GOLF A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF Sean McGaughey, PGA Director of Golf July was a great month! Not only did we get to celebrate our country’s independence, but we also got to experience all the great things that The Clubs by JOE has to offer. Watching the fireworks at the beach was amazing and I hope you all were able to experience and celebrate this wonderful time of year with family and loved ones. To kick off last month, we had our annual balloon sale at Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth Golf Shops. It was a shop till you drop atmosphere and we appreciate and thank you for being a part of it. If you haven’t had a chance to see all of the new lines we have in the shops, please stop by and let us help outfit you for the remaining summer months. Being a golf professional, it is always wonderful to see knew players pick up the game. And thanks to our Junior Golf Camp we were able to see just that! Led by Assistant Golf Professional Jacob Hill we had 13 juniors participate in last month’s camp. Jacob was able to take the juniors through a variety of golf mechanics to help them understand the game. The campers ended the week with a nice lunch and received certificates for graduation. Thank you to all the parents who allowed us to help educate your children on this wonderful game we call golf! We added in a Couples Nine & Dine in July and had phenomenal participation yet again. As I told the participants at the dinner, I can honestly say I’m proud to see such comradery at the Clubs! A big congratulations to the Corbins and Hendersons for coming in first place in the event. The team shot an amazing 21.2, which barely snuck by the Michaliks and Brekelmans. Great playing everyone and thank you for participating. As an added reminder we will be doing some necessary maintenance on the greens in this month. This process will take place over the weeks of the 6th through 9th at Shark’s Tooth and the 20th through 24th at Camp Creek. During that time the corresponding Club will be closed, but you will have access at the other facility. As always I look forward to seeing you at the Clubs and hope that you and your families are having a wonderful summer.

CHEF’S CORNER FRENCH TIAN PROVENCAL Ingredients: • 1 bunch of fresh basil • 3 plum tomatoes • 1 summer squash • 1 zucchini • 2 sheets of puff pastry, frozen • sea salt & freshly ground pepper • 4 oz. creme fraiche • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or spray with cooking spray. 2. Roll out puff pastry sheets until the lines have disappeared, one per baking sheet. 3. In a small bowl combine Creme Fraiche and 1 tablespoon chopped herbs. Spread 1/4 cup of mixture on each pastry. 4. Begin and end with a layer of tomatoes slices. In between, alternate layers of zucchini, summer squash, and tomato slices. Repeat until each puff pastry is full.
Q&A WITH CHEF TIM Timothy Doucet, Chef de Cuisine WaterSound Beach Club When did you know you wanted to be a chef? I would have to say 10th grade in high school is really when I started to get infatuated with cooking. There was a Gourmet Foods class that was quite challenging, thrilling, and exciting all rolled into one event. When the class was over, I missed that feeling so I starting to research that career field closer towards graduation. What is your favorite food memory? Anytime I have a meal that exceeds my expectations. When the food is so good that nothing else matters. I constantly pursue opportunities in life when I can stop and say “This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life!” Who in the food world do you most admire? Open-minded customers. People who are adventurous, willing to try new things, and understand the amount of work that goes into a dish. These are the people who are the most appreciative and usually provide the most helpful feedback. They also challenge a chef to become more than what he is and are devoted followers to the evolution of his cuisine. Who would you most like to cook for? My late grandmother. I was still learning to cook when she passed and since she had cooked so many great meals for me as a child, I would love to cook her one great meal as a thank you.
5. Season liberally with coarse sea salt and pepper.
Favorite food to cook with? I like cooking with any ingredients I’m not familiar with. I’ll always take random trips to hole-in-the-wall international markets to find odd ingredients and try to find a flavor profile for them.
6. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and nicely puffed around the edges.
Most challenging ingredient to work with? Mostly anything to do with baking from scratch. Baking is a time and temperature sensitive process so getting either one of those off balance can absolutely ruin a dessert.
7. Garnish with remaining chopped herbs and an additional sprinkling of sea salt and pepper.
Favorite cookbook? My favorite cookbook is not quite a cookbook at all. The Flavor Bible by Karen Page is the essentials guide to culinary creativity. It’s a book that helps you create your own cookbook and has helped me create outstanding dishes for the past decade. Favorite city for food – national & international? New York City is the best hands down. It has been said that you could live a lifetime in that city and never experience everything it has to offer. It’s currently estimated that there are 24,000 restaurants in Manhattan alone. And that’s not counting the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island.
