A N D R E W S C O U N T R Y C L U B 2015 M E S S AG E FROM THE INSIDE President Dear Members: Summer has not slowed us down this year! You asked and we delivered, our staff has created a full calendar of events this summer to keep our year round members busier than ever. Check out the new Sunset Spin Class at the pool which instantly became a new, member favorite. Pick up a Club calendar at the Front Desk to take advantage of many other new activities added to the summer’s agenda. S t. A n dr e ws July/August 2015 Ed Rice Based on the request of the membership, the Board has approved the purchase of the Symbiont Geothermal Pool System that will heat and cool all three pools as needed throughout the seasons. The Symbiont system is very economically friendly and more efficient than the system we were using previously. This change was decided just in time because our old heating system was due for a replacement. We hope you all enjoy this brand new, top of the line pool system all year long!

Our fiscal year ends October 31 and in eight months we have already surpassed the total number of homes closed each of the past two years. Don’t forget to introduce yourself to the new members and give them a warm St. Andrews welcome!

Those members who remain year round are being treated to a stepped up summer offering including more flexibility in dining options than ever before, Friday night entertainment, spa specials, on and off-site activities and so much more! In case you haven’t heard, we are pleased to share that our home closings thus far in the fiscal year are at 45 with eight pending. We have far exceeded our goal of 30 and reports indicate that home prices are beginning to increase. In addition, five of the closed homes were non-member homes which allows us to grow our membership base. Craig D. Martin, CCM, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Our various marketing activities such as marketing promotions, Realtor® outreach, and social media campaigns have had a positive impact on our sales success. Your support in verbally marketing St. Andrews to your friends while you are vacationing or enjoying your northern clubs is encouraged. The majority of our new members each year join because of member referrals and their experience visiting the club as a guest. Referrals remain the best form of marketing for any club as a stronger membership is built from personalized encouragement to join. Soon you will be receiving our annual request to update your contact information in the membership directory and we will once again request that you also send in a recent photo of you and your family members who are listed on the membership. The Board recently approved a Rule requiring all members listed on the membership to provide a photo taken within the past two years to the Membership Department. You can send them directly to Joanna Pratt, Marketing & Membership Specialist at jpratt@standrewscc.com or call her at 561-451-4900 x488 for assistance. We have begun the Golf Shop renovation and look forward to seeing the facility open again in the fall with a new floor plan, designer accoutrements, and a brand new line of soft and hard goods. In other golf news, upon the recommendation of the Greens Committee, the Board agreed to not replace the driving range turf at this time since the Long Range Planning Committee is reviewing future modifications to all of the practice facilities. This is a prudent decision not to spend funds on items that are being considered for complete replacement. Finally, be on the lookout for this Style Magazine in video format for you to easily share with family and friends. All the best, St. Andrews Style • July/August 2015 3 Dining WOOO!!! Is it hot out there, or is it just those Chef Steve BBQ Ribs we are serving at Lakeside?! Your Food & Beverage Team have put together a new Lakeside menu for the rest of the summer that has some Lakeside favorites and a few fresh treats. The new menu will be available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout July, and the rest of August. Thank you all for sending back your survey which was absolutely instrumental in revamping our new summer Lakeside menu. Because of numerous membership requests, we have decided to keep the Gallery open throughout the month of July for lunch every day and dinner on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Gallery will be closed for annual renovations the entire month of August. All restaurants will remain closed for dinner on Mondays till the beginning of October. Please look for notifications around the Clubhouse, and on our website. Our restaurant hours can also be found on the Club website and in the weekly eNewsletter. Federica Davis Director of Food & Beverage June was a very strong month for the F&B department boosted by the Comedy Show Dinner and Father’s Day celebration. Revenues in the dining outlets exceeded budget numbers followed by the revenues coming from the Catering department. Don’t forget to join us for Wine & Dine every Wednesday night at Lakeside. We have some excellent wines this month from South America, Europe, and California. While Wednesdays Wine & Dine have slowed down to more modest numbers, Tuesday and Thursday nights at Lakeside have been extremely successful and the members are enjoying the different dining atmosphere. Friday Lobster Specials continue to be our members’ favorite evening. The addition of complimentary sushi selection and the Friday nights entertainment in the View has added to the St. Andrews summer experience by offering members another fun and relaxed dining option. See you around the Club. 4 July/August 2015 • St. Andrews Style THE Around Club Activities EV EN TS Ally Hirst Social & Events Manager The members who attended our Vino Picasso event on June 17 really showed their inner artistry!

Friday, August 7 Dawn Marie St. Andrews Style • July/August 2015 5 THE On Green THE HEAT IS ON With the summer heat upon us don’t forget to practice under our two Dryrainge Canopies. These allow three golfers per unit to practice in the summer heat or rain. Also don’t forget to sign up for a lesson or fitting in the Golf Performance Center. The GPC has just added a Paul Clivio, huge upgrade to the technology used for inside video Director of Golf teaching. The new Flight Scope system has more tracking power and better statistics than ever before to help fit every member with the proper clubs. We have also added three new high definition cameras, more models for comparison, and an entire new computer system that allows our golf professionals to give the best lessons anywhere around. If you ask any golf professional they will tell you how important it is to use video technology to help with your swing and we have the area’s best facility right here at St. Andrews just for you. While I do agree that having the best technology is important I also believe the main key to hitting the ball longer is to develop the proper core strength and swing flexibility. Over the past 10 years exercise vans have been going from PGA tournament to PGA tournament and players even have their exercise instructor meet them at the events. Recently some of the St. Andrews trainers have been out on the driving range helping members build their core strength by performing specific drills and stretches that relate to the golf swing. We have two TRUE stretching machines: one is located in the Fitness Center; and the other is just outside the GPC. Everyone should take a few minutes prior to playing or practicing to make sure they have their body properly stretched. UPCOMING EVENTS Beat The Pros July 19 Complimentary New Golfer Clinic July 25 6 July/August 2015 • St. Andrews Style CONGRATULATIONS TO PAUL AND HIS TEAM ON WINNING A BLUE RIBBON AT THIS YEAR’S CMAA IDEA FAIR ON THEIR GREAT IDEA!

We try to play threesomes so that we can move along quickly to beat the heat and the rain. This is also a call to all new St. Andrews members. BE OUR GUEST. Come try us out this summer for free. We want to welcome you into the group before we start the new fall season in November. Our new season will be full of exciting tournaments and events. Some new and some old.

With that being said, I want to thank all of our avid tennis aficionados for keeping our courts relatively active during June and July. There are several recent events to report on and first up is our annual end of the season Junior Tennis Pool Pizza Party. Aaron Krickstein We had a record 30 kids attend this awesome year Director of Tennis end party and everyone had a blast! Next up was our fun Memorial Day Round Robin event which was played under beautiful blue skies. Twenty-four members participated and all enjoyed the format and comradery. Last, but certainly not least, was the always popular Firecracker Mixer but unfortunately inclement weather and lightning in the area cancelled the tournament. We are currently in the finishing stages of finalizing next year’s tennis calendar of events and the entire tennis staff (whom will all be back!) are looking forward to another terrific season. In closing, our next event is our Labor Day Round Robin scheduled for Monday, September 7. Please come out and enjoy this great, fun filled holiday event. See you on the courts!

Calendar subject to change. 12 July/August 2015 • St. Andrews Style Jackie Martinez Director of Spa The difference between a foot massage and foot reflexology? The only similarity between the two services is that they are both relaxing as long as you are ok with your feet being touched. However, these treatments are VERY different in technique and purpose. A foot massage is generally performed by a massage therapist as part of the routine massage service or by a nail technician performing a pedicure. Both have been trained and licensed to perform traditional massage techniques geared toward relaxation. Foot reflexology is a specialty service. Licensed therapists take additional classes to be trained in this specialty and certification is given to those who meet all requirements. The philosophy behind foot reflexology is based on the premise that the foot contains a series of pressure points that correspond with all the major body systems, including the skin, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, circulatory system, and lymphatic system. Based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body, reflexologists are able to apply pressure and flex the foot to stimulate these systems. In most cases, reflexology can: • Provide general stress relief • Restore inner balance • Aide in detoxification • Improve circulation • Provide immunological boost • Aide in pain relief • Identify stress patterns in the body Here at St. Andrews we have seen vast improvement amongst our members who frequent reflexology with balance, aches & pains and aide in pre/post surgeries.

BROCCOLI AND GREEN LEAFY VEGGIES: High in antioxidants and the more color and darker the green leafy veggies, the more nutrients. 8GINGER: Ginger is great for digestion and for inflammation. 9 HERBAL AND GREEN TEA: Helps with digestion and increases metabolism. 10WATER, WATER, WATER: Necessary to remove toxins, cleanses the body, great for skin and hair. Linda Spielmann Director of Catering I hope this article finds everyone well and enjoying your summer, wherever your location may be! It is my pleasure to introduce you to our new Social and Events Manager, Ally Hirst! Ally joined St. Andrews Country Club in May and has assumed the responsibilities of her predecessor, Emma MacHugh. Although Ally is originally from Jacksonville, as a member of a military family she lived in many areas, but in particular, Washington D.C. Prior to joining St. Andrews Ally was a second grade teacher in Jacksonville and brings not only a passion for children’s activities to our Club, but also, a strong creative event side. Ally was previously in charge of many large events at University of North Florida and also, the Jewish Community Alliance. Ally has already implemented new initiatives at the Club, one being the opportunity to arrange cultural and off premise events for those members wishing to experience something outside of St. Andrews and, creating a concise guide outlining all of the many children’s activities for the 20152016 season. Please join me in welcoming Ally to the St. Andrews Country Club team! Any questions you may have for Ally, she can be reached at ahirst@standrewscc.com or, at extension #413. On a final note, safe travels to all of you who are traveling during the summer! As always, please do not hesitate to contact the Catering Department for that special event!
