I T H A S B E E N a time of transformation
at the Club. The pandemic has made all of
us pivot and, while the stress has touched
everyone’s lives, many are appreciating the
silver lining of quality time with family and
close friends. We have loved seeing the
camaraderie of Members and staff during
this time. Plus, the excitement of the course
restoration is invigorating! Seeing how
truckloads and piles of sand, pipe, and land-
scape materials have been molded, shaped,
and masterfully transformed into sweeping
vistas and rolling greens has been nothing
short of amazing.

Club Event ReservationPolicy
Special club events, wine dinners, seafood
nights and holiday dining are popular events
that sell out and require the purchase of
special food and beverage products, equip-
ment, entertainment, etc. Last minute
un-replaced cancellations (including changes
to the party number) are unfair to those
Members who are turned away due to full
capacity and cause the Club to incur unnec-
essary expenses if the reservation is not
replaced. As a result, the Club must exercise
a firm enforcement of the special event and
holiday dining policy.
• At the time of making your reservation
we will charge your account 100% of the
event price. Please let us know if you have
other Members dining with you.
• You may cancel 7 days prior to the event,
without being charged.
• If you cancel less than 7 days prior to the
event, you will have to pay 100% of the
event price.
N O T E : Should there be a wait list and we
are able to fill your reservation less than 6 days prior
to the event, your account will be credited in full.

Having moved from Puerto Rico 51 years ago,
Ginny’s husband emphatically declared, “we
are not signing the contract on the house until
we know we have been accepted at the Club.”
Accepted they were, in October 1968, the
same month they joined.
“It has been heaven – and it’s all because of
the Club.” Ginny remarked. “We had seven
kids and they all grew up at the Club, some
were even married there. All of my best friends
were there, we all got along so well together.”
She loved her golf group, having dinner at the
Clubhouse and of course the golf course.
Ginny still lives in the house on the course
in which she raised her family and is delighted
about the course restoration, the Enclave and
Rees 9. “Aren’t we lucky?” she commented.
“All our houses have gone up in value!”
Some of her fondest memories of the Club
surround none other than Robert Trent Jones
himself. Seeing him having lunch solo in the
English pub room, nicknamed the Plaid
Room, or having dinner with important
people and stars like Mickey Rooney.
She called him a “little softy” inside and
remarked how he would often join the
ladies golf group for lunch with “a smile that
went ear to ear. He treated you like a friend,
not a Member.” One of her prized posses-
sions is a photo of herself and Mr. Jones
presenting her with the Club Championship
award. Ginny spoke of her rival and friend,
Member Ramona Hill, “I was the 1986
Club Champion, that was the year Ramona
(who held the title for 17 years) went to
Hawaii. Thank you, Ramona for taking
that vacation!”
At the time of this article, Ginny had just
celebrated her 95th birthday. She still main-
tains a sunny disposition and cheerful attitude.
When asked about her secret to long life, she
did not skip a beat… “golf !”
Ginny Fuhr receiving the
Waterford crystal egg as
the 1986 Club Champion.
She still has the egg!
If anyone can attest to how the Coral Ridge Country Club can
become the core of family life, it would be Virginia or “Ginny” Fuhr.

A Tip from the Top: Mini Tennis, why do it?
Warming up with mini tennis is like
eating at the Outback, no rules! Every pro
has their own way of doing mini tennis. My
philosophy is to gently warm up with an
emphasis on footwork and watching the ball,
not focusing on technique. The ball should
bounce every time which encourages the feet
to move, watch the ball after it bounces until
you FEEL (not see) it hit your racket. Mini
tennis can also help a player learn to hit with
underspin, the most difficult spin to control.
When hitting drop shots, the racket starts
above the ball with a firm wrist and deceler-
ates to a stop. Once a player can do this, they
can continue the swing with a full follow
through and a high finish.
The New Normalat Tennis
W I L L H O A G | D I R E C T O R O F T E N N I S
N O T E V E N A P A N D E M I C can stop
our great sport. We made some necessary
adjustments but for the most part, tennis is
back! Cardio is offered twice a week, live ball
is offered twice a week, and both the
beginner and intermediate women’s clinics
are offered weekly. Our junior clinics are also
back with the Mighty Mites on Monday, all
the way up to our Level III on Wednesdays.
Our challenge ladders will also be activated
this fall. Tennis is back and we are happy to
have all of YOU back!

C A R D I O T E N N I S I S no longer a trend,
it is here to stay. Launched in 2005 by the
TIA (Tennis Industry Association), in
conjunction with the USTA, this unique
group fitness program gives players the
opportunity to play tennis, practice skills
and get a full-body workout.
Coral Ridge began offering Cardio Tennis
years ago and co-ed classes are now offered
twice weekly, on Tuesday evenings and
Friday mornings. Members love the workout
and the classes fill to capacity with an average
of 8 players per court. The great part
about Cardio Tennis is that skill levels are
not as important, there are intermediate and
advanced players mixing it up together.
A typical Cardio Tennis class involves a
warm-up featuring dynamic foot movement,
catching/tossing skills and light hitting,
followed by a variety of games and activities
ending with a cool down. Groups rotate
between courts, which allows everyone a
nice mixture of cardio, skill activities and
matches.
And did we mention the music? Fun and
upbeat, adding to the energy of the court.
Member Lynda Davey commented that
cardio tennis is “one of my favorite hours of
the week!”
Instructor Randy Kenyon is a huge
believer in the program. “Cardio Tennis is a
high energy, exciting, fast-paced hour of
competitive tennis play. If you enjoy tennis
and want a heart pounding workout, come
out and join in!”
For more information on Cardio Tennis,
stop by the Tennis Shop or chat with Coach
Randy, our Cardio guru!

of this award and we couldn’t be prouder.

Some events may be modified to adhere
to these guidelines. Please check with the
Golf Shop for the latest event formats.
How’s Your Grip?Too Small?
Grips are too small
when the ring and
middle finger connect
and press into the
thumb pad. This can make it difficult to
maintain stability of the clubface when
striking the ball.
Too Large?Grips are too large
when the ring finger
does not connect with
the thumb pad.
Just Right!Grips are perfect in
size when the middle
finger touches and
presses slightly into the
thumb pad.
If you are unsure about your grips, the Golf
professional staff will be glad to assist you.

T I P S F O M T H E P R O S
Tackle your TrajectoryHaving had a sneak peak at the Champ-
ionship 18 golf course, players will need to be
equipped with multiple shots around the
green. The undulation surrounding the
green will force players to hit shots with
different trajectories to get the ball close to
the hole. A simple way to control the
trajectory of a pitch shot and a lob shot is
having an awareness of the follow through.
When players need to hit a pitch shot
with some spin, they will need to keep their
hands near or under the belt line, leading to
a shorter and lower follow through. This
type of follow through will allow the ball to
come out lower with more spin to stop the
ball quicker on the green.
When players need to elevate the ball up
and over a bunker, they will need to finish
their follow through near their shoulder line,
leading to a longer and higher follow through.
Practice these follow throughs and see how
the ball differs in the air and how it reacts on
the green. – Patrick Schmitz, PGA
Get Fit If you want to play your best, schedule a
club fitting with our professional staff.
Properly fitted irons need to address the
following areas. Proper length, lie angle, grip
size, shaft flex, shaft material, weight, model
of club, etc. We use the latest in fitting tech-
nology including Track Man. This superior
system allows us to measure your club head
speed, ball speed, ball spin, carry distance, club
path, angle of attack, etc. By using this tech-
nology, we can get you dialed in with the best
equipment that fits YOU!

• Remain away from bunker edges and do
not drive between bunkers.
• Refrain from parking in front of greens.
• Please return to the cart paths at or before
the cart directional signs.
• Please keep all four tires of the cart on the
path around tees and greens.
Parking Carts Around Greens
• Blue posts have been strategically placed
on the course to notify you where to park
your golf cart.
Push/Pull Cart Rules
• Walking carts should never be rolled
onto/over any of the putting surfaces at
any time.
• Rees Jones has specifically designed walk
off areas on each green where your walking
carts should be parked. These will help
direct you to the next tee box and keep you
and your walking cart safe from some of
the steep slopes that are now present.

OUR FLYING ACEThrough the months, we have been
able to share progress photos and
videos with Members because Carolina
Boring, wife of Jay Boring, stepped up
to the challenge of flying a drone and
being everywhere at once in order to
capture a bird’s eye and golfer’s view of
the work. Thank you, Carolina!

a national pandemic, weeks of torrential
rainfall, several threats of hurricanes, and a
city sewer project, the course restoration
went ahead as planned! A portable trailer
became the office compound where Rees
Jones’ team huddled over architectural,
irrigation, drainage, and landscaping plans.
Jim Larner, project manager; Steve Crotty,
lead shaper; Steve Weisser lead architect
for Rees; Steve Botek, the engineer,
Robby Farina, the contractor and our very
own Director of Golf Courses &
Grounds, Jay Boring managed an army of
workers as they progressed through the
phases of updating the infrastructure and
restoring the course to what Robert Trent
Jones had originally designed…and better!
COURSE RESTORATION, LOOKING BACK
Digging lakes for drainage, adding 14 miles of drainage pipe… burying 23 miles of irrigation pipe... shaping and building greens…
shaping 92 bunkers, 118,149 sq ft… laying 5.4 miles of cart paths…hand/machine sprigging plus laying29 acres (1,263,240 sq ft) of sod…
and finally mowing.
Rees was right.
The gem has gotten shinier and is now sparkling with new potential!
