The Clubcontinued from page 2The Presbyterian DisasterAssistance (PDA) manager inLouisiana said that except for thework of faith-based groups, notmuch was being done and they areprojecting this to be a 15-yearproject. “Out of Chaos, Hope” wasthe message printed on the teeshirts they were given. In the wordsof the Fitzpatricks “The satisfactionwe all experienced, knowing thatwe worked as hard as we could tohelp these people, and that wemade a difference in their lives,continued from page 2made us all feel wonderful.”Working on these homes that hadbeen left unattended for over 15months required goggles and safetymasks to protect them from moldand other hazardous materials.When the Broken Sound Women’sClub learned of their endeavors andthe need for supplies, they donated$300 to the camp to purchasesafety masks rated for moldprotection for future volunteers.Well done to all.Membership Reportas of Novermber 30, 2006Social 433Tennis/General 181Master 480Old Course 342Old Course Non Resident – 8Old Course Members in Waiting – 5French Legion of Honor AwardedTo Philip BalsamThe French Legion of Honor, which wascreated two centuries ago by Napoleon,is the highest decoration that Francecan confer on a citizen or foreigner andit recognizes exceptional service toFrance.

From The Finance CommitteeAs we approach year end the Finance committee has been very busy. Wehave recently evaluated our insurance coverage and reserve requirements asinsurance companies have reduced the exposure they are willing to assumeon country clubs such as ours. As a result we will have to self insure a significantamount of the potential damagefrom future hurricanes. The FinanceCommittee has recommended to theBoard of Governors a plan to providein advance funds for the potentialliability we may face. After thepresentation of the proposal theBoard tabled the recommendationfor further discussion.The mortgage on the MainClubhouse is a floating ratemortgage. As a result of risinginterest rates our monthly paymentshave increased and there is apossibility that during the course ofthe loan that amounts owed to theclub by members that repay themortgage would not be adequate torepay the mortgage when due. TheFinance Committee hasrecommended steps to reduce ourexposure to fluctuating interest rateson this mortgage. By the time youread this we will have accomplishedfixing the interest rate on thismortgage until it is repaid.In addition we have two mortgageson the East Golf Course and the EastClubhouse. Both of these mortgageshave fixed interest rates for ten years,the longest we could get at the timeof the borrowing. We areinvestigating with our bank ways tofix the interest rates on these loans.And finally the Finance Committeehas worked on an amendment to ourby laws regarding the ability of theBoard of Governors to raise moneythrough assessments andborrowings to fund capitalexpenditures and to recover fromnatural disasters. We will bepresenting this plan to the Board ofGovernors shortly.We still have not received the finalpayment for the hurricane damageof last year. There are still somenegotiations going on to finalize theamount we will receive.Our accounting department has beenbusy with the year end audit andvarious audits from regulatorybodies. The accounting departmenthas received much praise from ourauditors on the status of our recordsand of the cooperation they havegiven the auditors to complete theaudit on a timely basis. As soon asthe audited results are completed forour year end and the financial resultsare completed for the first quarterwe will post these on our web siteand send you an e-mail letting youknow they have been posted.From the Finance Committee wewish all our members a happy,healthy and prosperous new year.Red Hot Blue.... ... takes you on anostalgic musical journeythrough the decades fromRagtime to Rock-n-RollSaturday February 36PM Dinner 8PM ShowtimeRSVP Carl 241-6877Mrs Ress and daughterShelly Siegel and Nat Adler,Co-ChairsEmily Goldgram and Linda ChandlerAllianz ChampionshipAt Broken Sound Club - February 5-11, 2007A PGA Champions Tour EventJan/Feb 2007 www.brokensoundclub.org Page. 5Mrs. & Mr. Mischel, Mrs. Karow andMrs Neumann

We have highexpectations for a great year coming on the heels of a “non”-stormyear in 2006.The course has been holding up fairly nicely despite the colder weather,cloud cover and the vast amount of play so far this winter season.The Green Committee has made some allowances this season to helpaccommodate the pace of play issue with some stipulations. As youknow the two hole “cart path only” rotations were pulled to help therangers get the players around in a reasonable fashion. We also decidedto allow carts to the right of the roped area on hole #14, a par three.We have protected all of our par 3’s over the past year of which the turfquality has responded beautifully, so we were very reluctant butunderstanding in doing our part to keep the pace of play.The stipulation forthese allowances thatare being made isthat the “90 degreerule” has tobe observed andenforced. With thecomplaints we hadin 2004 and 2005 onturf quality in theLooking across the way from betweenholes #16 and #17 of the Club Course.fairways with thetiftsport Bermuda andmutated strains from construction, it was the best solution we felt toprotect the improved turf and playing heights of each fairway. The majorityof all courses in the United States have the 90 degree rule in effect yearround so it should not be any surprise here.If I can answer any questions about what practices we are doing or plansfor the future of the agronomic condition of the course, please do nothesitate to stop me in my rounds or call me at my office.Mike currently teaches many of the top tourplayers, sports celebrities and Hollywoodcelebrities…and now he’s here for you!To schedule a lesson or find out about eventsand programs available, please call the MikeAdams Academy at Broken Sound Club at(561) 674-6400.Don Pressman, Jack Simon andVinnie MancusoRon CurwinJules Pearlstine,Ken Rudnick andSal CelanoPaul Sheibra, Arnold Greenberg andDon BarkerWareen Raatz, Mike Adams & George WredeMen’s Opening DayPage.6Broken Sound Club

In February the Allianz Champion’sTour event will be taking place. Although there is a lot of talkDEMO DAYS AT THE OLD COURSECALLAWAYTuesday, January 9th10:00 am - 2:00 pmCOBRATuesday, January 16th10:00 AM - 2:OO PMCLEVELANDTuesday, January 23rd10:00 AM - 2:00 PMMartin Schuster and Dave Mitchel, Cobraand preparation going on for theplayers, the large attendance expected,merchandising, and foodand beverage prep, it was askedof me all the major changes I willbe making for the PGA Tour. I toldthem very little above what we normallydo for our membership. Infact, I may have to slow the greensdown for those “old timers” playingour course because they maynot be able to handle the speedswe establish for our MemberGuest and Club Championships.Their nerves may get the best ofthem putting downwind toward theback of the green on holes #4 and#7 during one of those tournamentdays.Nothing like watching your ball disappearover the horizon of thegreen on a long putt and end up ina hazard. If the winds get up andthe temperatures drop, it will be avery tough week for everyone playingbut we anticipate the coursekeeping her character and thecolor to hold up. We do ask yourpatience during this time as we geteverything ready but also hope youenjoy the moments with the Tourplayers and the anticipated thousandsof spectators.Will it stand up to the play of someof our greatest Champion’s TourPlayers and the microscope ofmillions of viewers? Will thecourse suffer much from theanticipated large galleries? Whatwill happen after the tournament?These are some of the questionsbeing posed to us for the Tourevent. Not having a crystal ball topredict the weather and theamount of people attending, weare very optimistic that the coreof the golf course will hold up verynicely. We will have a plan to cleanand repair everything within ourpower after the tournament andhave set aside a budget to handlethose issues.It has also been asked of me toremind the members to fix your ballmarks, fill your divots, and abideby the cart rules following the ropelayout. This only makes the coursebetter for each other and alsocomplies with the first rules of theetiquette of golf:LEAVE ITBETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT!Several members have inquired ofme what are the tufts of grass thatwe see throughout the course,such as the picture below fromhole #6 at the Old Course. Whereyou see areas like this that havecart traffic, the patterned tufts arethe result of deep tine aerificationin the summer. The roots fromthe turf have gone deep breakingthe compacted area below theground several inches. The tuftsyou see around the green, ropedareas and many areas around thetee boxes is the natural wayTifsport Bermuda grows, especiallyat the heights we maintain it. Ifwe were to lower the heights tomeet the lowest level of turf, thenwe would have “tight” lies again inwhich you would not have thecushion to hit off of, nor would theturf hold up to extension foot andcart traffic.Michael and Cheryl NowackPage.8Broken Sound Club

Food & BeverageFood For ThoughtTim Nelson, Food & Bev Dir. and Lisa Fuller, Catering ManagerA line from the ‘Circle Game’ by Joni Mitchell swam through mymind this morning as I prepared to write the Food and BeverageDepartment article — “And the seasons they go round and round- the painted ponies go up and down”.........When it is time to submit ourletter, it is a time for reflection.During the ‘season’ this task canbe overwhelming.
