Family Fun Golf Day

On December 28, over 225 members and guests participated in our 4th Annual
Family Fun Golf Day. This popular event was highlighted by a 4 hole fun course, 14
hole tournament, free lessons and clinics, and the 25 foot tall inflatable Golfzilla.
This year I was joined by two special guests for a long drive clinic and exhibition.
Maude-Aimee Lablanc, one of the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour player and Steve Kois, Bonita Bay
Club fitness trainer and World Long Drive Competitor. The spectators were wowed by some massive
drives and fun-filled trick shots.

Handicap
arry

“Peer Review” is the ability of players to gain an understanding of a player’s potential ability and to form a
reasonable basis for supporting or disputing a score that has been posted. This opportunity presents itself
when players have a reasonable and regular opportunity to play together. Group leaders are in the best
position to observe whether or not participants are posting an accurate score in accordance with handicap
rules. Infractions can include regularly taking improper drops, improved lies, more strokes than necessary
to inflate a score for handicap purposes, and more. Peer Review supports the goal we are striving for -
promoting a fair and level playing field.

The club provides access to scoring records and a handicap index list for inspection by others including, but not
limited to, fellow club members. Through the “member handicap look-up” function at our posting kiosks or on the
GHIN site, members can review fellow golfers’ posting records and handicap index. Records can be obtained by
contacting a member of the Professional Staff or a member of the Handicap Committee.

We depend on members to make peer review a viable tool and to do so responsibly. Should you have a question
about or an issue with a player in your group, please contact the Handicap Committee at [email protected] for
suggestions on how to resolve the issue.

My partner doesn’t like the net, how do I fix it?

 
Anyone who has seen me play knows that I LOVE playing the net. If my partner hates the net, my
job is to figure out a way to win anyway.
First, I have to accept a few things. It’s going to be a tough day at the office and I will have to do
most of the work.
I have to dominate the net and be steady from the baseline to pull my partner through.But how?

Initially, I tell them to stand very close to the net, probably 3 yards away. It takes space away from
our opponents and sends a message that my partner is here to play.

My main job is to make my partner comfortable and my opponents troubled. I have to force my opponents into hitting shots that
go into my partner’s comfort zone.  I have to push them back or bring them in, depending on what they dislike most. That way they
can’t pick on my partner. I have to set my partner up for success.

If they are missing easy putaway volleys, I sometimes remind them during the match to just watch the ball. It sounds easy and
simple but taking your eye off the ball is often the root cause for mishitting slow floaters.
 
In addition, I’m always connecting with my partner after every point, physically through a fist bump or high five, verbally by frequent
encouragement and spiritually by reminding them often that “We Will Win This”.

Tennis

Please Welcome our new Tennis Professional!

Coming back to the Bonita Springs area is a homecoming for my wife and me.  We met 9 years ago while
teaching in Naples and lived in a house less than 7 minutes away from Bonita Bay Club.  While traveling
the world, exploring and teaching tennis in places such as China, Australia, and Puerto Rico, we always
spoke of coming back to the area.  In the past 3 years, we have seen our family grow with the addition of
2 children (Kayden-3 and Wyatt-1) and we really longed to come back home and raise our family.

Professionally, I am certified by the PTR and Tennis Australia.  I’ve been fortunate to be a
member of the Tennis Congress and was honored to be named the Captain of the Puerto Rican Jr. Feder-
ation Cup (FedCup) team.  I have taught in over 10 countries and have learned from some great teachers
of the game.  I was a 4-year All-Conference player in both singles and doubles at Belmont University in
Nashville, TN. I feel it is such a great honor to be working alongside Paula, Dominique, Jamie and the staff
at Bonita Bay Club.  Bonita Bay Club is a club I have always tried to emulate at every facility I have worked. 

I look forward to meeting all of you in the near future.

My partner is strugging with their serve, how can I help?

We have all heard the saying, “If the server loses their serve the net player (terminator) is to blame.”  While that
is true to some degree, what if the server is struggling with his/her serve? What are some simple things that you
can do to help the partner gain confidence in their serve? 

1. Communicate - Avoid putting pressure on the server by using the phrase, “make a good first serve here.” 
Use other things such as positive talk, “You have been killing them with your serve to their backhand” or “hit
a second serve as your first serve and use your great first volley.”  Anything to change the mindset and relieve
pressure of hitting a “good first serve”.

2. Poach or fake - Every single serve you should either poach or fake a poach. Your job as the terminator is to
make the returner worry about you crushing a put-away volley.  If you are not moving or faking, you make their
returners target much bigger.

3. Start in a different position at the net - This can be either a little back to protect the lob, closer to the center strap and force
them to hit a return down the line (low percentage).  Your job as the “terminator” is also to be the “intimidator” forcing your
opponents into a low percentage return.

How to Cover the Lob

Jamie Stevenson
USPTA/PTR Professional
USRSA Master Racquet Tech

The feared lob. We all know it is eventually coming, but how do we cover it? Here are a few pointers:
• Call ALL lobs, even the obvious ones.
• The lob should be called by the person whose head the lob is going over.
• Call it immediately.
• The close person (terminator) should only get lobs as far back as the service line.
• As a result, they should put away all overheads they receive.
• The worker bee (if they are at the net/service line) should hit the lob back crosscourt unless they

come in front of the service line and then they should hit the winner.

A New Year, a New Workout

Year after year, people resolve to lose weight, to eat healthier, and to exercise more. In fact, nearly 40%
of all Americans make some type of New Year’s resolution for self improvement, but along the way many
things happen to derail these good intentions and only about 8% of those who make resolutions actually
achieve their goals.

About 15% of all New Year’s resolutions are directly related to exercise, and it’s not easy sticking to a
regular routine. Furthermore, it’s easy to see why many people give up after just a couple of weeks.
For some, it’s time and/or money. For others it’s pain, fatigue and/or boredom, but working out doesn’t have to be
something you dread.

Tips for making exercise a part of a healthy lifestyle:

• Do it for yourself: you are more likely to stick to a diet and exercise program if you are doing it because
you want to, not because you want to fit into a certain outfit or look good for a certain event.

• Schedule your workout like you would any other important meeting or event: pick a time when you know
you will have energy.

• Baby steps: you didn’t get out of shape overnight, you’re not going to instantly transform either.

• Book with a personal trainer: it will be an investment in your health and the trainer will keep you
motivated and accountable.

• Try something new: variety will keep you from getting bored.

• Buddy up: working out with a friend or taking a class can make working out more enjoyable and can help
to keep you accountable.

• Make it fun: choose activities that you enjoy.

• Take it outside: try walking or running outdoors, kayaking, biking, or paddle boarding.

Reminders

New Fitness Center Hours: Beginning January 1, the Fitness Center will be open from

Fight Back Against Parkinsons: Rock Steady Boxing

Have you ever tried buttoning up your shirt with gloves on? How about
handwriting a letter in a moving car? What if you tried walking around
during the day with shoe laces that will suddenly tie themselves together? What I've just
described is what over a million Americans with Parkinson’s experience everyday of their life.
This condition has a way of chipping away at the seemingly simple things we do on a daily
basis, first, by physically altering the way a person moves their limbs, walks and eventually
stands up. But, social isolation, depression, and cognitive decline can also slowly take their life
away.
The good news for you or that person you know with Parkinson's is that we have found a
way to FIGHT BACK! A way to stand up to Parkinson's and live a good, full life, with hope
and dignity! It is called Rock Steady Boxing, a nationally recognized and global movement to
combat this progressive, degenerative neurological disorder. 
Rock Steady Boxing at Bonita Bay offers a challenging workout that is fun and appropriate for
this group. Boxing seeks to improve the very elements Parkinson's disease takes away, agility,
speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, balance, hand-eye coordination, footwork and overall
strength. Each facet is trained under the supervision of caring professionals in a group setting
with other folks going through the same thing together. One of the greatest benefits of this
program is the social interaction between the members as they share similar struggles and
fight the same battle. The exercises bring in traditional boxing style moves while adjusting for
each person's fitness level. Before you go out and buy a mouth guard though, these are non-
contact exercises so no one gets hurt but everyone gets a great workout!
To get started, call the Fitness Center at 495-1937 to schedule your Rock Steady Boxing
assessment with one of our RSB coaches. The assessment is used to determine the right
placement for all new participants so that we can determine the most appropriate level of
exercise for you. Classes are offered Tuesdays & Thursdays, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and
Saturdays 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. We encourage all of those who have Parkinson’s whether you
are newly diagnosed or have been living with it for decades to join our Rock Steady Boxing
community.

Conditioning for Golf and Tennis Is in Full Swing at the Fitness Center

Our professionals at the Fitness Center have teamed up with our Golf and Tennis professionals to create a number of
programs to improve your game and your fitness levels so that you can play the game(s) that you love longer and with less
pain and risk of injury. These programs range from complimentary lectures to one on one customized training.
Check out the events below and see what’s right for you!

For the Tennis enthusiast:

Strengthen the Game You Love: Strength & Conditioning for Tennis
January 25
11:15 a.m.
Complimentary

Collin Brown, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Technogym Master Trainer, TPI Certified Golf Fitness
Professional, and former Head Tennis Professional for the Ritz Carlton Tiburon will give an overview as to
why it is so important for you to condition for tennis rather than letting the sport condition you. Specifically,
he will discuss how strength and conditioning can not only improve performance but how this will help you
reduce your risk of injury.

Fundamentals of Movement on the Court
January 31
2:00 p.m. (January 31, February 2, February 7, and February 9)
Fee: $60 (all four sessions); drop in rate: $20/ class as space allows

In this four-session workshop, NASM Personal Trainer, Collin Brown will teach you how to control your body and to move
more efficiently so that you can sustain your energy and move better on the court. Dress to workout!

Developing Rotational Power for Tennis
March 7
2:00 p.m. (March 7, 9, 14, and 16)
Fee: $60 (all four sessions); drop in rate: $20/ class as space allows

As tennis players, we know core strength plays one of the biggest roles in developing power in the swing. That being said,
the ability to do a 5-minute plank isn’t going to translate into a consistent, powerful ground stroke. If the player isn’t able
to disassociate the lower from the upper half of the body, it is difficult to generate power and efficiency. In this four-
session workshop, Collin Brown, NASM Personal Trainer will teach you how to create the separation in your upper and
lower body that you need for a powerful swing, how to load and release, and most importantly where to start given your
own limitations and abilities.

For our golfers:

January 11: Golf Fitness Training for Women
4:00 p.m. (January 11, 18, February 1, & 8)
Fee: $225

Join Megan Padua, Bonita Bay Golf Instructor and Erica Hemmer, Level 2 TPI Certified Golf Fitness Professional for a four-
week workshop that takes training beyond the walls of the Fitness Center. All
sessions will begin with a golf-specific warm up led by Erica to prepare the body
for work (or play). Week one will be held on the driving range and will focus on
the Full Swing. Week two will be held in the Fitness Center and participants will
learn exercises to improve limitations in mobility, stability and strength that were
identified in week one. Week three will be back on the range and will focus on the
short game. Week four will be back in the Fitness Center for more exercises.

February 6: Improving Golf Performance with Med Ball Training
4:00 p.m. (February 6 & 13)
Fee: $30 (two sessions)

The benefits of Med ball training goes beyond the gym. Specifically, using medicine balls can be
very effective for improving club head speed and improving golf performance. This type of training
allows you to accelerate through the finish, and it is explosive and helps to create power. Join Steve
Kois, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and TPI Certified Golf Fitness Instructor, for this two-session
workshop to learn and practice exercises using the medicine ball.

One on one: Customized, Sport-specific Training

It is rare to find someone who is serious about improving their game that doesn’t recognize the value of fitness in
performance and for minimizing the risk of injury. And while there are hundreds of exercises and workout programs
that you could pull off of the internet for improving your swing for both tennis and golf, these programs often fall short.
These exercises are for the general population and are not specific to your needs and/or limitations. Any good strength
and conditioning program starts with an assessment of your specific goals and limitations and your exercise prescription
is built from the results of this assessment. The bottom line is that if you don’t test, it’s just a guess! This is where our
TPI based Golf Fitness Training and the Be the Best You Can Be (Tennis) programs come in.

TPI based Golf Fitness Training starts with the movement screen… a series of 16 tests
to determine limitations in your mobility and stability as it relates to the golf swing. The
results of this evaluation should be encouraging as you will have taken the next step to
playing the game you love a little bit better and a little bit longer.
A failed assessment is not a failure; it should be viewed as opportunity for improvement.
We will build your customized exercise program based on the results of this screen and
what can make the biggest improvement in your swing. We will work with your TPI
Certified Golf Professional to give you an experience like that which the tour players experience.

There are a number of packages available that combine golf as well as fitness instruction or you can choose from an a
la carte menu that includes the movement screen, a strength and power screen, one-on-one training, a K-Vest swing
analysis, and biofeedback on the K-Vest. To schedule your one-on-one golf-specific training, call the Fitness Center at
495-1937.

Be the Best You Can Be is a program like none that we have offered before that brings our tennis
professionals and our fitness professionals together to make you a better player. The program begins
with an on-court evaluation with both the tennis and fitness professionals. They will look at the
way you move to a shot and how you hit the ball. Then, our professionals will meet to review the
videos and will email an overview of what they saw, potential causes whether that be in technique
or physical limitations, and some basic recommendations for improving. A key component of this program is the
physical assessment that comes after the on-court evaluation. Players will schedule a follow-up session with our fitness
professional who will take them through a detailed evaluation using specific tests to determine limitations in mobility,
stability, and strength that correlate to performance issues. This information will be used to develop a customized
program for the player, prioritizing the exercises that will make the biggest impact on their game.

Be the Best You Can Be will be offered on January 17 and 19. Members interested in this program should call the Tennis
Center 495-3573 to schedule their on-court evaluation.

Featured Spa Service Provider
Mayra Castro Discusses Dermaplaning

When it comes to skincare, we often get to a point where we consider seeking outside
help. As we start getting older, we may notice that our skin has lost its luminosity. We
have developed a fuzzy face and realize that the over-the-counter remedies that we've
been using are simply not as effective anymore. This is when some of us decide to seek
professional help. The answer is Dermaplaning (also known as Dermablading), with many
benefits for your skin.

Nearly everyone has tiny hairs on their face. While these hairs are completely natural,
they can be a huge inconvenience for women. These hairs often catch foundation and
concealer, making makeup look cakey. Dermaplaning removes these hairs along with dead
and dry skin cells. Without them, you can put on your foundation, concealer, and blush
flawlessly and easily.

Part of the reason skin begins to wrinkle and sag with age is the accumulation of dry, dead skin cells. This is because
as you get older, your body’s natural rate of exfoliation slows down significantly. By removing this top layer of dead
skin cells, you are both compensating for the slower rate of exfoliation and spurring the production of collagen, a
protein that makes skin tighter, smoother, and more youthful looking.

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective physical exfoliation procedure. It requires the use of a sterile, surgical
scalpel to gently "shave" the skin's surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair (aka
peach fuzz). The procedure can be performed monthly with no downtime. Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs, as
opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker. 
 
The Benefits
Dermaplaning is especially effective on those with dry or rough skin texture and helps to minimize superficial acne
scarring or uneven skin tone. It is also beneficial for mature skin, which tends to have a buildup of dead cells as
cellular turnover slows down with age.
This is also great for hyper pigmentation because it helps fend off the things in your body that inhibit production of
melanin, which is what gives your skin its color.

Does facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
Absolutely not, this is a total myth, and one I hope goes away forever soon! We are not changing the structure of your
hair follicle by simply shaving the vellus hair from your face. For centuries, women have been removing unwanted
facial hair with various methods that are often more painful and no more effective than shaving. With that said, I
don’t recommend using a standard razor and shaving cream. Dermaplaning is different from the way men shave in
two key ways: we shave on dry skin and use small upward strokes. Also, while men benefit greatly from shaving daily,
Dermaplaning is going to give far greater exfoliation benefits than a razor with shaving cream.

It may not be for every woman, but I personally love the way it makes my skin soft, smooth, bright and dewy!

To book your next Dermaplaning Treatment, call Spa Reservations at 239-495-0600 and request “Mayra.”

Happy New Year!

Have you taken notice of what is new this year to the wine program? We now pair each of the
Chef’s weekly a la carte dinner entrée features to a hand-selected wine by the glass. These
couplings emphasize classic pairings to maximize your enjoyment of Chef Richard’s culinary
delights. Additionally, our wines by the glass have been revamped to include a greater variety
of offerings and regional diversity. Rest assured, your favorite pours remain but exciting new
options are abound, like Côtes du Rhône, Spanish Albariño, and Côtes du Provence Rosé. If
you are seeking something more esoteric, take a look at our new “For the Adventurous Palate”
section on the bottle wine list. It details our selected offerings of lesser-known varietals and
bottlings from unique growing regions.

Be sure to make your Wine Dinner reservations early, as they tend to sell out quickly during peak season. Our first dinner
of the 2017, on January 18, features the reserve wine selections of Beaulieu Vineyard, more casually known as BV. We
will be joined by Assistant Winemaker Rob Fischer, who will present these iconic wines to us. Reservations are also open
for February 22nd, when we welcome back our friend Frank Baroudi, Owner and Winemaker of Puro Uno. This regionally
themed dinner will feature the latest and greatest from Argentina’s famed Mendoza region.

Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year!

Food For Thought
With the Holidays a fond memory, the New Year brings with it a fresh page to be filled with
wonderful experiences here at your club. With all the bustle and chaos going on outside the gates,
we look forward to providing diverse and accessible offerings right here at your doorstep if you
choose to not fight the crowds. We are excited for all the energy this season brings to Bonita Bay
Club!

For those of you that were with us throughout the summer and fall, look forward to all the new
offerings and menu items that have shown up for our winter line up. For our returning members,
we have worked very hard revamping and revitalizing our menus and offerings. A renewed concentration on
seasonality and diversity is apparent across our culinary offerings. For the more adventurous be sure to check out
the wine dinners with expert pairings by Joseph, truly evenings to remember. Finally, my favorite event, The Seafood
Extravaganza is close on the horizon. It is a treat to bring such a wide selection of delectable food to the membership.

My team and I are excited for you to join us and enjoy all the fresh and flavorful choices.
Cheers and Good Eating!
Chef Richard Brumm, CEC, CCA
