    2021 marks the year I embark on a long-awaited journey to my final certification level of Certified Master Chef (CMC) through the American Culinary Federation (ACF). There are only 71 of them in the world, and there is a reason why… the test is one of the hardest in the world.

    The previous format for the CMC practical exam was that of an eight-day rigorous test. It has since been restructured into two 4-day formats. 2021 is the first time that this format will be implemented.

    First four-day focus is on: Freestyle, Nutrition, Global Cuisine (35 dishes), Baking and Pastry.

    Second four-day format is on: Buffet Catering, Classical, European Cuisine (27 dishes), Market Basket.

    Within these tests are very specific competency requirements, precise schedules, and numerous parameters to process. A test date was set up for March 18-22 of 2021, but there were not enough candidates ready to take the exam. The next test date will likely be in October 2021 which allows me time to research/study, perform practice runs with peers, collaborate with CMC’s, etc – all in preparation for the exam.

    You, the member, will see these global dishes on upcoming menus that I will be perfecting, new wine dinners with a focus on CMC components, and overall a different approach to 2021 (the first four-day test) and then 2022 (the second four-day test).

    Let the journey begin…

    Tips and Techniquesfrom Pastry Chef Jim Guzzaldo

    Baking Technique #5- WhippingAcross the pastry spectrum, the incorporation of air into baked goods is a large part of the “magic” that happens in the bake shop. From yeast leavening, to the thousands of butter layers that lift puff pastry, to the baking powder in a cake, the aeration of breads and pastries is fundamental to their production.

    One specific means of incorporating air that I will focus on here is whipping. I touched on this in my previous column outlining creaming of butter but will expand on the theme. Eggs (especially whites) and cream are the products most often whipped, producing such familiar items as meringue, mousse, sponge cake, and “whipped cream” (technically “Crème Chantilly”).

    The MethodWhile the endgame is similar, the techniques for whipping egg whites vs. cream are opposed. With egg whites, the protein (albumen) in the egg is what traps air within the foam. Sugar added about half-way through stabilizes the meringue as it is whipped. Egg whites can grow to up to seven times their volume when whipped but will not achieve full volume if contaminated with any type of fat or grease, including yolk remnant. Egg foams whip best at slightly warmer than room temperature.

    Conversely, cream must be kept cold and whipped with cold equipment because it is the fat in cream that traps air, thus creating the foam. Fat is most stable at colder temperatures and will soften and melt as the temperature increases. If making Crème Chantilly, combine cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and whip to desired stiffness. Take care to avoid over-whipping, which will create a grainy-textured, separated product.

    Presidents Cup WindupOn December 4-5, ninety-six players enjoyed two days of clear and dry weather to participate in honoring our outgoing and past presidents of Hammock Dunes Club. Thank you to all those who participated recognizing the current and past contribution of those who served the Club.

    In addition to good weather, special thanks and recognition should go to the Food and Beverage Team, the Golf Staff and the Grounds Crew for their efforts in making the two days a success. The course conditions, considering the rain we have had, were perfect for play. The organization and operations of the play by the Pro Staff went smoothly and timely, tee gifts were selected and delivered, and the food and beverage service provided breakfast and lunch choices for all players.

    Of the 96 players, 25 different players walked away with prizes or winnings for their skill or play over the two days.

    Overall Winners were Chris Fleissner/Oscar Tumacder; Dave Taylor/Daniel Ames; Greg Rose/Tim Lassiter; Tim McClean/Dennis Vohs; Mike Gallagher/Al Gonzalez; Blake Marshall/Steve Parks.

    Flight Winners were John Heise/Bill Desimini; Ray Zukowski/Mike Skeens; Frank Penski/Alan Higgins; Bob Lynch/Heinz Kopf; Ramesh Reddy/Mukesh Shah; Paul Steggerda/Merrill Westfall.

    Special thanks should also go to Bob Bagdon and Jim Griffin, Co-chairmen of the tournament and our Tournament Sponsor Molly Carey. Molly has been a multi-year sponsor of this event. If you get a chance, please thank her for her support.

    Happy New Year!

    Your HDLGA Leaders wish you all the very best in 2021! While last year was more than challenging in a myriad of ways, 2021 starts off with a bang! Upcoming there's the Memorial Charity Benefit Golf Tournament on January 13th and the Mid-Year Meeting on Wednesday, January 20th. Please call the Golf Shop to sign-up for these fun-filled events.

    Speaking of Golf Shop, if you're looking for a tee time that's not seemingly available on the Club website or APP, call our friendly Golf Staff. Perhaps they can assist and offer a time that's not showing as "available" or suggest joining another member's tee time. The goal here is to play when you want to, and that said, that's certainly the goal of our friendly staff!

    As we look back at the past year, here are some of the happy HDLGA faces that made our golfing season fun!

    Know Your Golf Ball“The ball is the most important piece of equipment in the golfer’s bag,” says Michael Mahoney, vice president of marketing at Titleist. “It’s the only piece of equipment that golfers use on every single shot.”

    A golf ball weighs 1.6 ounces, has 5 layers and dimples, collectively these components affect the outcome of every shot.

    Additionally, you should take the compression of the ball into account. Soft balls have less compression and tend to go farther off the tee, but you may be giving up performance on the fairway. Typically, a player with a fast swing, say 95mph plus would not use a soft ball.

    The best way to decided what kind of ball is best for you, is to see how you do with your irons. How does it feel when you hit for fairway shots and how does it perform on and around the green?

    Here are some golf ball recommendations from Golfsidekick.com, based on what you are looking for to improve your game. In the end it all comes down to your personal preference.

    For distanceTitleist Velocity (perfect compression for 80 to 95 mph swings)Srixon Soft feel (wallet friendly top value)Volvik Crystal (for slower swing speeds and bad eyes)

    For directionCallaway Superhot 55 (best to improve low ball flight)Bridgestone E6 (best to reduce slices and hooks)Volvik Vivid (brightest golf ball almost impossible to lose)

    “Optimism.” That is what we have for 2021. It would be hard to believe that there would be more challenges in 2021 than there have been in 2020.

    We are very optimistic that Golf will continue in a great new upward trend. More people are being introduced to this great game than ever before and many are being brought back to the game. If you are not involved, we hope that you will take the opportunity to jump on board.

We are optimistic that the club manufacturers will be better able in 2021 to offer demo days. We are optimistic that clothing companies will come out with some great new lines and be better able to meet delivery schedules than they were in 2020. If you have anything that you would like us to look for, please let us know.

    This is a very simple and easy cardiovascular plan that will help you get started. The best thing about this cardio plan is you control the level and pace for your workout. The goal behind this workout is to challenge yourself and improve your heart rate without allowing your cardiovascular system to “Plateau”. Most people who do cardio will normally use the same machines at the same pace, speed and time limit. This way your body begins to memorize the routine and how hard it needs to work, this is what we call “Plateau”.

    This is where Walter's Interval Cardiovascular Plan comes into effect. Just by following the plan, you can adjust the time, speed and incline to whatever you choose that fits your exercise level. The key point is making a change in your workout every (2) minutes or it can be every (1) minute, to challenge your body for that length of time. Also, instead of 15 minutes of the workout you can adjust the workout to (5,7,10) minutes, whatever fits your exercise level. Remember the purpose of interval training is to prevent your body from plateauing and to help improve your cardiovascular system.

    If you have any questions about the plan, please email me: [email protected].

    Cardiovascular Training Workout - (1 - 2 times per week)You may choose any order of the machines. Each workout is 15-minute interval training for a total of 45 minutes of cardio.

    Elliptical – Start at level (1) for the first 5 minutes, at the 5-minute mark, advance to level (5) for 2 minutes then increase (1) level every 2 minutes up to 15 minutes. As you increase, your level and MPH must match.Example: At 5 minutes – level (5), MPH – 5.0 (or more) 7 minutes – level (6), MPH – 6.0 9 minutes – level (7), MPH – 7.0 11 minutes – level (8), MPH – 8.0 13 minutes – level (9), MPH – 9.0 (ending at 15 minutes)

    Cycling From 1 – 5 minutes, level (5), RPM 60 – 70 5 – 10 minutes, level (6), RPM 75– 85 10 – 15 minutes, level (7), RPM 90 – 105

    Treadmill – Starting at an incline you will have a fast walk and a slow walk, working your way down from the incline. Every 2 minutes, your speed and incline will change. (Same routine can be done WITHOUT incline). 1st minute – Incline – (7) speed 3.7 3rd minute – Incline - (6) speed 3.2 5th minute – Incline - (5) speed 3.7 7th minute - Incline - (4) speed 3.2 9th minute - Incline - (3) speed 3.7 11th minute - Incline - (2) speed 3.2 13th minute – Incline - (1) speed 3.7 15th minute - Cool down, speed 2.5 for (2) minutes

    CONGRATULATIONS!!

    In Hammock Dunes our dunes are a very important to the safety of our community. They help to prevent flooding from storm water. Sea oats are native perennial grasses found on most Florida coastal communities’ dunes. They are beautiful but also vital to the coastal ecosystem. The large root systems of sea oats anchor the dunes so are extremely important in stabilizing beaches.

    Sea Oats have long, very narrow leaves and 6-8 foot stems bearing the seed heads (panicles) or “oats.” These plants spread by underground rhizomes and have root systems up to 40 feet deep. They are drought and salt tolerant withstanding brief flooding by salt water in storm surges. Blowing sand is a Sea Oat friend. As sand accumulates at the base of the plants, they are stimulated to grow above the pile. More sand piles up, the plants continue to grow, and eventually dunes are formed. The plants also serve the ecosystem by providing food for beach mice, rabbits and birds.

    These essential plants are protected in Florida and it is illegal to cut, harvest or remove sea oats.

    This year at the conclusion of the Gold Game's 8th Annual Ryder Cup, now known as the Hayes Cup, the 16 participants chose to make a very generous contribution to my family to be used for a local cause important to Rick and me.

    One of the most meaningful things that Rick and I ever participated in was the Club Annual Holiday party for the employees where the Board and Club Management work the event, serve the employees, and present them all with presents. Unfortunately, the event cannot be held in person this year due to COVID but the Club will still present each employee with a gift. I have chosen to supplement this with a special gift for 10 lucky employees who will receive an additional $100 from the Hayes Cup this year. I cannot think of any group that Rick and I would want to honor more than the great staff and employees who take wonderful care of our great Club and all of the members. Please extend our appreciation to all of your staff and co-workers.

    So it is with great pleasure and my honor on behalf of the Hayes family to thank the 2020 Hayes Cup participants and to select 10 employee winners of this generous holiday gift.

    Happy Holidays, Gary Hayes

    A Warm Welcome is Extended to our Newest Members!

    Dear Members,

    After almost four years of service on your Board of Governors with two years as President, this will be my last message, therefore I’d like to review some of our Board’s goals and accomplishments.

    To quote Mike Tyson, the boxer, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Covid was our punch and certainly not anticipated. The pandemic affected all of us personally and operationally as a Club. Jesse Thorpe, our GM and COO, together with a dedicated staff did an incredible job of navigating us through these difficult times. Deci-sions had to be made quickly just to keep us open. Although not always popular these decisions were made with the total support of the Board, the priority being the health and safety of all Members and staff. Our Club became a main source for grocery shopping, takeout meals, home workout videos, and golf rounds hit an all-time high. As proof that our Members only drink when they are alone or with someone, off-premises wine sales skyrocketed. Let’s hope Covid will soon be a thing of the past.

    When I became President two years ago a major goal was to grow our Membership by improving the services and amenities offered for our current Members and to develop a Membership product to attract new Members. Thanks to the efforts of prior Boards and the decisions approved by our Membership the table was set for success. The Clubhouse renovations were nearing completion providing first class facilities for dining, fitness, and other inside activities. Jesse and his Management team went above and beyond to complete the package by developing the food quality, service levels, fitness programs and amenities that provide the experiences we all enjoy today.

    Where are we now? For the first time in over 12 years, we achieved a growth in Membership. In 2019 we sold 13 new Memberships. In 2020 we project 52 new sales and 15 Transfers for a total of 67 new Members joining our Club. This brings us back to our Membership levels of 2015. As a result of this success and your continued support, our Club is financially sound and poised to meet your future needs and expectations.

    The Club will face challenges and hopefully one of those will be dealing with growing pains. The new Board is strong and ready to meet whatever our future has in store.

    It has been a privilege to serve as President and to the many Members who reached out and offered your support, I thank you for making it an enjoyable experience.

    Have a Happy Holiday Season and all the best for a HEALTHY New Year.
