2 Forsgate Country Club2 Forsgate Country Club

Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone has had a

great holiday season and is going to enjoy our club

over the winter months. As you can see from the

contents of this issue of Traditions, we continue to look

for new events and activities that add to the value and enjoyment

of membership at Forsgate Country Club. As always we pride

ourselves on being the #1 Family Club in New Jersey.

Th is winter our Food and Beverage staff will be upgrading

Restaurant 37. As such, the Dining Room will be closed

throughout the winter until April 1st except for Valentine’s Day.

We will use this time to enhance service training and to refi ne

the concept, recipes and presentation of our exciting menu. I look

forward to your support in 2011 and welcome your input.

Th e winter practice facility is open and available for practice or

instruction. Please take advantage of the opportunity to keep your

game sharp and your golf fi tness levels high during the off season

by using it or the Sports Complex often.

Keep your New Year’s resolutions for fi tness, fl exibility, nutrition

or an improved golf game by visiting with Dave Kopf or Scott

Barnaby, our Titleist trained golf fi tness instructors this winter.

your fellow Members have consistently shown your kindness towards

those who have worked hard to make your time at Forsgate the best

possible for you. Your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed by our

staff and made for a much brighter holiday for all.

During the winter months, we will be working diligently on your

calendar of activities and events for the upcoming months.

Be sure to stop by the Indoor Winter Practice Facility and warm up

before your round at or call ahead for a lesson. Th e winter is also a

great time to schedule your golf specifi c personal training program

with Dave Kopf in our Sports Complex.

in shaping the future Membership by referring one or many of your

friends or business associates to Membership at Forsgate! Th is

year, make this one of your New Year’s Resolutions….forward a new

Member referral each month to your Club!

Food & Beverage Tony DiGioia-Laird, Director of Food & Beverage

As we enter a New Year, some of us may be

considering a “New Year’s Resolution(s)”.

Here are a few ideas, while keeping

Forsgate Country Club in mind:

1. If you only drink white wines, it is time to expand

your horizons and try the reds. Th e newest trend is red

blends. Th ey are listed under “Meritage” in most wine

books. Two new Meritage wines we have added are

Stag’s Leap Cellar’s Hands of Time and Sterling SVR.

2. Attend at lead one special event held at the club

each month. We off er many outstanding events

that meet the diverse interests of our members.

Remember, every Tuesday is Family night and children

are free.

3. Become more involved in the club. Share an idea;

Join a committee; Recommend a new member.

4. Restaurant 37 will reopen in April and featuring

some new changes. Make time to enjoy this fi ne

dining experience. More information will be available

in the March Traditions.

Forsgate Country Club provides opportunities to

spend quality time with family and friends; golfi ng

encourages members to foster healthy lifestyles;

special events help attendees learn something new

while enjoying life.

Good luck with your resolutions. Have a healthy happy

and prosperous 2011!

Forsgate TV UpdateTh e Forsgate TV production team is already thinking ahead for the new year. If you have any suggestions and/or would like to be included in an upcoming episode of FTV, please contact Heifa Sirangelo at 732-656-8900, or mention your interest to Tom Herrmann (Forsgate member) or Andy Strohl (Forsgate staff ) when you see either of them at the Club.

Our December episode of FTV will feature this fall’s Char-ity Golf Classic with Annika Sorenstam and J. B. Holmes, a tip from our golf staff to help your game, a look at this year’s traditional tree lighting ceremony, and our campy comic club comrades Wayne & Skippy.

Around Th e Course


Sports Complex

See what Forsgate Members are saying about the personal training program…For years I have struggled on and off with weight loss programs, but when my doctor told me I needed to lose weight or I risk serious health issues like diabetes, I knew I had to find a better way. In April I signed up to train with a personal trainer at Forsgate’s Sports Complex. Since working out with Rob Cantora for 3 months I am astounded at the results. I have lost 30 lbs, and I feel great! Rob has been fantastic, he put me on a training schedule that is definitely working for me and keeps me motivated. The Sport’s Complex is kept meticulously clean and the machines are always operating! Dave, Rob and the rest of the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and work hard to help you meet your goals!

Thanks for everything!

Angelo Ventrone

Working with Dave Kopf has improved my body composition, overall health and self esteem. Dave makes training enjoyable and educating, which is what keeps me coming back for more. I strongly recommend personal training to anyone who wants to feel better about themselves!
