Dear Members,
On behalf of our great staff, I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season and wish you a healthy and joyful new year. I would also like to thank you for recognizing the staff this past holiday season with your generous contributions to the Employee Holiday Fund. We are extremely fortunate to have a wonderful team of individuals committed to exceeding member’s expectations and your acknowledgement is greatly appreciated.
Congratulations to Ana Collins who was selected as the La Gorce Country Club Employee of the Year. Ana has worked in our Accounting Department for over 3 years and recently volunteered to chair the Employee Relations Committee developed last December upon my arrival. Ana was presented the honor at this year’s annual Employee Holiday Party. Next time you are at the Club or speaking to that pleasant voice in accounting, please offer Ana your kudos on her achievement.
Even with the unseasonal warm temperatures and rain this past fall, the over-seeding of the greens, tees and practice facility has enabled us to maintain consistent turf quality for our members. We are excited about entering the golf
course restoration project beginning March 21 and working with Mr. Nicklaus and his design team in returning La Gorce golfing conditions to pristine levels. During the shutdown, Director of Golf Ernie Ruiz has worked diligently lining up reciprocity with numerous area clubs as well as planning member trips to Streamsong, Bandon Dunes and other high end golfing resorts. I would also like to remind everyone that the Clubhouse, Fitness, Tennis and Aquatic operations will continue to offer great opportunities for you to utilize the Club.
Have a great Season!
Regards,
Richard J. MartinoGeneral Manager

instRuction coRneRwith all of these events Jarryd wood our head Teaching Professional has some great advice for you in this newsletter.
In my experience as a teacher, every student comes to me wanting more distance. as an instructor, I am a fan of straight, and I want to share a few keys on how to hit more fairways.
1. Tee the ball up lower.This will keep the ball flight down and hit slightly lower on the face. a lower ball flight has less of a chance of going off line.
2. Grip down on the club.Gripping down on the club will give you more control and help shorten your backswing. a result will be keeping the ball flight down.
3. Narrow your stance. Innarrowing your stance you also shorten your swing and keep more control of the club.
Distance is not everything. Try using these tips to help hit more fairways and have an easier time going for the small greens here at La Gorce.

7 • la gorce country club • January - March 2016
I hope that you have enjoyed a joyous hoLIday season. 2016 promises tobe a true turning point for the golf course as we look forward to March and the comprehensive restoration that will be implemented on the golf course this year. As your golf course superintendent I am both very confident in the team of contractors we have selected and the professional abilities of Mr. Nicklaus’ staff to produce a classic golf course that you will enjoy for many years to come.
However, this endeavor is still a couple of months away and our focus and mission will continue to be providing the best playing conditions and turf quality right up to the restoration start date. The department will not reduce any maintenance practices or try to conserve budgeted resources for the remaining months leading up to the course closure. It is our departmental goal to make every member event the best in La Gorce’s rich history and provide great daily playing conditions for your enjoyment.
I hope that 2016 provides you with both great health and happiness.
Play well,
Jim Brown Golf Course Superintendent
Sprucing up!

We hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays with family and friends and we hope you have a prosperous 2016 ! We feel grateful and proud to
be able to work at La Gorce
Country Club, and we look
forward for a great year full of great serves, forehands,
backhands, volleys, and overheads, as well as
unlimited fun, and great camaraderie!
I believe we have some of the best teaching tennis
professionals here at La Gorce. Diego Zorzi provides
loads of experience and knowledge from playing on
a professional tour as well as his college tennis team.
Rafael Alvarez is a young coach with extremely great
playing skills. Rafael has worked at both the Ritz
Carlton in Key Biscayne and in the Hamptons.
Madeline Johnson is a very talented coach with a great
personality; she always has a smile on her face and a
positive attitude that is contagious. She has a great
time working with the kids and it shows because they
all love her! Juan Padilla is another all-around coach
that has the patience and the skills to work with small
kids to adults of all levels. Juan is available Friday to
Sunday. Joe Szucs and Mihai Piroska are in the pro
shop and are always ready to provide all the
information about reservations, lesson, clinic
bookings, and general information. Joe in addition
is also the main racket stringer and equipment guru.
Carlos Godefoy is the head of tennis maintenance;
he keeps the courts in top shape.

integrate them with the Club, so they have a
feeling they belong. I encourage you to get
involved by inviting a friend or neighbor to
join the Club. You may contact me via email

My New Year resolution tennis tip is the
following: Tennis is a game of errors. You can
take your game to the next level by trying to
change your approach to tennis. Instead of trying
to hit winners all the time focus on, first, limiting
your errors and, second, forcing your opponent
into making errors. Most of the points in tennis
are decided by one of the players missing a shot.
The majority of the errors are unforced errors,
such as when we try to hit the ball too hard, too
close to the line, or too low over the net. When
practicing whether taking a lesson, a clinic, or
just hitting with a partner, focus on consistency,
control, and balance to limit your errors in a
match situation. Next, we should also focus on
forcing the opponent to make errors. One way is
just to simply get a few more balls back into play
in the court. You will be surprised on how many
more points you can win by hitting at least three
shots in every point. The next key on forcing your
opponent into errors is putting pressure with
either keeping the ball deep, moving your
opponent around, or coming into the net. So
forget about hitting winners and forcing shots
with just power. Instead, play percentage tennis
to cut down on errors, and work the point
focusing on forcing your opponent into making
errors. I can guarantee improvement in your
tennis game while taking this approach.
Sincerely,
Santiago PinzonTennis Director

Here are a few simple ways to get back into a routine and to keep those waistlines trim. Try these quick, do anywhere 15-minute exercise routines and let me know how you fare.

sun screen tipWinter season is in full swing and it does not mean we do not need any sun screen. The sun and its rays’ strengths are at their peak during cloudy days; therefore we need to protect ourselves with plenty of sun screen. Swimmers and sun bathers should apply sun screen at least every hour while enjoying the outdoors. Water proof sun screen is a good choice when going for a swim but we still need to apply every hour. Salt water beaches, chlorinated pools and the sun combined together can harm our skin if sun screen is not being used.
stay hydratedDrink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them wile lounging under the sun.
Room temperature bottled water cools the body and quenches your thirst better than ice cold bottled water.
swimming LessonsDo you have inexperienced children who love swimming but you always worry about their safety? Do not hesitate and let our Aquatics Director help them become strong swimmers. Survival swimming skills are also taught after they have reached an average level of confidence within the water.
Private swimming lessons are available at your convenience. Please contact our Aquatics Director Miguel Reyes at 305-866-4541 (Direct Line) / Email: [email protected]
