Thorpe, General Manager Dear Members, September rolls around once again. Where has the summer gone? While we had plenty of projects we were able to complete in August, it is always the unanticipated things that make life interesting. It seems that when the weather is at its hottest, the A/C goes out and of course Murphy’s Law requires us to deal with it. By the time you read this we will have replaced portions of at least seven different units between the sites and have identified more that we need to include next year before the summer comes. While the summer thunderstorms haven’t revealed any serious leaks in our roof, we have had a few leaks in our water pipes. The proximity to the ocean here at the Links wreaks havoc on copper pipes and we will be replacing some, but need to identify other areas where we might have an issue. Our Chief Engineer would call this type of ongoing problem “job security”, but we work really hard to keep the building as fresh as possible for your enjoyment, so we find these things to be opportunities to make improvements. If you look in our Lobby, The Boardroom Magazine has awarded your club its second “Distinguished Emerald Club of the World” award and a nice framed medallion is on display. Interesting to note that while the program has only been in existence three years, your club was selected to receive this honor based on the member experience our members enjoy. For me it means that we have dedicated Department Heads who work really hard to make what we have the best it can be. Are we perfect? NO, but we are working on constant improvement! So wherever you are, I hope you are having a great day! Jesse SUMMER DINING HOURS ...

Holiday Shopping Boutique November 18 Dunescape Page 4 Dining & Special Events Kitchen Views: What is Cookin? Herbs & Spices Many members of our Club ask what they should do with the abundance of herbs and Spices from their gardens this time of year. This discussion addresses several options, from storage, to drying, and the use for herbs and spices. Herbs: Are the leafy parts of the plants. The American Trade Association reported that each American consumed nearly four pounds of herbs and spices last year, doubling from 20 years ago. Spices: are aromatic seasonings derived from the bark, buds, seeds, or stems of plants. Issa Moussa, C.E.C. H.O.F , Executive Chef Cultivation: To keep your herbs producing for a longer period, clip off any flower buds before they bloom. This allows the plant continued growth, which means more herbs. Drying herb leaves, can be done on an herb rack or on a window screen in a dry, dark place, because sunlight will leach nutrients from the herbs. Freezing Herbs: Chop the herbs into the desired size and place into an ice cube tray. Add enough water to cover the herbs and freeze. Herb Storage: Dried herbs are best to store them in an airtight container for up to six month; they can be stored in the refrigerator for a little longer. Ground or crushed Herbs and Spices in a coffee grinder as needed. To crush herbs, for example, place herbs in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin, or mortar and pestle etc. Herb Flavored Food: brush the Herb flavored oil directly on meat, chicken or fish: for example, simmering rosemary or mint with a little bit of oil; it can be brushed on lamb chops before grilling. Basil-flavored oil will also make a flavorful Salmon. Shrimp brushed with olive oil flavored with Tarragon, and garlic can be tasty, chicken with thyme or oregano and so on. Food will absorb moisture and seasoning when it is hot. When cooking with fresh herbs, fresh herbs are not as concentrated as dried herbs. While more fresh herbs are needed to achieve the same strength of flavor, fresh herbs have of course a fresher flavor. Herbs with tough leaves, such as rosemary, sage, etc. it can be added at any point during the cooking process. Flavors will mellow when herbs are added at the beginning of cooking. Herbs with soft leaves such as parsley, tarragon, basil, cilantro, etc, will have a brighter green color if they are added at the end of the cooking process, perhaps minutes before serving time. Some of our club members grow their own herbs and share their excess with us, and we use them in the kitchen. The Links gardeners are preparing the grounds by the golf shop, for growing our own herbs that will be completed by winter. Have a craving for something out of the ordinary? Maybe a rack of lamb, veal chop, or something a little more exotic….Chef Moussa & the culinary staff at Hammock Dunes would be happy to prepare a specialty meal for you at the Club. They do require at least 48 hours notice, but the more notice the better! Contact Crystal to make your arrangements by e-mail at Chill@hammockdunesclub.com Dunescape Page 5 Golf News News from the Golf Shop... HDLGA News... Fall is getting closer and we are excited about the upcoming season. I have a few competitive events of which I would like to make you aware. 18 Holers Submitted by Geri Neely, HDLGA Vice President The ever-popular Hammock Dunes Ryder Cup will be held on September 11, 12 and 13. The event kicks off with a pairings party on the evening of Friday, September 11. Two teams will be chosen from among those entered to compete for the 2015 Cup. The Red Team will be captained by Director of Golf Brad Myers and the Blue Team will be captained by First Assistant Roman O’Rourke. Sign-up today as this event will fill quickly. Ladies, don’t forget to sign up for the 3rd Annual HDLGA Invitational, to be held on September 29 and 30. Enrollment is limited to the first 88 players and sign-up sheets are in the golf shops. The golf shop will pair singles and twosomes if necessary to make additional teams. The $100 entry fee should be made payable to “Hammock Dunes Club” and can be mailed or dropped off to Geri Neely, 13 San Gabriel Lane, Palm Coast, Florida 32137.

As the summer starts to fade and we see fall on the horizon, we hope that you used the offseason for game improvement. We also hope that you are starting to get as excited as we are about the beginning of the upcoming season. If you don’t feel that you are reaching your playing goals or that you want to create a plan for improvement, then we would love to help you with that. Please let any of our professionals know and we will work with you setting your goals, scheduling the appropriate instruction time to reach them, working on a practice routine that would develop your skills or any equipment deficiencies that may be holding you back. We hope to see you soon. Brad Myers, PGA, CCM - Director of Golf Dunescape page 6 The King & 3 Queens held on August 19 was once again a big success.

JEFF SANDBURG - shot his best round...74 from the white tees at the Creek Course TERRY BURD - scored an eagle at the Links Course on #3 from the white tees BOB REID - scored an eagle on #15 hole at Links Course from the white tees DIANE STENCLIK - shot her best round...76 from the tan tees at the Creek Course DON NEWSOME - Hole in One on #17 at the Links Course from the blue tees Clippings from the Green Links Course - The golf course is healing well after aerification last month. Even though the greens were only vented with the ¼” tines, they were heavily verticut and topdressed to help ensure maximum health for the season. Creek Course - The greens at the Creek are as good as I can remember. They have a good root system and have rolled pretty consistent for most of the summer. The fairways have good color and roll and should be totally healed by the beginning of this month. The traps are holding their own as we seem to have missed most of the heavy downpours last month. Clubhouses - You will notice a lot of improvements at both clubhouses as we began last month re-landscaping around them. At the Creek , we finally have some color which has been missing forever, and the Links is really looking good as Mike Mangaroo and his crew have done a lot of planting and sodding this summer. Projects - Sod projects are starting to wind down as we will be starting to lose growing days later this month. There are very few areas left at the Links with #13 being the biggest one and at the Creek, we will be working on #14, #17, #18 and #15. ~Matt Howes, Director of Agronomy HDLGA Dunes Cup in October Sign up with a partner with similar handicaps (10 stroke differential) at the Links Golf Shop on Wednesday September 9. Matches will start on Wednesday, October 14 and will be played on all Wednesdays, Ladies Day, at the designated courses. Each team will progress in the tournament with a win of a match, once you lose a match the tournament is over. Every player should realize that they could be playing five Wednesdays in succession until the Tournament is finished, November 11. If it rains on a Wednesday Ladies Day, the teams must schedule their own matches and the matches need to be completed before the following Wednesday. Failure to complete a match will result in a forfeit. All teams will play at a 90% handicap.

Dunescape page 11 Shape Up Dunes Life Fitness Center Undercover Exercises Do you ever wake up at night and feel like stretching? I do that a lot and it helps me get back to sleep. Undercover exercises are a gentle way to start your day or end your day. Performed in the warmth of your own bed. The exercises are designed to help you wake up, remove the kinks, and oxygenate your blood. Undercover exercises are to be done slowly while lying on your back. If you are feeling particularly stiff, you might choose to take a warm shower before doing the exercise. You may also enjoy these undercover exercises at the end of the day to prepare for a good night's sleep. It will help to release lingering tensions as you stretch and breathe. 1. Rotate your head from side to side - nice and slowly. 2. Rotate your eyes first left, then right, squint and then relax. 3. Tighten, then relax the muscles of your face. 4. Wrap your arms around one knee and bring it in toward our chest. Breathe while relaxing your lower back. Repeat with the other knee. 5. Now, draw both knees to your chest, rotating your ankles in ever-widening circles. Make sure you circle to the right and left. 6. With both arms in the air, rotate your wrists slowly right and left. 7. Extend your arms above your head one at a time and then both together. Take nice big breaths in and exhale and let it out. Relax. 8. Lengthen your legs.....one at a time and gently flex and point your toes while gently holding the stretch. 9. Now, bend both knees and slowly open them while your feet come together......hold while you stretch your inner thighs. Relax and breathe. 10.Grab under your right knee and bring your leg up toward the ceiling until you have a gentle tightness. Relax and let it stretch your hamstrings. Repeat with the other leg keeping the other knee bent unless you are extremely flexible. After you finish, take a moment to just relax your entire body. Start relaxing your face, your shoulders, your chest and back, relax your legs and feet. Take a nice big deep breath as you inhale thru your nose and relax as you exhale out your mouth. Get rid of all the tension in your body and let go of your pain and stiffness. Just relax. When you get up I hope you feel ready for a new day or relaxed enough to fall asleep.

For more information, contact Dee Dee at darla.turlington@gmail.com or 386-283-4604. Dunescape page 15 News & Notes Audubon Corner... The armadillo is a really strange looking mammal. The only species found in the United States is the Nine-Banded Armadillo. Although they look bald they have wiry hairs on their sides and tummy. These hairs, curb feelers, help them to find food as their eye sight is very bad and they mostly forage at night. They are insectivores….dieting primarily on insects with an occasional worm, spider, snake or frog thrown in. They only live where the soil is soft as they love to dig. Most water is no obstacle for them to cross as they can hold their breath for up to six minutes. If shallow they “walk” along the bottom to the other side or if deep water they inflate their stomach with air and float across. Contrary to popular belief most armadillos cannot roll up into a completely closed ball. Their “armor”, hardened overlapping sections of a fingernail like substance, gives them a pleated look and does help to protect them from predators. When startled they tend to jump straight up into the air, 3 to 4 feet, that is the main reason so many are killed on the roads as they are small enough for cars to pass over. They can live up to 20 years in the wild. Thanks for sharing! Marge Rooyakkers Petmom07@cfl.rr.com - 246-3767 New Members Website The Club's new website is up and running.
