There are nearly 300 hospitals in Florida. And when U.S. News & World Report issued its latest

listing for Best Regional Hospitals, our numbers were quite impressive. In fact, Boca Raton

Regional Hospital was ranked 18th in the entire state, earning us a Best Regional Hospital

designation. Only 505 of the nation’s 5,000 hospitals received such a prestigious accolade.

We’re also the highest ranked hospital in Palm Beach County.

This is just another in a growing list of national honors for Boca Regional. And another way

of knowing that if you’re in need of advanced, high-quality healthcare, you can count on us.

When you’re counting the best hospitals in Florida, you can count on us.

Dear Members,

Wow, 2017!! What a privilege it is to usher in the New Year as the President of Broken Sound Club. It is an honor to have the opportunity to introduce you to the exciting innovations coming our way this year.

I will begin with the obvious, the first issue of BSC’s magazine, The Sound, which replaces our newsletter. The Sound promises to bring an elevated level of informational articles from the Club’s

Department Directors, event highlights, photo montages, and many great surprises. In addition to being distributed to the entire membership, it will be strategically placed at businesses throughout the community, which will give the Club greater exposure.

One of the features of The Sound is ‘Board Connection’, which will be a forum for your Board to discuss current issues, address concerns and report on changes. It will be used as an opportunity to keep the line of communication flowing from the Board to the members.

As you read through this first edition, a more vivid representation of The Broken Sound Club emerges. In word and picture, The Sound accurately depicts the exceptional lifestyle we, as members, enjoy.

We are living and fully immersed in the digital age. It doesn’t matter where you are, people are connected to their mobile devices. Keeping up to date with the changes and ever evolving technical advances is a challenge. It is our commitment to keep up with the changes and to be in communication with you. In that light, the Club is in the process of implementing the following soon:

• A new ‘smart’ membership card with RFID chip;• The Club’s website will be updated to be more responsive to and compatible with smart phones/tablets;• On-line dining reservations system; and• A Broken Sound Club app will be announced, which will be available in your mobile app store.

For all of us, 2017 promises to be an exciting new year with so much to look forward to. As your Board’s President and speaking for your Board of Governors, I want to thank you, our membership, for embracing the changes recommended by your Board. We have a great Club and a membership with high expectations. Your Board has pledged its efforts to meet those expectations.

Have a great year!

Nate Metzger, PresidentBoard of Governors

Letter from the President

At the end of March, the Club Course will undergo a complete re-grassing. You may be assured that this will be an amazing and beautiful enhancement to your lifestyle!

Board Connection


Echoes of the PastMost people recognize Henry Flagler and Addison Mizner as the individuals who most influenced the patterns of development in Palm Beach County and southeast Florida. Henry Flagler built the FEC railroad and Mizner marketed the Mediterranean style architecture in Palm Beach County. Lesser known was Arvida, whose name was derived from Arthur Vining Davis, and who set the pattern of development for Boca Raton and southeast Florida. His land development company was formed in 1958, and Arvida would have its way with development in Boca Raton for the next three decades. Arvida introduced to Boca the gated community, the first of which was the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. Most of West Boca was built between 1973 and 1988 including Broken Sound. The Cedar Cay and Willow Greens models were opened in late 1987 and construction on Broken Sound’s clubhouse began in 1987/1988. The clubhouse architecture was reminiscent of the early days of Boca Raton, with Mediterranean stucco, arched entranceways and colorful tile inspired by Addison Mizner. By 1994, the Real Estate News wrote that the “exceedingly successful country club community is virtually sold out. The villages of Broken Sound Club have been overwhelmingly popular with buyers, offering unsurpassed lifestyle opportunities and an abundance of amenities in Boca’s most stylish country club setting.”

As world-renowned golf course designer Joe Lee planned Broken Sound Club's first golf course, he cited it as "the most peaceful setting I've ever worked in the middle of one of the fastest growing areas in the country." The only sound that broke the silence was the sound of a golfer swinging his club. Hence the name, Broken Sound, originated.

More of Broken Sound’s history will continue in future issues…

BROKEN SOUND CLUBTOPS 2017 ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS IN GOLF HONORS

FOR BEST OVERALL AND NATIONAL PRIVATEGOLF COURSES IN THE COUNTRY

Broken Sound Club has been chosen as the Overall and National Private recipient of the 2017 Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards (ELGA), which are presented annually by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and Golf Digest in partnership with Syngenta and Rain Bird’s Golf Division. Broken Sound ranks as the only Florida or Southeastern U.S.-based ELGA winner at the national or international leader level.

The Club will be recognized Feb. 7 during the Opening Session at the 2017 Golf Industry Show and featured in upcoming issues of Golf Digest and GCSAA’s magazine Golf Course Management.

Awardees are selected by an independent panel of judges representing national environmental groups, turfgrass experts, university researchers and valued members of the golf industry to recognize golf course superintendents and their courses for overall course management excellence and best management practices. Such practices include areas of water conservation, water quality management, energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste management, wildlife and habitat conservation, communication and outreach and leadership.

“The ELGA winners are not only stewards for the environment, but excellent examples of the focus our industry keeps on sustainable efforts,” said Rhett Evans, GCSAA CEO. “They are on the frontline of how superintendents are making great playing conditions and environmental management practices work in tandem.” According to GCSAA, BSC’s sustainability mission and efforts through the on-course stewardship of its Maintenance Director and Environmental Consultant Shannon Easter, the Club’s 115-acre, 36-hole facilities - BSC’s Club Course and The Old Course -demonstrate that golf courses can be a welcome habitat for native wildlife, including some endangered species. “This great honor recognizes the high standard our board leadership, membership and golf course maintenance team set for ourselves every single day ‘on and off’ our golf courses,” notes BSC GM and COO John Crean, CCE. “Our sustainability mandate combined with hospitality is the Club DNA that drives us, encouraging other communities, clubs and courses to follow suit.”

A New Year…A New You!5 Tips for the New Year guide you on the path to feeling and looking better.

1. Beautiful eyebrows – The shape of your eyebrows can completely change your face. If you can, leave it to the professionals. For daily care, you can use makeup to fill in the brows. Blinc (retailed in the Spa & Salon) makes a great product that combines a brush, tint and shaping all in one.

2. Stay Hydrated – Drinking water is one of the best things you can do to keep your skin looking young and glowing. The unfortunate truth about drinking water and skin is that water will reach all the other organs before it reaches the skin, so it is important to apply water to our skin and keep it there. Apply moisturizer immediately after your shower when the skin is still damp and porous. Adding a few drops of oil, such as the Jindilli Macadamia Oil, to your moisturizer can also increase the benefits.

3. Make Sleep a Priority – Beauty sleep is a real thing...lack of sleep can lead to premature aging, dull skin and overall poor health, and it should be a priority to get a minimum of seven hours of sleep a night. If the usual rules have not helped (similar bedtime routine, exercise, avoiding caffeine, etc.), try getting a regular massage or using aromatherapy. Massage directly influences the body’s production of serotonin, which is essential for the production of the melatonin that is needed for sleep.

4. Avoiding Dry, Damaged Hair – Don’t scrub shampoo through the length of your hair. When washing your hair only apply and scrub the shampoo into your scalp. When you rinse, the shampoo will rinse through the length of your hair. Always use conditioner after shampoo and a hair mask once a week. Comb wet hair from the ends up to the scalp. Pulling the comb through the scalp first can break your hair. Also be mindful of what kind of color you or your stylist uses.

5. Smile more often – Studies show that smiling can have a positive effect on your mood and decrease stress levels. Smiling releases endorphins that affect your overall happiness and these endorphins can cause production of white blood cells that can strengthen your immune system.


Spa & Fitness Expo - 2016


As a new year begins, the most common resolution is to begin an exercise program and start a diet. There is a burst of motivation after choosing what your diet and training plans would look like. That sense of moving in the right direction is exciting! There is just one problem – the actual long-term success rate of diets is dismal. Studies have shown that only one in five people is successful at keeping the weight off in the long run. So, let’s look at the most common reasons for failure, so you can get closer to becoming a happier, healthier you.

Poorly Defined Goals:Many people begin with only the vaguest of goals, and health and wellness is a journey, not a destination. Once you understand how much Lean Body Mass and Fat Mass you have, you will be in a better position to begin your program. The key is to create a goal-oriented plan that can keeps you on track. Using defined milestones toward that goal holds your plan together.

The Expectation of PerfectionThere’s nothing wrong with dreaming big when it comes to diet and exercise, but setting unrealistic goals and expecting perfection is not a recipe for success. We all have days when we “mess up,” but the trick is not to turn the cheat day into a cheat week. Taking on too much too soon is tough enough, but expecting perfection of yourself can lead to disaster. To be successful, stick to the plan as best as you can, but know that the occasional cheat days won’t undo your weeks/months of training and dieting. Forgive yourself and then move along.

An Imbalanced ApproachThe easiest mistake to make on your wellness journey is a lack of balance between diet and exercise, but it could have the biggest impact. The most effective way to help your body build lean mass and lose fat mass is through a regularly implemented strength training regimen AND an optimized diet. Your diet should be in line with your current body composition and body composition goals. Having a clearly defined goal means you can use the right tools to get results sooner and more consistently.

SAYING GoodByeBMI, or Body Mass Index, has long been held as the standard for measuring obesity, but it has been coming under increased pressure for many years for its failure to tell the whole story. Critics say it is too broad and does not really tell you anything about your body composition. So if BMI provides an incomplete health and wellness picture, how do you get the full picture? Body Composition! Body Composition is the amount of fat, lean body mass, etc. in your body. When you are measuring leanness, you must account for these factors; it cannot be as simple as height and weight.

The InBody machine in Fitness is the latest in cutting edge technology. The InBody test provides a comprehensive view of body composition balance. Body water, minerals, protein and body fat closely relate to the status of our health. These elements of body composition and body composition analysis provide basic information for assessing the status of our body.

Stop in to the Fitness Center or call 561-241-6878 to schedule your complimentary assessment with the InBody today.

For better fat loss, it’s always recommended to follow up your strength training with some cardio exercise. My personal favorite is the rowing machine for maximum calorie burning.

Learnin’ With VernonDefending the Poacher Have you ever played against that menacing figure at the net that seems to be 10 feet tall with an even longer arm span? I believe we have all played against this nemesis before, and my guess is that it was not just once. Here are a few things that you can do to cut this poacher down to size the next time you meet face to face...

If the net player is poaching in the middle of a point, hit the ball higher and deeper cross court. Although this may not be your style of play, this will make it difficult for the poacher to intercept the ball.

If the person at the net is poaching immediately after his/her partner is serving, hit a couple of returns down the line. The intent with this strategy is to have the poacher worry about the thought of the ball possibly going down the line. (Hitting a winner is a bonus!) Passing the ball by the poacher is not the main objective.

Another option is to hit a lob over the net person. Usually when a person is poaching, they are standing closer to the net. (If the poacher is standing closer to the service line, the lob is a difficult play. The play is much easier when the poacher is standing closer to the net.) If those three options do not work, play two back. This eliminates a target for the poacher (that target being the opponent at the net).

I am confident that with these strategies you will defeat that menacing poacher.


On Course

SocialSeen

Born in the heart of Transylvania on Christmas Eve 1981, Lorant learned very early on that festivities and traditions are what bind a family and a community together, and a creative spirit and desire to color outside the lines of conformity were instilled in him as a young man.

As a minority Hungarian growing up in Communist Romania, he was motivated to aim high, work hard and overcome the challenges that he faced, and he knew that to move forward, a good education was key. In addition to his schoolwork, some of his extracurricular activities included volunteering for numerous charity organizations, acting in musicals on the stage of the National Theatre, and taking language courses in English and French. He graduated in 2004, with a dual Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language and Literature and History.

Shortly after graduation, a friend suggested applying for work as a waiter at a country club in Florida during a break before enrolling in a Master's degree program in History. Although no one he knew in Transylvania had heard of Boca

Raton, he decided to take a chance on applying for his very first job. He thought, how hard could it be? They must serve Blintzes and Stuffed Cabbage there too!

Starting his new job at Broken Sound Club in 2004, on the same day as his boss, Tim Nelson, proved to be his saving grace, as Tim took him under his wing, and offered him a position in the Food & Beverage / Catering office. Lorant moved from Waiter to Catering Director during his 12 years at the Club and his journey still continues today. During this period, he pursued his education at Florida Atlantic University and in 2015 received a Master of Arts degree in History. He credits Tim Nelson, Ed Cichielo, Cathy Grana and John Crean for the opportunities given to him, for which he will forever be grateful.

As anyone knows who has planned a private party with Lorant or who has seen his creativity at work for Member-Member or New Year's Eve functions, his desire is to think outside the box and make every event a memorable one.

Party Perfect at Broken Sound


Member-Member PartyOn November 19, 2016, more than 400 members attended Broken Sound’s annual opening Member-Member Party, which signals the start of a new season. Members enjoyed a lavish cocktail hour and buffet reception, and danced to music provided by Euphoria.


New Membership Reception

Seventy new members were invited to attend a New Member Reception at the Club on Thursday, December 22, 2016. Representatives from the Membership Committee were there, as well as staff from Social, Fitness, Golf, Tennis and Children’s Activities, to welcome new members.


WELCOME TO THE BROKEN SOUND WOMEN’S CLUB! Our purpose is simply to enrich the lives of the women living in the community. To do so, we offer monthly luncheon meetings during the season, each with a fascinating speaker, plus out-of-club trips throughout the year to interesting locations, plus theater outings for matinee performances. Most of the trips include a bus and all include lunch at fine restaurants. (See page 38 for upcoming events.) Our monthly meetings are held on the third Thursday, from November through April, beginning with our huge Kick-off event, the Gala Fashion Show and Luncheon, which brings together over 400 members. As the photos illustrate, Women’s Club is a wonderful way to meet new friends and stimulate the mind and soul. We are the largest organization in all of Broken Sound, with a membership of 600 women. Won’t you join us? Call Rowena Kovler at 241-5486.


New Year’s EveMore than 1100 members and guests enjoyed New Year’s Eve in one of Broken Sound’s three venues. From the Gala in the Dining Room to early dinner in the Pelican Room to a family gathering around the pool, there was music from DJs and live music from Heat Wave.
