GLENEAGLES COUNTRY CLUB NEWSLETTER
OCTOBER 2013
“The serve
was invented
so that the net
could play.”
– Bill Cosby
from the Board & Management
Dear Members,
Ralph Winer
bog president
Kraig Spina
general
manager
We are pleased to report that the Club continues to experience a very
high volume of real estate transactions, and we are expecting the 2012-2013
number to be in excess of 80 sales closed before the end of the fiscal year on
October 31. This makes 2012-2013 the best fiscal year in the most recent ten
years. We extend a warm welcome to all of the new families that have joined
our fine Club, approximately 25% of whom have come from Palm Beach,
Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties!
The planning for the Clubhouse Renovation is progressing well. In July,
Image Design presented concepts for Exterior and Interior Architecture
and building-attached finishes. In attendance for the presentation were:
Weitz Construction, Leo Daly Architects, the Common Area Maintenance
Committee Members, Gleneagles Management Staff and The Board of
Governors. The composition of the attendees allows for a diverse and
representative cross section of our entire membership as well as those
Gleneagles Staff that will ensure the operational needs are met during this
clubhouse renovation.
The next presentation will take place in October and will address
furnishings and fabrics in addition to any refinement of the previous
architectural and finish elements.
The final presentation in January 2014 will address sample chairs and
any remaining design elements to be confirmed prior to the onset of
construction.
In the month of October, the Board and Management staff will begin
Roundtable meetings. The meetings encourage member communication as
well as providing a forum for the Board and Staff to update our members
on the new and exciting happenings around your Club. Please take time
to attend one of these meetings. You may verify available dates with Varto
Hairanian by calling 498-3606 ext. 131 or e-mail to [email protected].
The Gleneagles staff is preparing the 2013/2014 operational and capital
budgets for presentation to the Budget and Finance Committee and the
Board of Governors for their consideration and review on October 2-4.
Each department head will present his or her individual budget, with
supporting documentation including the methodology and logic. The
Budget & Finance Committee and Board will then ask questions, discuss
issues, and make recommendations with the department heads. After each
department has had an opportunity to present their respective budgets, the
Budget & Finance committee will deliberate and either approve or make
additional recommendations or adjustments to the proposed budget for
management and the Board to consider. The Board will then meet to review
the Budget & Finance Committee recommendations, and if necessary, make
some of their own. Finally, they will vote to accept the budget and ratify
the new dues structure for the 2013/2014 fiscal year at the October board
meeting. The results will then be communicated to the membership in a
dues brochure to be mailed with the October monthly billing statements.
You have by now received a cover letter and packet from Devcon Security.
Gleneagles Country Club entered into an agreement with Devcon Security
in September 2013. This new agreement provides 24/7 monitoring of the
security systems in the residences within Gleneagles. The service will provide
state of the art oversight by Devcon Security. Along with the monitoring,
Gleneagles has fortified our perimeter security as well, allowing for even
better protection to your homes. Gleneagles Country Club’s G4S Security
Team will be dual monitoring all residents’ alarm systems and will continue
to be the first responders in the event of an alarm activation.
The Social Calendar should be arriving to your home within the first few
weeks of October, and we are sure that you will enjoy the great schedule of
events and activities that will keep you busy through the upcoming season!
Respectfully yours,
Ralph Winer, President
Kraig Spina, General Manager

Food for thought...
It’s that time of year again where we start gearing
up for another fun filled season. This summer has
been a huge success, and the food and beverage staff
has stayed busy due to the great member participation.
Thank you for supporting your Club.
For those of you who have been around the Club
the last couple of months, you will have noticed a new
addition to our management team. Michael Souza
joined us as the new Dining Room Supervisor. He was
previously with Bimini Twist Restaurant for six years,
and is very excited to be part of the Gleneagles team
and looking forward to meeting all of the members. Be
Nick Jolly
sure to wish him well.
clubhouse
We are looking forward to our South African staff
manager
returning for the season in November. They will be
joined by a group from Ireland this year, something new! So brush up
on your Irish accent and welcome them to Gleneagles.
We have a lot going on in October, including two Pub Nights on
October 1 and 15, and Football Sunday will return on October 6. On
Saturday, October 12, we are hosting the Chef’s Chophouse. This is
always a very busy night so get your reservations in early. Along with
the Seafood Shanty and Around The World Buffets, we are ending the
month with the very popular Halloween Prime Rib Buffet and costume
contest. The members go all out on this night and we have many winners!
We will continue to have Kitchen Tours as long as the demand is
there. We have three scheduled for October, and due to the limited
number we can accommodate, they fill up quickly.
We would like to remind you as the 2013/14 season fast approaches,
so does the season dress code. Please familiarize yourself with this as it
takes effect November 1.
As your summer travels wind down and you return to Gleneagles,
keep in mind that we welcome your comments and suggestions and
again thank you for supporting the Club.
Cheers! Nick

Membership Sales Update
At the time of printing, the Membership Office has processed 69
membership sales with 11 more transactions expected to close before
October 31, 2013. This is the best year for membership sales since 20022003! We know that the most effective way to reach new members is
through word of mouth and referrals from our existing members! Thank
you for recommending Gleneagles to your friends!
Update your Information for the Membership Directory
Plans are being finalized for a new Membership Directory! One of the
growing pains of getting so many new members is that our Membership
Directory very quickly becomes out of date. All members should expect
to receive a copy of their directory listing in the mail in early October.
If the information is correct, please initial the postcard and return it to
the Club as soon as possible. If the information is not correct, please
correct it and return the postcard to the Club before October 25, 2013.
It is very important that we receive your response and/or any corrections
requested. Remember, the most current Member info is always online!
Stay & Play Update
Although we are still temporarily without a Stay & Play condo available
for prospective members to ‘stay’ within Gleneagles, we have made some
modifications to our existing program and we are still organizing visits
for prospective members to experience our lifestyle. Prospects are still
being encouraged to come to town and experience our Club, however,
they will need to find a hotel or friend’s home to stay in while they are in
town. We are fortunate to have a relationship with the Hilton Suites in
for our single members:
gleneagles solos
Gleneagles is home to a very active Solos Group at the
Club, which plans social events and trips geared specifically
for single people! Events planned for 2013-2014 include a
membership dinner at the Club, organized trips to cultural
places of interest and theaters, interclub solos events at
neighboring country clubs, and more! Contact: Cynthia
Goldberg 498-4237 or Pat Rosman 495-4906.

Did you know that the Gleneagles Golf & Tennis Staff

outside our gates: ann norton gardens
Have you visited the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in Palm Beach? You can
treat yourself to a walk around the beautiful gardens for just $7.00 a person
(open Wed-Sun 10:00 am - 4:00 pm). The silent, mysterious forms, built over a
period of 15 years, were intended to be discovered as surprises amid the dense,
jungle-like vegetation. They may resonate with reference to art of the past, to
far-distant lands, but they are modern and timeless: unique to this artist’s vision.
It is a rare gift to experience the union of this mysterious and powerful art and
the natural landscape. Other points of interest at the gardens include the Rare
Palm collection with over 300 rare palm species, and the historic home which
was re-designed in 1934 by Palm Beach Architect Marion Sims Wyeth and added
to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The Ann Norton Sculpture
Gardens are located about 35 minutes north of the Club in West Palm Beach.

accept a golf equipment donation
by members of Gleneagles Country
Club. Gleneagles Golf professionals
Marcus Schnellenberger and Jason
Hrynkiw dropped off approximately 200 golf clubs and several
golf bags!
The First Tee of the Palm Beaches is always looking for donations of
quality golf clubs and bags. They distribute the clubs to young people
that cannot afford their own set or sell them to generate funds to offset
the purchase of junior clubs or to conduct their programming.

Hello Gleneagles Golf Members!
It is that time of the year to get ready for a winter season of golf and
fun. The golf staff hopes that everyone has enjoyed their summer, and that
you’re getting that itch to come back and jump into an exciting 2013-2014
season. The schedule for golf looks great and we will make sure you stay
busy playing and shopping in the Golf Shop with this year’s new lines of
merchandise.
The summer leagues have been fun and our teams did a great
job representing our Club. The opening days will take place in early
November,so you have a little time to get warmed up!
The golf courses look great and the work that was done this summer by
Jason Bagwell and his team will set the stage for great playing conditions
this season, even with all of the rain that fell through the months of May,
June and July.
Please continue to enjoy the reciprocal clubs, as most of them go
through the month of October. Let us know in the Golf Shop and we can
set you up. We are finalizing our scorecard to make it smaller, but it will
still have all of the information needed and the local rules as well. Look
for the online sign up for our Halloween couples event, which is always a
big success, so don’t miss it! If you have any questions, always call the Golf
Shop! We are here for you. See you soon!
In the Golf Shop
Brett Foti retail manager
October in the Golf Shop will be filled with new merchandise!
Collections for men are arriving from Golfino, Nike, FootJoy, Ashworth,
Ogio and Callaway. Collections for the ladies will also be arriving from
Tail, EP Pro, Golfino, Nike and Jamie Sadock. New colors to watch out
for this Fall are Boysenberry, Bark, Gamma Blue, Heather Grey, Lime,
Enamel Blue and Burgundy. Mixing prints and patterns in
the same outfit is a trend as well. If that’s not your cup of
tea, be on the look out for something other than your
traditional stripe and solid golf shirts, you will see paisley,
checks, plaids and many different abstract designs! Also,
as a reminder, all Golf Shop credit must be spent
before October 31. Let us know if you need any
assistance figuring out how to spend it, we will be
happy to offer a few suggestions or even order
something specific we may not have already.

Handicap Flags marcus schnellenberger pga, asst golf pro
As we approach the 2013-2014 golf season, we need to ensure that all
handicap flag users renew their existing handicap flag status. In order to
maintain your golf cart handicap flag privileges, you must bring your state
issued handicap placard along with your driver’s license to the Golf Shop
and fill out the appropriate paperwork.
This is just a reminder that you can use the Gleneagles website to sign
up for our monthly couples events, as well as making tee times. If you have
any issues signing in to your account, please let me know. I would be more
than happy to assist you.
Summer went by so quickly, and I am looking forward to a great
upcoming season. If there is anything you need pertaining to golf, please
let me know.
Greetings!
ray myers outside operations supervisor
First, I would like to say that I hope all of our members had a great
summer. As you are reading this, most of you are making your plans for
your return to Gleneagles. I wish you all safe travels and look forward to
seeing you! Please feel free to contact the Golf Shop at 496-1333, or the
bag room at 637-1207 if you need anything or have any questions. I’m
really excited for the new season to be here and I am looking forward to
another great year at Gleneagles.
GOLF GUEST POLICY Effective October 1, 2013.
As it is reflected in the Gleneagles Country Club Rules and Regulations
(January 2013 supplement, Golf Rules & Regulations #10), “Guests may
not play more than once per month, regardless of host.” This does not
include immediate family guests with an immediate family guest card and
registered house guests with a valid house guest identification card. In
an effort to enforce this policy while preventing uncomfortable situations,
if the golf shop determines that your guest has played within the past
month, you will be granted a 1-time exception and allowed to play with
your guest subject to a $25.00 penalty in addition to the prevailing guest
fee(s). If the same guest comes out to play a 3rd time within a month,
this guest will be turned away and the offending member(s) will receive
a letter for violation of club policy. Thank you for understanding and
cooperating with this policy.
Gleneagles Country Club
This month’s tips are a few
things that may help you for the
up coming season:
1. Practice Time – split it up!
A little full swing, a little
putting, and a little chipping.
Good stuff that only takes
20 minutes.
2. Getting used to Florida grass
again – it is different from
the Northern grass. It grabs
the ball and clubface more,
so you must swing through it
more. Trust your swing.
3. Don’t forget about the wind!
It blows pretty good here,
and every 10 miles an hour
of wind can hurt or help you
by 10 yards. If you are 150
yards away and the wind is
blowing in your face, now
the distance will play like
160 yards.
4. Putting – remember, work
more on speed and this will
help a lot, versus worrying
about the line. – Joe
a note from
golf course maintenance
The Victory Course will be
closed through October 12.

Racquet Talk
Mike Puc, uspta director of tennis & fitness
The “Season” is almost here, and the tennis
department is ready! The Calendar of Events is
the genesis of activity and we have tweaked our
dynamic social offerings with something for everyone!
Besides a hard copy of the calendar that is available in the Pro Shop,
the Gleneagles web site (www.gleneagles.cc) has all the events dates and
information listed to assist you in planning your year.
As a result of feedback received in our survey, we have added monthly
morning men’s, women’s, and mixed round robins with the pros so you
may break from your regular group to mingle and play with new people.
Complimentary refreshments will be served.
We encourage all tennis members to join us for the dining portions
of our mixers since the camaraderie during the dining portion is half
the fun! To encourage you to participate in our events even more, we are
inviting house guests of resident tennis members and spouses of annual
members to join us for most of these events for a nominal guest fee.
Check each registration flyer for details.
It seems like tennis is always organizing leagues, and this year is no
exception. Gleneagles is entered in a “Queen” and “Princess” division
of Golden Girls beginning October 14 as well as the 55 Love league on
November 1, and Mixed league on October 6. The largest participation
of members is in the Senior League, which begins January 6 for women
and January 9 for men. We typically field 4 men’s and 6 women’s teams
for this league. Invitations and information to participate in the senior
league will be e-mailed October 1.
October Days of Wine and
Roses by TAIL, of course
Ruth Barnett pro shop manager
October is the month for wine and
roses, and Tail supplies the wine tones
for early fall wear on the tennis courts.
Tail’s new trendy look for tops features
sexy silver crackle inserts to match up
with the wine-toned or silver crackle
skirts. You’ll be the talk of the town in
this ‘naughty but nice’ collection.
As for the roses, Tail’s latest
fashion hit to be unveiled in late
October features their wonderfully
silky striated fabric in rose, silver and
black. The striated look so cleverly
camouflages those pesky less than
perfect silhouettes of our bodies.
Dresses are in once more and Tail
produces the truest fit in women’s
tennis, as well as the smartest and
trendiest.

October 2013
pro tennis tip:
Rog
It has been 18
months since the
USTA mandated
the use of red,
orange, and
green balls
(ROG) in
tournaments
for children
10 years of age and under. The USTA
nicknamed the program Quick Start, since
it allows children to play games after only
a short initial exposure to the game and
equipment.
The use of low compression balls has
been in Europe for many years and has
been very successful. Children 8 and under
play on a 36 foot court with red foam balls
with a temporary 2’9” net; inexperienced
9 and 10 year olds use an orange ball on
a 60 foot court; and experienced 9 and
10 year old children use a green dot ball
on a 78 foot court. The net for 9-10 is the
standard 3’ height. Lines are being painted
on hard courts all over the country while
temporary plastic lines are installed on Har
Tru courts.
How does this affect you? I have
used ROG balls in my lessons since the
beginning with amazing results. The low
compression balls must be struck with
force from the baseline and this forces
players who had follow-through problems
to create a complete swing. Footwork
is improved and players can easily
experiment with topspin.
We have these balls available in the Pro
Shop and you are welcome to borrow
them and experiment with them yourself.
It is not like when you learned to play,
entering the court with a tin of 3 balls and
spending more time retrieving balls than
playing tennis. You will immediately have
longer rallys, and lots of fun. Try it, you’ll
like it! – Mike
fitness center
Heightened awareness
A pioneering new study has thrown a twist into the
vexing issue of waning height. Experts once thought
that beyond genetics, stature was determined in
childhood by factors like whether you drank the
proverbial glass of milk.

But, in one of the biggest
projects to date investigating aging,
economists from the University
of Southern California, Harvard
and Peking University found that
lifestyle choices made as an adult
have a direct impact on height loss.
Shrinkage takes place mainly in the spine.
Vertebral bone density decreases with age,
and the gel-like discs between the bones get
flatter, so building bone and strengthening the
area around it – even by simply standing up
straight – is crucial. And muscles lose strength,
particularly in the abdomen, further pulling
down posture. Even the flattening of the arches
in the feet that comes with time can contribute
to a loss of height.
Some shrinkage is inevitable, but it’s possible to minimize height loss
by adopting the following good habits:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Eat to Build Bone – Calcium is essential for bone formation, so
aim for 1,000 mg. daily – preferably from foods such as tofu and
leafy greens, since calcium supplements aren’t absorbed as well
as foods.
Drink wisely – excessive alcohol tampers with the stomach’s
ability to absorb calcium and Vitamin D.
Vitamin D – supplements increase retention of calcium.
Avoid extreme dieting.
Skip the soda
And EXERCISE is critical.
A long-term Israeli study found that people who began exercising,
even if they started after 40, lost only half as much height as those who
stopped working out in midlife or never hit the gym at all. Try exercises
that work against gravity, such as brisk walking, pilates or tennis.

At The Bridge Table by pat hunn
We are overjoyed to welcome Ali Hall, the new Social Activities Manager,
who will coordinate Gleneagles Bridge in conjunction with our superb staff of
JoAnne Casen, our duplicate bridge director and ACBL club manager; Natalie
♦ ♣ Rosenstock, our mens’ teacher; and Shirley Zarwan, our ladies’ teacher. Ali’s
appointment recognizes the popularity of our bridge activities at Gleneagles, and
we salute the Board and Management for their insightful leadership. Already,
she has instituted several welcome innovations including computerized sign-in
at our duplicates (similar to golf and tennis) and member charging of instructional tuition.
This season, Gleneagles Bridge will sponsor a social bridge game on Sunday evenings
beginning November 3 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the Ladies Card Room, open to all members,
both men and women, of all playing abilities. This is a pure social game and will involve
neither duplicate scoring nor ACBL masterpoints, but will utilize some of our up-to-date
facilities, such as duplicate boards and bid boxes. For many years, our members, Harriet and
Josh Kalin gave of their valuable time and energy to sponsor social bridge on Sunday evenings.
Gleneagles Bridge hopes to emulate their example, and dedicates the continuation of Sunday
night social bridge to the Kalins in appreciation of their generosity and loyalty to Gleneagles.
Bridge is overwhelmingly popular at Gleneagles, as testified to by the 1300 tables of duplicate
bridge played last year by our members. However, it is a fact that many spouses, social partners
of members, and others have not been able to share bridge’s social camaraderie. Unlike other
card games, the rules and practices of bridge must be learned before participating, since
bridge is always played with a partner and requires non-verbal communication. Starting in
January for 8 consecutive weeks, Gleneagles Bridge will offer beginners bridge lessons, at a
very nominal charge, taught by our wonderful teacher, Shirley Zarwan. More information will
be forthcoming as the season progresses.
Finally, I humbly wish to thank all who congratulated me on becoming a Life Master.
Frankly, I’m not a better bridge player than before this title, far from it. However, I am a
better person for having participated in the process, attending, and playing in world, national,
regional, sectional and club competitions and meeting and playing against wonderful people.
I was fortunate in learning the game from our great Gleneagles teachers, Natalie Rosenstock
and Keith Hanson, and having skilful partners like Peggy Hunn and Marilyn and the late
Herb Rubinstein and many others. I urge all to participate in the ACBL.

Distracted Driving - Each
day, more than 15 people lose their
lives and more than 1,200 people are
injured in crashes that were reported
to involve a distracted driver.
Distracted driving is driving while
doing another activity that takes your attention away from driving; these
activities can increase the chance of a motor vehicle crash.
There are three main types of distraction:
• Visual: taking your eyes off the road
• Manual: taking your hands off the wheel
• Cognitive: taking your mind off what you are doing
Distracted driving activities include things like using a cell phone,
texting, and eating. Using in-vehicle technologies (such as navigation
systems) can also be sources of distraction. While any of these distractions
can endanger the driver and others, texting while driving is especially
dangerous because it combines all three types of distraction.
These are some types of activities take the driver’s attention away from
driving more frequently and for longer periods than other distractions.
Remember, paying attention to your surroundings is important and you
need to be aware of those driving around you. Also, remember to buckle
up for safety.

Welcome to Devcon, Gleneagles’ New Alarm Provider
by michael eustace, property manager
As you probably have realized through other e-mail communications
and a welcome packet that was sent to all residents in early September,
Gleneagles Country Club entered into a new agreement with Devcon
Security, a leader in providing security services to some of the most
exclusive gated communities in Florida.
Devcon is providing Dual Monitoring to allow Gleneagles Security
to receive alarm signals in the gatehouse simultaneous with Devcon’s
monitoring center. Please note that the phone number to cancel false alarms
is now: 1-800-226-2351.
Devcon will be offering complimentary home alarm inspections to
all Gleneagles residents, which can be scheduled at your convenience
in the months that follow. For those residents who currently subscribe
to optional services including Med Alert bracelets and pendants, we
encourage you to compare your current pricing with the pricing offered
by Devcon. We think that you may save money, and you can enjoy the
benefit of using one provider for all of your security needs. To schedule
your inspection or inquire about pricing for optional services, Devcon
Customer Care can be reached at 1-800-878-7806, Monday - Friday,
