Dear Fellow Members,
We hope you had a wonderful holiday season
and were able to enjoy your family and friends,
wherever your travels took you! Now that we’re all
back together in this beautiful paradise of ours, it’s
time to enjoy our golf and tennis, all the activities
available throughout the days and evenings at the
Club, and most of all, each other.
January 15th
is upon us and it’s been five years
since we became member owned. It’s such an excit-
ing time to be a member of such an outstanding
club. You, our members, make this club such a spe-
cial place. We all expect and demand a good value
here, and we so enjoy our culture as it has evolved,
sophisticated and elegant, yet still smart and simple.
We cherish the time we spend together with old
friends, and we have plenty of opportunities to meet
new friends. Shadow Wood is indeed a very special
place.
The weather has been spectacular and the Club
is ready to provide you with another year of won-
derful experiences. There are plenty of activities for
everyone and we’re trying some new things to keep
you happy and out of your kitchens! I hope you get
to try the “Burger Night on the Terrace.” Chef Rich
has a lot in store for us this season, so be prepared
to ENJOY!
Early reports for year-end financials are outstand-
ing, and we have just come off our most successful
year as member-owned. We had our best December
in club history and all indications are for another
very successful season. Brian has built a strong, sta-
ble and very talented management team dedicated
to serving us with the highest quality of service and
professionalism. Their commitment to improving
member experiences is exceptional. Club activities
and usage are up on just about every front and we
have a lot of happy members having a great time
with one another.
We continue to look for new and engaging op-
portunities for member activities. There are plenty
of occasions for all of us to be involved in a host of
golf and tennis events. Our social calendar is robust
and filled with activities to delight you.
Currently we have plans in progress to complete
the South Course renovation next summer. The
voting is currently going on and we are hopeful for
member approval. The front nine improvements are
receiving rave reviews from everyone.
And now it’s time to say “thank you.” This will be
my last newsletter article. It’s hard to believe that my
tenure as your President is nearing the end. I am so
honored and humbled at the responsibility and trust
you have put in me over the past two years. Thank
you for all the support you have given me and the
Board as we continue to grow a culture “where peo-
ple are proud to belong.”
See you at the Club!

From the
General Manager
Brian Bartolec
GM/COO
Dear Shadow Wood Country Club Members,
Happy New Year to all of you and your families! On behalf
of your entire team at Shadow Wood, we hope 2015 brings you
joy, friendships, good health, and lasting memories!
As we reflect back on 2014, it is rewarding to reminisce about
the memories that were created and the fun we shared while at
the club. 2014 was a record year for the club on many fronts!
Financially, the club exceeded its goals. Member satisfaction
is high. We conducted an Annual Member Satisfaction Survey.
Of the members who completed the survey, 98% rated their
experience as satisfied or better.
We started the year off with a bang by selling out our New
Years Eve Party. This was the trend for 2014, as all of our club
functions, parties, dances, golf, social, and tennis events hosted
record participation. We finished the year off with two fantastic
holiday dinner parties. Between the Preserve Holiday Dinner
and the Holy Ball at the Brooks campus, there were over 340
members celebrating their holiday season at the club.
During the summer months, our team of employees were
challenged to complete the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge.” The
members of Shadow Wood showed their support by giving
in excess of $7,000 to the ALS Association. Our team came
together and produced a dynamic video accepting and taking
the challenge.
The club committees were fully attended and each committee
contributed valuable recommendations to the Board of Directors
on how they would like to see the club improve in the future.
The Board of Directors meetings were extremely positive and the
Board is focusing all efforts on long term planning.
The golf courses overall were in solid shape. As the courses
are maturing and starting to show their age, it is evident
that it takes them longer to recover from extreme
weather conditions and high cart volume. This is most
evident towards the latter part of April and May. The
membership collectively plays 60,000 rounds between
January and May each year. Other clubs in the local
area have transitioned from 419 Bermuda to Celebration
Bermuda. Celebration Bermuda offers a dark green
colored grass that is drought resistant, quick growing,
and can mask/overgrow other types of mutated grasses.
In the summer of 2014, it was decided to renovate the
front nine holes of the South golf course as a test to see
if Celebration Bermuda would be a viable option for
our fairways moving forward. It is especially rewarding
to see how our team has taken the challenges on the
golf course, and turned them into a positive plan for
improvement moving forward. The renovation came
in on time, under budget, and conditions were better
than expected. A winning combination. We are actively
planning for the improvement of all of our golf courses
by following the “Master Plans” created by architects,
Robert Cupp and Art Hills.
As of December 31st
, Shadow Wood CC membership
was as follows:
Golf – 845
Executive – 23
Senior – 25
Sports – 102
Social – 126
Clubhouse – 46
Total – 1,167 memberships
New memberships in 2014:
Golf – 34
Executive – 9
Sports – 10
Clubhouse – 18
Total – 71 memberships
There was no turnover at the Senior Management
level. The managers have excelled in their respective
associations. Director of Agronomy, Eric Ruha was the
immediate Past President of a 350 member Everglades
Golf Course Superintendent Association. Executive
Chef, Richard Crisanti was voted “Executive Chef of the
Year” by the SW Florida American Culinary Federation
for the second year in a row. This was the first time
a Chef won this award back to back in the history of
the chapter. Membership Director, Danita Osborn was
voted to Membership Directors’ Association Board of
Directors and is the Website & Communications Chair.
We made great strides in improving the image
and overall member experience in several areas of the
operation to include: Making significant investments
in member service and amenities by adding a LPGA
Teaching professional, an additional Executive Sous Chef
and a Club Manager for the Preserve. Our managers
now have a complete understanding of my vision of
how their presence and attention to detail can enhance
our clubs’ events. Working directly with our team has
allowed me the opportunity to portray my own feelings
about how a manager needs to lead their team and service
our membership. “Plan your work and work your plan”
and be “Visible.” The hourly employees have taken an
ownership role in their daily activities. The general spirit
of the staff for 2014 was upbeat, positive and excited
about the upcoming 2015 season.
Shadow Wood Country Club has built a fantastic
reputationofprovidingaqualityexperience,awelcoming,
friendly atmosphere where members, guests, family, and
employees alike enjoy spending time together.
Our entire team is fully dedicated to the idea that
outstanding customer service and member experience
is one of the ways Shadow Wood can differentiate itself
from other clubs. As a team, we are committed to make
each visit you make to the club memorable. We have a
full calendar of fun activities for 2015.
Thank you for your continued support. We look
forward to a fantastic 2015!
Respectfully yours,

4. Dear Shadow Wood Country Club Members,
The Golf Staff wishes everyone a Happy and Healthy 2015!
We are excited about this coming year’s golf programs and re-
main dedicated to offering a golf experience at Shadow Wood
CC that our members can be proud of.
The golf events schedule for the next few months is full
and offers a variety of social and competitive options. These
events serve as exciting opportunities for members to interact
and are an important element in the culture of Shadow Wood Country Club. We
are grateful for the participation from our members in the annual events and will
continue to find ways to make every event special.
The Golf Shops remain stocked with the finest available equipment, apparel,
and accessories. Stay tuned to your email and club communications for numerous
Demo-Day announcements. We enjoy hosting multiple vendors and the chance
to spend some personal time with our members who are looking for some assis-
tance with adding new equipment to their golf bags. As always, the SWCC golf
shop is your golf shop and the staff is here for you. So, please let us know how we
can assist with your shopping experience.
The Shadow Wood CC Golf Academy has started the season strong! As you have
seen, The Academy introduced and facilitated numerous new and beneficial instruc-
tional programs. These programs have seen tremendous support and their reviews
have been extremely positive for those who made the commitment towards improv-
ing their golf! With multiple PGA and LPGA certified instructors on staff, our mem-
bers have numerous resources available to assist them with their golf games. The
Academy will continue to offer a variety of forums for learning, including: clinics,
multi-day schools, guest-instructor seminars, private lessons, and more. Golf is cycli-
cal and tendencies often creep in and out of our game. However, with the wealth of
knowledge and experience existing in the Academy staff, we look forward to offering
specific insight about improvements in your game. So contact the Golf Shop soon,
schedule your next golf lesson, and have more fun!
In closing, on behalf of the entire golf staff, Happy New Year! We appreciate
all of your support and look forward to ensuring continual improvement in your
golf experience. Our focus is on making this the best golf season yet at Shadow
Wood Country Club!
Respectfully yours,
Andy Scrivner
Director of Golf

4 | The Shadow | WINTER 2015
Dear Shadow Wood Country Club Members,
This past year was very exciting for your golf course maintenance team. Throughout the summer
and fall we accomplished many projects and upgrades. I would like to highlight a few of them that you
are sure to notice.
The hard work and detail that was put into the renovations for the front nine South Golf Course
have been met with much fanfare. The new Celebration Bermuda grass on tees, fairways and ap-
proaches looks much more uniform and consistent. The main two acre driving range tee near the South
putting green was also re-grassed to avoid over seeding and give a feel for the turf that we are converting
to. The growth and recovery of Celebration to date has been very impressive.
The complete rebuild of the 6th
green complex on the South course was a welcome change. While
the hump was eliminated in the middle of the putting surface, the new green still provides plenty of
challenges. We also enlarged many of the smaller tees that struggled in the winter months and built per-
manent forward tees. We are looking forward to completing the rest of the courses in the years to come.
The North and Preserve received all the necessary agronomic practices to gear them up for seasonal
play. Your golf course maintenance team continues to focus on the details and make the courses the
best they can be each and every day.
Our mission has always been to give you the best possible playing conditions with each round you
play and step it up even more for special events. We want you and your guests to be “wowed!” Thank
you for your positive comments and support. We look forward to seeing you on the courses this season!
Sincerely,
Eric W. Ruha
Director of Golf Course Maintenance and Agronomy

From the Director of Merchandise … Jeanette Fulton
Happy New Year from the Golf Shop Staff!
Fashion plays an important role in the game of golf. Style is
about thinking outside the tee box. When you’re looking good
while playing good, what a feeling!
I am excited to see the fashions that will take us through
the year of 2015. In January I am attending the PGA Show in
Orlando.AsamemberoftheAssociationofGolfMerchandisers,
I will be able to see early product previews, attend educational
seminars, and see the latest in fashion updates during the show.
I look forward to seeing all the latest offerings from the vendors.
This spring, color is the new black! Look for a color palette
filled with bright blues, greens, and yellows balanced against traditional blacks and
grays. Cotton is making a comeback but tech fabrics remain the number one favorite.
No ironing and lots of play! We will see clean, sophisticated aesthetics.
As no two snowflakes are identical, you will find this true for your golf shops. Having
two shops allows us to offer a broad spectrum of apparel, shoes, and equipment.
The 9 hole ladies can visit either golf shop for colorful apparel for the “Garden
Party” golf event on January 27th. It is sure to be the tee party of the season!
As the winds of March blow in, the Ladies Legacy will arrive March 3rd and 4th.
You will not want to miss a single moment of the good times that we have in store
for you!
We hope you will continue to enjoy your member discount of 20% off retail pricing
in the golf shop. Watch your Weekly Happenings for shopping specials, sales, and
events. Come on in and enjoy the fun, fashion, and great deals!
It’s a pleasure to be on the Shadow Wood Team. We look forward to seeing you
soon!

As the clock clicked over to 12:01 am on
January 1st
, I realized something: I have been
the Tennis Director at Shadow Wood for over
12 years! In 2002 when I came over from the
east coast, no one knew what Shadow Wood
was going to become. I was taking a chance. It
ended up being a fantastic decision!
There were tough times towards the end
of the developer years but many of us stuck
it out, knowing the members would win out
sooner or later. Shadow Wood has now be-
come one of the best country clubs in in the
state, if not the country. The club will con-
tinue to improve and stay on the cutting edge.
I will do my best to continue to improve the
Tennis Department. I would be honored to be
here for twelve more years.
The fall tennis season has been very active
with leagues, boot camps, and events. The
courts are hopping and everyone is having
fun. New merchandise is arriving daily and
the Tennis Shop is looking great. Look for a
big sale the week before Valentine’s Day. We
are gearing up for an exciting winter season
with many fun-filled events and programs.
We look forward to everyone coming back
and joining in. Remember we offer programs
that encourage new players also, so come by
and check us out.

TENNIS TIP
From Shadow Wood Racquet Tech, Al Piscitelli
Five Causes of Tennis Elbow
1 Racquet: The weight, length, stiffness and balance of your racquet all
affect the stress it places on your arm. Lightweight (less than 10 ounc-
es), extended-length (longer than 27 inches), extra stiff (RA greater
than 60) and head-heavy (more than 5 points HH) racquets can all
increase your chance of tennis elbow.
2] String Selection: The pros love polyester strings for added spin and
power, but they’re too stiff for many recreational players. Natural gut
and synthetic strings - or a hybrid of both - are all easier on the arm.
3] String Tension: If you string your racket in the 60s or higher, you’re
putting yourself at risk for tennis elbow. The best tensions for your
elbow (in pounds) are: high 50s (for natural gut), low 50s (multifila-
ment synthetic) and high 40s (monofilament synthetic).
4] Grip: A grip that’s too large or too small may force you to hold onto it
too tightly, which puts stress on your tendons.
5] Technique: A stroke that stops mid-swing, relies too heavily on fore-
arm muscles or is too “wristy” upon impact can all lead to arm pain.
Keep in mind each player is unique based on physical characteristics,
the way he or she plays and the level they play at.

Kalpin, the Tennis Director at West Bay came over to lend a helping
hand. At the end of the day, all kids received a Shadow Wood knapsack
which contained a lot of good stuff. Many kids vowed that they will
now play tennis forever. Community service is always fun!

Dear Shadow Wood Members,
Welcome to a new year at
Shadow Wood Country Club!
Our 5th
anniversary of being
member-owned seems to have
come so quickly and it reminds
me of all the growth and success
our Club has seen over the past
5 years.
The membership numbers finished strong in
2014. We welcomed 71 new members and had a low
attrition rate of just 3%. The support from members
in the recruiting efforts has played an instrumental
part in that growth. A survey of new members shows
that over 55% of new members heard about Shadow
Wood through current member referrals. Let’s keep
that trend going in the new year so we can continue
to replenish our membership with friendly faces!
Through our new member survey, we have also
found that 92% of new members felt welcome at
Shadow Wood from the beginning. I know this is in
large part due to the Ambassador program that has
been so well supported by many of you. I am always
looking for new Ambassadors to place with new
members so if you are interested please contact me!
As you have friends and family visit you this
season at Shadow Wood, I hope you will continue
to show them why Shadow Wood Country Club is
the club where members are proud to belong! If you
know of someone who might be interested in learning
more about the membership opportunities at Shadow
Wood, I am always available to provide information
and answer questions.
Looking forward to a great season and a success-
ful 2015!
Sincerely,
Danita Osborn
Director of Membership

8. How Will the Affordable Care Act
Affect the Club Industry?
FROM THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
SOREN SPIERS
Starting in 2015, large employers, generally those
with at least 50 full-time employees, will be subject
to the employer shared responsibility requirements
under ACA (Affordable Care Act).
There are several concepts within the ACA that
employers need to be aware of as it may have signifi-
cant cost implications for 2015 and beyond.
What does Affordable Coverage mean?
Under the ACA’s shared responsibility requirement, Clubs must offer
“affordable” health coverage to their employees. Fulltime employees
should not be asked to pay more than 9.5% of their household income
for coverage or the Club may be subject to a $2,000 annual penalty per
full-time employee or $3,000 per full-time employee receiving tax cred-
it. To offer more affordable plans, the Clubs have two primary choices:
1.Reduce the employee contribution required in the current plan. This
option would result in higher costs for the Club.
2.Add a lower-cost plan. This could either raise or lower cost depend-
ing on whether the lower-cost plan was offered as an option or as a
replacement.
Timeline for Compliance
Clubs will use information about the employees during the 2014 year
to determine whether they have enough employees to be subject to the
requirements in 2015. Based on current data, Shadow Wood Country
Club will be categorized as a Large Employer and will therefore fall
under full required compliance under the ACA starting in 2015.
Cost of the Impact
46% of the employers in the hospitality industry expect their costs to
increase by 3% or more.
What causes the increase?
The added costs will come from the need to extend coverage to employ-
ees who are currently ineligible for coverage in the health plan. Clubs
that do not comply will face a penalty of $2,000 per employee, minus
the first 30 employees.
Sincerely,
Soren Spiers, CHAE

Chef’s Corner
Happy New Year and I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday
season! It was a great 2014 season for the Club. I truly appreciate
your support and kind emails and letters of congratulations for
being named Chef of the Year in 2013 and 2014. I am humbled
by this distinguished honor and I am proud to be your Chef at
Shadow Wood Country Club.
My culinary staff and I are very excited about the upcoming
season and are committed to continued quality and consistency. I
have enhanced the kitchen staff to include Executive Sous Chef Boun, Pastry Chef Stacy and
a new member of the kitchen team at the Preserve, Chef Mark.
Please join me for my cooking classes that will be offered on Monday, February 16, 2015
and Monday, April 20, 2015. Be sure to make your reservations early! If you can’t make
the classes, I will be “auctioned off” for a personal dinner for six prepared in your home. It
is my pleasure to assist the Shadow Wood Charitable Foundation in their goal to raise funds
for those in need.
New menus and evening dining have been added at the Preserve for your dining pleasure.
The Preserve will be open every day for lunch and five evenings per week (Tuesday through
Saturday) for appetizers, a la Carte dinner and Party at the Preserve. Come join us to
experience the additional dining options at the Preserve.
Member feedback inspires creativity and your input is very important to us. Please fill out
the comment cards included in your check presenter or email me personally. Your opinion
helps us to serve you better. I look forward to serving you and your guests at the Club!
Your Chef,
Richard Crisanti, CEC, CCA, ACE
Executive Chef
We could not be more proud of our very own Executive Chef
Richard Crisanti who has been voted “2014 Chef of the Year” by
the American Culinary Federation (ACF), Caxambas Chapter of
Southwest Florida for the second year in a row! This is the first
time in the chapter’s history that a chef has won back-to-back
years! This is the highest honor a Chef in our area can be awarded
and is a result of his dedication to the culinary field and his work
with his local ACF chapter.
Even though Chef Rich has won this prestigious award
(AGAIN!), he is not done growing professionally. His goal over
the next 5 years is to become a Certified Master Chef, a designa-
tion awarded to only 70 Chefs worldwide! While his sights are set high for himself, they are
just as high for the future of Shadow Wood’s culinary operation. His plan is to continue to
elevate the quality of food to make SWCC the #1 dining destination of its members. By
implementing frequent menu changes, providing a range of healthy and gluten free items,
offering cooking classes, and other new culinary experiences, Chef Rich is determined to
make the Shadow Wood dining experience second to none!
