Dear Members,
                            Traditionally spring is a time of hope, a time of renewal. The world has
                            been suffering through a worldwide pandemic for well over a year now.
                            Finally, vaccines have brought us hope that there is light at the end of
                            the tunnel, light after all the darkness.

                            The Board and management have spent countless hours working on
                            issues surrounding the pandemic. Action is taken based on the best
      Deborah Benson        information available to us at the time of the decision. By the time
        club president      you read this, we will have been allowing immediate family guests to
                            enjoy some of the amenities of Gleneagles – golf, tennis, most satellite
                            pools, the Healthy Lifestyle Center and the spa. Many families are very
                            grateful to be able to enjoy these activities with their family members.
                            As conditions warrant, more adjustments to our protocols will be
                            initiated.

                            We have reinstituted many of the services members are accustomed to
                            enjoying – towel services, card rooms, drink stations at golf, tennis and
                            in the card rooms, locker room showers, and pedestrian walking on the
                            Victory golf course. A bit of normalcy returning to the Club.

                            Thankfully most of our membership is fully vaccinated. Assistance
                            is being offered to our employees to help them secure vaccine
        Kraig Spina         appointments. Hopefully most of our staff will also be fully vaccinated
           general
                            soon.
           manager
                            As many repairs and maintenance tasks have been completed during
                            our closure, the Club will not be closed this summer. This is great news
                            for those of us who live here year-round!

                            The Board had a two-day orientation in April. Among other things we
                            accomplished, we updated and revised our strategic plan. Gleneagles
                            has a plan going forward and our future is bright. Our sales continue to
                            be strong which help us accomplish our capital projects. In fact, we are
                            on track to exceed the number of sales we had in our best year ever –
                            awesome news!

                            Construction on the Veranda will begin early in May. We are hopeful
                            that the project will be completed in about 7 to 8 months. There will be
                            no new assessment to members for this renovation.

                            Whether you are here in Delray Beach or have returned to another home
                            elsewhere, I hope you are safe and healthy and continue to enjoy all the
                            wonderful things life offers you.

                           Respectfully yours,

    Meet the Jacobs and Rosenberg/Kline Family: Neal,

    in March 2021. The Jacobs family has been visiting Jennifer’s
    parents, Carol Kline and Donald Rosenberg, who have been
    at Gleneagles for the past five years.
        “We love so many activities at Gleneagles
        including golf, Pickleball, the pools, the
      card room, dining by the pool, the spa, the
         walking path—pretty much everything!
    “Since we have loved our time visiting our parents at
    Gleneagles, we are so excited to buy a place where our
    family can spend many wonderful years together and
    share many more laughs and memories,” remarks
    Jennifer.

                                                             Jean is that his appreciation for Gleneagles
                                                             led him to having his sons join the team while

                        April 2021 became the busiest month for
                        membership sales in recent history with
                        40 membership sales this month. Since
                        1999, the previous two highest months
                        were April 2014 with 27 and May 2018
                        with 20.
                        The 2020-2021 fiscal year, which ends
                        on October 31, has already seen 74 sales
    through April 8, which is the same volume of sales that took
    place during the entire 2019-2020 fiscal year.
    Why are new membership sales soaring? There are many
    reasons, but the pandemic has made many people realize
    that living in a respectful and caring community with
    safe indoor and outdoor amenities to enjoy is an absolute
    necessity during these extraordinary times. With many areas
    of the country facing restrictions on indoor dining, fitness
    use, and other activities, combined with a bitter winter,
    Florida winter has never looked better. The club’s response
    to the pandemic, including the relatively low incidence
    of the virus and common sense precautions, also made a
    great impression on prospective members for the past year
    and instilled confidence in our operations. Included in our
    new membership sales are 21 renters who purchased. This
    number is significantly higher than in previous years, and a
    testament to the first-class experience our renters enjoyed at
    the club this past winter.
    The membership team is working hard to welcome these
    many new families to our wonderful club. If you see a new
    face around the community, be sure to introduce yourself as
    this is likely a new member!

                 After a great serve, a deep, well-placed return and all the careful dinks
                 and touch shots, there comes a time when every Pickleball player must
                 resort to a remarkably difficult shot: The overhead smash. The need
                 arises in an instant, and many players get caught a little slow to react, or
                 unsure how to deal with a high, floating ball that threatens to get past
                                                                                                 We always install a

                 When you first begin to move for the overhead it is also very important
                 to quickly choose a specific, reasonable target on the opponent’s side of
                 the court. There is never a bad time to hit the overhead down the middle
                 as it is the safest target and may cause confusion between the opponents
                 as to who should try to return the shot. The closer you are to the net the
                 easier it is to go for more angles.
                 Prepare early and pick a smart target to make your overhead a weapon
                 whenever it is needed!
