FC Life May 2020

May 2020 edition

CAROL and MORT CORWIN are very proud of their daughter-in-law, Jennifer Rosner, whose first fictional book “ The Yellow Bird Sings,” was reviewed in the New York Times, May 10, 2020. Jenifer graduated Columbia University and received her PHD. from Stanford University. She herself is the mother of two daughters. The book is about a mother and her daughter hiding during the holocaust. As the New York Times review said, “Her book proves there is always going to be room for another story about World War II.” The story is set in Poland and how she hides with her daughter after the rest of the family has been murdered. It shows how she teaches her daughter, a musical prodigy to read and hear music while in hiding and what occurs after she decides to leave their hiding

place. The review ends with, “This is an absolutely beautiful and necessary novel, full of heartbreak but also hope, about the bond between mother and daughter, and the sacrifices made for love.”

We are so grateful for our Staff

On one of my many evening walks down Frenchman’s Creek Drive, I couldn't help wondering how long this light could hang on before falling on one of our members! I quickly took this picture and sent it to Andrew Taylor in Engineering. I received an immediate response and a thank you. The very next day it was taken care of before any mishap could occur. We are so fortunate to live in this wonderful community where everything is taken care of with a smile.

Thanks, Andrew!

LEWIS FINKEL had a Hole-in-One on May 17, 2020.

It was on hole number 11 South which played ay 127 yards.

GERRY BARTFIELD had a Hole-in-One on May 20, 2020.

It was also on Number 11 of the South Course and played at 135 yards this day.

Friday, May 1st at 8:30 a.m. on a sunny morning, eight out-of-shape women slipped into our beautiful fit- ness pool for the resumption of water aerobics. Only eight were allowed so we could keep “Social Dis- tance.” Chris put us through a fast paced workout, always watching that we stayed in our assigned spots. After an hour, we were tired but happy to again participate in our favorite activity. Let’s hope soon we will all be back to normal.

AND YOU THOUGHT WE ALREADY HAD EVERYTHING

Even though life is definitely not back to normal, being able to play golf again has sure helped to raise the spirits of a lot of members. Within minutes of announcing that the courses would be opened again, the golf shop was swamped with requests for reservations. So many members were so very anxious to play again. The new rules adhere to the necessary safety measures. There may be only one person in a golf cart, unless the other person shares the same home. No rakes are in the sand traps, the flag sticks can't be handled, no hand goes into a hole, and, of course, social distancing. A very clever innovation for the holes - the Easy Lift - is a big help. A disc on the bottom of the hole is attached to a thin rod that can be raised to pop out the ball with the club head or a foot, so the reach in rule can be followed. In fact, this might be a great device to keep even after things go back to normal. There are still no caddies, or touching golf bags, but hopefully the wonderful golf staff, which has been helping out in so many other ways, will be able to soon get back to normal. Kim has again started the Ladies Day Golf games on Tuesdays, with huge signups. Instead of the normal shotgun starts, there are assigned tee times, which very smartly avoids a large group at any time. The ladies thank Kim for all her efforts.

Here we are, just starting Restorative Stretch Class, (after an extended quarantine due to Covid-19), behind the Fitness Center Pool. It was at 9 am and the morning sun, streaming through the pine needles made the trees look as though they were hung with long ropes of tinsel. So beautiful.
