A LET TER FROM YOUR
General Manager
DEAR IBIS MEMBER,
Spring is always a welcome time of
year, as the weather begins to warm
up. It also signals the winding down of
season, and this has been a season like
no other here at The Club at Ibis. We
completed our Capital Improvement
Project in the fall, just as season was
about to begin, and our members were
able to finally experience the brand
new facilities from top to bottom. If
you have ever built your own home,
you know that there is always a period
of adjustment to get the “bugs” worked
out, and The Club is no different – it is
just a much bigger “house,” and it takes
a little longer to get comfortable and
find the best way to settle in to our new
and different world and surroundings.
I do hope you will take a moment to
thank our Board of Directors, the LongRange Planning Committee, and the
many others who were critical to the
success of this project. They tackled
a monstrous job, and through their
tireless hours of time and amazing
dedication, The Club at Ibis is now
one of the best clubs anywhere and can
even sport the title of “Distinguished
Emerald Club of the World.” We have so
much to be proud of and thankful for.
As you contemplate your summer plans,
we are busy here at the Club organizing
events and special dining options for
our members who call Ibis “home” all
year-round. While we would like to be
able to provide our members with all of
the offerings and venue openings that
we do in season, it would clearly not be
fiscally responsible. We are committed
to member satisfaction all year long and
will continue to bring you great events
and dining opportunities to enjoy at the
service level you have come to expect.
If you are a golfer, we will, once again,
have over 40 area clubs participating in
the Reciprocal Program this year. Be
sure to take advantage of this and get
out and visit other clubs and courses.
We always look forward to hearing
your comments and suggestions when
you return. As they say, “the best
compliment is imitation,” so let us
know if you come across a great idea
that Ibis may wish to “adopt.”
Our courses have experienced a
challenging winter with the inconsistent
weather – it’s either too hot, too cold,
too wet or too dry this winter. Even
the USGA agrees that it has been one
of the most difficult years in history.
Our summer cultural practices will
be extremely important to maintain
and preserve these valuable assets that
make Ibis the premier club that it is. In
addition, this summer, we will begin
redoing the greenside bunkers to afford
our golfers an even better experience,
which will be scheduled during regular
cultural practices whenever possible.
Tennis play will slow down some over
the hotter months, but, since their
opening, we have been pleased with
the additional play on the two new
tennis courts, as well as the four new
pickleball courts. Our Junior Summer
Camp is filling up again and it’s always
a great time to watch our future Ibis
sports enthusiasts get a little extra
practice while having fun.
To keep you healthy, fit, and relaxed,
a variety of Fitness Classes will be
ongoing throughout the summer
months, along with our BodyMind
Connection efforts to bring you
interesting lectures. Then, relax at
The Spa with one of our many special
treatments. Be sure to enjoy some sun
and fun poolside. It’s the perfect place
to spend the lazy days of summer.
For the socially active, don’t miss the
Rocket Man Show, and a variety of
games to show off your skills, including
Bingo, Trivia Challenge, and Name
that Tune.
We have a variety of special events with
dining headed your way with Easter
Brunch, Seder Dinner, Mother’s Day
Brunch, and a Father’s Day Special at
The Bistro. These are special family
times, so be sure to watch the updates
and make your reservations early. We
will continue with Candlelight Dinners
in Panache, a Wine Reception, and our
fabulous Seafood Feast Dinner Buffet
(there will be food for the landlubbers,
too).
The Club at Ibis is new and exciting. We
want you to create the Ibis Experience™
as only you can by enjoying your
beautiful surroundings while doing all
of the things you love. Happy Spring!
Sincerely,
Stephen J. LoGiudice
General Manager
“The Club at Ibis is now one
of the best clubs anywhere and can even
sport the title of “Distinguished Emerald Club of the World.”
We have so much to be proud of and thankful for.”

Greetings from The Club at Ibis Golf Staff
Monday, May 23
5:00 p.m. Pairings Party
Last summer, we introduced a summerlong event for the Ibis Golf Professionals
and Ibis members. We had such great
participation that we wanted to continue
this new tradition into the summer of
2016. Teams of members who sign up
will play a round of golf with a selected
professional throughout the summer
months. During the Pairings Party, the
Tournament Staff will randomly assign a
The 2015 - 2016 golf season just flew by this year. It is hard to believe that April is
already here, and the South Florida season is about to come to a close. Your Club
had a lot of exciting things happening this year that included the Grand Opening
of the Clubhouse with Jack Nicklaus in attendance for the Ribbon Cutting, along
with celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Ibis members were also very excited to
show off their brand new Club with the return of Member-Guest events for men,
women, and couples.
Golf Professional for you to play with. At
the end of the summer, we will calculate
the lowest team net score from each golf
course to determine the winners. The
entry fee of $50.00 per player includes
a gift for playing, the receptions at the
beginning and end of the summer, along
with prizes that will be awarded at the
end of the summer.
Stay tuned to your weekly Golf & Greens
emails for more information on how and
when to sign up for this competitive (but
enjoyable) summer-long event.
Summer Golf
Leagues
Even though we’re coming up on the summer months, the temperatures are not
the only things that are going to be heating up. As always, we will be offering
Junior Camps and Mixed 9 & Dine events. We also look to introduce and bring
back some classic golf game competitions to boost participation for events in the
summer. Check out the summer calendar that includes a wide variety of fun golf
activities.

Besides all of the golf events here at Ibis,
there are also Leagues and Associations
that Ibis is a part of that give you an
opportunity to play at and compete
against other local clubs in Palm Beach
County. For further information, please

Traditional Summer Golf Events
Do you remember the days of showing up at the golf course,
throwing a bunch of golf balls in the air, then getting paired up with
that group at the tee? Well, your Ibis Golf Staff is looking to do a
similar format during the summer
and get back to the way golf games
used to be established. We want to
boost your weekly golf game with
friends and provide a traditional golf experience
to enhance some friendly competition among
members. Stay tuned to the Golf & Greens
weekly email for more information on these
classic golf games.
Play with the Staff - Summer 2016
Back by popular demand
are our Play-with-the-Staff
events. We look forward
to having the opportunity
to spend some time with
our members on the course
beginning in May and
continuing throughout the
summer months. These
events have continued to
be enjoyable experiences
where staff and members
come together to share a day
playing the game that we all
love. All Play-with-the-Staff events
begin at 8:30 a.m. and are played
on one Thursday of each month
through September on the following
dates:

Golf
Pro’s Corner
If you’re like most people
who play golf, eventually
you find yourself under a
tree, faced with a shot that
requires an abbreviated
backswing. You take
a couple of shortened
practice swings and figure you’re ok.
You think, “I’ve got this shot.” You take
The Half Swing
By Bob Olson, PGA
your swing and hit the tree
branches, swing and hit a bad
shot, or worse yet, miss the
ball completely. That happens.
You end up making a bigger
swing than the practice swing.
The most likely reason for
this is you probably never practice that
shot with a shortened swing. If you’re
Summer Aerification Schedule
To help keep our courses looking their very best, below is the maintenance
schedule for each golf course throughout the summer.
Legend Course Closed
Monday, April 25 – Sunday, May 22
Monday, July 18 – Sunday, August 14
Tradition Course Closed
Monday, May 23 – Sunday, June 19
Monday, August 15 – Sunday, September 11
Heritage Course Closed
Tuesday, June 21 – Sunday, July 17
Monday, September 12 – Sunday, October 9
like most of us, you try to squeeze a bit
more out of the shot than you should.
Here’s a way you can practice that shot
and have fun at the same time.
Go to the south end of the range to the
T.O.P. area. (T. O. P. stands for Target
Oriented Practice). That’s the area
where the nets are located. Most of us
use this area just for our shorter irons
and to practice full swings. Try this the
next time you’re out there:
Pick one of the target nets; pick a
club to use. Then, imagine that you’re
under a tree. Make a swing that will
get the shaft of the club no higher than
ground level on both your backswing
and forward swing. Concentrate on
good ball contact, not distance. You’ll
see that the ball doesn’t go as far as you
might have thought it would. That’s ok.
Hit a few shots with this swing. Now,
switch clubs. If you used a wedge on
the first few shots, switch to a 7-iron.
Make the same swing, getting the
shaft of the club level with the ground.
Concentrate on solid ball contact. Do
this same routine with a couple of
other clubs.
A couple of things will probably
happen. First, your ball contact should
improve. Second, you’ll develop a
“feel” for the shortened swing and how
far the ball goes using different clubs
with the same swing.
The next time you find yourself under
a tree, you’ll have the confidence to hit
the shot that you need to. Play well and
have fun.

Summer Hole-in-One Club
The Ibis Hole-in-One (HIO) Club has
been a fabulous addition to our club
programs. Being able to win money
with one swing of the club makes it all
that more exciting when we make an
ace!
If you signed up and were a member
of the HIO Club from November
1, 2015 – May 31, 2016, and wish to
participate in this program over the
summer, you will have to sign up for
the summer season.
This will be a club within a club and
is open to all Ibis golf members. The
Summer HIO Club will run from June
1, 2016 – October 31, 2016. Any golf
member of the HIO Club who makes
an ace during this time frame will be
eligible for the HIO benefits. Both the
primary and dependent golf member
must sign up for the HIO Club for both
to be eligible for the HIO benefits.
To sign up for the HIO Club, contact
the Golf Shop at (561) 625-8500, Ext.
2381. Members may also email the Tee
Time Office at [email protected].
The more members we have signed up,
the bigger the payout! Registration
begins Sunday, May 1, 2016.
All Ibis Golf Members, regardless of
membership in the Ibis HIO Club, will
be eligible for a personalized plaque in
recognition of their accomplishment,
as well as a $50 Food & Beverage
Credit to be used following their
round of golf.

volley the return of serve. This is a fun sport that combines many elements of
tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960’s as
a children’s backyard pastime, but quickly became popular among adults as a fun
game for players of all levels. Many kids and teenagers
play it in physical education classes in middle and
high schools. Seniors enjoy the social aspects and
the ability to stay active in their communities.
Tennis, racquetball, and ping pong players
love the competitive nature of the
sport and regularly participate in
competitive tournaments.

Knitting for Charity
The V.A. Hospital held its winter communal baby shower for expectant vets in late
February. All of the women participating in this event had served in the military
and received pre- and postnatal services at our neighborhood facility. About
35 moms were invited to attend and enjoy the fun and excitement of the event
although some were called away by their little ones’ arrivals. Many lovely gifts
were donated by the Ibis Cultural Association’s Knitting for Charity participants,
Ibis Friends of Vets, and
other area community
organizations. Members of
the Ibis community have
been supporters of this
thoughtful and generous
event since its inception
seven years ago. Our
community provides each
new mom with hand knitted
baby blankets, sweaters,
hats and booties made by
Ibis volunteers. Treat bags of Sheila G’s cookies, door prizes of nursery artwork
created by Ibis artists, boxes of diapers donated by residents of Ibis, and two baby
stroller door prizes provided by Ibis Friends of Vets added fun and excitement to
this wonderful event. Thanks to so many generous and thoughtful members of
our community, all of the moms-to-be headed home with arms full of useful and
lovely gifts to welcome their newborns.
Happy 10th Anniversary Arts Ibis!
Arts Ibis 2016 opened on Friday, February 5 with great enthusiasm for the new space and

skills with the community.
Ibis members proudly presented drawings, paintings, pastels,

work, pottery, jewelry, quilting, needlepoint, scarves, mosaics,

continuing our tradition for
many years to come.

Transitioning from Physical Therapy to Gym/Sports:
Training Older Adults and Post-Injury Clients
by Kayla S. Wintermute, PTA
Physical therapy is a health care profession primarily concerned with the remediation of impairments
and disabilities and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life, and movement potential
through examination, evaluation, diagnosis, and physical intervention.
On-Site Physical Therapy can help you work toward your prior level of functionality and get you back on the golf course,
tennis court or in the gym. Our trained staff is here to give you the stepping stones to succeed in your activity of choice.
There are many benefits of having On-Site Physical Therapy located within The Club at Ibis:
•Convenience
•Comfort
• Trained staff
• Easy/safe transitioning to other activities
When you are injured or in pain, it is safe to say that it is not as easy to get around. That’s why the convenience of having
Physical Therapy within The Club is key.
When you are not feeling your best, it is easy to feel uncomfortable
in certain situations or settings. Having our clinic in a location
that you are comfortable with can be extremely beneficial to
helping you succeed in your recovery, and, along with private
treatment rooms, you will feel right at home.
All of our therapists are educated, licensed, and are continuously
updating their education to stay aligned with the latest treatments
and equipment available. All of our therapists love what they do
and really take pride in helping you to achieve your therapy goals.
When you are finished with your physical therapy and are ready
to make the transition back to your activity of choice, we are in
the perfect location to be able to set up a plan of action with your
trainer or pro to ensure that you make a safe transition and avoid
reoccurring injuries. We are happy to take the time to make sure
that you get the best care within this transitional time.
We know how important your health and wellness are and will help you to achieve
your top performance levels with the entire health and wellness team working for you.

Going Green at Ibis
You may not realize it, but recycling, conservation, and
other eco-friendly “green” efforts are already implemented
around The Club at Ibis. Below are a few programs and
information about their impact. Keep an eye out for other
environmentally-responsible programs that are scheduled
to launch later this year at Ibis!
Golf Maintenance Water Conservation
• Ibis uses water pumped from the lakes on property to
irrigate our three 18-hole golf courses. Ibis is allocated
410.67 million gallons annually for all three golf courses
and the driving range as dictated by the South Florida
Water Management District. This does not include areas
that are watered and maintained by Ibis POA.
• Simply watering at night to replace the evapotranspiration lost during the day is not a practice used at Ibis.
Instead, we use a more effective means; regularly check
the soil moisture and turf vigor to determine when and
how much water is needed. Additionally, Ibis utilizes a
rain shutoff sensor on the weather station that will turn

• Last year, Ibis pumped a total of 338 million gallons of
water for the golf courses and driving range, more than
72 million gallons under the allotment provided by the
Water District. This is evidence of the effectiveness of
Ibis’s water conservation methods.

Tennis Hydration Station/Water Cooler
• With the opening of The CORE in 2014, The Club at
Ibis made a significant stride towards becoming more
environmentally-conscious. Hydration station water
coolers at the Tennis & Fitness Center were installed
in lieu of offering plastic water bottles to members
and guests. In 2015, this single action has saved almost
20,000 water bottles. That is equivalent to roughly 830
cases of bottled water, or $2,980.
Lighting
• The majority of the rooms in The CORE and the
redesigned Clubhouse are equipped with motionactivated lights, which automatically switch off after
a period of inactivity in the room. LED lighting is
presently used throughout Ibis, as well. LED lighting
uses approximately 75 percent less energy than
traditional incandescent lighting. It also lasts 35 to 50
times longer than incandescent lighting and two to five
times longer than florescent lighting.
Cooking Oil
•All used cooking oil is disposed into designated
containers located in the loading docks. The containers
are emptied by Green Star Biodiesel, a company
that collects the used cooking oil and recycles it into
bio-diesel fuel. As part of the service, Green Star offers
complimentary cleaning of our grease traps, as needed
(approximately two to four times per year). This is a
savings of about $5,000 annually.
