Message from the President

The change of seasons is an exciting time of year around the Princess Anne Country Club. As spring
approaches, we look ahead to warmer weather, longer days and enjoying the outdoors.

There are many opportunities for you to celebrate the arrival of spring at your Club. Join us for one
of our always popular wine dinners, invite a prospective member to join you for a round of golf or
Membership Mixer, or meet your girl friends for a glass of wine on Wednesday night. These are but a
few ways to shake off the winter doldrums and welcome spring’s arrival at PACC.

I look forward to setting the clocks forward and seeing everyone at the Club this spring!

Sincerely,

Jay Standing

Up-to-Date from the General Manager

As the Princess Anne enters into her second century it is inspiring to see strategic efforts to forge a clear path for
her future. Strategic Planning Committee Co-Chairs Gary Beck and John Gibson along with your Board of
Directors convened a five-hour strategic advance meeting January 19th and reviewed the Club’s strategic plans
crafted in 2004 and updated in 2009.The Board reviewed each section of the plans along with valuable feedback
shared by our Princess Anne family through last year’s Member survey.The Board and Operations Leadership
Team performed a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis for each section.
Additionally, Directors devoted considerable time reviewing the Club’s original purpose statement written into
the Articles of Incorporation in 1916 and current mission statement listed below:

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION PURPOSE CLUB MISSION STATEMENT

Directors engaged in Simon Sinek’s golden circle exercise, delving into the Princess Anne’s “Why.” I look forward to sharing more updates
as the Board of Directors continues their strategic planning process and would very much welcome your strategic thoughts about your Club.

KitchenFrom the Kitchen

Update from Chef Geoff Benson

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all the Members and Team that have made
my first few months at the Princess Anne as warm and welcoming as possible. I was truly
humbled by the turnout for both the Stag’s Leap wine dinner and the “Meet the Chef ”
event! What a great way to get started!
Despite the off-season, there is still a ton of activity in the kitchen here at the Princess
Anne. I am currently working with my Team to evaluate all of our processes for receiving,
storage and preparation of regular menu and special items. As both a tool to evaluate our
current skill levels and a way to bring a new approach to the table, we recently began nightly
dinner features. I hope to also use this as a sounding board of sorts as we begin planning
new clubhouse lunch and dinner menus. Feedback is always welcome as we strive to better
understand your preferences!
Moving forward, I plan to focus on streamlining the process of à la carte service, making lunch and dinner preparation
more consistent and efficient. A good portion of this effort will be redefining the responsibilities of each Team Member
and adjusting the way we assemble orders for delivery to the table. I am confident that we can vastly improve in this area.
I am also spending a good deal of time researching alternative vendors and looking to diversify our supply partners. I
am looking into several local fish purveyors and others up the coast for staple items. Ultimately, I would like to source a
good portion of our products from local vendors when possible. Winter puts a damper on produce supplies, but I hope to
identify several farmer’s markets and local farmers for use when spring kicks into gear.
Overall, the culinary team here has good “bones,” we merely need to refine some of our techniques and processes to better
service our membership. Getting to know each other better will be an integral part of this transition and that takes time. I
look forward to the challenges ahead and the growth of this unique group of people.

PACC Team Highlights

PACC Takes the Plunge!

For the first time ever, on Saturday, February 4th, a brave
group of our PACC Team members and friends jumped into
the freezing Atlantic to support the Special Olympics of
Virginia! The ‘PACC Plungers’ not only helped in raising the
festival’s total of 1.1 million dollars for Special Olympics of
Virginia, but they boldly ran into the ocean in show of their
support on a balmy, 36o winter day.

The 2017 Polar Plunge was one of the biggest in their 25-year event Before
history. But the plunge is much more than just an icy dip in the After
water; Special Olympics Virginia provides year-round sports training,
competition, leadership opportunities and health services to more
than 27,000 athletes of all abilities. They are helping to make the
world a better, healthier, and more joyful place - one athlete, one
volunteer, one family member, one plunger at a time.

Congratulations to our PACC Team for their fundraising efforts and
bravery in support of this wonderful cause!

Princess Anne Junior Golf Academy

Our Junior Golf Academy utilizes the Operation 36 platform developed by iGrow
Golf. The platform consists of three aspects: Education, Practice and Performance.
Through weekly classes, supervised practices and match play, young golfers advance
through six program levels, each with 12 “subjects” to master. A badge is earned for
mastery of a subject. Once all 12 badges have been earned, the golfer can move up to
the next level. The ultimate goal for each golfer, however, is to play nine holes from
their designated tee, shooting a score of 36. The program is app based, so students (and
parents) can track their progress, which makes it fun and competitive. On Saturdays,
when matches are played, we conduct ESPN-style interviews with match winners and
post them on our Facebook page. This is fun for our golfers and enhances their public
speaking skills.

Tennis Talk

Spring is right around the corner and it’s almost time for the bubble to come down! The bubble is tentatively scheduled
to be taken down on April 21st, but it all depends on the weather. Stay tuned for more details as the date approaches.

Ladies Spring Lunch League will also begin soon. We don’t have the schedule yet, but it usually starts mid-April. The
“B”Team (3.0-3.5 players) will play on Wednesdays at 9:30 am and the “A”Team (4.0-4.5 players) will play on Fridays
at 9:30 am. All ladies are encouraged to stay for lunch after the matches.

As for our 2017 Cup events, Virginia Cup will start us off on Saturday, April 29th. It is away at NYCC. The very next
day, Sunday, April 30th, we will host the Fun Cup and hope to bring home the trophy again! For the rest of our Cup
events and other tournaments, check out the Upcoming Tennis Event calendar.

Lift for Ball Machine

We have a new toy for you that was graciously donated to us by
Michael Marquart. It is a ball machine lift that elevates our ball
machine 12 feet in the air, enabling it to serve to you. The ball machine
faces downward when lifted up and can be made to hit serves at 100
mph to various targets inside the service box of your choice, as well as
impart any kind of spin you like. This is a wonderful tool to practice
the second most important shot in the game, the return of serve. Andre
Agassi, arguably the greatest returner of all time, spent countless hours
honing his returning skills on one of these machines. The machine is
available for rent at the usual rate of $15/hr. Members should reserve
an indoor hard court, as normal, and ask for the ball machine to be set
up and ready for you when you arrive. You will also be shown how to
operate it safely. Children under 14 should be accompanied by a parent
to use the lift as it is extremely heavy and can topple over.

John’s Tip: Building a Solid Tennis Workout and Flexibility Plan

Back in ‘32 when I was learning to play tennis, I became a huge believer in off court training with weights and various
apparatus. Not only to increase my all round fitness, agility and strength levels, but also to prevent injury, which I have to say
has allowed me to play almost injury free all of these years. The first phase of any tennis workout plan aims to build a solid
foundation of overall body strength. As with any athletic endeavor, strength is important to play the game well. Muscles,
ligaments, tendons, bones and joints must be conditioned for the sport. However, tennis places uneven stress on the body which
can lead to postural problems and injuries. This makes it even more vital to train the entire body to counteract any tendency to
develop imbalances.

The following tennis weight training routine is recommended to be performed twice a week for six to eight weeks. This allows
ample time for rest and recovery in between sessions. The main targets are the major muscle groups, which will strengthen the
whole body. These exercises are done during the off season.

Princess Anne Living | March/April 2017 28

TENNIS WORKOUT PLAN USING FREE WEIGHTS

Before doing the actual work out, start with any 10 minute aerobic warm up and some PHASE
dynamic (total body movement) stretches.

COOL DOWN WORKOUT STRETCH • Treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, jumping rope, • Side bending

jumping jacks • Groin stretching on stability ball

• Wrist circles • High knee kicks

• Arm circles – start from small to medium to full circles • Abdominal stretching over stability ball

• Trunk twisting • Rear kicks

• Toe touching

Around three sets of 12-15 repetitions are done per exercise using only 40-50% of the maximum weight load you
can do for one rep. Lifts should be smooth and controlled. Either free weights or machine weights can be used.
The rest interval between sets should be no more than 90 seconds.

The main part of the workout makes use of the exercises usually recommended for this initial phase of your tennis
workout plan:

• Air squats, jump squats or leg presses • Twisting crunches

• Bench presses or push ups • Shoulder presses

• Back extensions on stability ball • Standing barbell curls

• Lunges • Standing calf raises

• Single arm dumbbell rows • Barbell upright rows

An ideal tennis workout plan includes a cool down. After the work out, another 10 minutes are taken to cool down
with some static stretches. These static stretches are held for around 10 seconds.

• Wrist stretches • Groin stretches

• Tricep stretches • Quadriceps stretches

• Shoulder stretches • Hamstring stretches

• Chest stretches • Calf stretches

• Lower back stretches • Achilles stretches

The following exercises are specific for the rotator cuff and forearm and are done not just in the first phase but
throughout all phases.

• Horizontal external rotations • Internal rotations

• External rotations with knee support • Forearm pronation and supination

• External rotations while lying on one side • Wrist curls

The second phase of your tennis workout plan aims to develop maximum strength. The PHASE
exercises used during this period are more intense. If an athlete can train to attain maximum
strength, he or she has greater potential to develop more power and muscular endurance.

A tennis player should be able to hit the ball just as hard at the end of a long match as he
or she has at the beginning. This phase takes just about as long as the first phase (six to eight
weeks). Each exercise is done two to three times a week. Three to four sets of five to eight
smooth and controlled repetitions are done with a rest interval of three to four minutes.

The weight used is 80-90% of maximum capacity for one rep. Just as in the first phase, a proper warm up and cool
down should precede and conclude each work out session. The exercises used during this phase are the following:

• Barbell squats or lying leg presses • Shoulder shrugs

• Bench presses • Bent over rows

• Lat pull downs • Weighted crunches

29 Princess Anne Living | March/April 2017

In the third phase of a tennis workout plan, the maximum strength that was developed in the PHASE
previous period is now going to be converted to power and endurance. Exercises are now
more tennis specific in the sense that they mimic the movements used in the sport.

Movement Specific Exercises or Plyometrics

These movements are quick and explosive. Simple weight training is not the only component
anymore. Plyometric exercises must also be done.

These include jumping exercises and medicine ball throwing exercises. The length of this period is one to two
months. Each exercise is done no more than twice a week. Three sets of eight to ten reps with a rest interval of
three to four minutes should be performed. Like the previous phases, a proper warm up and cool down should
bookend each training session.

• Jump squats • Lateral hops with hurdles – player must be
• Medicine ball wall balls sideways to the hurdle and hop clockwise or
• Hurdle jumps with sprint counter-clockwise from one hurdle to the next.
• Medicine ball back over the head toss
• Slams – this is a medicine ball exercise where you
pick up the ball from the ground, hoist it over your
head and slam it back down as hard as you can.

Strength & Endurance Circuit Training

Aside from power-building plyometric exercises, a strength and endurance circuit training session should be done
twice a week. Schedule these such that they don’t fall on the same day that you will be doing your plyometrics.
Circuit training makes use of different body weight exercises each being done for one full minute.

After each exercise, a 30 second rest period is taken before moving on to the next exercise. After completing
all exercises, you have officially finished one circuit. A two-minute rest is taken between circuits until two or three
circuits have been completed. Needless to say, a proper warm up and cool down should be done before and
after a training session.

• Squat jumps • Box step Ups with high knee drive

• Push ups • Bench dips alternating

• Squat thrusts • Split squats alternating superman exercises – lie
• Sit ups with twist prone on the floor and lift up your left arm and
right leg off the ground for 10 seconds then do the
same with the opposite arm and leg.

Strength Training for Tennis

–By Tony Jaume

The Bent Row
The bend-over row is a compound resistance
training exercise to strengthen the muscles
of the shoulder girdle and elbow flexors, also
involving the rhomboids, traps, deltoids and
biceps.

The row activates numerous muscle
groups simultaneously, thereby improving
neuromuscular system efficiency. Since the
muscles of the shoulder girdle have to manage
high force output repeatedly during groundstrokes and the serve this exercise is valuable to ensure that these muscles have
adequate strength and endurance capabilities and overall shoulder joint integrity. Otherwise, shoulder injuries will occur in
the future.

Instructions:
Place one knee on a bench for support and plant the other foot on the floor. Bend over so your back is parallel with the
bench and grab your dumbbell. Pull the dumbbell to the chest while keeping your elbow close to your body and back nice
and flat. Finish with your elbow pointed to the ceiling and head in neutral. Return slowly to the starting position.

Building Good Habits for the Person You Want to Be

–By Tony Jaume

Building good habits is the foundation for success in the world. In the fitness realm, things are no different. Self-control,
discipline and confidence to execute a plan are needed to reach your goals.

It’s the small victories from day-to-day that start the process of building better habits. We have all been tested and felt weak.
We’ve been working out regularly, we’ve even packed our lunch, and then someone shows up with a box of donuts. “What the
heck! What am I going to do?” It’s that self-control, discipline and confidence that we have to trigger to say “no thanks.”Trust
in the process and know your hard work is going to pay off.

It seems ridiculous at first, like “you want me to turn down a donut?”

Yes, but I assure you that you won’t have to every time. You’ll be able to have some ice cream or a donut occasionally, but
first you have to sacrifice to establish good habits and eventually it will become second nature. See, I’ve learned that eating is
essential and that everything we eat not only directly affects our bodies but gives us the energy to complete our daily tasks.

Food is literally the body’s fuel and we are comprised of our choices. Therefore, we have to eat for who we want to be not
necessarily who we already are. For instance, if you are 250lbs and you want to be 210lbs, then stop feeding a 250lb person.
Don’t eat until you are stuffed; eating shouldn’t be looked at as sport or entertainment but as a method of survival. Eat to live,
don’t live to eat.

The beautiful part about fitness is that we all get a second chance. No matter what you look like, if you put the time and effort
in, you can make change. However, if you aren’t eating right, you aren’t maximizing your results. Building good eating habits is
a great way to work smarter, not harder.
