      GO FOR THE
EAGLEMARCH 2021 - Gleneagles Country Club
Dear Members,
                             Although 2020 and 2021 have not been what any of us expected, we have all enjoyed
                             the best country club lifestyle possible given the circumstances, and it has been an
                             honor and privilege to go through these challenging times with the Gleneagles family.

                             Despite these challenges, the club is performing well financially, club amenities
                             continue to be well utilized by members, and member and employee morale is very
                             high. We are all truly lucky to be enjoying this lifestyle together.

                             As part of the ongoing Strategic Plan, the Veranda renovation is planned to start in
        Kraig Spina          the next 60 days. The management team developed a comprehensive business plan
           general           with oversight from the Board of Governors, the Budget & Finance Committee and
           manager           the Construction Oversight Committee. We will share some highlights on page 4 and
                             5. We anticipate the proposed Veranda construction to take place in early Spring.

                             The Annual Membership Meeting will be on February 23 at 8:00 pm. In order to ensure
                             we offer a safe meeting but ensure that everyone can participate, we will broadcast the
                             meeting on our YouTube channel. The new Board will be introduced and there will be
                             reports from the outgoing Club President and Treasurer. Immediately following the
                             meeting, the Board will elect officers for the 2021-2022 year.

                             Committee applications will be mailed March 3 and the deadline to return them is
                             March 17. Committees are a valuable resource to the Board of Governors, Leadership
                             Staff and as Member Representatives. We encourage you to consider submitting an
                             application to serve on a committee this year.

                             Our Real Estate sales are very strong. Year over year, we are at double the overall
                             volume of sales compared to last year, so our sales continue to exceed even our pre-
                             pandemic expectations.

                             The club has been aggressively marketing our country club lifestyle online, and we
                             are very pleased with the results of our digital campaign in the first quarter of 2021.
                             Once again, we are grateful to the members who assist with our membership sales
                             process by recommending the Club to friends and family members.

                             Thank you to everyone who attended Roundtable meetings in January. Roundtables
                             will continue through March to discuss the upcoming Veranda renovation and other
                             Club projects. We are planning several more in the weeks ahead. Please contact our
                             Office Manager, Catherine Tirino, at 561-498-3606 ext. 131 or ctirino@gleneagles.cc to
                             inquire about available dates.

                             As we prepare for summer 2021, we hope that many of our members will choose to
                             spend their summer with us. The Club will soon be distributing a survey where we
                             will be asking for you to let us know about your summer plans. Our hope is that many
                             of our members will again choose to spend more of their summer at Gleneagles, and
                             we look forward to a summer full of fun and safe events.

                             We want to thank our membership for their support and the many Board Members
                             and Committee Members who served our club in the past year. We truly could not
                             have gone through the many challenges and modifications to our business model
                             without your guidance and support. Along with the entire staff, I look forward to
                             working with our entire staff, the 2021-2022 Board of Governors and newly appointed
                             committee members who will be guiding our club through the next year.

                             Respectfully yours,
                                Kraig Spina, General Manager

COVER STORY

    Veranda
    re-imagined
      At Gleneagles, our goal is to provide best in class member
      experiences. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged the
      club to think more creatively than ever, we have always approached our
      venues from a creative perspective that would accommodate a variety
      of member experiences, from event space, to dining venues, to fitness
      venues, and even meeting and work spaces.

      THE VISION
      We are very excited to let you know that the club will soon
      start to make some planned renovations to our Veranda.
      The Veranda, which opened in 2015, has been a
      wonderful addition to the club experience, and the
      planned renovations will result in a more functional,
      refined, versatile, and flexible space. The elements that
      our members love about the Veranda – the fire pits, rich
      natural wood ceiling, and panoramic views of the golf
      course – will be enhanced in the new concept.

ENHANCING YOUR EXPERIENCE
Quite often one of the first questions asked when
investing dollars in club facilities, is what ROI (return
on investment) can we expect? As Gleneagles is not a
traditional for-profit business, we can’t evaluate the
investment the same way. With this being said of private
clubs in general, the ROI may be thought of as the ROE-
Return on Experience.
With 60% of our members being year-round residents,
we are committed to using all available spaces year-
round. With the ability to transition from outdoor
dining to a venue protected from the elements, the
proposed Veranda facility will be more versatile and
adapt quickly to changes in the South Florida weather.      VERSATILITY

                                Gleneagles’ Lucky Charms
                                In January, when the COVID-19 vaccine became available in Florida, Gleneagles initially reached
                                out to county, state, and hospital resources in an attempt to provide vaccinations on property to
                                our members. After realizing the hurdles that our members were facing, Gleneagles staff took
                                matters into their own hands to ensure that every member who was interested in a vaccine had the
    KRISTEN                     opportunity to get one as soon as possible.
    LARAIA
                                What started out as a campaign to share every resource possible with our membership turned into
    DIRECTOR OF
    MEMBERSHIP
                                a comprehensive vaccine assistance program. At the peak of the program, almost 200 members
    & MARKETING                 had requested assistance. By February 15, as a result of notifications to our membership when new
    561-637-1201                opportunities became available, and an organized effort by the staff members and club members
                                who graciously offered to book appointments for others, we completely cleared our list of members
                                in residence at the club and in need of assistance. It was not uncommon for our team to collectively
                                book 20 to 30 appointments for members in a day, and we had a team on standby seven days a week.
                                The vaccine assistance program played an integral role in many of our seasonal and especially
                                Canadian members’ plans to return to Gleneagles. Many of these members planned to stay at
                                their other residence and get fully vaccinated prior to making the trip to Florida. However, after
                                learning about the success the club was having in making appointments for our members, and
                                slower vaccination rollouts around the country, many of these members decided to make the trip
                                earlier than expected as they felt the likelihood of getting completely vaccinated was significantly
                                higher at Gleneagles.
                                In the first five weeks of Florida’s rollout of the vaccine, more than 300 members reported to the
                                club that they are fully vaccinated, and we have hundreds more who are awaiting their second
                                shot. As vaccination opportunities expand in Florida to include younger age groups, our assistance
                                program at the club will expand until we ensure that every member who is interested in a vaccine
                                has an opportunity.
                                We continue to welcome our seasonal residents back to the club, and it is truly our pleasure to
                                arrange for a vaccine appointment shortly after your arrival to Gleneagles.

    eye cream or moisturizer as you dot it on your
    skin? What’s in your products is important

    body products, ingredients and where they are

     32oz. Margaritas. We are wasting no time in
     bringing back our famous Lobster Night on
     Saturday, March 6, 13 and 20. This is a popular
     event and we recommend everyone to go on to
     the waitlist – the waitlist will receive priority

                                                         spring is
     for the following week’s Lobster Night.
     Your Food & Beverage team is excited to
     bring you two educational afternoons on the

     Veranda. On Thursday, March 11, Chef Chris
     will provide you with hands-on instruction
     on the topic of Scallops, from selection to
     cleaning to preparation. The second of the
     two events is Tuesday, March 16 with our
     resident wine expert, Jason Forrestall. He will
     be providing an introductory class on wine
     which will consist of regionalism, varieties
     and tasting of red and white wine. Lite snacks
     will be included with this experience.
     The member-favorite Deli Night returns with
     an à la carte menu on Sunday, March 7 and
     Tuesday, March 9. On Saturday, March 21
     and Tuesday, March 23, Chef Chris will bring
     you delicacies from around the world on
     International Flavors nights.
     The Veranda will be open for dinner every
     Wednesday night and every other Friday
     evening. We will be offering a variety of pizzas,
     burgers, wings, salads and desserts. Space
     remains limited on the Veranda so please
     make your reservations early.
     We will not be able to offer an in-club Passover
     Seder service. Our delivery program will
     be offering a holiday meal including gefilte
     fish, matzo ball soup, brisket & chicken,
     dessert and Manischewitz wine. We will have
     individual dinners, Seder plates and an à la
     carte menu available for the holiday.
     The second night of Passover on Sunday,
     March 28 we will be bringing back our
     Traditional Buffet with all the safe guards
     of social distancing. It is always a popular
     evening. As you can see, we enter March in
     like a lion, but we are certainly not going out
     like a lamb.

                                                                  director of golf

                                            March is here, and what a special month we have in store
                                            for you, complete with even a little March madness!
                                            2021 has been a great year. Golf continues to be our
                                            member’s favorite activity, with lots of great golf, an
                                            amazing amount of holes-in-one and a comprehensive
                                            tournament schedule that our members have enjoyed all
                                            winter.
                                            The weather has been perfect, with only a handful of cold
                                            and rainy days. From the members to the staff, we have
                                            all had some fun, but we are all keeping safety as our top
                                            priority. There truly has been no better place to live and
                                            play during the past year, and as employees, trust me
                                            when I say that this is the best club to work at during these
                                            challenging times also. Thank you to our membership
                                            for treating everyone as if we are a family, always putting
                                            safety first, and for showing up every day with a smile
                                            under your mask and ready to enjoy this amazing life we
                                            have at Gleneagles.
                                            March is the Club Championship month for men and
                                            women in all leagues, and we eagerly anticipate the
                                            friendly competition and sportsmanship that will result in
                                            ultimately crowning new Club Champions. As has become
                                            tradition, we look forward to inviting all of our golf
                                            members to spectate the final few holes of the final round
                                            so that we can all be together as we find out our new Club
                                            Champion. Good luck to all!

                                             PRO TIP: PRACTICE TIME
                                             With everyone playing more golf due to it being such a safe
                                             and enjoyable outdoor activity, practice time has become a
                                             very important part of the day for many of our members over
                                             the past year. All it takes is a 20 minute warm up before your
                                             tee time to get in a quality practice session, as long as you
                                             spend the time right. Make sure you mix up your practice

       swinging into                         routine – make this work for you. Don’t start with the driver
                                             – start with some chips and short shots, and work your way

SPRING
                                             up to the fairway woods and the driver, and be sure to get
                                             in some putts. Take your time – make each shot count, just
                                             like if you were out on the course. With practice, remember
                                             that it is never how many balls you hit but how good you hit
                                             each one. Build that good visual of the golf ball and a good
                                             balanced finish, and if you are falling off the shot, slow it
                                             down. Remember to keep good balance throughout the shot
                                             and good arm speed as well. As always, any questions about
                                             the game, just stop in and see any one of the professionals!
