A MESSAGE FROM
Rick Benninghove
Welcome to The Resort at Longboat Key Club! As we enter into a brand
new year, we are proud of the awards we earned this past year, being
named a Travel + Leisure “500 World’s Best Hotel,” a Condé Nast “Top
40 Florida Hotel”, #8 on Tennis Resorts Online “Top 100 Tennis Resorts
and Camps, Worldwide” and a AAA Four-Diamond Award winner for
the 31st consecutive year. We were also the recipient of “Trip Advisor’s
“Certificate of Excellence.” Longboat Key Club Moorings, our marina
located at the Harbourside area of our resort, received the “Florida
Clean Marina” designation for the 12th year. We are very proud of
the awards we have earned and are honored that you have chosen to
stay with us and experience the wonders of the Resort for yourself.
With the full spectrum of amenities we have to offer, there is always
something exciting to explore once you arrive.
If golf is your game of choice, our Links on Longboat and Harbourside
courses will have you playing your best game ever. Should you desire
to take a lesson with one of our pros or simply enjoy some time
practicing on the driving range, I am confident you will enjoy the time
spent on two of the most renowned courses in the area.
Our Tennis Gardens offers clinics, match-play and private or semiprivate lessons seven days a week. Tennis is complimentary for our
guests, so feel free to grab your racquet or borrow one of ours and
enjoy a few hours of quality court time.
Staying in shape while you are away has never been easier! Daily classes
at our Mind & Motion Studio, our well-equipped and professionally
staffed Fitness Center and exceptional wellness offerings are wonderful
ways to make working out easy and fun.
From bathing suits to blazers, savor distinctive cuisine in our eight onsite restaurants and lounges offering casual to fine dining throughout
the week. Please check with the Concierge regarding dining options
and hours of operation during your stay.
For a unique outdoor adventure or a memorable way to celebrate a
special occasion be sure to explore our Marina to enjoy an afternoon
along our beautiful Gulf of Mexico or a sunset cruise on Sarasota Bay.
The Spa offers a full menu of island-inspired services as well as
manicures and pedicures. Specialty massages for active and sportsminded individuals are also available to help relieve tired muscles
after a day on the golf course or tennis courts. Be sure to schedule
some time to relax, unwind and rejuvenate while you are here.
For the younger set, our Camp Loggerhead offers a fun-filled schedule
of activities for children ages 5 to 12. It is a great way for them to make
new friends and participate in hula-hoop contests, Beach Walks and
Sea Turtle Talks or Fun & Crafts while you relax and enjoy some quiet
time for yourself.
If I can be of service please feel free to contact me directly, and thank
you for choosing to be our guest.

Saving Lives. Saving The Planet. Helping The Needy.
In just five years, with more than 5 million pounds of inbound product collected, Clean
the World has processed and distributed more than 85% of the collected product
with outbound trucks, pallets and boxes of product daily! On behalf of those receiving
the soap and bottled amenities that we deliver, we applaud Clean the World Hotel
Partners and all who are using some method to recycle these desperately needed
hygiene products.
®
Clean the World and its generous Hospitality Partners have launched a global hygiene revolution centered on a
simple idea: recycling soap and saving lives.
“According to the World Health Organization, a significant number of children under the age of 5 could be
saved with access to bar soap and hygiene education.”

Links on Longboat
Harbourside Courses
Redesigned by Ron Garl in 2014 The
Links on Longboat (formerly Islandside)
has many characteristics of a seaside
links course. Ocean breezes, expansive
natural areas and big greens create an
incredible golfing experience. Links on
Longboat stretches out to 6,748 yards
from end to end with five sets of tees to
accommodate any level of play. The Par
71 layout demands accuracy off the tee.
Most holes feature small waterways
that run along one side of the fairway to
force you into a decision on placement
validating
the
original
“watery
challenge” description. Once you have
driven your ball in a good fairway
position that is where the fun begins. Our
new Ron Garl design challenges your
iron play but also does not penalize you
for an errant shot. Fewer bunkers and
more grassed collection areas allow
the golfer to have an easy pitch to the
hole if you have missed the green. Each
green has been completely redesigned
with Ron’s creative imagination and all
18 holes have been re-grassed with the
superior, salt tolerant Platinum Paspalum
grass. In addition to the beauty of the
natural wildlife seen on a daily basis,
over 5,000 Palm trees along with pink
and white Oleanders line the Links
on Longboat.
Harbourside is located three miles north of the Links on Longboat
and is commonly known as “the Member’s course” here at the Club.
Harbourside consists of three nines that make up three distinctive
eighteen hole options. All three nines vary in characteristics but all
pose a great challenge when deciding which to play.

The Red Hawk was recently redesigned by architect Ron Garl
who challenges the golfer with many risk and reward opportunities.
More open and forgiving than the White Egret, this nine has water
that plays into many shots. The Red Hawk measures 3,323 and this
past season the entire nine was re-sodded with the ever popular
Platinum Paspalum grass. This new playing surface gives you a great
lie every time and makes the game a pleasure to play.

The final nine at Harbourside is our famous “Blue Heron” measuring
3,411 yards—our signature nine of all 45 holes here at Longboat Key
Club. This nine was redesigned in 2005 and this year re-sodded
with the new Platinum Paspalum grass as well. This nine boarders
the Sarasota Bay with breathtaking views at every turn. It contains
nine “signature” holes and challenges every part of your game.Treelined fairways and swirling winds put a premium on shot-making
and course strategy. Courses designed by Willard Byrd:

Harbourside opened for play in 1982. Many of the holes border
the Sarasota Bay and our own Longboat Key Club Moorings which
makes for a beautiful setting. The White Egret nine measures 3,426
yards and has the least amount of water of the three nines. Don’t
let the lack of water on this nine fool you. Its difficulty is found in
tight fairways which demands accuracy off the tee. Once you’ve
positioned yourself correctly, big inviting greens give you plenty of
target to aim at.
The Red Hawk - 3,323yards
The Blue Heron - 3,401 yards
The White Egret - 3,426 yards
Enjoy five sets of tees on all three nines.

S- -R-E-T-C-H
The Fountain of Youth has always been
elusive and never clearly defined, but
following a few simple guidelines to
maintain flexibility and stamina, along with
a daily s-t-r-e-t-c-h, will keep your personal
fountains of youth glowing within for years
to come! Stretching releases dopamine
which helps you feel happier and more
positive and benefits daily habits such as
eating, sleeping and socializing. Stretching
is important at any age – and can keep you
limber for a lifetime. Balance, improved
posture, a clearer mind, lessened pain
and increased energy levels are just a few
pluses that can be achieved from a daily 10
minutes stretch warm-up.
Allowing you to perform at peak
performance on the golf course, tennis
courts, running, swimming or your sport
of choice, this is the optimal exercise for
achieving successful outcomes on your
scorecards. Warm up with a great stretching
routine every day and you will begin to
notice results in a timely manner.
And it does not need to be boring by any
means! Use your balance balls, yoga mats,
isometric bands or anything that catches
your interest to incorporate into your
routine. Make it fun, make it simple and
you will make it easy for yourself to do it
on a daily basis.
It is important not to bounce during
a stretch–keep the motion fluid and
sustained as the fibers in your muscles
elongate naturally. Bouncing and abrupt
movements can cause muscle fibers to
tear. They are elastic by nature and need to
unwind slowly, just as it took a while for
them to become tightened. Take caution
when stretching cold muscles–a warm-up
is vital to bring blood flow and nutrients
14
RESORT EXPERIENCE
into the muscle tissues. Breathing naturally
is recommended. Balance out your routine
by switching your focus to alternating
muscle groups. For instance, if you stretch
the front thigh muscles pay attention to the
opposing musculature in the back of your
legs. If you are plagued by old injuries make
sure to check with a physician before doing
anything too strenuous and make sure to
warm up cold muscles before participating
in a demanding exercise routine.
And always remember, what is right for
you might not be the exact fit for another
person so pay attention to your responses
and honor your body’s signals. If it hurts,
you are pushing your body too hard. There
is a big difference between the “burn” we
feel from exercise and actual pain. If you
feel any discomfort realign and reevaluate
your movements and adjust to a routine
that is right for you.
The Mind & Motion fitness Schedule is
packed with opportunities to integrate
stretching into your exercise routine. Golf
Stretch, Stretch on the Go, Stretchable You,
Spin™ and Stretch and Yoga in all its forms
are perfect opportunities offered throughout
the week right here at the Fitness Center.
A new addition to the Club this year
is the Active Isolated Stretch performed
by Alisa Zavalis. This is a one-on-one
personal training session that utilizes a
specific method of effective, dynamic,
facilitated stretching that elongates the
muscles and promotes fascial release. This
improves fitness, athletic performance,
circulation and increases the elasticity of
the muscles, joints and fascia. It also helps
to reprogram the brain and enables those
with injuries to recover more quickly.

Whether a novice or a seasoned player– there is no
better way to spend a sunny afternoon under the oaks!
What better way to pass a leisurely afternoon than
enjoying the company of good friends, sipping cocktails
while immersing yourself in the amazing vista of Sarasota
Bay at the marina and engaging in friendly competition
over a game of bocce! There is no better lawn game that
complements the leisurely pace of a sunny Florida day
than this ancient game whose modern day adaptation
most closely resembles bowling. Bocce (or bocci) is a
ball sport belonging to the boules sport family closely
related to bowls and pétanque. They all have a common
ancestry to ancient games played in the Roman Empire
and it has developed into its present form in Italy where
the name bocce is the plural form of the Italian word
boccia, which means “bowl.”
Our bocce court is located directly behind the Ship’s
Store at Longboat Key Club Moorings and is available
for all Members to enjoy. The picnic-like atmosphere
under the oaks and the ambiance of being surrounded
by the hundreds of beautiful yachts and sailboats makes
for a relaxing interlude on a sunny day or a fun way to
get a little exercise in before indulging in a great woodoven pizza and a fine Italian wine dinner at Portofino
Ristorante.
The game is simple and can be very strategic for those
that become masters of the game. Special “throws” and
unique hand acrobatics are frequently put into play
which can become as dramatic and humorous as it is
fun. Here are a few tips that will set you on the path to
success!
A regulation bocce court is 76 feet long and 10 feet wide
and has a foul line which is 10 feet from the throwing
end of the court. This is where the “pallina” or small ball
will be thrown from, towards the opposing end of the
court. Teams between two to four players each are each
allocated four balls, divided equally among the players.
The object of the game is to score 16 points by getting
your balls as close to the “pallina” as possible without
touching it. Players take turns throwing the larger
balls, “boccia,” until one of the balls stops closer to the
“pallina” than the starting player’s ball.
If no one throws a ball closer than the original team’s
attempt, the starting team tries to outdo its first play.
Players continue on with rounds in this fashion until
26
RESORT EXPERIENCE
all eight balls have been thrown.
The team with the closest ball gets
one point for each of its balls that
are closest to the “pallina.” If the
two teams’ closest balls are an equal distance from the “pallina” no
points are awarded and the competition continues!
After all eight balls have been thrown and appropriate points have
been awarded, it is time to move on to another round or “frame”
with the scoring team throwing the first ball. If no team previously
scored the team that threw the “pallina” last begins the frame.
Play as many frames as you like and take as long as you want to
achieve the 16 points needed to claim victory. And, if someone
forgets to keep score, no one is the wiser.
Have fun, relax, enjoy. Please call the Ship’s Store at 941383-8383 to reserve the court for you and your guests.

A Cosmic Collision of Sweet and Heat
Chocolate and Chiles
As forces in nature collide and connect,
so too does the pairing of chocolate
and chiles, an historically prominent
combination of ingredients used among
the Mesoamerican peoples as far back as
4,000 BC. The Aztecs were among the
first to create the concoction, a bitter and
spicy drink called xocolatl, renowned
for its ability to fight fatigue and impart
stamina. Associated with Xochiquetzal,
the goddess of fertility, chocolate was
consumed by Mesoamerican cultures
on a daily basis. Seasoned with vanilla
bean, chile peppers and achiote it had
affects similar to what we experience
with caffeine. Xocolatl was really the
“coffee” of its day. Traditional Mexican
mole combines the two ingredients to
create a one-of-a-kind sauce. The trick
is to keep the two ingredients balanced,
so one does not overpower the other.
Give yourself, and someone you love, a
little delicious indulgence this Valentine’s
Day. Chocolate and chile is not only a
decadent and fun diversion, it is also a
heart healthy treat. Spice up recipes with
some Chocolate and Chile variations
and see what response you get – your
friends and family will enjoy the fact
that they are being “seduced” by savory
meals with hints of chocolate and warm,
peppery spice. The complex flavors will
add a real “kick” to your next meal.
-Sandra Rios, Director of Communications

RESORT EXPERIENCE
Cooking with
Chocolate and Chiles
Mix ground coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder
and dried, chopped chiles to make a dry rub for
grilling meat.
Add cacao nibs and a few chile flakes to a green
salad for a crunchy, healthy snack.
Sprinkle crushed cacao nibs mixed with dried
chile flakes over puréed vegetable soups, such as
cauliflower and parsnip.
If you are ambitious and make pasta from scratch,
add unsweetened cocoa powder to the dough for
a delightful variation, add a few sprinkles of chile
on top.
For the breakfast bunch, take sliced, wholegrain bagels, cover with peanut butter and sliced
bananas and sprinkle at touch of unsweetened
cocoa powder on top, chiles optional.
