Dear Members
The end of our construction
is in sight!!
Yes, by the end of March
construction should be
finished on our new Spa/
Fitness facility. There will be
a punch list to finish and
probably some ongoing
minor work for a week or so, but in the main the
trucks and workers will be gone and you will be
enjoying your new facilities.
An update as of almost the end of February
follows:
The Spa is approximately 80% completed and
looking beautiful. The furniture and equipment
is due to be delivered and installed the first 2
weeks of March. We are looking forward to a
soft opening to test operations at that time and
will be in full operation by the end of the month.
In the Fitness area we are working on our punch
list diligently and by the time you are reading
this a lot should be completed. Please remember
that in this area we broke with policy and
opened the area before it was 100% completed.
This was done to enable you to utilize the facility
at the earliest possible time knowing that there
were certain minor deficiencies that we were still
going to have to work on as you exercised. Your
cooperation in this regard was and is
appreciated.
The Aerobic rooms are in the process of being
finished and floors are being installed this week.
The Spinning room is complete and waiting for
the new bikes. Wait until you see the 9' x 5’ TV
wall in high definition as you ride along the
beaches of Maui.
The Wellness rooms are complete and the Pilates
rooms are waiting for equipment.
The main entrance is framed and sheetrock will
be going up shortly. The Salon for pedicures,
manicures and hair blowouts is also framed and
waiting for sheetrock along with the men’s
barbershop.
The Spa Cafe is being framed at present and the
Tennis/Fitness Pro Shop is being readied for the
receipt of fixtures along with the offices in its
rear. This area has been a cause for delay as we
ran into some unexpected problems while the
contractors were working on the demolition of
the original building.. There were some solid
walls that had to come down that were not
indicated on the plans and the roof reinforced
with some steel. All was accomplished to
everyone’s satisfaction.
The Terrace, which I believe everyone is going
to love along with everything else, is presently
serving as a holding area for supplies; there is
not much work to do in this area but to furnish.
The construction in the last three or so years has
reduced your full enjoyment of our wonderful
Club, but they are over. The metamorphosis has
been completed and with that we have changed
some of our Club so that our current and future
members will enjoy all of our amenities.
Additionally we are now more than competitive
with neighboring facilities, a necessity as we
compete for new members that will enable
Broken Sound to thrive going forward.
Yes, there still are some minor projects on the
horizon like the repaving of the Tennis/Fitness
center parking lot, the reconfiguration of the
basement of the Golf pro shop to allow for
adequate bag storage, and the restructuring of
the pool locker rooms which all have to be done.
However these should not interfere with your
use of our facilities to any large degree.
There has been a lot of time put in by our
building and design committees and
management. All was done with a passion that
they hope you feel and enjoy, and we look
forward to discovering all that is being offered.
Have a great month.
Best regards,
Ivan Snyder, President
Board of Governors

Events
The 2013 Men’s and Women’s Club Course Member
Guest Events were a tremendous success. Both events
combined, touted over 400 Members and their
Guests. Players flew in from all over the Country to
experience the exquisite decorations and fantastic
course conditions only Broken Sound Club Course
could offer. Following play everyone enjoyed an
amazing spread in the dining room during the awards
banquet. Every year the Club Course Member Guests
raises the bar on just how much fun a golf event can
be. The Club Course really goes to all lengths to create
a unique atmosphere for all our Members and their
Guests to enjoy. Thank you to all the Member Guest
Committee Members for all their hard work.
Demo Days have created a “buzz”
at the Club Course driving range.
Please remember we offer a special
“Demo Day only” discount on club
orders from our featured vendor. Any
golf clubs ordered on Demo Day from
our featured vendor receives an
additional 10% discount.

Dear Golfers,
The 2013 golf season has
been one of the most
successful years in recent
history.
We
have
experienced great weather
and fabulous course
conditions all year long.
With the New Year brings in many new hopes
for our golf game. We sincerely hope that the
spirit of competition and good will prevails this
year for all of our Club Members.
In December our very own BSWWGA held their
annual Holiday Charity Event. This year the
ladies raised over $2000 in donations for The
American Association of Caregiving Youth. The
ladies played 18 holes and met for lunch to raise
money for this deserving charity.
Congratulations to the BSWWGA for such a
wonderful job helping the community.
Starting February 1st our new numbered tee
markers have brought many compliments from
the Membership at the Club Course. Our new
tees consist of numbers rather than colors and
are golfer friendly for players of all levels and
skill sets. By using the suggested yardage chart,
players can discover the tee that is most suitable
to their game. This is just one way the Club
Course has helped to make the game more
enjoyable for everyone.
As the winter season progresses it is hard to
believe we are already looking ahead to our
Men’s and Ladies Leagues closing events
upcoming in April. With record participation in
our leagues we can only expect a large turnout
and fabulous time.

Sunday, April 21, 2013
All golf members of Broken Sound are
invited to participate in our annual
fundraiser for Breast Cancer and
Prostate Cancer Research. The event
includes lunch, golf at the Old Course,
cocktails and dinner as well as a silent
auction and some very special events.
Broken Sound Club has raised more
than $350,000 for these 2 charities over
the past 15 years.
2012 GCSAA/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders
Broken Sound Club among the 14 chapter winners selected from GCSAA’s 99
affiliated chapters.
The Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards (ELGA) recognize golf course
superintendents and their courses for overall course management excellence
in the areas of resource conservation, water quality management, integrated
pest management, wildlife/habitat management and education/outreach.
In addition, these categories are judged on sustainability, criticality, originality
and technology implementation/use. An independent panel of judges
representing national environmental groups, turfgrass experts, university
research and members of the golf community conducted the award
selection.
We congratulate Joseph Hubbard, CGCS and his staff on this achievement.

Tips & Strategies For Fun & Successful Tennis!
The Power Of
Position
Ever been in the wrong
place at the wrong
time? What an uncomfortable feeling. You
were probably a bit
unsure of yourself and
befuddled as to what to do. On the other hand,
remember being in the right place at the right
time? You probably can recall all of the details
surrounding that event. Just thinking about it
conjures up some good memories!
Now let’s compare those experiences with your
tennis game. Being in a poor position on the court
makes for poor decision making, fosters lack of
shot control and puts you in crisis mode. Being in
a poor position can also put you in a state of panic.
It can increase your chances of making the wrong
decision or a shot that you did not intend to make
(such as a ball intended for the opponent on the
baseline being hit to the opponent at the net
because you are standing in no-mans land).
Conversely, being in a good position on the court
allows you to see the court better by noticing
where your opponents are (are they themselves
in good position/bad position? and where should
the ball be hit?). It also gives you confidence and
increases your probability of making the correct
decision. Being in the right position enables you
to recognize and take advantage of opportunities
(such as poaching and when to finish the point).
April 12-14. As a member of Broken Sound you
can travel to Key Biscayne to watch world-class
tennis, stay at home and watch the Super
Senior circuit, or compete in a pro-am against
local pros in the Broken Sound Invitational. With
so many great events to choose from in the next
few months, all you have to do is call us in the
pro shop and let us sign you up.
Invitational Pro-Am Tournament

SPA AND FITNESS
By Michael Tompkins
Tompkins, Director of Spa & Fitness
With season in full
swing, our staff has
been diligently working
towards preparing for
the grand opening of
our new state-of- the art
facility. As we draw
near to the conclusion
of our expansion, I
would like to thank
everyone for their
patience and understanding during this
transition. Our mission from inception has been
to present Broken Sound Club as the trendsetter
in country club living, setting a standard of
excellence that all others look to emulate. With
this objective as our goal, we are presenting to
the club a new full service spa, featuring new
spa lines and services combining cutting edge
technology and spa industry leading
treatments. These innovative products are only
offered exclusively at high end spas around the
world. We will also be offering a new full body
treatment menu in our seven treatment rooms,
as well as facials, massages and sunless tanning.
A delightful new addition to our new spa is a
massage suite where couples are able to enjoy
a relaxing spa treatment together. Separate
from the spa will be our new salon, where we
will be offering your favorite manicure and
pedicure services, blow dry hair bar, make-up
artist, waxing services and a full service barber.
We are also excited to begin our partnership
with Boca Raton Regional Hospital as our new
in-house Physical Therapy providers. We will
also offer various medical services to our Broken
Sound community in our new medical
treatment room.
The opening of the fitness center highlighted a
small expansion in the fitness area. We are
excited to open our new designated spin room
and pilates studios as well as our two new group
exercise studios. Our pilates studio will host a
variety of new pilates apparatus equipment
where members may have a private, semiprivate or small group class for a nominal fee.
The Spin Studio will be fantastic, a must come
and see and participate.

For Now. For Life.
Our new challenge is equally important. We
must help equip this hospital, so that the
dedicated nurses and physicians and all those
caring for the patients can deliver the high level
of care they are so motivated and capable of
giving.

Hadassah’s Centennial and the
Opening of the New Hospital
It was a privilege to attend our Centennial
Convention and Hospital dedication in Israel.
Jerusalem hosted almost 2000 Hadassah
members, associates and some family
members. It was especially heart warming to
see multigenerational members attending this
once in a life time happening.
We must help fund the research that has
already resulted in breakthroughs in stem cell
therapy and many other areas.
We participated in interesting, informative
and varied programs. I spent my first day with
other nurses and physicians learning about
various research projects taking place at
Hadassah. We were privileged to meet some
exceptional people and participate in
honoring them for all they have done through
the years for Hadassah. One of those was 92
year old Judith Stein Friedman. She is one of
the first graduates of the Nursing school later
becoming its Dean. She still comes to work in
her office at the hospital daily.
Hadassah empowers women both in the U.S.
and abroad by providing education and health
initiatives, aiding people in making appropriate
medical decisions.
The official dedication of the hospital was
held at the convention center in Jerusalem.
We were welcomed and thanked most
eloquently by President Shimon Peres.
www.msawi.org
The hospital is magnificent, both in its
architecture and function. It is very light with
many windows and indoor gardens. It is a
state of the art facility, probably one of the
most modern in the world. The structure is
15 stories above ground and 6 below ground.

driveway of snow even once. Seriously, the
season seems to rushing by. I am glad to report
that we had a very nice profit realized from our

doing another one. The football survivor pool
produced fourteen survivors. I think it is a
record. Sign up early to be included in the next

We must also remember that in 1967 we got
back our original hospital on Mt. Scopus, a
facility which we also operate. Both hospitals,
care for and are staffed by, both Jews and Arabs
without distinction .
A BBQ Dinner is planned as part of
this most special event.

We are gearing up for the March 2nd first ever

Women’s Club
This season has been wonderful so far, with
huge crowds and great speakers. Larry
Strickler, a Catskills tummler, gave us the history
of the Borscht Belt area, and Dr. Joyce Saltman
filled in for Ronelle Delmont and was hysterical,
as always. She brought non-stop laughter and
lessons on the health benefits of being
“optimistic”.
The demand for our out-of-club trips continues
to be great. We ran another trip to
“WhiteSpace” art museum to accommodate all
those who were not able to get in last year.
The trip to the Maltz Jupiter Theater was a
delight. “Music Man” was as professional as one
would see on Broadway and everyone is asking
us to find another play at this theater. Our tour
and lunch on board Royal Caribbean’s Liberty
of the Seas was delightful. Only one trip
remains and that is to the Fairchild Tropical
Gardens in Coral Gables on March 1st which is
already sold out.
We still have 2 more wonderful luncheon
meetings . You may sign up at the front lobby
desk and remember that the cancellation
deadline is 4 days prior to the meeting.
If you wish to become a member of The
Women’s Club please call Rowena Kovler at 2415486. We’d love to have you join us.

BUTTERFLY AND GARDEN CLUB
Lately, have your thoughts turned to, how does a
Poor Man’s Umbrella plant, keep a traveler dry, or
what do Capuchin monkeys look like, or was there
really a Scientific Expansion for a particular tillansia
from Ecuador to Costa Rica? If you answered yes, you
should have been at our Feb, 6th meeting! Ken
Marks, our fabulous speaker, showed all 70, of us the
most beautiful photos, of very remote areas in Costa
Rica.
After the speaker, we raffled off over 101 unusual
and unique plants. They were not the Home Depot
variety. Pat Levine donated many of her fantastic and
rare bromeliads from her extensive collection.
Butterfly plants were on hand for purchase.
On Monday March 18, at 4:30pm, we will be given a
rare chance to tour Pat Levine’s garden. She lives at
2122 NW 60th Circle, in Fairway Bend. Pat, we are
coming to learn,-teach us. If you want to join us
afterward for 6:00pm dinner at the club , call me (9946747) by Feb. 28, so I can make the reservations by
March 4. No reservations required for the tour - just
come.
Saturday, March 16, we are going to Butterfly World,
for a class and private guided tour. We will depart
the club at 9:00am. I will need your check for $16.00,
to get our low group rate.
Wednesday, April 10, at 4:30pm, we will tour Barbara
Pisik’s professionally designed and planted butterfly
gardens. Barbara, thank-you so much for allowing
us to come. More details later.
Come join our friendly garden group!
