CLUB EXPERIENCE 3 With summer just around the corner, now is the time of year to plan summer activities for your children and perhaps even the grandchildren. As in years past, the Club offers two excellent summer programs for the younger set that highlight wonderful outdoor activities and basic to advanced instruction in tennis and golf. Soccer, baseball, swimming and other sports are interwoven into the curriculum and there is not a day of camp that ends without an abundance of smiles, laughs and very tired participants! As with any sport, I cannot stress the importance of starting players off at a young age. The basics of success and sportsmanship are embedded early on and those lessons will stay with them throughout their careers–whether that involves sports or not. Now in our eighth year, our sports and tennis camps welcome children from England, Mexico, France, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Poland and Spain. Their families plan attendance at camp based upon dates when their friends will be attending as well–it is always fun to witness the annual reunion of friends and families at The Tennis Gardens as lifelong friendships blossom and lifelong lessons are set in motion. In addition to physical and mental conditioning, participants learn concentration, problem solving skills, personal interaction and let’s not forget FUN –all in a positive and exciting environment. To find out more about registering your child for either one or both of these great summer programs, please give us a call at 941.387.1635 or email us at www. longboatkeyclub.com or briana.francois@ longboatkeyclub.com. - John Woods, Director of Tennis 4 CLUB EXPERIENCE Summer Tennis & Sports Camps CLUB EXPERIENCE 5 Features TENNIS 2-5 Annual Sarasota Open schedule of events and information.

He comes to us from Jupiter Beach Resort and Spa where he held the position of Director of Catering and Convention Services for nine years. Jonathan’s experience in creating memorable events for private parties as well as corporate clients is well-rounded. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Jonathan began his career in culinary arts at the Four Seasons Hotel and continued to move his career forward to encompass all aspects of banquets, convention services and wedding planning. With a keen eye for detail and experience with beach-centric events and high-end clientele, Jonathan will most certainly bring a creative vision and exciting energy to the catering and events department. - Sandra Rios, Diretor of Marketing May is National Salad Month! 10 CLUB EXPERIENCE GRILLED WATERMELON SALAD Total Time: 30 minutes Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 1 minute Yield: 4 servings Level: Easy INGREDIENTS 1/2 (5-pound) seedless watermelon 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar Extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt (specialty salt is great here, if on-hand) 2 cups fresh baby arugula, washed and dried 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled, preferably a French chèvre Fresh finely cracked black pepper DIRECTIONS Stand the watermelon half-cut side down on a cutting board and slice away the rind, leaving a solid block of melon. Turn the block on its side and cut it into 8 squares, roughly 3 by 3 inches and 1-inch thick. Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced to a thick syrup consistency. Set aside. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle just enough olive oil over watermelon slices to thinly coat and place on hot grill pan. Grill each side about 2 minutes until grill marks appear; transfer to a plate and season with salt. To assemble the salads, put about 1/4 cup of baby arugula on a serving plate, followed by a grilled slice of watermelon in the center, and top with a tablespoon of crumbled cheese and another 1/4 cup arugula. Add another watermelon slice and another tablespoon of cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Finish each salad with a very light drizzle of olive oil and balsamic syrup. Dust with black pepper and serve immediately. CLUB EXPERIENCE 11 12 CLUB EXPERIENCE HOW TO START A WINE COLLEC ion As a connoisseur of fine vintages myself, and well-versed in the language of wines, one of the questions I am asked most often is, “Where do I begin my journey?” For those of you that are seasoned collectors, I applaud you for your knowledge and for sharing a passion that has intrigued individuals since antiquity. For those of you just starting out, welcome! If you find your passion for fine wines taking a turn from just enjoying a great vintage with a fabulous dinner, I am here to help lay the blueprint for creating your own collection, one that truly reflects your own personality and individual tastes. If you enjoy sharing your passion with family and friends, or just want to relive that one bottle that struck your fancy, you are ready to begin your journey to becoming a collector and to share the nuances of fine selections in the ambiance of your own home. I am not suggesting you dig a cellar under your house or spend an exorbitant amount of money on professional refrigeration and custom made shelving and cabinets. Those who are anxious to start a wine collection, can begin with a few simple tips that will lay the foundation for success. First, decide on a budget. Pick a number that represents your level of commitment. You can begin a cellar with $300 - $400, but $1000 will give you the greatest flexibility. Remember, this sum does not need to be spent all at once, but can be spread out over a several years. This will allow to buy some very good wines that will not only impress but will last for the next 20 years. Secondly, buy what you like. I feel this is the most important step. Your collection should be centered on your likes. When making your initial purchases rely on a knowledgeable friend or trusted wine professional who has an understanding of how wines age. This is important as you make decisions on ageworthy wines, and I suggest you triple up on your favorites. If you find a wine you really like buy three. You undoubtedly will want to share with friends and this gives you the opportunity to enjoy it on numerous occasions. Look for successive or multiple vintages of your wines, this will help build breadth in your collection. Think twice about trophy wines as they can be over played and very expensive. Search out wines that have great history and are quality driven. Keep an eye out for deals, buy from your trusted local wine shop or better yet, purchase directly from the winery. Not only will this be beneficial for you, but there is a charm in dealing directly with the source of your enjoyment. Next, let’s take a look at things from an operational perspective. Do you need professional refrigeration? Not necessarily. Refrigeration is for large collections and individuals who want to cellar wines for a long period of time. It is important not to obsess about wine storage, yes temperature is important, but for the beginner it is more important to remember to avoid large temperature fluctuations or swings. The optimal setting is a location that is cool, approximately 70° , and dark with little natural or artificial light. A bit of humidity is good, about 70%, and remember to always store bottles on their sides. If you prefer to forego creating a space for your wines, there are a number of inexpensive wine lockers beginning around $200 that will keep your wines at an ideal temperature of 55°. And lastly, keep learning! Remember that the pleasure of collecting is not the purchase, but everything leading up to it. Read, talk, taste and ask questions. I know for me it is all the things that I learned about a wine, its winery and its history that creates the magic. That moment when you uncork your wine and take that first sip you begin your journey to unlocking its great mystery. SANTÉ - Bob Weil, Director of Food & Beverage CLUB EXPERIENCE 13 Demo Day 14 CLUB EXPERIENCE UNDER SUNNY SKIES Over 100 Longboat Key Club Members attended Demo Day, which was held on the Harbourside driving range. Representatives from Callaway, TaylorMade, Adams and Titleist came out to show off the latest and greatest in the new 2014 equipment line. Members enjoyed the opportunity to test out every club in the bag and get a personalized fit for the perfect loft. According to Director of Golf, Terry O’Hara, “this was the best demo day in years!” If you missed this fantastic opportunity please stop by the Harbourside golf shop and we will be happy to demo the new equipment for you and let you experience some of the best game improvement equipment on the market today. - Terry O’Hara, Director of Golf CLUB EXPERIENCE 15 Membership Report Please join us in welcoming our newest members.

We all stayed at an Ocean Properties, OPAL Collection Property. While some stayed at The Westin Key West Resort & Marina located in “Old Town” Key West others stayed at the beautiful Sunset Key Guest Cottages located on a private island in Key West Harbor. Most of us traveled to the Keys via the Key West Express which was quick, comfortable and very convenient. The beautiful blue seas were calm and the dolphins were abundant. Our first night there we enjoyed a cocktail reception on the Westin Sunset Deck overlooking Mallory Wharf and the delightful Sunset Celebration that takes place daily. Can you say cats jumping through flaming hoops? It’s a sight to see. The next day we visited the Hemmingway House after having breakfast at Blue Heaven. The endless shops on Duval Street provided shelter from the drizzle. That evening we boarded a boat and motored over to Sunset Key for a fabulous dinner at Latitudes, followed by “night caps in the cottage.” 18 CLUB EXPERIENCE Friday we were free all day to shop until our hearts were content. That evening we climbed onboard a Historic Key West Schooner named Danger’s Prize for a Wind & Wine™ sunset sail. Fabulous wines paired with tasty light bites all while sailing under a cloud of canvas in the Gulf of Mexico. We then boarded the Ghost & Gravestones Trolley for a chilling tour with spine tingling tales of Key West’s frightful past. If you happen to go, just make sure that you ask “Robert the Doll” for permission to take his picture while in the East Martello Fort. We finished the trip by boarding the Key West Express for the return home. As the sun sizzled into the Gulf it ignited the desire to start planning our next OPAL Excursion. Where will we go and what will we do? We returned late on Saturday night. We had enough time to get some sleep before heading to Sands Pointe to watch the Super Bowl the next evening. This is the first of many OPAL Excursions to come. Some future ideas include: The Lake Placid Lodge, Samoset Resort, The Sagamore Resort and an epic trip west to “Wine Country”. Spin the globe and pick a spot! The possibilities are endless. - Dan Wade, Member Event Manager CLUB EXPERIENCE 19 One of the hottest new trends in facials is the non-invasive results driven facial – that gives you “botox-like” results without the pain of injections. You leave with noticeable improvements to your face without any of the recovery time! The timeless and ever-present expression of “you”. It is the image we see in the mirror every morning and the palette that expresses our emotions to the rest of the world throughout your day. It is the cover to your book and the canvas of your life-long journey. Not only do we express our own emotions and desires by our facial expression–our brains are exquisitely wired to identify, remember and to read other human faces. We can easily recognize a friend’s face in a crowd. We perceive happiness or sadness, distress, disapproval, love or contempt in the faces of others. Facial expressions help us discern if someone is sick or trustworthy, if someone might be flirt-worthy or if someone might blow up at a moment’s notice. The clarity and perfection of one’s complexion is the one commonality that all cultures and races perceive as a universal sign of beauty. The appearance of our skin is commonly thought to be a direct reflection of the bodies’ immune function. People of the Mormon faith sometimes speak of a “Mormon Glow”–referencing the beautiful tonality of skin that has not suffered the ravages of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and sun. Our skin reflects so much about whom we are and the things we enjoy doing. Whether you have a sun-tanned face, an ivory girl complexion, a face full of playful freckles or enjoy the natural beauty of olive toned skin, your face is a treasure that needs to last you a lifetime! So, all this leads up to the fact that it is important to maintain a healthy and happy face. French women are renowned the world over for their beautiful complexions and one of their time-tested beauty secrets is a commitment to having regular facials. The benefits are many. You can simply enjoy the relaxation of a facial massage or target specific issues with a variety of treatments. Facials increase circulation to all the layers of the derma allowing oxygen enriched blood to rejuvenate weakened cells. The result is a healthy glow and plumper skin cells which reduce the overall appearance of wrinkles. Be sure to maintain daily hydration levels so the skin does not suffer from the effects of dehydration. Emotional benefits arise not only from the relaxation of massage, but through the use of aromatics and oils that moisturize and give an overall sense of well-being. Increased lymphatic drainage boosts the immune system and by awakening the lymph nodes, fluid retention is lessened and you lose that “puffy” feeling. 20 CLUB EXPERIENCE While you cannot turn back the hands of time entirely, there are a variety of treatments that can target specific outcomes and the aging process can be slowed. There are many treatments that offer anti-aging benefits including some of the signature treatments at The Spa. The Micro-Current Facial stimulates and smooths facial muscles and promotes elastin and collagen production. Microdermabrasion speeds up cellular renewal and leaves you with radiant, rejuvenated skin. The Resurfacing Facial helps to increase the skin’s moisture content, minimizes fine lines and improves skin clarity. And, for the ultimate in luxury and relaxation, we suggest the Signature Island Facial which will leave your face nourished and hydrated, your back luxuriously pampered and your senses filled with the pleasures of an aromatic journey. Now that you have invested time and energy into your facial regimen, be sure to visit the retail outlet at The Spa to purchase the products that will maintain your beautiful visage in between appointments. Whatever facial you select to keep your face at its very best here is a mini-massage you can you can practice at home inbetween appointments! DO-IT-AT-HOME MINI FACIAL MASSAGE STEP 1 - Starting on the cheeks, draw big circles using your finger or knuckles, moving upwards. STEP 2 - Along one side of the face at a time, rub from the mid-jawline to the cheekbone with a long upward stroke, pressing firmly for a moment at the top. STEP 3 - Gently work smile lines with upward strokes, from the corners of the mouth to the corners of the nose STEP 4 - With your fingertips, lift and hold both brows to open the eye are. Rub in a circle around the eye socket outwards towards the temples, eventually expanding to include the forehead. STEP 5 - To plump lips, use thumb and index finger to quickly pluck all across the top and bottom lip, stimulating the blood flow. As with any massage or body work, be sure to drink plenty of water to flush away the toxins as your lymphatic system kicks into high gear.- Nancy Thielman, Director of Spa & Fitness Your Face A Timeless Masterpiece CLUB EXPERIENCE 21 22 CLUB EXPERIENCE CORE AND MORE W e’ve all heard the term “work the core” and thoughts automatically drift to the six-pack abs we see advertised on the “not sold in stores” TV advertorials. Whether those ads serve as a source of inspiration or offer us an opportunity to laugh a little, the truth is that there is more to “the core” than meets the eye! Comprised of both small and large muscle groups that run the length of the trunk and torso along the front and back, the musculature consists of the abdominal muscles, the spinal column, gluteal, pelvic floor, and hip flexor muscle groups and even incorporates some hamstring and inner thigh muscles. Take a Pilates class and you will most likely find (and feel) them all! The benefits of working core muscles are many. A stronger core increase balance and stability and can greatly improve your athletic performance both on and off the field, whether it be golf, tennis, biking, household chores, lifting small children, taking care of pets or any chore that demands your physical participation. Investing time into core work will lead to better posture, help correct postural imbalances, decrease the chances of injury and help to alleviate or reduce back pain. These are all terrific reasons to consider this exercise regimen, but where to start? The ab and back machines in the weight room and the Middle Core Madness and Balance and Posture classes are easy choices. Ballet Fit and Le Barre classes provide a functional core workout and Tai Chi and Beach Yoga will amaze you, even the breathing work can be a workout unto itself. For the more adventurous try the Pilates, Piloxing and CrossFit– all intense to the core! For those of you that prefer aquatic workouts to ease the stress on joints, water aerobics is a great way to get some core exercises in as you use those very muscles to stabilize yourself in a fluid environment. Not for the gym alone, many floor exercises can easily be done at home and are quite effective. The key is continuity and commitment. Don’t be shy in asking for assistance with any of the training methods, exercises or equipment. We’re here to help you on your path to being the very best that you can be!- Nancy Thielman, Director of Spa & Fitness CLUB EXPERIENCE 23 Marina Yacht Club Lessons S Scuba DDive 24 CLUB EXPERIENCE Have you ever wished you could see the beauty of a coral reef with your own eyes or experience the majesty and mystery of life beneath the waves? Maybe you were captivated by Jacques Cousteau when you were younger or now spend hours wandering through Mote Marine Laboratory enjoying the unique creatures that call the ocean home. Now is your opportunity to be able to experience these amazing things first-hand! If you are looking for a new and exciting hobby or an interesting opportunity to challenge yourself, consider scuba lessons that are now being offered at the Marina.
