Board of Directors PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Barbara Willis barb willis sympatico ca It has been quite a start to the spring season Our Opening Cocktail party was an event like no other While we initially had a cool and damp spring the sun is shining again and all our golf and tennis leagues are now in full swing Our golf course and tennis courts are in exceptional condition and our fitness program has even moved outdoors with Boot Camps We are most fortunate to be in a sound financial position with a strong and vibrant Membership All in all we are more than ready to welcome the summer season As you review this edition of Club Life you will read of the many opportunities for you and your family to enjoy our wonderful Club this summer We have evolved over the years to become the family focused Club that we know today When I was a Junior Member many years ago children were not permitted to play on the golf course until they reached their teenage years Nevertheless my parents would take me along on their Sunday afternoon golf game Once we reached the third tee and were out of sight from the Pro Shop I was handed a 7 iron and a putter and I too would play My parents taught me the etiquette of golf from a young age and emphasized that I must always play quickly so as not to hold up the men That may well be the reason I still swing too quickly Earlier today I was on the driving range when forty young golfers arrived with their parents and grandparents to participate in the Junior program 3 Each had their own golf bag that was for some almost as big as they are Shortly thereafter they headed off to the first tee and short course Engaging with our children in Club life during these formative years not only builds our sense of family but also bodes well for their lifelong interest in our Club Our Membership policies have evolved as well to be more inclusive for families Adult children can return to the Club as Legacy Members Grandchildren can now become Junior Members and we recently introduced a Reverse Legacy Program that enables Members to sponsor their parents for Membership These changes have embraced the extended family as a key element to our Club Our gender policies have also evolved over the years and my becoming your new President is testament to the progress we have made in that respect By aspiring to truly become a family focused Club we now offer programs and services that enable the entire family to be engaged in Club life As you review the calendar of events over the summer months you will see that there is something for everyone at all ages and stages in our lives from Baby Boot Camp to Senior Golf Leagues and events such as our Canada Day Celebration for the entire family to enjoy together The Board of Directors recently commissioned a SUMMER 2017

I T S A G R E AT S U M M E R R E L A X A N D ENJOY YOUR CLUB Jon Nusink COO jnusink londonhuntclub com To relax by definition is to release or bring relief from the effects of tension anxiety etc You ve likely come across this saying on our website or in print the last few years What does the Club mean to you It s a personal question really and one I love to hear the answer to What I ve come to learn now through the years is that The Club is as much of an emotion as it is a destination I was recently speaking to a new Member about how he was enjoying the Club and I asked if there was anything that has surprised him so far or something he didn t expect to experience before he joined as a Member His answer was as much a feeling as anything He said I am surprised and pleased that when I turn into the driveway and pass through those gates it s like all the day s stresses begin to melt away I love to hear stories like that Every department at the Club has an ongoing mandate to increase participation That s not to say that we have a participation problem at the Club In fact for the most part our Members are very engaged in the Club s various activities But it is important to constantly strive to improve the value proposition at the Club We refuse to rest on our laurels If you follow the weekly eNews and this quarterly Club Life magazine it is chock full of various features leagues events and attractions for every aspect of the Club It is all intended to encourage everyone to get involved try something new and enjoy the Club Note that every sport at the Club has beginner options if you need a little extra encouragement just contact the Professional staff to get set up Spring is always a busy time for welcoming new Members to the Club and this year has been no exception In April the Board approved the applications for seven new families 5 SUMMER 2017

THE DRAW OF THE KI TCHEN Michael Stark Executive Chef mstark londonhuntclub com I find myself often engaged in conversation about why I choose to be a Chef You would think that there would be many reasons for choosing one profession but there was only one reason why I choose to be a Chef the action I started my career in the kitchen at the age of 15 as a dishwasher at a local resort It was a decent way to make money for a kid and I soon became very proficient at washing dishes arguably the best I continued to wash dishes and do smaller prep jobs while I went through university as a part time job After completing my university education I went back to the same resort where I started my career as a dishwasher After speaking with the Chef I was offered an apprenticeship much to the dismay of my parents The draw of the kitchen for me at that age was magnetic I needed to cook and do nothing else Luckily this profession leaves little time to do anything else It was the flames the shouting the running the large glistening knives and the sheer wall of heat that you walk into when entering a kitchen that I fell in love with I accepted the apprenticeship and worked for Chef Andrew Carter and was a signed apprentice under the tutelage of one of his Sous Chef s Peter Ford Peter would teach me everything from the basics to more advance cookery as I progressed for the next three years I also attended school for culinary arts while cooking full time One of the first lessons you learn in cooking is that days off are a luxury and a rare commodity to be treasured Peter was and is a great Chef and still one of my mentors I speak with on a regular basis about the highs and lows of the industry The one thing about this industry is that with the unavoidable long hours a Chef works your co workers quickly become your family There are times I think I may know more about my co workers lives than my own family I am not speaking ill of the industry that is just the way it is and most cooks realize this very early on in their careers If you do not have a supportive partner that enjoys having their nights all to themselves you will as a Chef Cook have problems in the future Back to the draw of the kitchen and cooking as a career As I mentioned earlier the chaos and action was the largest draw for me to work in a kitchen I will never forget watching from my post in the dish pit as the cooks raced against the clock to prepare meals getting out a carte orders the stress yelling plating as quickly as possible and of course the large bursts of flames that reflect from every stainless steel appliance and backsplash in the kitchen All of this was magical I began my career before the advent of Food TV or the booming cook book industry If I wanted to know more about cooking I would read books by Julia Child the Joy of Cooking or the coveted White Heat by Marco Pierre White which I still recommend those recipes work every time The draw for me was the culture of cooking the chaos noise and heat then the intense interest in cookery itself the allure of creating dishes and manipulating food I remember seeing a dish that was served with Pomme William as the starch which is a potato croquette seasoned with Poir Williams pear flavored liquor and shaped like a pear with a bay leaf stuck right in the top to mimic a leaf I was blown away I did not even know this was possible This was such an old school dish but that dish stuck with me It was the moment I realized that there was so much more to this than the cultural side of the industry there was the cooking This industry does not have the greatest pay The hours are long and everything you read is cooking related You basically speak another language that only other seasoned cooks can understand You never have time for friends and are often absent from family gatherings but I cannot imagine my life outside of the kitchen If you cook you do it because you love it and no other reason Many people speak of passion and they do their jobs because they are passionate Cooking for most of us is past passion It is something that does not fade away It is a true love of the profession I would like to acknowledge all the cooks that work here at the Club especially my Sous Chefs Coco and Britt thank you for the love you bring with you every day 12 SUMMER 2017

P R A C T I C E A N D P L AY THE PERFECT EQUATION Tim McKeiver Head Golf Professional tmckeiver londonhuntclub com A Member recently asked me the question why is my practice so much better than my play on the golf course An interesting question and one many golfers struggle with which got me thinking about a teaching course Wendy Shackelton and I took a few years ago from Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott Pia and Lynn run a golf school in Phoenix Arizona called Vision 54 Their goal is simple Getting golfers of all levels to reach their potential on the golf course not just during practice The best way to sum up their teaching approach is an equation P T M E S 54 the perfect round of golf 18 birdies PHYSICAL fitness posture nutrition proper rest and the correct warm up before playing TECHNICAL the swing grip stance aim ball and club fitting and the correct set configuration to get the most out of your game MENTAL focus motivation decision making goal setting strategy and most importantly self talk EMOTIONAL feelings nervous angry anxious and or over excited SOCIAL your foursome the slow group in front of you etc There is no simple answer to the question but it will be one or a combination of the equation above Here s what you can control to give yourself the best possible chance to play to your potential Your temper equipment warm up pre shot routine aim attitude club selection strategy decision and commitment diet posture and your own speed of play Unfortunately there are some things you can t control The weather your foursome other s speed of play pin placements and or course conditions It s been my experience that most golfers are looking for a technical breakthrough to change their game The truth is we should all work on the PHYSICAL TECHNICAL MENTAL EMOTIONAL and SOCIAL aspects of our games in order to reach our full potential Pia and Lynn have authored a number of books that I would recommend including the following Every Shot Must Have a Purpose 2005 The Game Before the Game The Perfect 30 Minute Practice 2007 Play Your Best Golf Now 2011 Be a Player A Breakthrough Approach to Play Better on the Golf Course 2017 See you on the course 13 SUMMER 2017

GROUNDS REPORT Jayson Griffiths Golf Course Superintendent jgriffiths londonhuntclub com As I write this newsletter I reflect on the spring of 2016 to correlate the similarities in behaviour of our current plants relative to existing and past environmental conditions and what they will do next relative to expected environmental changes Nature s clock and the science and study of plant biological processes is directly influenced by three main factors sunlight temperature and precipitation Timing is everything and ecosystem health is dependant on nature taking the right steps at the right time The great golf architect Dr Alister MacKenzie once said One cannot emphasize too frequently the importance of leaving God s gifts alone and never acting unless it is certain that time and nature will fail to cure All things considered we have now accumulated heat units comparative to last spring and anticipate the 100 days of summer to soon be upon us The golf calendar is full of league play competitions and Member Guest events It is now more than ever we at Grounds acknowledge and ask for your continued daily course stewardship Particularly a reminder to all golfers about appropriate course etiquette with respect to ball marks bunker raking divot repair and cart traffic USGA Rule 16 1 C Repair of Hole Plugs Ball Marks and Other Damage The player may repair an old hole plug or damage to the putting green caused by the impact of a ball Repairing Ball Marks Always start at the back of the mark and push forward with the repairer Use repairer around all sides and slowly ease the turf towards the centre of the mark Do not lift the soil upwards Lightly tap down with putter As a courtesy a ball mark repair tool and course stewardship card has been produced by LHCC Grounds and will be made available at the Starters Booth Bunker Raking Bunker raking is a rather recent phenomenon As rules developed and stroke play became popular hazards became increasingly maintained Historical architect C B MacDonald was quoted to say If I had my way there would be a troupe of cavalry horses running through every trap and bunker on the course before a tournament started where only a Niblick could get the ball out and then but only after a few years I have seen several traps and bunkers that have afforded better lies and easier strokes than the fairway This of course is ridiculous We have come a long way since the earliest days of sheep manicured depressions where golfers received random lies Those days have passed and while there are present day courses that provide minimum maintenance to their hazards the London Hunt and Country Club is not one of these Bunkers are classified as hazards and golfers cannot test the condition of the sand before hitting a shot This means if a golfer enters a bunker to find hundreds of footprints they can t do anything about them until they play their shot After the shot has been played the golfer should use the rake provided and leave a good surface for fellow Members Divot Repair Golfers often ask if they should replace their divots The best option is to fill the divot with the sand material provided in the plastic divot bottles Typically this is a sand seed mixture dependant on time of season Replacing the divot is the second best option providing the divot has enough soil and structure to sustain the plant Most importantly filling the divot is a courteousy to your fellow golfer who may need to play a shot from this repaired area Motorized Carts Significant damage can be caused by motorized golf carts especially during times of excess rainfall or extended drought One of the most common areas of improper cart use is driving too close to steep banks teeing grounds and golf course greens These areas tend to receive much wear and tear and therefore unnecessary traffic can affect playing quality During times of drought the preferred line of travel is down the centre of fairways as irrigation can be limited in the rough In closing a thank you to all Members practicing course etiquette during these sometimes environmentally stressful months keep hydrated much like the grass plants stay cool drive down the centre of the fairways where moisture is available and compaction stress is less replace divots and repair ballmarks as a courtesy to your fellow Members Your combined efforts will only help contribute to the health and playability of the golf course over the coming weeks and months On behalf of the entire Grounds Team I wish you a tremendous summer golfing season 14 SUMMER 2017

CHEERS CANADA WITH UNIQUE AND TRADITIONAL CANADIAN COCKTAILS Chris Carnegie Food and Beverage Manager ccarnegie londonhuntclub com Oh Canada Summer is upon us and with it comes a milestone celebration for our great nation Canada turns 150 this year and what better way to celebrate than to toast the True North than with a refreshing beverage Canadians are often known for our love of beer and for us Londoners we have the bonus of having a brewery that belongs to the largest brewer in Canada right in our backyard Labatt s was founded by John Kinder Labatt in 1847 right here in London which makes the brewery older than Canada itself if you can believe it Labatt s brews approximately 10 million hectolitres annually in Canada which equates to roughly over 350 million bottles per year cementing our stereotype Canadians love beer There are however some other alternatives to our hoppy favorite The following is a short list of beverage ideas that you may know some you may not know and one that may require some bravery All in all one thing is for certain they are all distinctly Canadian CAESAR This classic spin on a Bloody Mary was first created in 1969 in Calgary Alberta at the Calgary Inn Restaurant manager Walter Chell needed a signature cocktail for the opening of the new Italian restaurant and the Caesar is what he devised RAYMOND MASSEY Named after the Toronto born actor this sophisticated cocktail is made with Canadian whiskey ginger syrup and champagne MOOSE MILK This boozy milkshake gets the nod on this list for its name Blended rum Kahlua and ice cream are the ingredients for this treat which would service well on a hot July 1st afternoon NEWFOUNDLAND SCREECH RUM Warning This is where the bravery kicks in Screech is a colloquial term that describes a cheap high alcohol spirit that is reminiscent of moonshine and Newfoundland Screech has its own tradition called a ScreechIn This ceremony involves giving visitors the chance to become honourary Newfoundlanders by eating a piece of bologna getting on their knees to kiss a frozen cod fish on the lips recite an oath and then take a shot of screech any takers Canada Day 2017 will be one for the history books and here at the London Hunt and Country Club we are looking to make it our biggest Canada Day celebration to date I look forward to seeing everyone out to have a great time as we pay birthday homage to our home and native land 15 SUMMER 2017

GETTING TO KNOW THE FACES IN THE CLUB OLIVIA BROOK BO McDOUGALL FOOD AND BEVERAGE GROUNDS TEAM Bio My name is Olivia and I have been serving at the Club since September 2016 I am currently part of the full time staff as I prepare myself for school in the fall Since the opening of the course the Club has become my home away from home which oddly enough is very comforting for me Over the past 8 months I have loved building strong friendships seeing new and familiar faces and feeling appreciated for everything that I do I am a very determined and optimistic individual who enjoys being active and making others happy As the summer begins I will be making the transition into a part time server at the Club to continue my role as a member of the Port Stanley Beach Patrol where I life guard Life guarding was my first job when I was in high school and to my surprise six years later it has developed into a job I am very passionate about I love the adrenaline rush physical challenges and barriers and being a person that others feel safe around Bio I am 3 years old and live with my dad Assistant Superintendent Brent McDougall on the Club property I ve worked on the grounds crew my entire life Some of my many duties include greeting staff every morning chasing the geese off the grass and keeping the Membership safe from intruders like squirrels and groundhogs I also like food swimming truck rides and cuddling Future Goals Like most people I find the future a very intimidating concept I would love to complete school and be able to work with children with autism spectrum disorder I would also love to join the Canadian Coast Guard and be on the Search and Rescue team I like the idea of thinking about my aspirations in life instead of thinking about future goals My aspiration in life is to be happy and I will continue to accomplish things that help me feel that way Future Goals I hope to finally catch a goose and be a golf course dog for the rest of my life Favourite Thing About The Club There are so many things that I love about the Club it is hard to choose my favourite I love that there is lots of water and open space so I can swim and run all the time Plus everyone is so friendly and always gives me lots of attention I am also excited about Bo s Eye View here at the London Hunt and Country Club It is a series of YouTube videos that will be created by me to showcase the property from my point of view via a GoPro and GoPro Fetch so stay tuned SQUIRREL Favourite thing about the Club I think my favourite thing about the Club is that I am always learning something new Whether that s learning that there is a difference between a 14 bottle of wine and a 50 bottle or learning little details about someone s life I never leave work without knowing something new and I love having those moments throughout my day Bo McDougall 17 Olivia Brook SUMMER 2017

NEVER GIVING UP AND FINDING YOUR MOTIVATION Adam Baranowski Director of Tennis abaranowski londonhuntclub com While it has been an unusual spring thus far it feels like the summer is just around the corner And although we had unpredictable weather we still had one of the busiest Aprils in Club history when it came to court occupancy What an exciting time in the world of tennis This new energy and spark has been ignited by two rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer These two masters have brought Tennis to a new level Interestingly both were absent from the tournament scene for six months before they stormed back capturing title after title It just shows you how important preparation recovery and the power of believing in yourself is In a way there are many similarities and difference between these two players The Yin Nadal a left handed gladiator from Mallorca who punishes his opponents with his heavy ground game not giving an inch making the battle so physical The Yang Federer a right handed artist from Basel who floats on the court while dissecting his opponent with Swiss point accuracy Both are pushing each other constantly raising the bar I remember that match like it was yesterday I won the first set quite easily and I was up in the second 3 0 At that moment I started to think I could actually win the match and be in the final when out of nowhere I changed my game An hour later I was in the locker room wondering how I just lost that match It was very disappointing to be so close and yet so far away Years later I had a chance to play him again in the semifinals of a Men s Open event in Ottawa After being on court for over an hour again I won the first set and I was up in the second to go to the final As we were about to sit down on the change over Michael came up to me and said it looks like Canadian Nationals don t choke again For a second I thought I was hearing things until I realized what he had said He woke a sleeping giant I won that match and every single one that I ve played against him after that Everybody needs some sort of motivation a reason to do something in order to achieve his her goals That moment was mine Find out what yours is and go after it no matter how bleak or unattainable it may look You are the artist of your canvas design it as you see fit We can learn so much from these two players 1 Watch the ball unto your racquet 2 Get into the feeling as opposed to just watching and observing 3 Winning and losing is not everything it s a part of the whole You have to embrace both because that is part of the game 4 No matter how difficult it is to do you must remind yourself to never give up I have been working on this last concept for as long as I can remember At eleven years young I played my first Under 12 Tournament here in London at what used to be an All Canadian Tennis Academy I lost my match in straight sets and I could not sleep because I would wake up crying and feeling how much it hurt to lose Years went by before I played the same player Michael Ionseco in the semifinals of the Canadian Nationals Under 18 20 SUMMER 2017

THE TRUTH BEHIND FITNESS MYTHS Tracey Machesney Fitness Professional tmachesney londonhuntclub com It s always a wonderful feeling when the daylight starts to last longer the breeze becomes warmer and the sunshine is more frequent This means golf and tennis leagues are in full force and the environment at the Club is uplifting and vibrant It also brings greater motivation for people to get back on track with their fitness routines which may be caused by the thought of looking and feeling better for all the upcoming outdoor summer festivities Whatever the reason I thought this would be a good time to make sure new routines were started without bad habits or false beliefs Here are some of the most common myths about fitness debunked Myth 1 You can get rid of belly fat by just doing abdominal exercises Abdominal fat increases the risk of type 2 diabetes heart disease and even certain cancers So as wonderful as it would be if all we had to do was 100 crunches every day to lose our belly fat unfortunately this is false Contrary to popular belief training a muscle group will not burn fat locally Muscles are underneath a layer of subcutaneous fat In order to see those strong abdominal muscles we must first get rid of the layer or layers of fat on top The best way to accomplish this is through a combination of cardiovascular training strength training and proper nutrition which is approximately 70 of the reason we can gain or lose body fat Myth 2 It s best to static stretch before exercise There are still many people and coaches using this approach however studies have shown that this style of warm up is not effective Studies found that static stretching before exercise lengthens and weakens the individual muscle fibers making them less equipped to deal with the stress of exercise which can cause an individual to be more susceptible to injury Dynamic warmups such as arm swings high knees hamstring curls skipping and straight leg kicks will improve your range of motion and promote muscular control while warming the muscles up for action This gives you the best chance to move efficiently and avoid injury That being said static stretching after exercise 21 may decrease your post exercise soreness and help to return the muscles to their resting length Myth 3 I can lose weight without modifying my diet as long as I m exercising On average it takes approximately 10 miles of running to burn 1000 calories However it can take less than 10 minutes to consume that amount To put it in perspective an 8oz filet mignon can contain a whopping 823 calories and 1 cup of mash potatoes can contain 215 calories This is already over the 1000 calorie mark and it doesn t even include the glass of wine slice of bread or starter salad Exercise does help to burn off calories but the overall caloric balance is the key Don t be discouraged though studies show that exercise is the best way to prevent weight gain lower the risk of diabetes and decrease your risk of heart disease by lowering your blood pressure increasing your healthy HDL cholesterol levels and decreasing your triglycerides Myth 4 I don t have to do lower body strength training exercises because I do aerobic exercise Let s first define the difference between aerobic exercise and strength training Aerobic exercise is when one performs prolonged large muscle dynamic exercise at moderate to high intensities Examples would be cycling jogging dancing and elliptical machine use Although this type of exercise is excellent for improving cardiovascular fitness and preventing chronic disease it is not enough to prevent muscle and bone loss Strength training preserves and builds muscle and makes daily activities easier It also helps prevent injury improve body composition and supports bone health A balanced combination of the two is best for both strengthening your muscles and increasing your cardiovascular fitness Be sure to view the calendar in this magazine for great summer classes and activities If you have any questions regarding your fitness program or if you are looking to start a new program for the summer and need assistance please don t hesitate to contact me Have a healthy and active summer SUMMER 2017
