THEJACKET Brandie Cooper Communications Manager bcooper londonhuntclub com In a small line in the Men s Lounge at the Club Opening Cocktail Reception on April 16 2016 two Members who had never met engaged in conversation over the jacket one was wearing Two years later the man wearing the jacket sat in my office recounting the story Canada had an estimated 658 400 veterans and 28 944 Regular Force and Primary Reserves as of 2017 Every one of them has a story Every story a relationship between people and circumstance It was during this visit I realized that some stories are told with ease and some with emotion and difficulty Don Benson was the man in the Men s Lounge on April 16 2016 The jacket he wore that day was a classic single breasted one adorned with a gold falcon which the other Member recognized as the 48th Highlanders of Canada crest A recognition that brought tears to the former Reserve Unit Lieutenant s eyes The 48th Highlanders of Canada are a reserve infantry regiment unit that was founded in 1891 and has been serving Canadians supporting operations outside Canada and mobilizing for service in times of war ever since The unidentified Member in the Men s Lounge that Saturday in April shared that he grew up hearing tales from his family from Apeldoorn Netherlands of the First Canadian Army In the final months of the Second World War Canadian forces were given the critical task of liberating the Netherlands from Nazi occupation From September 1944 to April 1945 the First Canadian Army fought German forces on the Scheldt estuary which opened the port of Antwerp for Allied use and then secured the northern and western Netherlands allowing food and other relief to reach millions of desperate people This was the legacy that Canadian soldiers created and left in Holland in 1945 a legacy that is still celebrated today It is the legacy that attracted the next generation of soldiers when they reached age despite the still visible toll of war It is the legacy that formed a momentary connection between two Members and it is the legacy that left one Member thankful and another overcome with emotion This Remembrance Day I encourage you to remember both those that fought for our country and those that were willing to in times of peace and in times of conflict Each is a selfless story to be shared whether it be with ease or with emotion and difficulty Lest we forget 9 FALL 2018

FERMENTEDFOOD Michael Stark Executive Chef mstark londonhuntclub com Fermentation has long been a preservation technique Fermentation alters the taste and textures of foods more so than any other technique of preservation All fermented foods share one unique quality a characteristic sour taste The sour taste that foods take on from fermentation comes from the microbial life that causes the fermentation Fermentation is a preservation process that uses live microbes to preserve foods The process can be simplified desirable microbes out compete nondesirable microbes By out competing non desirable microbes microbes that are responsible for spoilage the good microbes the ones that cause fermentation create an environment that protects the food and preserves it scoby is to purchase raw kombucha from the grocery store the more sediment in the bottom the better The sediment is small pieces of scoby from the original mother culture For the culture you will need a clean sterile jar with a lid and cheese cloth Boil four cups of water with four tea bags and a cup of sugar allow this mixture to cool Place the cooled mixture into the sterile jar and add in the raw kombucha and place the lid over it the lid must have holes and the holes covered with the cheese cloth The fermentation process will create pressure thus you need the hole to allow the pressure to escape The scoby will form on top of the tea and look a pale flesh colour It should be uniform in colour and texture If there are any parts that are discolored or visible mold you must discard and start again The smell should be similar to vinegar and not musty what so ever After about two weeks you should have a formed scoby ready for use I have included the recipe for kombucha for you to try The finished product could be a pickle sauerkraut or kombucha The amazing thing about fermentation or simple pickling is that the product and microbes that protect it are also very healthy and beneficial for gut health There are two reasons that fermented foods are good for gut health The first is that some of the microbes found in the ferment are the same that are found in the flora of the human gut The second is that fermentation is one of the oldest ways that microbes eat through the breakdown of foods Equipment Stock pot 1 gallon glass jar or two 2 quart glass jars Tightly woven cloth like clean napkins or tea towels coffee filters or paper towels Bottles Six 16 oz glass bottles with plastic lids swing top bottles or clean soda bottles Small funnel The latest fermented food craze is kombucha a fermented tea based drink that has many health benefits Kombucha is made by fermentation and the vehicle for the fermentation is a kombucha mushroom or a scoby The scoby that is used in making kombucha is a specific organism that feeds off the sugar used in the fermentation of kombucha and can live in the tannin rich environment of the tea It is easy to create your own scoby at home and brew your own kombucha The best way to create a 11 Ingredients 3 1 2 quarts water 1 cup sugar regular granulated sugar works best 8 bags black tea or green tea or 2 tbsp loose tea 2 cups starter tea from last batch of kombucha or store bought kombucha unpasteurized neutralflavored 1 scoby per fermentation jar 1 to 2 cups chopped fruit 2 to 3 cups fruit juice 1 to 2 tbsp flavored tea like hibiscus or Earl Grey 1 4 cup honey 2 to 4 tbsp fresh herbs or spices FALL 2018

Instructions 1 Note Avoid prolonged contact between the kombucha and metal both during and after brewing This can affect the flavor of your kombucha and weaken the scoby over time 2 Make the tea base Bring the water to a boil Remove from heat and stir in the sugar to dissolve Drop in the tea and allow it to steep until the water has cooled Depending on the size of your pot this will take a few hours You can speed up the cooling process by placing the pot in an ice bath 3 Add the starter tea Once the tea is cool remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea Stir in the starter tea The starter tea makes the liquid acidic which prevents unfriendly bacteria from taking up residence in the first few days of fermentation 4 Transfer to jars and add the scoby Pour the mixture into a 1 gallon glass jar or divide between two 2 quart jars in which case you ll need 2 scobys and gently slide the scoby into the jar with clean hands Cover the mouth of the jar with a few layers tightly woven cloth coffee filters or paper towels secured with a rubber band If you develop problems with gnats or fruit flies use a tightly woven cloth or paper towels which will do a better job keeping the insects out of your brew 5 Ferment for 7 to 10 days Keep the jar at room temperature out of direct sunlight and where it won t get jostled Ferment for 7 to 10 days checking the kombucha and the scoby periodically 12 FALL 2018

WHISKEYWHISKY Chris Carnegie Food and Beverage Manager ccarnegie londonhuntclub com When it comes to making the best whiskey in the world there are two countries that lead the heavy weight battle of best whiskey and that is Scotland and Ireland Sorry Canada and US but we are going to keep rye and bourbon on the sidelines and give way to the forefathers of whiskey Scotch and Irish whiskey have many similarities but enough differences to keep it interesting First thing to address is the spelling Scotch whisky is always spelled without the e while Irish whiskey is always spelled with the e Whisky is the anglicised form of the Gaelic word Uisge Beatha pronounced ooshkie bah which also translates to water of life Seeing as how Gaelic is native to both Scotland and Ireland the debate continues as to why the Irish chose to add the e Keeping on the topic of differences the distillation and malting are where these two take different paths Scotch whisky has the strictest of rules when it comes to distilling especially in accordance of single malt scotch Scotch must be made from malted barley with many scotches using nothing more than barley water and yeast While including whole grains of other cereals and caramel colouring is permitted no fermentation additives or short cuts are allowed Scotch must also be aged in oak casks for no less than three years and must have an Alcohol Before Volume or ABV of less than 94 8 Scotch is predominantly distilled twice with only Aucentoshen Scotch which we have here at the Club triple distilling Finally you obviously cannot call your drink scotch unless it was made 100 in Scotland Irish whiskey on the other hand is any whiskey aged in the Republic of Ireland or in Northern Ireland Like scotch it must be distilled to an ABV of less than 94 8 Whiskey from Ireland is predominantly triple distilled which attributes it s renowned smoother lighter flavour It must be made from yeast fermented grain mash in such a way that the distillate has an aroma and flavour derived from the materials used and must also be aged at least three years in wooden casks Irish whiskey is free to use any cereal grains and like scotch if you mix two or more distillates it must be labelled as Blended I must admit it took me many revisits to acquire a taste for scotch and Irish whiskey as one trying it for the first time can be turned away by its complex flavours Having Scottish blood in me I knew going back to the well enough times I could get to the point of enjoying a good whisky I am glad I did as it has unlocked a whole new world of flavours to experience Currently we boast a selection of 22 different scotch s with my personal favorite being the Balvenie Double Wood 12 year We also have 3 Irish whiskey s with my favorite from them being the West Cork 10 year If you are not a whisky whiskey drinker I encourage you to come to the Club and step out of your comfort zone to explore Scotland and Ireland s liquid gold 14 FALL 2018

CHANGINGLANDSCAPE Brad Adams Clubhouse Manager badams londonhuntclub com The club industry has been under siege by analysts and spectators for decades People continue to be naysayers and undermine clubs and their worthiness across North America Constant condemnations involve the inflated amount of golf course inventory not enough disposable time and or income millennials and their uninterest in golf clubs are not family friendly etc There are a multitude of anecdotes that may or may not hold weight and dependant on the individual may ring true The fact is many people overlook the vast usefulness of private club life For us here at the Hunt Club the amenities are boundless The daily enjoyment of golfing at a top 25 course in Canada First class tennis facilities fitness trap and skeet Dining spaces steeped with tradition and heritage service standards that are Mount Everest height a culinary approach that is seldom found and beverage offerings equal to the best in the city Tie all this with our views and a landscape that most would revere to be amongst for a day Dare I not pay homage to the countless first class events that take place at the Club How could I be so brash All of which on a very affordable scale Private club life is your getaway your sanctuary Where else would you rather be It is your around the corner resort to be free of the daily toils and pressures of everyday life A place to come and enjoy exceptional surroundings amongst exceptional people Family friendly That s a big check mark in the yes column Club life has grown so much in the past 10 years making progress and appealing to people in all stages of life Where else can you go for a morning workout class have delicious homemade breakfast play 9 holes eat lunch play a tennis match and then go for a steam room session Even the nay sayers would have to say that s how I want to live life Where else would you want to spend your time Where else would you want to invest your money Where else does life make you happiest This is your home This is your year round destination And it s only getting better The fall months mark a time to enjoy many first class events here at the Club Make sure you and your family are taking full advantage of these occasions by signing up early and often for Thanksgiving Brunch Kids Halloween Speaker Series Chef s Menu Reveals and more One new and innovative event coming down the pipeline at the end of October is our Food Family Forest event where our culinary team will be showing their prowess outdoors with five live fire earth cooking stations A Club first and one not to be missed All the more reason PrivateClubLife has unmatched benefits 16 FALL 2018

The 10 tips maximizing my volunteer experience 1 Remember who you serve Volunteering isn t a free vacation a week away from the kids Its not a chance to prove you re position rather be humble you re working a tournament to assist the host superintendent and crew and that responsibility must guide your every decision 2 Watch some golf Your volunteer pass gets you inside the ropes Between shifts pick a group and observe how players manage the course 3 Avoid cliques Tournaments represent opportunities to expand your professional network Introduce yourself to as many volunteers and grounds team members as possible Ask questions and always lend a helping hand 4 Take care of yourself Rising early before 4 00 a m and working through 9 00 p m isn t easy Stay hydrated return to your volunteer room following evening shifts and prepare for the next morning 5 Get to know the crew Working alongside people responsible for maintaining a high level golf course is a privilege Introduce yourself to them and ask about maintenance practices and work environment challenges 6 See more Gaps exist between tournament shifts Tour other local facilities I did The Country Club across the street was kind enough to spend a few hours touring his facility undergoing course restorations 7 Photos and Posts During the event try and take as many key photos as possible Golf course maintenance practices that are not common can provide an advantage a photo is better than a short memory 8 Demonstrate gratitude Like making a sports team you were picked to help a special team perform before a global audience Not everyone gets selected to volunteer We were fortunate to have all lodging and dining expenses provided as gratitude for our service Verbally reiterate to the host and sponsors your appreciation for the opportunity to serve Send a hand written note after the event 9 Go back Positive experiences are almost always better the second time Why Familiarity leads to focus Much like playing a golf course for the second time you will notice details you missed the first time and strengthen your bonds Looking back at the 2018 golf season I am truly thankful for the opportunities provided It is in these moments of unknowing and challenge where growth begins On behalf of the entire Grounds Team I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for the resources and support provided to make each year a success We are truly thankful to Membership In the spirit of Thanksgiving we wish everyone a tremendous fall golfing season 18 FALL 2018

GOLF COURSEMASTER PLAN Doug MacKenzie Chair GCSC Committee dougmackenzie18 gmail com As part of its mandate the Golf Course Standards and Conditioning Committee is charged with ensuring the development of the golf course master plan for its inclusion in the Club s overall long range plan That plan will be consistent with Club s Mission Statement that The London Hunt and Country Club is a family focused Club providing its Members with an internationally recognized golf course As most Members are aware the Club has engaged Hurdzan Golf to collaborate with Management and the Committee to develop the long range Master Plan Mr Hurdzan is an internationally recognized and highly recommended architect who has worked on courses all over North America including the design of Erin Hills host of the 2017 US Open The Master Plan s mandate will not include major course re designs but rather provide a clear direction timeline and budget for the potential enhancement and ongoing updating of the existing course In other words a road map for the next several years Much work has been done since last fall and over the past several weeks meetings were held with the USGA Greens Section and communicated to the architects Michael and Chris Hurdzan have been on site for two multi day visits The course tree inventory plan and costing has begun to be developed Irrigation specialists have been engaged and options will shortly be developed along with costs The Hurdzan s have developed their recommendations for the bunkers tees greens and course enhancements and their draft along with cost estimates will be presented to the committee and Board in the next month There have been lots of questions and speculation about what will be done on the course and for what level of player the costs and timelines I can assure my fellow Members that the entire process is a very lengthy one and all of these questions will be answered in due time in proper order and will be fully communicated to the Members for information purposes and to receive additional feedback from the Membership at large The following is an excerpt from the most recent Hurdzan draft about their philosophy that I felt was appropriate to share The famous football coach Lou Holtz once observed that all things in life are either in a state of growth or decline Fortunately the leadership of the London Hunt and Country Club which extends to the boots on the ground courtesy a fully engaged superintendent has elected to grow and as testament to that attitude has supplied the tangible support necessary to sustain an improvement process both on and off course To that end Hurdzan has been tasked to assist the Club in the formulation of a long range improvement study or in other words provide a directional road map to navigate more significant improvements to golf course features and infrastructure The modern golfer is becoming increasingly more sophisticated well traveled better informed and has higher expectations for the golf experience They want firm fast playing conditions uniformity in turf and sand surfaces beautiful vistas environmental responsibility a crisp pace of play and challenging but enjoyable recreation The golf course is evolving too through changes in turf populations tree growth and management maintenance equipment and methods and influences of aging infrastructure like drainage irrigation and mechanical systems like pumps and controls The long range plan is meant to bring the golf course back in sync with those evolving golfer expectations Stabilizing maintenance costs is also a product of long range planning To improve playability challenge and enjoyment for all golfer demographics means evaluating every golf feature tee green fairway hazards and how it is functionally contributing or detracting from the golf experience Once all components have been coordinated and presented to the Board a final first draft will be approved by the Board It would be the intention to host a town hall meeting in the late fall where Dr Hurdzan will present the Master Plan to the Membership 19 FALL 2018

SIMPLIFYINGRULES Tim McKeiver Head Golf Professional tmckeiver londonhuntclub com The process to modernize the Rules of Golf began in 2012 The revisions were to be assessed with all golfers in mind so that the rules would be easier to understand and apply not only to professionals and elite amateur s but also for beginners high handicappers and typical club and recreational golfers at all levels of play around the world As of January 1st 2019 those changes will come into effect Here are some rules that I believe will effect daily play here at the Club Situation Player accidentally moves his or her ball during search Current Rule 1 stroke penalty New Rule No penalty Situation Player accidentally moves his or her ball or ball marker on the putting green Current Rule 1 stroke penalty with exceptions New Rule No penalty Situation Players ball in motion accidentally hits the player his or her caddie the person attending the flagstick or the attended or removed flagstick Current Rule 1 stroke penalty except it is a 2 stroke penalty when the accidental deflection relates to the flagstick or the attendant New Rule No penalty Situation How to drop a ball Current Rule Stand erect hold the ball at shoulder height and arm s length New Rule The only requirement is for the player to hold the ball above the ground without it touching any growing thing or other natural or artificial object and let it go so that it falls through the air before coming to rest To avoid any doubt it is recommended that the ball be dropped from at least one inch above the ground or any growing thing or object Situation Time allowed for a ball search Current Rule A ball is lost if not found in five minutes New Rule A ball is lost if not found in three minutes Situation Unplayable ball relief options Current Rule No relief outside the bunker other than in playing from where the player s last stroke was made New Rule A player may take relief outside the bunker back on a line from the hole through where ball was at rest for 2 penalty strokes 20 Situation Taking relief for a ball embedded in its own pitch mark Current Rule Relief is allowed only in areas cut to fairway height or less unless a Local Rule has been adopted allowing relief anywhere except in sand through the green New Rule A player may take relief without penalty for an embedded ball anywhere except in sand in the general area new term for through the green unless a Local Rule has been adopted restricting relief only to areas cut to fairway height or less Situation Player moves or touches a loose impediment in a bunker when the ball is in the bunker Current Rule Loss of hole 2 stroke penalty with exceptions New Rule No penalty Situation Player touches sand in a bunker with his or her hand or a club when the ball is in the bunker Current Rule Any touching of sand with hand or club results in loss of hole 2 stroke penalty with exceptions New Rule No penalty except when a player touches sand 1 with his or her hand or club to test the conditions of the bunker or 2 with the club in the area right behind or in front of the ball in making a practice swing or in making the backswing for the stroke Situation Recommendations on how to play promptly Current Rule No recommendations are given New Rule Recommends that players make each stroke in no more than 40 seconds and usually in less time Situation Use of distance measuring devices Current Rule DMD use is prohibited unless a Local Rule has been adopted allowing their use New Rule The use of DMD is allowed unless a Local Rule has been adopted prohibiting their use Hartley and Annabel son and daughter of Jeff and Becky Griffiths FALL 2018

WIMBLEDON Adam Baranowski Director of Tennis abaranowski londonhuntclub com Wimbledon is synonymous not only with tennis but with tradition The Championships Wimbledon began in 1877 and are only slightly older than our London Hunt and Country Club which traces its history back to 1885 The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club had only existed for nine years when it began hosting the Wimbledon tournament Its prestige grew with time in part because so little changed over the years The tournament begins on a Monday between June 20 and 26 and maintains an off day on the middle Sunday of the two week event One of the biggest changes took place in 1922 when Centre Court opened It survived WWII almost entirely intact and hosts matches today with no sponsor signs or advertising banners The defending gentlemen s champion plays on Centre Court the first day the defending women s champion plays there on the second day As the other Grand Slam tournaments moved away from playing on grass French Open in 1928 U S Open in 1975 and the Australian Open in 1988 Wimbledon maintained its tradition proudly Another difference is the way the All England Club seeds players It uses world rankings as a guide but includes players previous results at Wimbledon and on other grass court tournaments many of which have a similar rich tradition but are smaller and more intimate Players come to England to play a series of grass court tournaments to get ready for Wimbledon creating an excitement in smaller host communities for officials to ask him to swap them for a whiter shade of pale For many years Andre Agassi refused to play Wimbledon because of dress code requirements which clashed with the colourful image that marked the first part of his career The Royal Box on Centre Court is home to tennis stars of yesteryear along with celebrities of all kinds throughout the Wimbledon fortnight It has 74 coveted seats sometimes filled by various Royals Until 2003 players were expected to bow toward the Royal Box when walking on and off the court The Duke of Kent the nominal president of the All England Club ended the practice that year However if the Queen or Prince of Wales ever return players will be asked to bow Even at Wimbledon some traditions evolve to suit the times But the essence of the tournament has been maintained making it the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world and something tennis fans everywhere look forward to every summer Like Wimbledon the London Hunt and Country Club is one with many proud traditions including the Thanksgiving Brunch which will take place on Monday October 8 and is truly the symbolic start to fall at the Club I would like to invite and encourage Members to continue to use the tennis facilities through September and October as the colours change on the trees surrounding the Chalet and courts offering a breathtaking backdrop Besides its grass courts Wimbledon may best be known for its dress code As Roger Federer discovered in 2013 not even its greatest champions are exempt from the strict rules that require all white apparel That year his Nike shoes had orange soles and it didn t take long 21 FALL 2018

GROUPFITNESS Alicia Clow Ennis Fitness Professional fitnesspro londonhuntclub com As the golf and tennis seasons come to a close you may be wondering how you are going to keep your physical activity level up Well you are in luck here at the London Hunt and Country Club We have a great group fitness schedule with plenty of ways to exercise while having fun and getting to know new people When people think about gyms and exercise treadmills stationary bikes and dumbbells are what usually come to mind And those can be good for awhile but can also become a bit boring after an extended period of time Trying something new not only helps with breaking plateaus but also helps us with working muscles we might ignore or doing movements we never thought of Let s face it sometimes we can get in a bit of a rut when it comes to exercise which can turn into boredom which can turn into skipping workouts altogether Group fitness is a great option to get us out of those ruts Let s look at three main reasons 1 Motivation You just finished a long day at work and don t feel like doing anything except putting your feet up but you drag yourself to class You come in to friendly smiles and greetings and you become slightly reenergized Then the friendly fitness instructor warms you up and you start to feel even more energized Then that instructor starts to cheer you on and light a fire under you Everyone is looking at each other and feeling that fire together which makes you feel like you re a team working together to get the job done and when the class is over you congratulate each other on a job well done You completely forget how you felt on the drive in No one ever regrets a good workout and you drive home feeling accomplished 2 Accountability After you have succeeded in going to a class a few times you start to know the regular participants When you re not there fellow Members and the instructor notice and the next time you see them they ask where you were You don t want to let down your team and really feel like you are part of something You are also accountable to yourself Doing exercises you would never do and working harder than you would on your own Think of holding a plank or even just simple but necessary stretches that you otherwise skip when there s no one there to guide you 3 Group Comradery Nothing brings people closer together quite like intense physical labor As I said above you become a team and conquer the workout together Friendships you make through the highs and lows of exercise provide motivation in the moment but can also form the foundation of a social group These three reasons alone show why going to classes can be beneficial but studies have also shown that while all exercise releases endorphins which helps in mood and energy group fitness enhances this chemical release so that working out with others lessens the feeling of struggle you may experience if you worked out alone The sense of community is strong at the Club and group fitness is another way to experience it This fall we have added classes to meet every Members needs including 60 minute yoga classes additional evening choices and some higher intensity options so be sure to check the calendars in this issue to find the perfect class for you 23 FALL 2018
