CLUBHOUSE

FROM THE CLUBHOUSE

By Assistant General Manager Dan Britts Despite the rain and storms that seemed ever-present at the start of the summer, we all persevered and made the most of the Club all summer long. Club event attendance and member dining surged throughout the summer, including at the 9th annual Field of Driving Dreams Car Show, which saw a record number of cars (130) and attendees (300+). The Labor Day BBQ & Fireworks featuring a live performance from Claire Mahoney & The Great Adventure, coupled with the ideal weather, ended the summer season in perfect fashion with almost 450 attendees.

Autumn in Tuxedo truly is a beautiful transition with breathtaking colors and calm, crisp evenings - perfect for enjoying dinner on the terrace at the Lakeside at Main. We hope to see you - please utilize the Club’s new website and mobile app to confirm your reservations.

And a friendly reminder that it‘s never too early to plan your personal or professional holiday party at the Club. Please contact Maura Lennon our Events Manager to start the process.

Thank you for your continued support. The hospitality team is always looking forward to creating lasting memories for you at the Club.

CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON OUR FIRST-EVER FISHING DERBY

TUXEDO LAKE

FROM THE BOATHOUSE

By Boatmaster Ted Theissen After a wonderful summer season, the fall season is fully underway at the Boathouse!

Fishing on Tuxedo Lake has never been better and there is still a bit of time to enter our first-ever Fishing Derby (deadline for entries: October 1st). Winners will be selected in the following categories: Heaviest Bass, Longest Bass, Longest Trout, Longest Bluegill and Largest Bass Off The Docks (KIDS ONLY).

After a spectacular event last year, our second annual Tuxedo 1886 Regatta on October 8th will again feature eight of the top men and women single scull rowers in the U.S., who will compete in a one-on-one knockout-style competition on Tuxedo Lake. Races begin at 1:00pm.

As the weather turns colder, Club canoes and kayaks will remain available for use as long as weather and water temperatures permit. The Club’s row boat and trolling motors will also be available for fishing as long as practical.

For members with boats in the water, a reminder that boats will need to be out of the water by November 4th. And all members who have their canoes, kayaks and SUPs in the Boathouse should confirm winter storage with the Boathouse as soon as possible.

TUXEDO RECIPE

APPLE RICOTTA FRITTERS WITH MAPLE BUTTER Recipe Courtesy of Executive Chef Frederick Daniel, CEC Makes 40 Fritters Ingredients For Fritters: 1/3 cup Fine Ground Corn Meal 2/3 cups Cake Flour 2 ½ tsp Baking Powder 1/3 tsp Kosher Salt 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese (drained) ½ cup Gala Apples peeled and cored and sliced 1 tsp Butter ½ tsp Granulated Sugar 2/3 cup Apple Butter ½ cup Light Brown Sugar 2 tbs Lemon Zest (about 2 lemons) 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract 2 Large Eggs (lightly whipped) 2 ½ quarts Canola Oil for frying Deep frying thermometer Powdered sugar for dusting For Maple Butter: 8 tbs Butter (room temperature) ¼ cup Maple Syrup 1 Pinch Kosher Salt

1886 Magazine | Page 25

APPLE RICOTTA FRITTERS WITH MAPLE BUTTER Method: In a small bowl combine the cornmeal, cake flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Next, in a sauté pan over medium heat, add butter and sliced apples.

Sprinkle in ½ tsp of granulated sugar. Sauté apples until slightly Browned. About 1 minute. Remove apples and allow to drain and cool. Mince the apples when cool enough to handle.

In a mixing bowl, add the minced apples, ricotta, apple butter, brown sugar, lemon zest and vanilla. Mix to combine. Then thoroughly mix in the eggs.

Add the flour mixture to the apple mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until just combined. Hold the batter at room temperature while you heat the oil.

Pour Canola Oil into a 1-gallon capacity heavy saucepan (make sure you have at least 3 inches of oil).

When oil has heated to 375 degrees, carefully drop 1 tbs scoops of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, 4-5 fritters at a time works best.

When fritters are golden brown on one side, use a slotted spoon to flip the fritters over. Continue cooking until golden brown (about 1 minute per side should be sufficient). Lower the flame if the oil temperature goes above 380 degrees.

Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter.

For the Maple Butter In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment combine the butter with the maple syrup and a pinch of salt Mix until light and airy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Dust the fritters with powdered sugar and serve with the Maple Butter.

GOLF UPDATE

By Chris Muldoon, Director of Golf

It is hard to believe that Labor Day has come and gone - what a wonderful (and fast!) summer season we had here at Tuxedo.

Golf activity remains strong despite the high levels of rain this summer. Play is currently up more than 3,200 rounds compared to last year (which was a shortened season due to the golf course renovation) and more than 1,500 rounds compared to 2021 (a more typical season).

One of the highlights of our season, the Men’s & Women’s Club Championships, wrapped up a successful summer with some exciting matches from our finalists.

In the Men’s Club Championship, Cole Meitner recovered from a ‘3 Down’ deficit through the opening nine holes to win his third Club Championship over seven-time Club Champion Dan Rifkin by a ‘3 & 2’ margin in the 36-hole final.

Congratulations, Cole!

GOLF UPDATE CONT’D

By Chris Muldoon, Director of Golf

The Women’s Club Championship provided a more dramatic finish.

In the Semi-Finals, Jill Johnson defeated Defending Champion Kimberly Engelbert to advance to the Women’s 18-Hole Final for the first time.

In another exciting Semi-Final match, and a rematch of the 2020 Finals match, Kellie Baldwin won the last two holes to force extra holes against 2020 Champion Joette Fullerton. Interestingly, they ventured to 19 holes back in 2020 too! On the 19th hole, Baldwin sunk a 12’ birdie putt to advance to the Finals match, hoping for a better result than she had in 2020.

Excitingly, Baldwin’s Semi-Final win guaranteed that we would crown a first-time Women’s Club Champion on Labor Day. In the Finals match, Baldwin needed to win the final two holes to advance to extra holes against Johnson – which she did with pars.

In extra holes, Johnson and Baldwin both lipped out short putts on the first three extra holes and remained tied. On the 22nd hole (#4), Baldwin hit a long drive and spectacular approach shot for a routine par to win her first Women’s Club Championship – and her name forever engraved on the silver ‘Ramapo Valley Trophy’.

Congratulations Kellie!

GOLF UPDATE CONT’D

By Chris Muldoon, Director of Golf In addition, I’d like to congratulate the winners of our coveted “Silver” tournaments (since July’s edition) including: Kellie Baldwin & Karen Banyo won the Medalist & Eleanor Madronal trophies awarded to the individual low gross and net scores, respectively, after 36 holes played over two days.

A. Jay Baldwin defeated the golf course handily in the individual match play versus par (net) format of the Ramapo Valley Cup. Clutch play with three net birdies over the final four holes secured the narrow victory.

Caroline Beers & Gail Washburn won individual low net in their respective divisions of the Senior & Super Senior Championships.

Aileen Bruner defeated Runner-Up Jennifer Weiss in the finals of the Ladies’ 9-Hole Club Championship.

We look forward to sharing the results of our final few ‘majors’ over the course of the next month.

GOLF UPDATE CONT’D

By Chris Muldoon, Director of Golf Lastly, as this golf season winds down, the professional staff has observed an increase in golf course etiquette infractions. Therefore, the Golf & Green Committee would like to remind all members of the common courtesies that encompass golf course etiquette and assist us in ensuring that all players have the highest quality experience while enjoying our golf course. In short, it is about “respect”: Respect for the course – leave the course as you would like to find it by repairing pitch-marks, replacing divots, raking bunkers, etc.

Respect for your fellow players and staff – be sportsmanlike, polite, avoid distracting behavior, and play at a reasonable pace of play.

Respect for the game – by knowing the rules and etiquette of golf.

Moving forward, the Golf & Green Committee is instituting a notification system, that could include disciplinary actions, to document violations related to the above. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the high standards of our Club. We are confident that together, we can continue to create an outstanding golfing environment for all members.

We’d like to thank you for your support of the golf program at Tuxedo and I encourage you to contact me or any member of the professional staff if we can be of any assistance throughout the remainder of the season.
