRAD HAUER, DIRECTOR OF GOLF
Every golfer has experienced the dreaded shanks at one point in their golfing career. If you get them, it can be very discouraging and will destroy your confidence. Shanking the golf ball is a result of hitting the ball off the hosel of the golf club and will cause the ball to go sharply to the right. This can be a result of flaws in your set up, backswing, or downswing positions. One drill that I have had success with over the years is the “Tee Drill”. The “Tee Drill” is a very simple way to get yourself out of the shanks.
beach livin g | 10
To do this drill, place a tee just inside the ball. You will want to address the ball, but the key to this drill is that when you make your swing you will focus your attention to clip the tee out of the ground. I love this drill because it gives you instant results. If you happen to still shank the ball with the tee in the ground, check to see if you clipped the tee, odds are that you missed it. After 10 or so shots with the tee drill, you will regain your confidence and be ready to tackle the golf course again!!

How to get the most out of your Investment of Exercise to impact your waistline! b y Thor Holm, Director o f S p a , R e c re a t i o n & F i t n e s s Now if this was a tabloid magazine the headline would read “How to get rock hard abs in 6 days!” but since my goal is to actually facilitate you moving towards success, I will stick with mine. I am amazed at how often intelligent people get caught up with that kind of sensationalism. The fact is that reducing your waistline is about a three pronged attack. In no particular order, as they all play a role, comes addressing the excess storage of calories or fat. When you want to use fat as energy you will want to utilize the muscles that will demand the most energy which are all located in your lower body. Unfortunately we cannot “spot” reduce as some people would have you believe. So forget about crunching your way to a slimmer you, without the cardio you do not stand a chance. Walking, running, elliptical, swimming, biking, cardio classes you choose, all of them can aid in your goal of reducing your waistline. If you are in a routine where three days a week you are doing ½ hour of cardio and you are not making progress toward your goal something has to give. You either have to increase the frequency, intensity or the duration of aerobic workout with the caveat that we are going to also address your intake of calories. Now how efficiently you utilize energy is dependent on your body composition and your aerobic capacity. If you recall watching Michael Phelps in the Olympics and ever caught the segment on how much he eats (like 12,000 calories a day), here is a perfect example of how low body fat+ aerobic capacity equals an engine that burns a lot of calories. So in your aerobic routine you need to try to push your aerobic capacity higher in addition to those workouts that are lower intensity and longer duration to use calories.
beach livin g | 14
Second prong of the attack is related to reducing your caloric intake. It stands to reason if given the same level of expenditure you simply reduce intake you should make inroads towards your goal. Let’s put it this way, if you are faced with having to spend half your waking hours on a treadmill so that you can eat whatever you want you are probably not going to opt for that lifestyle. So as you are going to the grocery store and pass by the bakery just know that every donut represents about 45 minutes on a treadmill. Making good decisions about the food you eat and in the proper amount is how you get results. There are 3500 calories in one pound of fat. If your goal is to reduce 20 pounds you need to utilize 70,000 calories and eat for a person weighing 20 lbs lighter than you are when you start. The third prong is related to the muscles in your core and how they respond to exercise. These muscles function to facilitate movement in our midline, for support and protection of our vital organs and to lend stability to our spine. They are highly oxygenated and respond to higher repetition and lower resistance. Outside of professional athletes, competitive body builders and power lifters, I cannot imagine anyone who really needs to add a lot of weight to these movements and get the results they desire. These muscles will get bigger which essentially works contrary to your goal of reducing your waistline. Being highly oxygenated they recover quickly and will respond to higher frequency. So if all you do each week for abs is Walter’s Core Crazy abs you are missing the picture. That class can provide you with lots of ideas for homework. So let’s review, use big muscles for longer duration to burn calories. Take in fewer calories and the right calories and know what the cost is in work. Your core muscles respond to higher repetitions and greater frequency. Have fun!
