| PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Member,
T’S SUMMERTIME and we have many new events and activities to keep you busy. I hope you’ll
participate in as many as you possibly can. Summertime Tuesdays began in food and beverage last
month with our dinner buffet served in Panache. Once a month, we will open on a Tuesday evening
for dinner. More details appear on page 7. Trivia Challenge is back and Jukebox Bingo makes its
Happy Hour debut this month. Dueling Pianos, the ever popular sing-a-long with “The Piano Guys”,
returns in July. Details appear on page 17. Turn to page 18 to read about more summer activities
including an afternoon lecture, a resin art workshop and a paint your pet class. We’re bringing Club
favorite, Jenene Caramielo, back in July and a psychic medium, Jeffrey Wands, will be here in August.
New this summer in golf is our Social 9 and Dines. Details appear on page 13. As you can see,
you’re going to be busy this summer.
Plan to join us for the 151st running of The Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 8 at 5pm in Onyx Lounge. We’ll
have specially priced Mimosas, Belmont Breezes and White Carnations, the official drink of The Belmont Stakes.
Last month it was all about our “Moms”. This month we celebrate all our “Dads” at our Father’s Day Sunday
Brunch on June 16. Reservations are available by calling 483-6300. We’ll be serving many of dad’s favorites
along with a complimentary bloody mary just for him!
Plans are underway for our final two holiday celebrations, Independence Day on Wednesday, July 4 and Labor
Day on Monday, September 2. Bring your family and friends for these great summer celebrations and don’t forget
to tell the kids to stop by the card rooms to partake in all the activities.
Our behind the scenes work began last month with the staff doing our annual repair and maintenance in the different
restaurants and kitchens. We close each building for a period of time during the summer months while business is
slower so not to disrupt your daily schedule. We will continue our work in all areas of the Club to make sure we’re
in top shape for the 2019/20 activities and events.
In addition to our normal repairs and maintenance, I will also continue to update you on the summer renovations
at the Sports Center. You will begin seeing work start in the month of July with as little inconvenience as possible.
We plan to shut down the Fitness Center and Spa for most or possibly all of August as well as the month of
September. We’re currently working on an agreement with Busy Body Fitness Center for member usage while our
facility is closed during that time. Aquatics will not be affected by this work. We will keep you posted through all
of our communication avenues.
The budgeting process for the 2019/2020 season has been in full swing for several weeks. This has been a
challenging year, but I assure you that your budget committee and Department Heads have been working hard
to present the Board the best budget possible without sacrificing any services or the quality of life you’ve come
to expect.
This month we will be hosting the Seminole Region Club Managers 29th Annual Charity Gala & Golf
Tournament on June 9 and 10, 2019. The primary goal of this event is to raise the most amount of money possible
to benefit local children’s charities which includes Special Olympics of Palm Beach County, SOS Children’s
Village of Florida, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, Place of Hope at The Leighan and David
Rinker Campus, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation, 4Kids and The First Tee of the Palm Beaches.
On behalf of the club manager’s tournament committee, I would like to say THANK YOU to the board of governors
and membership for this opportunity to show off your incredible Club.
I welcome and encourage your thoughts, comments and suggestions regarding your Club and look forward
to seeing you around. Wishing all Fathers a very happy Father’s Day and a spectacular Fourth of July holiday.
Sincerely,
Matthew Linderman, CCM
President, COO & General Manager

B O C A W E S T 11ON THE
COURSES
Recently Wes put out a video on the Dryjet
system he employs on our greens. He showed
how the technique effectively cuts through
the thatch that builds up just below the surface
(over time to a depth of four inches or more)
and provides much needed nutrients to the
green. The result—better overall health and
better greens on which to putt.
Are you following Nanna Koerstz Madsen our
LPGA professional? She made the cut at this By Steve Forman
year’s first major—the ANA Inspiration Golf Committee
(formerly the Dinah Shore) and was in the last Chairman
group on Sunday, April 28 at the Hugel Air
Premia LA Open. She is definitely making progress and of
course it is great to see her on TV. By the way, rumor has it she
will be at Boca West at the end of June so if you see a young
woman crushing the ball on the driving range that would be
her. Or Pam Elders of course.
As I am writing this article I was just informed that Pam did in
fact qualify for the U.S. Senior Women’s Open at Pine Needles
Lodge and Golf Club. GO PAM!!! Of course, by the time you
read this article that event would have been held so you know
the results. I hope everyone has congratulated Pam on her
terrific accomplishment.
Speaking of tournaments, on June 11-13 Boca West will be
hosting the South Florida Region Junior PGA Tournament. It is
for both boys and girls, ages 12-18. Players are flighted in age
groups and the overall winners go to the 2019 National Junior
PGA Championship to be held at the Keney Park Golf Course
in Hartford Connecticut. Past winners of the South Florida
Region have been Brooks Koepka and Lexi Thompson. Both
have done pretty well as touring professionals. The tournament
will be held on our Fazio II course and you can go out and watch
these budding superstars. However, you will have to walk as

and with that our summer course maintenance
schedule. As I have said many times Wes Dinsmoor We continue to add golf activities for the summer. Thus far we
our Golf Superintendent and his staff do a spectacular have a summer league, three holiday tournaments (Memorial
job on our golf courses and a lot of the heavy lifting is done Day, Independence Day and Labor Day), a three-club
over the summer. Each course goes through three tournament and a Greenskeeper’s Revenge Tournament. We
maintenance cycles each summer so there is a lot of work to are now adding three Social Nines—July 11, August 9 and
be done in a short amount of time. The benefit of course is the September 7. You will play a nine-hole tournament (format for
great condition the courses are in during the rest of the year. each to be announced) and enjoy Happy Hour afterwards. Your
entry fee will include one drink per person at Happy Hour. If
you want to have dinner after Happy Hour that will be on you.
As we move into summer don’t forget to work on your games
and we have a fine cadre of professionals here who can help
you. If you are up north you are on your own but that is no
excuse. Remember all of the golf tips you got via email during
the year are still available for reference. In any event get out
there and practice.
As always I am interested in your feedback and comments. You
may email, sforman@strategicm.com or call, 488-8726. I look
forward to hearing from you.
