We opened the Clubhouse on Thanksgiving Day, and just four days later, we hosted nearly 900 members for the Grand Opening celebration. The New Year will bring many new ways to enjoy the new Clubhouse, we promise to keep you busy! We extend a warm welcome to the many New Members and New Renters who are calling Gleneagles home for this first time this winter. We hope to see you at the events around the Club! We are delighted to share good news regarding Dining Guest Fees. Effective December 1, 2014, Dining Guest Fees have been eliminated for all meal periods. We hope that our members will take advantage of this opportunity to bring friends and family to dine in our beautiful new Clubhouse in the upcoming season! The Board of Governors Election scheduled for February 2015 will be held to fill six open seats. In large measure, the future of our Club is tied to the quality of our leadership and it is therefore imperative that the six members to be elected to this year’s board possess the skill, judgment and maturity to guide the Club going forward. A Meet the Candidates night is scheduled for Monday, January 19 at 7:30 pm in the Legends Dining Room. All members are urged to attend this important meeting to ask relevant questions of the candidates. The North Gate Renovation project continues to move forward on schedule. Thank you for your continued patience as we complete this project in the next few months. We hope that you will take time this season to join us at one of our Roundtable meetings. Some of the topics that we will cover are the financial performance of the club, real estate sales and what it means to our Gleneagles community. Both select Board Members and Staff will attend these meetings to answer any question that you may have. Contact Varto Hairanian at 498-3606 ext. 131 or vhairanian@gleneagles.cc to inquire about the next available meeting.

The season is definitely in full swing, and the tournament participation has been over the top! From Mixed Couples events to Majors, it is great to see the activity and camaraderie among the players at all of the events. We hope that you joined us for our first demo day of the season on December 19! It is always a lot of fun to see and test the new equipment. Save the date for the next one on February 27! In early December, we installed a new fleet of golf carts. They are a beautiful new green color to give the fleet a totally unique look, the perfect complement to your new clubhouse! Thank you for taking care of your courses from cart traffic to filling the divots, raking the bunkers, and keeping pace of play. Hopefully our weather continues to cooperate and keeps the season moving strong. Please know that if you have any questions on rules or regulations, you can refer to your Rules & Regulations booklet or stop in the golf shop for assistance. Your golf experience is really important to us, so if you have any questions or ideas for future events, please let us know. Keep hitting it forward and keep your head down, most of all have fun! pro golf tip Tournament time is always the time that we want to play our best golf. Typically, those rounds come with a little more pressure, and most often, it comes from ourselves! When we tee it up a little nervous, we feel tighter in the grip and the arms. It is important to remember to loosen up and let go of the tension. Keeping positive thoughts in your head throughout the round is the key. Sometimes a little practice swing, a thought of the last time you hit that good shot, or that last putt that went in the hole are all that it takes to loosen up. Take it ‘one shot at a time’, and don’t get ahead of yourself. As they say, stay within the moment and take a breath. Remember, we are all here to play recreational golf and make it a fun part of our life. Keep smiling and finish that swing no matter what! Don’t ever give up, there is always another day! Have fun out there! – Joe the Eagle golf EVENTS Pro Points JASON HRYNKIW pga, head golf professional I hope everyone had a great Holiday season! It was great to see everyone enjoying their families at the club. As we move into the heart of the golf calendar, we are looking forward to the continued success of the events. The Nine & Dine events have become very popular, along with the monthly couples events. We thank the entire membership for making all golf events a success. The participation numbers speak loud and clear: The members at Gleneagles Country Club love GOLF! It was nice to see everyone that came out for the recent Demo Day event. If you need some assistance with your golf equipment, don't hesitate to ask the Professional Staff. We want to see you play your best! Some new products will be introduced in early February as the PGA Merchandise Show is just around the corner. Mark your calendar as we will be hosting another Demo Day on February 27 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm! a note from GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE The Driving Range will be MATS ONLY on January 1 - 4, January 16, and January 26 JANUARY 2014 Ladies’ 18 Ryder Cup January 6, 8 & 13 at 8:30 am Men’s 18 Governor's Cup January 7, 9, & 14 at 8:30 am Couples Golf (Sixsomes) Sunday, January 11 18 Holers at 8:30 am 9 Holers at 10:30 am Ladies’ 9 Ryder Cup January 20 & 27 at 10:30 am Men’s 9 Ryder Cup January 21 & 28 at 1:00 pm Nine & Dine January 29 at 3:00 pm Ladies‘ 18 Hole Opening Day, November 11, 2014 January 2015 7 on our COURTS Racquet Talk MIKE PUC, uspta director of tennis & fitness I attended a very informative Gleneagles Healthy Living Lectures Series last November provided by the Fitness Department. (These are great complimentary lectures on various health topics available to all members – check the schedule available in Fitness). Dr. Nick Kusturic spoke on “Breathing Techniques” as a window to better health, inner calm and stress relief. He referenced ancient fitness disciplines such as Tai TENNIS Chi and Yoga that use controlled breathing to PRO SHOP 499-0211 enhance performance. I thought of the breathing methods we teach in Monday - Friday tennis. Young junior tennis players are taught at an 7:30 am - 4:00 pm early age to expend air and energy by breathing Saturday, Sunday out every time they strike the ball. This sometimes translates into annoying grunts and screams even & Holidays at the highest level that I do not endorse, but every 7:30 am - 2:00 pm club player should aspire to breathe out while hitting as a positive technique to relaxation and proper stroking. Holding your breath when striking the ball creates tension in the muscles that control the racquet and tension in large muscle groups resulting in forced, unnatural swings. If you are extra winded after a long point it may be that your breathing is not connected with your hits. Golfers can appreciate that their shots are longer and more controlled when they have a relaxed fluid swing and breathe out on contact. Hockey players breathe when they shoot the puck, pitchers, basketball players and quarterbacks breathe when they throw the ball and tennis players should breathe when they hit the ball. This does not mean you only breathe out when you hit but you should time your breathing to occur every single time on contact. Try saying a word like “swoosh” or “hit” on contact. You will be amazed at the effortless results and your recovery time between points will improve! The PlayMate Smash ball machine with revolutionary iPlayMate computer technology on board allows the Pro Shop to program our iPad with pre set drills so you will never have to program a shot selection on the machine again. The machine can create any sequence of balls in the same drill including drop shots and lobs for a total tennis fitness work out. This new machine coupled with the automated ball machine PickupWall retrieval system that returns balls back to the machine results in virtually continuous play. The ball machine is complimentary after 11:00 am by calling the Pro Shop the day of use. Be sure to mark your Tennis Handbooks and read the event descriptions to save the dates of activities of interest. Resident Tennis members who do not play are always encouraged to register for the dining portion of events so you may catch up with all the tennis news. The Pep Rally, Season Opener, Color War, and Comp Breakfast are all great examples of these opportunities.

Is Tai Chi for You? / KAREN MIKUS fitness supervisor If you would like to improve your balance, relieve stress, enhance mental capacity and concentration, reduce blood pressure, reduce bone loss, help with arthritis pain, improve lower body and leg strength, accumulate energy by releasing endorphins rather than depleting it and promote deep breathing, then Tai Chi is for you. One of the best things about tai chi is its adaptability to every age and fitness level. The balance factor alone should be filling up Tai Chi classes. Tai chi helps improve balance because it targets all the physical components needed to stay upright—leg strength, flexibility, range of motion, and reflexes—all of which tend to decline with age. Interestingly, one of tai chi’s biggest benefits to stability isn’t physical—but emotional. Tai chi also makes you more aware of both your internal body and the external world, giving you a better sense of your position in space, so you won’t be as likely to trip and fall if you try to simultaneously talk to a friend and navigate a busy sidewalk. The Gleneagles Fitness Center offers an excellent Tai Chi class on Mondays from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. We have many members who would benefit from Tai Chi. If you do not attend our class because you are unable to attend at the established time, please give us a call (495-2806) so we might consider a new time depending on the number of members who are interested.

January 2015 9 classes & CLUBS At the Bridge Table by art goldman ♠ ♥ One of our regular duplicate players approached me and complained that whenever the bidding went one spade-two spades-three spades, if she passed, her partner made four, but if she bid four spades, her partner went down one (or more). I understood her complaint as I never liked that bidding sequence. ♦ ♣ Many experienced players prefer a method known as “help suit game tries.” After one spade-two spades the opening bidder bids a suit in which she needs help. i.e. Holding ♠KQ974, ♥5, ♦A865,♣AQ2, opener bids three diamonds. Responder holding ♠A852, ♥843, ♦42, ♣K986 can risk four spades knowing that partner can trump one or more diamond losers in dummy. Holding ♠A852, ♥K98, ♦974, ♣J87, one point more, responder should just pass three spades. What are good holdings in the suit for which opener seeks help? Any singleton or doubleton,especially when holding four trumps, Kx(x), and any holding of five or more cards. Using this method it is not just a matter of high card points. As I write this article, our duplicate games are filling the Strathearn satellite to capacity. As you read this, our games are back in the main clubhouse, our social bridge for both men and ladies are underway and Sunday evening social bridge is back in the clubhouse with Sid Meyers as our host. January will see the start of Keith Hanson’s lesson series. Watch the Bridge Bulletin Boards and The Week-at-a-Glance for registration information. Our Duplicate players will be able to play in the Bernard Grand Memorial Swiss Teams this January in a revised format. The American Contract Bridge League (acbl.org) is a great source of bridge news and information for all players. The ACBL has a campaign underway entitled Play Nice. Whether you play duplicate or social bridge the game will be much more enjoyable if there is less (no) criticism of partner or opponents. Try it, you will like it! That’s all for now. I hope to see you all at the table. BRIDGE Computer Club News by ... The New Year starts new Computer Club Workshops and Programs. Our forward thinking Education Committee and Computer Club Board continue to take giant steps to enrich our everyday digital experiences. Incidentally, our new clubhouse is fantastic and by far Gleneagles is the best place to live in South Florida!

Keep yourself up to date by attending our Meetings, our Workshops and Help Days. For assistance anytime, call our Help Line 637-1231 or visit our website. We recently were cleaning out the computer club storage room and found the original club computer which had been built by Donald Nadler, Marty Hande and Donald Stern in the fall of 1995, using parts they purchased from an “import warehouse” near the Miami Airport. Strange, it still runs and looks like a system you can buy today, except for the floppy disk drive. They installed Windows 98 operating system, an upgrade from the DOS they started with. If only that computer could talk, as it’s lived through a vast technical growth from DOS and Windows 3.1 to present apps or tiles (as shortcuts) and the Cloud. This original system never saw the Cloud and thought the Internet was a dial-up bulletin board. Time flies when you’re having fun! We’re the WiFi generation for sure! 10 January 2015 Duplicate Bridge Games Open Pairs Duplicate Bridge Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, Ladies’ Card Room Ladies’ Duplicate Bridge Wednesdays at 12:30 pm, Waterfall Room Please note new start time Social Bridge Games Men’s Social Bridge Tuesdays at 12:00 pm, Strathearn Ladies’ Social Bridge Wednesdays at 12:00 pm, Strathearn Open Pairs Social Bridge Sundays at 7:00 pm, Ladies’ Card Room AARP SAFE DRIVERS Wednesday, January 7 Wednesday, January 21 9:00 am - 1:00 pm Clunie Satellite Robert Nussbaum 266-8799 COMPUTER CLUB iPhone & Android Features!

Obey Speed Limits: When driving, it’s important to stick to the posted speed limit at all times. 7. Adjust for Weather: When the weather is less than perfect, such as rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions, use extra precautions when driving and follow guidelines for staying safe in the particular situation you are facing. 8. Be Predictable: Don’t make sudden stops or lane changes. Instead, take care to ensure that other drivers are likely to be able to predict your actions to maximize safety. 9. Never Drive Under the Influence: It’s essential to avoid operating a vehicle if you have been drinking, taking certain types of prescription or non-prescription drugs, or are otherwise impaired. 10. Yield Right of Way: When other drivers has the right of way, be sure to yield to them. Also, don’t make the mistake of assuming that everyone else will yield to you when they should. Regardless of who has the right to go, yield if it seems that the other driver may not be observing standard practices for yielding. 11. Know Where You Are Going: Plan your travel route ahead of time so that you aren't struggling to figure out where to go while you are operating a motorized vehicle. 12. Avoid Distractions: Sending text messages isn’t the only dangerous distraction that drivers need to avoid while operating a vehicle. Changing CDs, using cell phones, eating, and interacting with passengers are just a few examples of the types of distractions that you should take care to avoid when driving. 13. Use Headlights: Headlights aren’t just necessary at night. When you are driving in the rain or fog, turning on your headlights can play an important role in keeping you and those around you safe on the road. Mah Jongg & Canasta Get Together 14. Share the Road: Remember that you are not the only driver on the road. All drivers deserve to be treated with respect. If you are interested in finding a Mah Jongg or Canasta game, be sure to attend our Mah Jongg & Canasta Players Get-Together. Contact Kristen Laraia at 637-1201 for more information. 15. Proper Vehicle Maintenance: Take care to ensure that your automobile stays in good working condition. This includes keeping fluids topped off, performing schedule engine maintenance, making certain tires have plenty of air, and ensuring that the vehicle’s exterior lights are functional at all times.
