MAGAZINE A Publication for the members of Hunters Run Country Club
SUMMER SUNSET Editor’s Note From cover to cover, this issue highlights connections we have at Hunters Run—to the club and to each other. With the introduction of our new Facebook Page, there is a new way to interact on a regular basis. At this time of year, many members travel to various places—and our specially designed global map shows their connections in various states as well as around the world. One example is the number of families who reside in the same three-building complex in New York during the summer. And, here, we continue to find personal connections at the various venues, enjoying Karaoke nights and the special Terrace setting for dining 3500 Clubhouse Lane • Boynton Beach, FL 33436 (561) 737-2582 • www.huntersrun.net and entertainment. But the epitome of connections to Hunters Run is the dedication and commitment of our longest serving employees, some of whom have been part of our daily life for more than 15 years. Our special photo spread pays tribute and thanks to them. OFFICERS AND BOARD — S.W. MEMBERS 2019-2020 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE President Jack Gorny WE REALLY WANT TO KNOW...

THERE HERE, & EVERYWHERE
Where are you going this year? Will it be the Kentucky Bourbon Trail tour (see article on page 9). Or, some of the places and experiences you shared with us last summer: playing golf in Wales or Westchester, taking a Danube River cruise or boating on Long Island Sound. Or, just getting together with other Hunters Run members---old friends, new friends, golf buddies, tennis teammates, in all kinds of fun and memorable settings. We hope you will send photos and short descriptions to [email protected]. Have a great summer!
WHERE DO WE COME FROM?? B y Susan Braitman We are a diverse group from various parts of the world. Snowbirds think of Hunters Run as their home away from home. They hail from 19 states and the District of Columbia, as well as five foreign countries. Most come from states east of the Mississippi — others from as far away as California and Brazil. According to Dena Pedrick, our Director of Membership, over 45% of our residents only have one address, making Hunters Run their year-round home. But wherever we call home, we always look forward to meeting up again for another fun season at Hunters Run.

More than 40 members currently have apartments in The Towers, as it is called—a three-building residential cooperative which sits on 10 acres of property located on the highest point of land in Queens County. The buildings contain 1,844 apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The complex has an 18-hole golf course, its own power plant and an indoor shopping concourse that connects the three residential buildings, along with indoor and outdoor swimming pools. It is the only gated residential community in New York City. Several of the Hunters Run residents residing in The Towers have plenty to say about this unusual residence.

During the tour, you can buy Jack Daniel’s whiskey at their shop or in the distillery general store in town, a short distance down the road. But, they cannot technically sell the whiskey in either place, so there is a bit of a loophole—they will sell you a souvenir bottle… and the whiskey comes in it for free!
DAY 7 – This is when you head back towards Florida and Hunters Run. A terrific stop on the way is the Lakeridge Winery, located in Clermont, FL, producing fine Florida wines. View the production area and the spectacular view of the vineyards where the grapes are grown and harvested. The Wine Tasting is held at the large tasting counter. A selection of award-winning wines ranging from dry to sweet with sparkling are usually offered. You did it! You’ve now joined the ranks of thousands of other bourbon lovers, or those wanting to learn more about this all-American drink, who have gone before you into the brave wilderness of Kentucky and Tennessee. Congratulations!

10 JULY/AUGUST 2019 Hunters Run Country Club Fishing At Hunters Run:
That’s A Big By DeirdreOne! Kline Can you guess how many lakes there are in Hunters Run?* I suspect you will be surprised at the number. They beautify the grounds and offer the added benefit of providing the community fisher-people with a convenient opportunity to pursue their hobby. These lakes are sustained by an intricate weave of culvert pipes that originate from the canals on the north and south sides of the property. Weekly maintenance to treat for algae and invasive grasses is required to keep them looking beautiful and allowing them to serve as a breeding ground for the many varieties of fish that make their way into the ponds from the canals and through the pipes. Our fishermen strictly catch and release their trophies as the surface runoff from the roads, individual communities and the golf courses render the fish inedible. Among the fish inhabiting our waters is a species known as Peacock Bass, part of the Cichlidae Alan Terner with largemouth bass family. Because of their proclivity to eat just about anything, these fish were originally imported from South Africa in the 1980’s to eat the many fish dumped into Florida’s canal system. Since the Peacock Bass have very indiscriminating feeding habits, they are desirable to local fishermen
both because they will eat just about any bait offered and because they consume predatory fish, including piranha. 59 *ANSWER

A group of very happy Hunters Run golfers participated in the sold out event, which attracted players from all over the county. “It was a wonderful day honoring our dear friend and fearless leader---The One and Only Jeri Ewing,” says Jodi Kaplan. According to John Oyler, our Director of Golf, “Jeri is loved by everyone in our community. She won the club championship in 2000 and 2001 and has competed on a high level in many amateur events throughout her career. Jeri has been an active member of our golf committee for many years and her knowledge of Hunters Run and its history is unsurpassed.”

On Friday, May 31st, “Team Hunters Run” played a record 550 holes of golf in the heat on the East Course! Overall, the nine-player team averaged nearly 68 holes of golf per person – led by Director of Golf John Oyler with 100 holes played. Other members of the team were: Ray Nalbandian, Graham Cordrey, Todd Stanchfield, Gary Tschaepe, Mike Franke, Dave Cordrey, Jared Bear and John Freeland. The team also collected a record-setting $6,500 from generous Hunters Run members – easily topping the previous high of $5,000 set in 2017. Overall, Marathon Golf raised more than $400,000 this season – and has collected more than $1.9 million in the past nine years. On behalf of “Team Hunters Run,” thank you, Hunters Run members, for your generous donations to help children who need – and deserve – our help.

16 JULY/AUGUST 2019 Hunters Run Country Club FROM THE COURT By Dave Cordrey, Director of Tennis TENNIS
HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT SUMMER and practicing hard. Just remember, we have a reputation to keep up for next year’s league season. So, no slacking off! Summer tennis pool has started. Play is on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for both men and women at 9:00 AM. It is hot out there, so keep hydrated. If you get too hot, put one of the iced towels around your neck. Lots of work is being done on the courts. We are putting a high fence on the pickleball courts where the netting is now, which should keep the balls in and be a little safer for the players. All the tennis courts are getting resurfaced and 11 of them are getting re-lined and fence posts are getting painted. We have worked on the calendar for next year and made a few adjustments to it, so as soon as it is approved, will get all the dates out to you. Have a safe summer and stay healthy.
TENNIS When you are out playing doubles, think about ways TIP that you could stress out your opponents. Hit the ball short and make them run for it. Maybe hit it so they have to stretch for it. Most points are won within four shots, so you have to stress them out on your first shot.
Hunters Run Country Club JULY/AUGUST 2019 17 BRIDGE BRIDGE COMMITTEE By Marilyn Ross
Many of our Bridge friends have left us for the summer. We wish them an enjoyable time playing bridge with their old and new friends and look forward to their return next season. Our games are smaller now. We have stopped our Monday night duplicate game for the summer months. The games will resume in October. Thursday afternoons will continue if supported sufficiently, and Saturday afternoon duplicate games will continue throughout the year. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT WINNERS Hunters Run winners at the Regional Tournament held April 8-14 at the Marriott Hotel in Coral Springs, Fl. are: Carolyn Bzura, Leslie Davret, Susan Felsenheld, Ann Greenwald, Mari Kaftan, Ada Korson, Robert Lurie, Helen Newmark, Sheila Robinson, Joan Ross, Marilyn Ross, Ruth Sheftel, Sue Wallace, and MaBel Yunis. NEW MASTER RANKINGS Shelly Weiner, Sectional Master (50 masterpoints) Mariann Greenberg, Martin Greenberg, Junior Master (5 masterpoints) Robert Feingold, Helene Fireman, Jack Gollin, Regional Master (100 masterpoints) 70 PERCENT GAME OR BETTER Ina Spector, Phyllis Dubestky, Ruth Chester We like to list our members when they attain a new master level or when they earn a 70% game or better. Please notify me at 375-8949 when that occurs.
BIDDING BOXES LAWS We sometimes feel that new duplicate players are intimidated using Bidding Boxes. The ACBL has strict laws on their use. We thought it may be helpful to discuss these laws. The best advice is never touch the box until you have decided on your bid. If you play with the bidding card it gives unauthorized information. The director may be called by your opponent. When Is a Call Deemed to be Made? A call is deemed to be made when the bidding card is removed from the bidding box with apparent intent (it may be held face up, touching or nearly touching the table or maintained in such a position to indicate that it has been played.) Players should decide which call they are going to make before touching any bidding card. To hesitate between choices is UNAUTHORIZED INFORMATION to Partner. Correction of Call - A call may be changed without penalty ONLY if it is inadvertent, i.e., a mechanical error, not a change of mind. You can correct it if your partner has not bid even if the left-hand opponent has bid. You can say stop, wait, I made an error and call the director. The player must change or attempt to change the inadvertent call without pause for thought from the moment that he REALIZES he has made the wrong call. If LHO made a call before the change was allowed, he may withdraw that choice and replace it with another without penalty. At the end of the auction the bidding cards should remain in place until the opening lead has been made face down and all explanations have been obtained, after which they should be returned to their boxes. Lynn Berg suggests that when the auction is complete, it is a good idea for someone at the table to state the final contract, “3 in the East,” for example. See Ya at the Bridge Table.
