The Club 

In The News 

Tony Orlando recently brought his show to 

Broken Sound and was met with multiple 

standing ovations and rave reviews from our 

members. One of our members, Dick Asher, 

was the lawyer who represented Tony when 

signing his first hit, “Halfway to Paradise”, to 

Epic Records. After the show, Tony joined the 

Ashers at their home. The cocktail piano in 

this picture,which has 66 keys, belonged to Al 

Nevins who was one of the original Three Suns. 

Al was a record producer and music publisher 

who produced that first Tony Orlando hit. Neil 

Sedaka, Carol King and many others played 

their tunes for Al on this piano. It was gifted to 

Dick Asher when Al Nevins passed away and 

it arrived at their home in New Jersey one 

Saturday afternoon on the back of a flatbed 

truck with Al Nevin’s brother Morty playing 

“Twilight Time”.

Carl Ramallo, Dining Reservations 

We would like to take 

a moment to recognize 

a person for the 

incredible job he 

performs which often 

goes unnoticed. 

Carl Ramallo, who 

takes your dining 

reservations, always 

rises to the challenges presented, regardless 

of the situation. He has proven himself to be a 

conscientious, hard worker possessing 

genuine dedication and talent. 

Carl always approaches each task with a smile 

on his face. His ability to multitask and his “can 

do” attitude makes him a valuable asset to 

Broken Sound Club. Members, as well as staff, 

do not realize the “juggling”, the numerous 

phone conversations and the time it takes to 

try to ensure everyone’s reservation is handled 

quickly and efficiently and for the time slot 

requested. 

Towards that end, we were notified that since 

the inception of the new club dining reservation 

program, Broken Sound is tied for first place in 

terms of the number of reservations taken. The 

Club we are tied with has three times the amount 

of Members that we do. 

Hats off to Carl and thank you for helping Broken 

Sound be the best.


SOCIAL & TENNIS 

MEMBERS 

PLAY UNLIMITED GOLF 

FOR THE SUMMER 

Social and Tennis members are welcome to play unlimited golf at the club 

course during June, July and August at a cost of $55.00 per tee off including 

cart fees. Members are welcome to bring guests during the summer months 

and reservations may be made two days prior to date of play. 

CYCLING SAFETY 

Your #1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. 

Don’t fall for the myth that wearing a helmet is 

the first and last word in biking safety. In truth, 

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 

cure. It’s better to not get hit. That’s what real 

bicycle safety is about. 

1. Get a headlight. 

If you’re riding at night, you should absolutely 

use a front headlight. It’s required by law, 

anyway. Get a rear light. If you’re riding at 

night, you absolutely should use a flashing red 

rear light. 60% of bike collisions in Florida are 

caused by cyclists riding at night without lights. 

2. Wear a reflective vest or a safety triangle. 

It may seem silly, but bikes are small and easy to 

see through even during the day. High quality 

reflective gear makes you a lot more visible even 

in the day time, not just at night. Yellow or 

orange reflective vests really make a big 

difference. Reflective leg bands are also easy and 

inexpensive. 

CARD ROOMS 

CELL PHONES 

As a courtesy to all members using the card 

rooms, please put your cell phone on silent 

or vibrate when playing cards. If you need 

to place a call or if you receive a call, please 

step outside the card room until completion 

of your call.

The mixed doubles format of playing the entire tournament over a Friday , Saturday and finals on 

Sunday was great. We had 25 teams participating which is the most the club has ever had entering 

this tournament and the results were so close with the pairing of teams in the appropriate divisions. 

Many of our residents came out to watch on Saturday and Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the 

competition and the comaraderie. 

This event cannot happen without the hard work and dedication of Broken Sound staff and the 

support from the entire tennis committee. 

The winners and finalists for each category are as follows;

Thank You Broken Sound 

Through your support and generosity the Charity 

Challenge raised over $60,000 for Play for P.I.N.K. 

and Arnie’s Army. 

Play for P.I.N.K. supports Breast Cancer Research 

and Arnie’s Army raises funds for Prostate Cancer 

Research. 

In the beginning of January, the Committee for A 

Charity Challenge kicked off the year by opening 

our Monopoly Game and Raffle. Members 

purchased Broken Sound properties as an 

opportunity to win fabulous raffle prizes including 

airline tickets. In addition to a raffle, Monopoly 

prizes were awarded to members who purchased 

the most property. 

CHARITY 

Challenge 

January 2010 

On January 20, our annual golf event was held on 

both golf courses. Breakfast and lunch were served 

and the winners were awarded prizes. 

The event culminated on Friday night, January 

21 st with dinner, dancing and live and silent 

auctions. 

Janet Luckhurst, chairperson of Charity Challenge 

thanked the Committee, the Broken Sound Club 

staff and introduced honored guests Phyllis and 

Howard David. Howard spoke briefly 

remembering friends in the community who lost 

their battles with Cancer. 

Making his entrance on an electric bike donated 

by Joan and Bob Bettinger, John Crean highlighted 

the evening by making his debut as our auctioneer, 

and what a job he did! 

…a special thanks to ALL who participated in 

making Broken Sound’s fundraiser such a success.

Club Course Maintenance 

Joe Hubbard, CGCS 

Our plans this summer are to get the sewer line 

hooked through to the bathroom on hole 5 

sometime around May as the permits dictate. 

We also will be installing drainage on holes #13 

and #16 where the heavy soil was laid that forces 

us to be on cart paths when we have a fair amount 

of rain. We will be growing the small putting 

green in at the starter shed and pushing several 

fairways to thicken (#2, #4, #8, #9) as they have 

gotten better each year. 

Club Course News 

Hello Golfers 

As another great golf season passes us, believe it or not we are preparing for 

the Men’s and Women’s leagues and Couples events for the 2010-2011 Season. 

People often ask during the Member-Guest events “how do you get all this to 

come together so professionally and organized?” I simply answer “preparation.” 

That is why at this time we are not only winding down from one great season but, 

preparing for another. 

Just a helpful reminder that all of the leagues sweeps earnings must be used by 

September 30 th 2010. So, if you are not returning until after this date your sweeps will not be 

available for use. Please come by the golf shop and you will find some great sales as well as some 

fresh items for summer. We have some great demo clubs and our equipment prices are more than 

competitive. 

Scott Feller, PGA Director of Golf 

Great Shots 

Congratulations to Beverly Swedko and 

Nicholas Carbo! They both aced the 12 th hole 

on the same day! They both aced the same 

hole with the same club! The both used a 4 

iron and lightening struck twice March 7 th on 

hole #12. 

Congratulations to Erwin S. Cohen who had a 

hole in one on hole #14 with a 7 hybrid on March 

31, 2010. The Golf Shop also received 

information that Gil Goldberg recently eagled 

holes 8 and 18. On hole #8 he hit a 3 wood in 

the hole from 189 yards and on #18 he jarred a 

6 iron from 160 out. 

Congratulations to all of you on your “GREAT 

SHOTS!!” 

SUMMER LEAGUES 

The Summer Leagues are now in full swing. 

All of the scheduled events are posted in the 

respected men’s and ladies locker rooms. You 

may also look at the standings that are posted 

in the same locations. I hope that you are all 

enjoying travelling and playing at different clubs. 

Thank you to the Member League 

Chairperson’s, who put these leagues together 

for all to enjoy. 

SUMMER RECIPROCAL PROGRAM 

If playing in league events is not your thing, or 

you work during the week, or if you like to 

venture out and golf at other courses, this is 

for you. The program typically runs early-mid 

May through the end of October in some cases. 

Most clubs do not charge much more than our 

cart rate so this is a great opportunity to be 

challenged by playing different course designs. 

The Golf Shop Staff will be your liaison to these 

clubs as contact is made Pro Shop to Pro Shop. 

Most tee times can be made two to three days 

in advance. The Golf Shop will have a pamphlet 

available to you that outlines all the summer 

golf programs and golf course maintenance 

schedules for your review. 

Revamping the practice green at the starter shed on the 

Club Course. Massive amounts of tree roots and stumps 

left over from Hurricane Frances killed the green as it would 

grow with methane gas releases.

Old Course Maintenance 


The only project we have going this summer, is 

the leveling of all the sprinkler heads around 

the golf course, especially around the greens. 

We will also be adding a new variation of 

Bermuda that is said to be the best turf to handle 

shade in the industry, called Tifgrand. We will 

be doing some sod work to the right of #6 green, 

down the right of #9 rough along the ficus/outof-bounds 

section and then #16 around the tee 

complexes. One of our primary goals is to work 

extremely hard to change out the soil texture of 

the fairways to increase the ability of our 

members to hit their fairway shots easier.

The summer days are finally 

here for us to enjoy the heat, 

humidity and longer sunny 

days. As you know in May we 

begin our aerification 

schedules to open up the soil 

to allow oxygen and water in 

and get any gases out that have 

built up due to heavy play and cold temperatures. 

The grasses begin to grow more prolifically and 

the greens slow down a bit from the quick 

growth throughout the day. With all that being 

said I am publishing the aerification and 

tournament schedule for both courses this 

summer so you can plan accordingly on return 

trips down or for those that are here year around.

It’s never a dull moment at Broken Sound. A 

fire broke out across the street in April, south, 

from the Old Course and was whipped into a 

raging inferno trying to jump Military Trail to 

the West. Fortunately, the fire department was 

able to contain the fire within the wooded 

preserve area only. Rumor had it Mr. Crean 

crashed his cart upon re-entry into the 

atmosphere. 

Broken Sound Members 

MILITARY FAMILY COUPON PROJECT 

After three years of waiting, the Purple Martins 

are beginning to show up and make nests in our 

Purple Martin houses around the course. They 

eat a prolific amount of flying insects everyday 

so they are excellent creatures to have around 

besides watching their incredible acrobatics in 

the air. Such is the way of Mother Nature. 

For Military Families who relocate overseas, the financial transition can be 

difficult. Enlisted soldiers and their families may find stretching their dollars a 

real challenge, even more so than those who are based in this country. One 

way we can help is by saving expired or unused coupons and sending them to 

select co-op operations around the country. What a treasure it is to know that 

our expired coupons can mean a real difference to the families who have 

dedicated and sacrificed a part of their lives for the sake of our country. 

Please Bring in any and all newspaper coupons and 

they will be sent to our soldiers

Food & Beverage 

Food For Thought 

Dear Members, 

With summer approaching, we stop to take a deep breath! Not because it has 

been such a whirlwind season – party after party, dinner after dinner, event 

after event, but because it was our most successful and productive year in the 

Food and Beverage 

Department. We are 

proud that we succeeded in breaking new 

frontiers – making better, bigger and bolder 

statements with events that will make Broken 

Sound history. 

Throughout the summer, rest assured that 

we will continue to keep up the hard work. 

Our Member Appreciation Prix Fixe menu will 

continue to be available on Tuesday nights. 

Please be sure to check the Summer Dining 

Schedule that will go into effect starting early 

May. It will be available at the Front Desk, 

Hostess Podium and Reservation Desk as 

well. Also note on your calendars the 

upcoming special events like Mother’s Day 

It’s all in the details! 

Brunch, Wine Pairing Dinner, Memorial Day 

Barbeque, etc. 

Last summer’s great success will also be making 

a return. Numerous Chef’s Table Dinners have 

been scheduled from June to October, where 

Executive Chef Joe Longo and Pastry Chef Kate 

Austin, will be delighting you with creative cuisine 

right off the kitchen stove, and onto your plates. 

Throughout the summer, the Pool Bar will be 

open every Monday and Thursday nights from 

4pm to 8pm for a light bite. 

To everyone who may be leaving for a short 

time – have a great summer! 

Best regards, 

Timothy J. Nelson 

Director of Food and Beverage 

Every happy celebration that observes life’s milestone events, involves two 

common elements. A Dance Floor and a Feast. Through dancing and enjoying 

tasty morsels, we rejoice in the company of our families and friends. Greek 

philosophers argued in 

ancient times, that 

dancing liberates the 

spirit. This stands true 

today. Twenty-first century entertainment is 

more and more focusing in on the art of 

movement. There are few people only, who 

when watching Dancing with the Stars, don’t 

move their feet on the ground or don’t wish 

they would be able to tango like the 

professionals. 

POOL BAR 

Open Every 

Monday and Thursday

light bite menu 

salads sandwiches wraps 

frozen drinks ice cream 

Life is a ballroom ... One must dance the waltz, 

a bit of quickstep, and then every once in a while 

lighten the pace up with a rumba and a cha cha! 

A steady partner is recommended, since they 

will know your every move. One must learn to 

know all the steps, otherwise you break the free 

flowing rhythm. Life is all about being able to 

switch rhythms, from fast-pace to relaxation. 

Summer is all about the latter! Relax, wear a hat 

and sunscreen and just enjoy the view!

FOUR RETURNS TO MASTER 

The most important return 

is the return cross court 

to the server. However, 

every skilled player 

should have just a few 

more tricks up his or her 

sleeve when competing. 

Here are four more returns you should add to 

your arsenal to keep your opponents guessing: 

1 The down-the-line backhand return to the 

opposing net player. 

2 The inside-out backhand return at server. 

3 Taking second serves, returning them to the 

server and following the ball to net. 

4 The chip or block return over the net player’s 

head, preferably over his/her backhand side. 

With focus on each of these techniques during 

practice, you can surely master each return 

to add to your repertoire. Not only will you 

take advantage of the element of surprise, you 

will prove to your opponent that you play both 

well and smart!

Grand Slam League / Senior League Tennis Results: 

Congratulations to Leon Tracy for winning the Championship in the Grand Slam League this year. 

Also both Larry Kobren and Warren Rabinowitz had their teams playing in the finals but lost in close 

games. I would also like to congratulate Leon Tracy and Fred Drozdoff for winning the regular 

season of Palm Beach County Senior League. Fred Drozdoff’s team lost in the playoffs and Leon 

Tracy’s team unfortunately lost in the finals, but came down to three super tie-breaks to determine 

the winner. A special thanks to Lewis Messulam, Larry Kobren and Len Rosen for their relentless 

work of being captains for our other three teams. We look forward to next year for another 

successful league result from all the teams.

DIRECTORS NOTE 

End of season is already 

upon us. We had a great 

year with many great 

memories. The Club was 

filled with members, their 

guests, family and friends 

utilizing all our Club has to 

offer. The Fitness and Spa 

Staff worked with so many 

people this year. We truly 

enjoyed helping you all in your “pursuit of 

healthiness.” Congratulations to all those with 

success stories! 

I know that this year was not just filled with 

happiness and success. There are still many 

challenges in our lives. Many of these challenges 

cause us high levels of stress. These stressors 

are unhealthy and need to be dealt with as soon 

as possible. We know that stress affects 

Stimulus 

Package 

Receive 3 x 30-minute personal training 

sessions and 3 x 60-minute deep tissue 

massages for $300! save $60 

Incorporating massage into your conditioning 

program has many benefits. It helps you get 

“in shape” faster, and with less stiffness and 

soreness. It helps you recover faster from 

heavy workouts, and relieves conditions which 

may cause injury. The physiological and 

psychological benefits of massage make it an 

ideal complement to a total conditioning 

program. 

Available throughout June and July. Recipient 

must use the same personal trainer and same 

massage therapist for the 3 sessions. Recipient 

must receive all personal training and massage 

sessions. 

different people in different ways; however the 

one consistent is that our bodies respond to 

stress negatively. The more “stressed and 

unhealthy” your body operates…the more 

“vulnerable” your body becomes. We all make 

excuses for our unhealthy actions, but let’s all 

try to “stimulate” our lives, to do the healthy 

things that will get us back on the right track. 

We at Broken Sound Spa & Fitness would like 

to help. Exercise, massages, facials, 

acupuncture, nutritional advice and social 

interactions are all great ways to relieve stress 

and are proven to make people healthier. Please 

take advantage of the great services, therapists 

and pricing we have to offer this summer.

internationally renowned dermatologist and 

author of the book The Skin Type Solution. Over 

100 members and guests attended her 

presentation at the Center Court Café, each 

receiving a gift of skin care products. Dr. 

Baumann has been involved in many notable 

research trials in cosmetic medicine, including 

Botox, Dysport, Sculptra and Juvederm. A 

question and answer session followed her 

lecture. She was professor of Dermatology at 

the University of Miami for 12 years. Currently, 

Dr. Baumann is the CEO of Baumann Cosmetic

Comprehensive Cancer Center 

on behalf of the Executive Board and members 

of Boca Friends. They expressed their deep 

appreciation for his generous donation and 

thoughtfulness supporting cancer research at 

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. 

The last item of business at the Meeting was 

the announcement that Eleanor Weisman will 

become the president of Boca Friends on 

June 1. 

Every year in May, the Papanicolaou Corps 

for Cancer Research presents its annual 

donation to Sylvester. The amount given for 

cancer research in 2009 was $3,000,000. 

Boca Friends is one of 52 units in the Pap 

Corps. Thanks to the continued support of 

Broken Sound members and residents, Boca 

Friends has raised $100,000 from this year’s 

fundraising events. We are proud that 99.1% 

net of all funds raised goes DIRECTLY to 

cancer research at Sylvester. We THANK 

YOU from the bottom of our hearts! Today’s 

Research Brings Tomorrow’s Cure!

Women’s Club 

Well, we had great attendance this season, and it’s no wonder! The speakers were 

terrific, and the Fashion Show was outstanding! Once more, you came out in huge 

numbers for Professor Robert Watson and Dr. Joyce Saltman, laughter consultant, and 

because you asked, we will try to bring them both back again next year. 

AND NOW, THE EXCITING NEWS! We are running a “WOMEN ONLY” 5 day Western 

Caribbean cruise next Dec. 4-9, 2010, on the beautiful Navigator of the Seas (Royal 

Caribbean Cruiseline). We’ll leave from Fort Lauderdale, visit Grand Cayman and 

Cozumel, with 2 days at sea, and have the best time ever with “just us gals” (married or 

single). Bring a friend, or take your daughter. Just come and enjoy this short get-away. 

Flyers list all the details and reduced group rates, or call me, Margie Lassoff, at 241-2411.
