Members In The News 

Mr. Steven Forman, a member of Broken Sound Club, has just penned his first 

novel which is a Winter 2009 Forge Select Tilte Published by Forge Books. Titled 

Boca Knights, 

It features Eddie Perlmutter, a former Boston 

cop who, at sixty years of age and with arthritic 

knees, decides to retire to Boca Raton. He soon 

discovers the “darker” side of Boca and singlehandedly 

captures a counterfeiting ring. 

He becomes a Senior Citizen superman 

and an overnight sensation in the local 

press and then goes after a group of neo- 

Nazis. Some of the advance comments 

have stated “Boca Knights goes down 

faster than a frosty double mojito on a 

hot tropical night” from Lincoln Child, author 

of Deep Storm. Steve Abrams, 

Boca’s former Mayor, says that it is “an 

inspiring story and wonderful cast of characters 

– but the star of the book, I venture 

to say, is my beloved Boca Raton!” 

Mr. Forman was born and raised in the Boston 

area. After graduating the Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst, he founded a oneman 

business. He currently divides his time between the Boston area and Boca 

Raton and Boca Knights is his first novel which will be available this winter. He is 

currently working on the sequel Boca Mournings. 

We at Broken Sound wish Mr. Forman much success in his new endeavor.

Presidents Message 

Living Better, Longer 

Dear Member, 

For two years we have hosted the legends of the PGA Champions Tour in the Allianz 

Championship at The Old Course. 

I hope you have 

enjoyed, as I have, 

this community 

event that brings 

millions of revenue 

dollars to the City 

of Boca Raton, 

tremendous local 

and national 

television exposure to Broken Sound, as 

well as supporting the Boca Raton 

Community Hospital. This year the 

Allianz Championship will be held on 

February 9 th -15 th , 2009. 

I would like to remind you that we have 

a special opportunity to play golf with 

these legends of the game. The Allianz 

Championship hosts two pro-ams during 

the week prior to the Championship 

rounds. On Wednesday or Thursday, you 

can tee it up in a foursome with one of 

these Champions Tour Greats. You can 

buy spots individually or as a group. The 

gift package each individual receives is 

second to none with items such as: a 

$500 gift certificate to be used at the 

Titleist/Cobra on course store, one 

dozen PRO-V1 golf balls, designer golf 

shirt, gold money clip and an invitation 

for you and a guest to mingle with the 

Pros at the Tuesday night VIP Draw 

Party held at the Boca Raton Resort 

& Club. 

I have been able to secure a 10% 

discount for the Allianz Championship 

Pro-ams for all Broken Sound 

members. The Broken Sound member 

cost for an individual spot is $2,700 

and a foursome is $10,800. If you 

are part of a business, you can carry 

this savings to them as well. 

Furthermore, you can also deduct from 

your income taxes as a charitable 

contribution the sum of $1,800. As a 

non-profit 501c3 organization, the 

Allianz Championship will present you 

with a letter and certificate of 

exemption following the tournament, 

which you can present at tax time. 

I hope you will take advantage of this 

offer for the once in a lifetime 

opportunity to play with the Champions 

Tour Pros.

community outreach 

Not only mental, but physical benefits come 

with the act of giving back. 

A Volunteer Fair Is Coming to Broken Sound 

People who give time to a volunteer activity 

tend to be healthier and happier. This is even 

more true if it helps others. 

On Friday, November 7, from 2:30pm to 

4:30pm in the 19th Hole, the community 

outreach chair, of the Social Committee, has 

arranged for representatives of several local 

organizations to be at Broken Sound to help 

you learn about their programs and of what 

might be of interest to you. 

You have probably been thinking about this 

for a long time, and did not know where or 

how to begin - no more excuses -now we are 

bringing it all to you. 

There is a place for you. You name it... animals, 

children, adults seniors, babies, plants - in a 

museum, in a school, indoors, outdoors.

Broken Sound Club

From The Finance Committee 

Management has been working on the budget since April and each July the Board of 

Governors meets to adopt the budget for the fiscal year beginning in October. 

The budget adopted amounted to 

$14,667,000 which represents the 

excess of the projected expenses to be 

incurred over the revenues to be received. 

This represents a 3.5% increase 

in the total budget versus last year’s budget. 

As previously notified this produced 

a dues increase of $296 per Family 

membership and $261 for a Single 

membership. In addition the Service 

Charge which primarily helps to support 

Food and Beverage services has been 

increased by $10 per month or $110 

per family per month and $80 per individual 

per month. 

As you know by your own personal 

experiences prices for all products 

purchased have escalated dramatically 

this year. The Club purchases many 

products that also had substantial price 

increases such as food, energy, plastics, 

fuel, fertilizer and pesticides. In order to 

minimize the impact of these price 

increases Management carefully examined 

all its operations to reduce the impact 

of these price increases and to 

bring this budget in at a very reasonable 

increase while continuing to provide all 

the services and amenities that you are 

used to receiving. The complete budget 

is available for your review in the Finance 

Department. 

At June 30 our finances are close to 

budget. Barring any extraordinary events 

we should end the year at September 

30, 2008 at or slightly ahead of budget. 

We hope you have enjoyed your summer 

and we will keep you informed of our 

financial progress on the Finance 

Committee web site. 

If you have any questions please write 

to us at the Club or you can e mail us at

We hope you all enjoy the new seashore 

paspalum tees this year as every tee top now 

has the new turf. Although they require a little 

more cultivation work, they stay green and 

striped all year long. We will occasionally 

verticut the tee tops to keep them from getting 

too lush and developing disease with only a 

slight inconvenience now and then. 

The new landscaping by the main driving range 

will be completed by the time this newsletter 

goes to print. So far we have heard a great deal 

of support for the entire design concept in 

beautifying the practice area at the Club Course.

Club Course News 

Before you purchase that driver your friend is hitting so well; those irons you saw on 

T.V. last week; the fairway wood that promises a perfect shot every time, or that 

hybrid you think you need but are unsure of, you should ask yourself one question, 

Page. 

6 

“How will I know if this 

is the right club for 

me?” 

When was the last time 

you played golf with 

someone who had the 

exact same swing as 

you? Your answer is the same as everyone 

else reading this…”Never!” Each one of 

us has our own unique swing. 

Golf clubs do not break in. If they don’t fit 

you correctly, you break in. That is, you 

adapt your swing to the deficiencies in the 

club. You change your swing to fit the 

club when the club should be made to fit 

your swing. How do you make a club fit 

your swing? Get your clubs custom fit to 

your swing. In a game where you need 

maximum distance as well as distance 

control, guessing isn’t good enough. 

Nike Golf has revolutionized custom club 

fitting. Nike has taken tour level fitting and 

made it available to the everyday golfer 

with its 360 IFS (Intelligent Fitting System) 

software and fitting cart. The Broken 

Sound Club Course is the only course in 

South Eastern Florida to have Nike’s 360 

fitting system. The Nike 360 fitting 

system uses state of the art IFS software 

Golf Maintenance, Joe Hubbard, CGCS 

coupled with a launch monitor to build 

you the perfect set. 

Who doesn’t want to hit their driver 

further? Ever asked yourself which club 

you should use, the fairway wood or the 

hybrid? Not only will it build the driver 

that will give you optimum launch 

conditions which in turn will result in 

added yardage and accuracy; it will tell 

you exactly which fairway woods, hybrids 

and irons you need to ensure you have 

a club for every distance (sorry, 300 

yards excluded). The best part, it only 

takes about an hour to be fit for an entire 

set, driver through wedge. 

Technology has provided us with many 

advances in golf equipment. Today’s 

equipment is far more forgiving than 

equipment made 20 years ago, but the 

average player is not playing better. The 

major reason for this is the average 

player is playing with equipment that is 

not fitted correctly to their needs. 

Custom fit golf clubs will give you the 

confidence and enjoyment you have been 

looking for. I invite you to visit the Golf 

Shop to learn more about this exciting 

opportunity. 

Best in Golf, 

Scott Feller, PGA Director of Golf 

My superintendents, crew and I would like to welcome back all those who come down 

in the early Fall to enjoy the cooling high 80 degree weather in South Florida. 

We anticipate a 

busy and successful 

season of golfing and 

presenting wonderful 

golf courses for your 

playing pleasure. 

As for some “house 

keeping” notes: Ropes will start to go 

back up around both courses, along with 

traffic control signs – this is really the 

only way to control traffic for the amount 

of play we have. The ninety (90) degree 

rule will be in effect the entire year. Make 

your runs parallel in the rough to your 

ball and then make a straight line to it in 

the fairway. We would appreciate when 

you reach the approach ropes/balls or 

green & white stakes that you never drive 

across them as a shortcut but exit to 

the cart path and park your carts in the 

designated areas (concrete path or 

coquina path, respectively). 

For the handicap players, we ask you 

not to cut across any ropes or signs 

around the greens. To get to the 

designated parking markers around the 

greens, please use the cart path to go 

past the green and then up to the 

markers. This will preserve the quality 

of the turf and aesthetics around the 

greens. All par 3s on both courses are 

limited to the cart paths only with the 

exception of #12 at the Old Course for 

handicap players only. 

As I write this article we are still in a 

Phase II drought restriction but talk is 

underway by the South Florida Water 

Management District to ease 

regulations of water on golf courses, of 

which, we are heavily regulated and 

monitored weekly with monthly caps. 


Old Course News 

We hope you 

are enjoying your 

summer and we look 

forward to having you 

back here at the Old 

Course. 

The season is around the corner 

and we have a full fun schedule of activities 

and events for everyone to participate 

in. 

We will be offering a number of 

services that we hope you take 

full advantage of. 

We will have complimentary clinics 

periodically through the season. 

We can give a comprehensive club fitting 

The little engine... That still can 

examination to see if the clubs you have 

are the best available to suit your game. 

We have a new Loft and Lie machine, 

where we can check the specifications 

of your clubs and if desired change them 

to better suit your golf game. 

The Old Course will be open 7 days a 

week beginning Monday October 27 th . 

We will also be open on Labor Day 

Monday September 1 st . 

The golf course is in great condition and 

we are asking your cooperation in golf 

course etiquette. Please adhere to all 

cart regulations and especially be sure 

to repair all ball marks!

July 14 - Old Betsy makes a special appearance for the Boca Raton Firefighters Golf 

Tournament held at Broken Sound Club. There were 144 players and 30 volunteers. 

Proceeds to benefit Boca Raton Firefighters & Paramedic Benevolent Fund & Boca 

Raton Combat Challenge Team. 

Old Betsy, manufactured in Elmira, New 

York, in 1924 was at the time 

considered state-of-the-art firefighting 

equipment. Along with her water pumping 

capabilities, Old Betsy was equipped with 

a chemical system, hose carrier, hard 

suction hose and lanterns on the rear 

post.

The Old Course has continued to gain in 

popularity throughout the state of Florida and 

the East Coast with the playing of the Allianz 

Championship in February and now the recent 

US Amateur Qualifying in August. In September 

that notoriety will be further enhanced with the 

Old Course hosting the Southeast PGA Regional 

Championship in September. We anticipate 

another successful tournament and a great season 

for our members. 

The opening of the reconstructed old practice 

putting green and the resurfaced driving range tee 

will be determined as the health and quality 

dictate. We will let you know when each will be 

ready. Thank you for your patience through the 

improvement period as we continue to strive for 

the best for our members each year. 

Old Betsy, the city’s first fire engine, 

arrived in 1926. It was used thru the 

1960’s. It is still in perfect working 

order, however the breaks are 

mechanical and DO NOT STOP very fast. 

Old Betsy found a home in the south bay 

of old City Hall on Federal Highway.

Food For Thought 

It’s all in the details! 

When planning a party of any size, people generally tend to think that the ‘extras’ are 

the things that make the price go up. That is absolutely TRUE! But details are what 

make a party memorable. Cost effective methods are always at our fingertips 

that allow us to embellish what we already 

have nailed down. Keep in mind that the 

first news of a party is what creates hype, 

and therefore your invitation should 

give a small hint of things to come. A 

way to save is ordering your invitations 

online from websites such as 

www.paperdirect.com where you can find 

great deals as well as a downloadable 

template that will make the printing quite 

easy. Adding a printed personalized 

mailing label (easily printable at home in 

Microsoft Word with labels purchased at 

any office supply store) and / or 

personalized stamps (available at 

usps.com) will not go unnoticed either. 

Same is applicable for place cards, 

menus, programs, etc. 

Details are especially important when it 

comes to the look of the venue. As well 

as specialty linens, rental chargers are 

often crucial to a sharp, fresh look 

depending on the location; in facilities such 

as Broken Sound there is very little that 

needs to be done due to exquisitely 

decorated rooms. A simple touch such

For those of you who are slowly returning to sunny Florida, we would 

like to wish you a warm welcome back to Broken Sound Club. Wherever 

your destination, we hope you enjoyed your summer months as much 

as we did. 

As for us, our Tuesday 

evening Prix Fixe menu, 

Sunday evening buffets 

and Friday Ala Carte 

dinners continue their popularity with our 

year round members. It’s been a summer 

like no other before; we kept busy with 

events such as the highly acclaimed Wine 

Tastings. 

Cooking Classes with Executive Chef Joe 

Longo and Pastry Chef Kate Austin, were 

again, a big hit with our members. We 

are glad that we can offer this exciting 

way to take home your favorite recipes 

designed by our imaginative Chefs. This 

year as an added bonus, Joe Longo’s 

Cooking Classes are now available on DVD. 

If you were away or would like a copy of 

the recipe booklet and DVD, they are on 

sale for $15.00 each so please feel free 

to contact our office for your copy to take 

home. Call our Administrative Assistant, 

Alexandra Stewart at 561-241-6824 to 

order your copy. 

During the summer we have been busy 

preparing for the upcoming season from 

riveting member events to lavish private 

parties and we are confident you will be 

pleased with the outcome. With so many 

details that need attention, we are always 

thrilled when we please our members. 

Take a moment to speak with your friends 

and neighbors. Several hosted their 

landmark’ birthday celebrations and 

anniversary parties this summer at the 

club. Needless to say – they were very 

satisfied. We truly appreciate your trust 

and confidence in the Catering 

Department and look forward to another 

exciting season 

More and more of our members start 

planning memorable events for and with 

their loved ones. Therefore as of this issue 

we are adding a brief article that will 

concentrate on tips for party planning. 

Please see Lorant G. Botha’s article 

below. 

Please keep your eyes open for the new 

Dining Schedule due to be released early 

October. Once it is complete, it will be 

emailed to all the members, posted on 

the Broken Sound website and distributed 

to all of the dining locations and 

receptionists. Old Course members 

please note that revisions were made to 

the Old Course dress code. Please take 

a moment to review the changes as our 

dining room managers have been 

instructed to thoroughly enforce the 

dress code.

as monochromatic cotton napkin in a color 

that suits your theme (available at no 

charge) with an interesting fold, assorted 

candies and nuts displayed in martini 

glasses, votive candles displayed around 

the table or a cute favor might be just 

the extra touch that you need. 

But remember, the party needs to end 

with a high note. Consider investing in a 

specialty cake or pastries that our pastry 

chefs can make into shapes and sizes 

that suit your needs, taste and theme. 

That final touch will ensure that your guests 

will be talking about your party for weeks, 

months and years to come. 

Please let us know if you need the 

professional opinion of our catering 

experts regarding an event that you’re 

planning at Broken Sound or somewhere 

else. Stay tuned for the next issue as we 

will reveal some tips and tricks of the 

trade. 

Until next time, Lorant G. Botha, CHS

Zumba at Broken Sound 

Wednesday, 6:00 p.m. 

Instructor- Jessie 

Celebrity fitness trainer, “Beto” Perez, stumbled upon the concept of 

Latin inspired fitness in his native country of Colombia ( South 

America ) in the mid 1990’s. One day, he walked into 

his class and realized that he had forgotten his 

aerobics music, and his only option was to grab 

whatever tapes he had in his car. Beto’s tapes were 

comprised of the songs that he loved, the traditional 

Latin salsa and merengue music with which he had 

been raised. But it was a challenge to improvise a 

whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics 

music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this 

last-minute improvisation was born a 

revolutionary fitness program Zumba ® Fitness!

Members Highlights 

Dr Ehrlich an avid jogger of 25 years, on two separate occasions suffered from 

herniated disks. When Dr Ehrlich retired, he found himself physically restricted and 

semi-housebound due to his injuries that made it difficult for him to walk. 

Although Dr. Ehrlich coped with his pain, 

his biggest complaint with his condition 

was the numbness in his ankles and the 

pain in his back. After receiving months 

of physical therapy, he felt that he had 

not fully reached the quality of life he 

anticipated and thought surgery was his 

only option. 

While on the golf course, a member 

recommended having a massage with 

“Ronald.” Dr Ehrlich had never received 

a massage before and was a “hostile 

witness.” “I didn’t believe there was 

anything Ronald could do for me.” 

Reluctantly, Dr Ehrlich received his first 

massage which was a little 

uncomfortable, but later that same 

afternoon Dr Ehrlich felt much more 

limber. The next week after Dr Ehrlich’s 

second massage with Ronald, the 

numbness in his ankles had gone! Now 

when Dr Ehrlich receives his massages, 

he is pain free! Dr Ehrlich continued 

seeing Ronald every week for a year and 

still does “quarterly maintenance check.” 

“He gave me back my life”. Before seeing 

Ronald on a regular basis, Dr Ehrlich 

could only manage 4 minutes on the 

treadmill. Now Dr Ehrlich visits the 

fitness center regularly and can jog for 

30 minutes. “After Ronald gave me back 

my life, I recommended him to others 

on a daily basis.” Dr Ehrlich currently 

enjoys coaching both his grandsons’ 

soccer teams, especially considering that 

he can now jog along with his grandsons 

and their teams. 

To book your massage, please contact 

the spa front desk at 241-6899. 

SPA INFORMATION 

New Aerobics Classes 

Functional Movement : 

Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. 

Instructor- Foti 

Functional fitness teaches correct body 

movement patterns. These movement patterns 

will help your muscle groups function correctly, 

avoiding wear and tear on your joints due to 

improper muscle balance. Functionally fit 

individuals are strong, balanced, coordinated 

and flexible. This class will help you feel better 

overall as you learn to move your body in the 

way it was truly designed to function. 

Golf Conditioning : Tuesday, 4:00 p.m. 

Instructor- Foti 

This class offers a series of movements that will 

improve both your golf game and your general 

strength and conditioning. The focus of the 

class will be to increase strength, stability and 

range of motion in those areas of the body that 

typically inhibit the golf swing. This program 

is developed in conjunction with the Titleist 

Golf Perfomance Institute. 

Mrs. Donath has been living in Broken Sound for 15 years. Over the past 20 years 

she has kept a very active lifestyle, taking Jazzercise/aerobics classes every day. 

Unfortunately, due to three arthroscopic knee surgeries, she was unable to continue 

with her classes. After her last surgery 

in 2001, she started exercising once 

again by power walking and using the 

ellipticals and treadmills. Three years 

ago, she began personal training with 

Jerry Parrish in order to build up her 

strength and her flexibility. She also was 

diagnosed with osteoporosis, which Mrs. 

Donath was concerned about, so she 

wanted to emphasize building up her bone 

density. She was also concerned about 

starting any training program since she 

has stenosis of her lumbar spine and 

arthritis in her neck. Mrs. Donath is 

happy to report that since she has been 

training with Jerry, her strength and 

flexibility have improved immensely. 

During her recent Doctor’s visit, her test 

results showed that her bone density has 

increased because of her weight training. 

As a result of her exercise regimen with 

Jerry she has not needed to take 

medication for her osteoporosis for over 

a year. She feels that Jerry has helped 

reshape her body, increase her 

metabolism and improve her flexibility. 

She no longer needs to take an epidural 

for her stenosis and feels stronger and 

healthier than ever. Jerry consistently 

watches her form to make sure that she 

doesn’t break down in her mechanics. 

He has nicknamed her “Tiger”, as a 

reference to her strength and tenacity 

during her training. When asked for final 

comments, Mrs. Donath stated, “I don’t 

ever intend to stop training. My goal is 

to be the best that I can be!”

please contact the Fitness Manager at

BOCA FRIENDS FOR 

CANCER RESEARCH 

Comprehensive Cancer Center 

As summer draws to a close, we are about to start another season of fundraising for 

money so needed for cancer research. We have been busy all summer planning great 

activities for you to enjoy and for us to reach our goal in finding a cure. 

We open our season with our paid up membership tea on Monday, November 10th at 

the beautiful home of Debby Singerman. 

Our Annual Walkathon will take place on Sunday, December 14. Round up the children, 

gather family and friends and let’s walk together for the cure. We start at 8:30AM with 

warm up exercises led by our own Al Salkeld. We then walk around the community and 

return to the clubhouse for a delectable brunch, and a silent auction. Each year more 

and more people join the fun, and we hope you will be one of them. 

Save Thursday, January 29, 2008 for our winter card party. We will have several new 

and interesting vendors, along with raffle prizes. 

Boca Friends is one of 47 units in South Florida working to raise funds for cancer 

research. Last year our efforts alone, resulted in giving to the Pap Corp. $120,000 

toward this goal. At our annual luncheon in May, the Pap Corp. gave to Miami Sylvester 

Comprehensive Cancer Center a check for $4.15 million. We could not have accomplished 

this without your support. 

Many people don’t know that Boca Friends does much more than fundraising. We have 

a referral service that helps people in the community connect with specialists at Sylvester 

should the need arise. A call to Barbara Pessel at 736-7772, Arnie Spevak at 241- 

6417, Robin Schumer at 995-2408 or Roberta Oberman at 740-3003 will get you 

the prompt help that you need. 

Cancer does not discriminate. There isn’t a family that has not been touched. Let’s work 

together to eliminate this dread disease.

The Broken Sound Community has passed the halfway mark for 2008. It is truly 

because of you, by sharing this project with your friends & family. 

This year we are thrilled to tell you that our Boca Raton Community High School 

Navy Junior ROTC students have taken CP4S as their Community Service Project. 

For ’08 we have sent 679 cellular phones & accessories which allow calling cards 

to be purchased and sent to our men & women of the Military to call their families 

stateside. 

At the Club House, the front desk receptionist will gladly accept your cell phones. 

Thanking you again,The Wolfers
