Board of Directors P R E S I D E N T S M E S S AG E Glenn Jones gjones millerthomson com Welcome to the Christmas edition of Club Life Magazine As I have mentioned before this publication is a continuation of our efforts to inform the Membership of activities at the Club through a variety of media in an interesting and visually appealing manner which reflects the high standards of the Club If you have suggestions for improvement or thoughts on articles or information you would like to see please pass those on to any member of Management or the Board As I write this article we are drawing to the close of one of the most successful golf and tennis seasons at the Club in many years capped off by unseasonably warm weather the first week of November which drew a record number of golfers on the course that week The golf course conditioning throughout the year has been superb thanks to the continuing hard work of Jayson Griffiths and his staff and they will now be putting the course to bed for the winter Member participation levels in golf and tennis have been exceptional thanks to the efforts of Tim McKeiver Adam Baranowski and their staff Behind all of their efforts has been the work of Members on the Golf Tennis and Golf Course Standards and Conditioning Committees whose guidance and recommendations for new events or formats and assistance with the planning and execution of events has contributed greatly to the enjoyment of all I have reported to you on the growth of our Membership in each edition of this magazine because of course 4 2015 12 01 Club Life indd 4 our continuing ability to attract new Members is fundamental to the continuing health of the Club In the summer edition of Club Life I predicted that we would have a full Membership by the end of the year I am happy to report that due to the efforts of the Membership Committee and of the many Members who have encouraged their friends or business associates to join the Club we have attained that goal as 21 new Member families will have joined the Club this year We are now at our capacity of Full Resident Members However this will be short lived and we will have our normal level of membership category movement and attrition in the New Year so we must continue our focus on Membership development This is the time of year at which Management the Finance Committee and the Board are engaged in the budget process That process is now nearing completion and we expect the 2016 Budget to be approved by the Board at its November meeting The 2016 Budget has been particularly challenging as it is the first full year of operations in our newly renovated Clubhouse and the first normal year of operations in recent years Special thanks to our Controller Monica Laprise to our General Manager Jon Nusink and to the members of the Finance and Audit Committee for their collective efforts The Club is on very firm financial footing with a strong cash position and the focus of the budget is to maintain that strong financial foundation while providing excellent services to Members winter 2015 2016 11 23 2015 8 54 36 AM 5

T H E W H AT W H Y A N D W H E N O F DECANTING WINE Michael Hearse Food and Beverage Manager mhearse londonhuntclub com As we approach the holiday season many of us will reach for that special bottle of wine from the corner of our coolers or cellars to serve to our guests as a special treat It is for that reason that I thought I would present some tangible information about decanting wine that might dispel some common myths or encourage you to enjoy its benefits What is decanting Decanting wine is essentially the process of pouring the contents from one vessel typically a bottle into another vessel typically a decanter Most often the wine is then served from the decanter but it is also quite applicable to recant the wine back into the original bottle for service If the wine is to be served from the decanter I suggest leaving the empty bottle of wine and cork beside the decanter to allow your guests to view what special wine they are drinking Why do we decant Decanting is done for more reasons other than just transferring your wine to a decorative display vessel to adorn your table Although this is a side benefit as many decanters from Reidel and other manufacturers are quite impressive the real application of decanting is twofold First slow and careful decanting allows wine particularly older wine to separate from its sediment which if left mixed in with the wine will impart a very noticeable bitter or astringent flavor You may also use a specialized filter to pass the wine through as it cascades into the decanter to ensure that one hundred percent of the sediment has been removed Second when you pour wine into a decanter the resulting agitation causes the wine to mix with oxygen enabling it to develop and come to life at an accelerated pace which can be helpful for younger full bodied wines When should you decant This is a very subjective question to which my answer is always the same whenever you like As noted in the previous paragraph decanting is not just for older wines but also for young wines that might need some aeration to develop In either case the length a wine should be left to breathe prior to consumption can vary from 30 minutes to several hours for maximum bouquet smell and flavour development With some older or fuller wines more time should be expected and may be required It should be noted that if you are selecting something with a great deal of age from your cellar in excess of 20 or 30 years it is advisable to have the bottle standing erect for 8 to 10 hours prior to opening and decanting To summarize not only are there many physical benefits to decanting a wine like improved taste and smell but also visual benefits to impress your guests So whether you are enjoying a 1985 Sassicaia this holiday season or a 2010 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon continue to treat yourself by decanting your bottle before enjoying with family and friends 10 2015 12 01 Club Life indd 10 winter 2015 2016 11 23 2015 8 54 40 AM 11

GROUNDS REPORT Jayson Griffiths Golf Course Superintendent jgriffiths londonhuntclub com The view of the last remaining leaves brings a feeling of calm peace and speaks to the end of another busy season here at the Club A season to remember not just because of the many ambitious undertakings surrounding the new Clubhouse Construction Project but for the journey growth and experiences shared and achieved along the way Moreover it is one that can be remembered for the abrupt arrival of summer like conditions right out of the gate the unfortunate loss of winter damaged turf or the never ending flow of contractor and construction traffic I for one choose to reflect and remember 2015 for the sacrifice and investment made by our Membership for the benefit of the future the tireless efforts of many and the results which were achieved In May the Grounds crew in consultation with Steve Weisser Architect Rees Jones Inc assisted in the completion of two highly anticipated projects The 1st Tee and 9th Green Projects These projects were a large undertaking that remedied key functional and architectural deficiencies With Membership support the following results were achieved site line improvements bunker and apron re alignment drainage corrections and unified rolling greenspace surrounding the Clubhouse Upon the completion of these projects the attention of the Grounds crew shifted to the continuation of our key cultural practices thereby ensuring all Members and guests experienced excellence in course conditions To this end our greens tees and aprons received regular sand topdressing thereby producing firmer healthier and ultimately more outstanding playing conditions These practices revolved around the mid July course closure when 28 acres of fairway aerification debris clean up topdressing and further seeding took place Mother Nature co operated during this intensive two day procedure and we again thank the Membership for this important scheduled event and hope for the same weather conditions next year There are many hands that contribute to the success and maintenance of a world class golf course I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes making each day on the course an enjoyable one Our Equipment Manager Mark McCallum keeps all equipment running and in top form with reels sharp My Assistants Deb Dale and Brent McDougall who deserve much credit as they not only expedite all tasks throughout the golf course but manage organize and encourage over 35 employees on a daily basis and together help make this property not just a golf course but a place that many of us call home away from home Plans for this fall and winter include the continued efforts to select and manage poorly performing sun limiting hazardous trees limbs and peripheral undergrowth An effort to clean our perimeter and lateral out of bound areas will lead to cleaner views of forest floors woodlands and river flows while allowing for easier retrieval of errant golf shots In addition our pre winter preparations are underway including the use of vertical drainage chimneys the removal of key collar dams and the monitoring of greens surfaces for snow and ice accumulation In the spirit of Christmas we will soon be covered in a fresh blanket of powdered snow The winter wonderland that presents itself is another opportunity to walk and enjoy this beautiful landscape We at Grounds will again be clearing paths throughout the golf course to not only provide functional work access but for Members to enjoy with their families We look forward to seeing you on the golf course and the exciting challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2016 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family 16 2015 12 01 Club Life indd 16 winter 2015 2016 11 23 2015 8 54 49 AM 17
