Craig and Jan Stadler

fan favorite since 1976, colorful, jovial Craig Stadler, aka the Walrus, made PGA Ahistory with his one-shot victory over at the 2013 Encompass Championship, played at North Shore Country Club in Chicago. Stadler hadn’t been in the winner’s circle for eight years, eight months and 28 days— the longest time between wins in Champions Tour history. On a rollercoaster four-bogey Sunday, he won the Champions Tour event by sinking a 12-foot putt for par (recalling another putt 21 years at Firestone Country Club in Ohio when he won the World Series of Golf over ). Stadler built a five-stroke lead through the first eight holes before erratic shot making in the stretch. “I missed every putt on the back but I made the one that counted,” Stadler noted. ”It’s my first win since my wedding in 2010, and my wife’s family— 10 of them—are here today because she is from Chicago.” Stadler married Jan Zumbrunner in 2010 at his beloved nine-acre Evergreen, Colo. property. Outdoors on the deck was his wish, and it came with fresh snow, hail, deer scampering about and brilliant sunshine—a typical day in May in

United States, and it’s very personal. Stadler auctioned off a day of play with him at TPC Sawgrass, dinner and a stay at the couple’s Jacksonville, Fla., home, to benefit the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. Initially the item raised $25,000. Last year, three winners contributed $90,000. Stadler is a keynote speaker at Denver’s Men for the Cure, and the couple hosts and cooks for “50 new friends” at their Evergreen home on behalf of Edith Sanford’s Breast Cancer Research Foundation. WaterHope is another cause Stadler actively supports with the Wine to Water Pro-Am in Napa Valley, Calif. In total in 2012, Stadler dedicated an amazing 21 days to charity golf. On June 2, the Walrus celebrated his 60th birthday. He attended the graduation of Jan’s niece in Chicago and then flew to Memphis for a charity golf tournament. Jan’s birthday surprise for him was a definite winner: a hydraulic lift trailer for their home in Evergreen. Colorado. The celebration, attended by 150 friends, included cutting the wedding cake in the Trophy Room and toasts made with Miner Family Oracle, a personal favorite from Stadler’s famed cellar. Following the wedding, the couple embarked on a 45-day honeymoon in Argentina, where the new groom was honored in that country’s Hall of Fame. The Encompass win came after three difficult years for Stadler health-wise, including incorrect diagnoses. Four MRIs showed nothing, and then a correct diagnosis was finally made on Stadler’s left hip: no cartilage. ’s surgeon successfully operated on Stadler in September 2010, but then back problems surfaced. In 2011, kidney stones appeared. Then, his mother’s passing created a severe loss. Stadler injured his foot while loading in Evergreen, and he reinjured his back in 2012.

Colorado golfers and industry experts may not be out on the courses daily in winter months, but that doesn’t mean they’re not thinking about golf. Deeply! And what better way to direct their thoughts than in recognizing the very best golf courses in the state? Once again, Colorado Golf Magazine has tapped industry experts and staff members and asked them to choose their favorites among Colorado’s private, public and resort courses. It’s not an easy choice to make. In fact, Colorado has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to superb golf courses, meaning that choosing just 30 out of hundreds is difficult, indeed. Here are the 2013 results—fine courses you should consider playing just as soon as weather and time permit. Perhaps the biggest shake-up came in the Private Course category, which this year features some names that were not on the list after the last survey was tallied. Among the new golf courses this year is Country Club of the Rockies in the No. 6 spot, Country Club at Castle Pines in the No. 8 spot and The Club at Flying Horse and Columbine Country Club coming in at No. 9 and 10, respectively. Congratulations to all.

n just four years, a first-class mountain resort in the Teton Valley continually proves that that an idyllic rural retreat can indeed provide sumptuous creature comforts without commercialism Iand crowds. In Driggs, Idaho, Huntsman Springs operates in such a quietly efficient, personable way that harried urbanites continually choose it for an extended getaway. The resort is the creation of four-time cancer survivor, international businessman and philanthropist Jon Huntsman, Sr., and all profits garnered by the resort are donated to cancer research. His inspiration for Huntsman Springs? A day on the Teton River casting for trout. David Huntsman, resort CEO and president of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation says, “My father is an avid fisherman and he loves Idaho—he was born and raised not far from Huntsman Springs. He is very hard-charging and driven from a business sense, and when he goes to the river he is always thinking of a business justification to rationalize spending time fishing.”

Huntsman says that his father began buying thousands of acres of land in the Teton Valley. “He thought it would be a passive investment, but it evolved into something that could benefit those suffering from cancer. That’s our driving motivation every single day.” All profits from Huntsman Springs go to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, owned and run by the University of Utah, specializing in genetic cancer research. The foundation is structured so that the Huntsman family can never accept any of its accompanying profits. Scottish-born David McLay Kidd, with St. Andrews Links Castle Course among his creations, was charged with putting together a world-class destination in the Teton Valley. “It’s designed as maximum risk, maximum reward,” says Tony Snoey, Huntsman Springs general manager and president. “Options are always different, depending on time of day and weather. It’s a good test of golf. That being said, the views are pretty, the course is in pristine condition, and hospitality is second to none. It’s a total experience in the Grand Tetons. First-timers say, ‘Wow, that was tough, but it’s fun and I can’t wait to get back out there.’ They probably left some shots. Every time you play, it opens more and more to reveal itself. It’s mysterious the first few times, until you learn its nuances. Members love it.”

Mountain View Lodge

The course and resort community have been recognized with at least 15 national awards. While golf is a showpiece, the resort also offers stellar fly-fishing, hiking and biking, and access to an annual 500 inches of powder at Grand Targhee Ski Resort, just 12 miles away. Snoey says, “Huntsman Springs is also becoming known for service. We take great care of our members and guests, and nothing goes unchecked—whether it’s stocking homes with groceries, shuttling them to and from the airport, picking up a license at the courthouse or finding a mechanic to fix their car. You can have the best amenities money can buy, but you need the right people to make them work.” A new venue with tennis courts, swimming pool and spa is scheduled to open onsite next June. Huntsman says, “The upcoming wellness center is important from a family aspect. We want

year, the resort hosts an annual “Celebrate America” festival, free to the public and held downtown the week before Independence Day. Guests enjoy a county fair and a nighttime concert with fireworks held on the Huntsman Springs . The event began in 2010 with 7,000 attending and grew to an estimated 30,000 this year. Huntsman Springs logos feature Lucky Pierre, the resort’s resident rare white buffalo, considered sacred in some cultures. Visitors from around the region come to see and snap photos of the friendly 2,000-pound mascot and his female herd. The family owns a collection of classic cars, and the resort displays one each week for area auto enthusiasts. “The Huntsmans try to be a great partner to the community,” says Snoey. Do the Huntsmans get to enjoy their namesake resort? “My parents have nine children and 56 grandchildren,” says Huntsman. “It takes an entire community like Huntsman Springs to hold a family reunion.” For more information, go to HuntsmanSprings.com, or call 877.354.9660. ______Lisa Perry is a staff writer with Colorado Golf Magazine

We want people to experience it for themselves, and we think they’ll agree with us it’s a wonderful place for families and to get away. It’s important that is bears our family name—it’s near and dear to our hearts and very personal.” Huntsman Springs’ residential community attracts successful families and individuals from around the country who maintain second and third homes, but members are not required to own property to enjoy the resort. Memberships are streamlined. “Once you pay your dues, there are no cart fees, and no food-and- beverage minimum,” says Snoey. Golf lessons are unlimited and complimentary. “Our PGA staff give about 10 lessons a day to our members, whether they are just learning or improving their game.” When the wellness center opens in 2014, complimentary swimming and tennis lessons will be offered as well. The Huntsmans have donated funds for Driggs’ new county courthouse and upgrades for its high school ballfields. Each

We start slowly practical result of that power is the ability to hit the ball farther, and gradually build that power over time by challenging ourselves which is what every golfer wants to achieve. each day. Second, we need to understand where power is located Given that, the first thing to understand is that creating more inside the human body and how to tap into those power muscles in power is no different than anything else that we do as human the . beings: To achieve it, it must be conditioned daily, in the same way

Photos by Kenneth Malone Finding the Power

The strongest muscles in the human body are located utilize their power muscles to create a variety of power levels in their underneath us: glutes, hamstrings and quads. Yet a good majority of swing. golfers do not utilize these power muscles in their golf swings. When it comes to golf swings, the three most powerful forces are A common flaw that I see among higher- golfers is that leverage, gravity and centrifugal force or rotation. The goal in their legs are quiet throughout the swing, forcing the upper body to generating power in the swing is to have the ability to tap into these try to compensate to generate power. By contrast, the common forces, not only to make the ball go farther but to control the distance thread I see among the best golfers in the world is that they effectively the ball travels with greater precision. So how do we do that?

Storing Up Energy

In order to create energy, we must first store energy. It’s a fundamental principle: For every action, there will be an opposite and equal reaction. This principle holds true in the golf swing. In fact, the golf swing is a series of causes and effects during which actions create reactions. What golf instructors try to do is help their students create the best sequence of motion in the swing (action) in order to produce the best result (reaction). It’s my belief that the sole purpose of the backswing is to store up energy by loading our legs as the upper body winds up. Since the muscles in the lower body are designed vertically, the only way to engage those lower-body muscles is to load them vertically or squat. This motion is no different than that of s tennis player loading his legs as he winds up to hit a winning forehand.

Releasing the Energy

Once the lower body is “loaded,” it can use the ground as a lever to generate power. In my photos, you can see how I am using my legs to generate the appropriate amount of power for the desired distance. I engage my legs in the backswing by loading them as my shoulders wind up. This action puts me in a strong position to use the ground as a lever to release the energy in the forward swing. Notice that I have loaded my legs equally in both the driver and swings; however, I utilize the ground at different power levels in the forward swing, depending on the club. In the iron swing, my right foot is lower to the ground through impact, therefore creating less power from leverage. In the driver swing, my right foot is higher through impact, which creates greater power. The process is a chain reaction that starts in the ground and makes its way up through the legs, releasing rotational force provided by the hips with the shoulders instantly following. This, in effect, is why the common thread of great golf swings is that the power works from the ground up, while the common flaw in poor golf swings is that the power works through the upper body from the top down. Once you understand this, you can practice it daily and condition your body to act and react appropriately—in other words, achieve more power and control distance more effectively. ______Rob Stanger is a contributing writer to Colorado Golf Magazine

They must believe in Ntheir ability to meet the challenges of the task at hand each time they step up to the ball. Confidence, however, changes day- to-day and even shot to shot. It is easy to feel confident when things are going right; however, when performance is not at its best or the golfer is not experiencing success, confidence can be easily shaken. Famous football coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Everyone is confident when they are winning. Real confidence occurs when athletes are losing but are still able to maintain self-belief, or when they learn from their failures or mistakes and move on.”

The Path to Confidence Golfers who do not deal well with adversity or setbacks have a difficult time maintaining a positive mental attitude, which ultimately results in decreased performance. In the field of sports in the same manner that they practice their physical skills. This could psychology, most of the research on self-confidence has been based be due to a lack of motivation or understanding of how to implement on Stanford Professor Emeritus Albert Bandura’s theory of self- mental practice. Yet mental skills are just as important, or even more efficacy, defined as “belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute important, to successful performance, and it’s not as hard to practice the courses of action required to produce given attainments.” them as one might think. For golfers, there are two elements of the research to consider. There are two strategies for improving mental skills: imagery and First, there are three types of sport-confidence: cognitive efficiency, observational learning. resilience, and physical skills and training.

2014 Corvette Stingray By Aaron Atwood

he 2014 Corvette is a re-introduction of some of the brand’s classic design elements, and the result is a car that is meaner, leaner and sexier than ever. Chevy is Tcalling the Corvette C7 the Stingray, a harkening back to yesteryear when Corvette embodied all that was the American muscle car. There is little doubt from first glance to detailed inspection that the C7 is every bit the car that Corvette has ever been. While more definitive bodylines give it a bit more dramatic appearance, the footprint hasn’t changed much. After all, this is a piece of Americana that designers dare not mess with too much for fear of losing the car’s fan base. Though early rumors were that the C7 might have a mid- mounted engine, those were simply rumors—perhaps ginned up to create buzz. In the end, the only noise needed is that coming from the quad exhausts embedded in the rear apron. Purists will have a lot to praise. An almost angry front end glides expectantly to the rear deck. A slightly brawnier looking hood adds bulk. Quintessential Stingray elements such as the side vents make grandfathers across America want to consider trading in their Cadillac for the sportier Vette. The truth is, there are few other cars in the world as recognizable as the Corvette, and the C7 is a good move in the right direction for a redesign. The most obvious changes in terms of body style are the squared taillights replacing the circular lights in the C6. With some resemblance to the current Camaro taillights, the look is certainly more aggressive if not entirely original. The more modern looking elements give “old timers” some reason to pause—but that’s likely to end as soon as the stoplight turns green. The 6.2-liter engine gives the C7 the fastest 0-to-60 time ever released in a production Corvette. In less than four seconds, the

Stingray is breaking the 60 mph barrier. It’s estimated that the acceleration produces over 1 g of force. Who needs the Blue Angels when you have the Stingray? The interior won’t feel like a stripped- down fighter jet either. The team working on the C7 went back to the drawing board to get the interior right. Decades-long complaints about lack of appointments inside the Corvette are silenced with the C7. Two different seats—a racing and a base model—are optional but comfortable. Gone are the plastic and faux chrome. Now the interior feels more like it’s part of the car that changed the American automotive landscape. From the gauges to the controls, the C7 will leave you feeling that you are the Century without going geek on you. indicators significantly. The Z51 models center of attention.

It fell into disrepair about five years ago, but OB Sports Management, based in Scottsdale, has taken over the course and revitalized it. The renovation included new bunkers, the pruning of dead trees and 750 tons of cinder spread under trees to give the course a cleaner look.

Southern Dunes is the best Native American-owned course in Arizona.” Other quality courses located around the outskirts that Huffman said are under publicized include Raven at Verrado in Buckeye, Quintero Golf & Country Club and even Sedona Golf Resort.

uring the ascent to Flagstaff, you start to forget the world. The arrival at Pine Canyon Club is where you begin to remember yourself. “Upon arrival, you Dfeel a sense of tranquility,” says Taber Anderson, CIO of The True Life Companies, owner of Pine Canyon. “You feel like you’re way out in the country amid the wild pines and rolling hills of Northern Arizona. It’s captivating, and it draws you in as you draw near.” Less than two hours from Phoenix, opulent home sites, condos and luxury lodgings at private Pine Canyon (some available for short-term and seasonal getaways) complement a

host of property amenities that please both mature sensibilities and family-oriented residents. Not only is the location superb for its defining geographical features, including the soaring peak of Mount Humphreys and the high-desert environs of Coconino National Forest, the weather is divine—an average of 27 degrees cooler than the desert floor. Such cool confines are highlighted by the Jay Morrish-designed championship golf course recognized by as the 7th-ranked course in golf-rich Arizona. “There’s no question it’s a challenging course, but I’d also say it’s very fair,” Anderson says. “It’s not ‘tweaked-up,’ so to speak, just for the sake of making it tough. It’s interesting because it’s a unique blend of length and altitude, and each hole presents its own set of challenges.” While ball flight is increased thanks to the 7,000 feet of elevation, putting surfaces require ample grounding for a player to score. “It’s a shot-makers golf course,” Anderson continues. “I think it’s fairly forgiving off the tee, yet I’d rate the greens from fairly difficult to very difficult at times. The green sizes feel generous and the surfaces are incredibly manicured, but there’s a lot of undulation so you really need to study the breaks.” After experiencing the mesh of forced carries, rolling elevation and winding water features, players arrive at the

course’s bet-setting, diminutive 19th hole. Situated on an island green, the extended finisher is short on distance and long on closure. “More money trades hands there than the rest of the golf course combined,” Anderson notes with a laugh. The 35,000-square-foot clubhouse is a multifaceted, handsome venue for players and non- golfers alike. Dining, cocktails and a 1,700-bottle wine room serve on par with an abundance of outdoor views, while the lower- leveled fitness facility and intimate spa offer revitalization and relaxation. Adjacent to the clubhouse and nearby tennis courts is the ever- active Camp Pine Canyon, where children enjoy a host of activities from arts-and-crafts to organized games and sports.

In Fiamme Style report

ach January, the granddaddy of all golf-related merchandising shows spreads across three Eblocks and several floors of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. And as is true many years at the venerable PGA Merchandise Show, equipment and fashion dominated the vendor booths this year, with trendsetting apparel making an especially bold statement with new colors, new designs and new ideas about sportswear technology. Trending out of the 2013 limelight are wild neon colors, replaced by subtle blues, reds and greens. With the exception of Loudmouth Golf, which in keeping with its singularly independent style has just added Cupcakes, Drop Cloth, Shagadelic Pink and Old Glory to its color palette, it appears that blaringly bright is now fading to light. In addition to a change in hues, there has been a perceptible shift in the overall trend of golf fashion and gear at this year’s show, related to both technology and lifestyle. Designers are listening to what professionals and other players are saying, with the result that today’s clothing no longer resembles what we think of as classic golf attire. Instead, pieces are being produced that work on the golf course, at the gym or for a rendezvous with friends after a round. The look is golf smart and street smart, designs that make the clothing exceptionally versatile, yet with all the technological bells and whistles that enhance performance, too. One reason for this trend may be that manufacturers are no longer asking professionals just to wear their lines, they’re asking them to help design them as well. Oakley signed Bubba Watson to represent its apparel line and its new line of light shoes. Watson also influenced the 19th Hole Collection by Kentwool, which features the red and black colors of his alma mater, the University of Georgia, as well as the green Masters edition. oakley.com , shop.kentwool.com Keegan Bradley represents the red, white and blue of Tommy Hilfiger, while occasionally sporting evergreen and yellow solids and stripes, creating the all-around American boy look. tommy.com Graeme MacDowell teamed up with Irish company Kartel for his new line G-Mac, which is elegantly high- end country club style. kartel.ie/g-mac The key to great golf apparel today is its ability to take golfers from the course to Rodeo Drive without even a pause. In Fiamme, Italy’s finest golf apparel company, recently introduced its Primavera (Spring) Collection, which offers exactly the kind of hybrid style to do that. The line of hand-sewn, custom- designed men’s shirts features space-dyed, multicolored woven yarns. That subtle, elegant technique results in a soft rainbow-like effect visible within the woven fabrics. This stunning line of golf apparel can be found in country clubs, resorts and fine clothiers throughout North America. infiamme.net Just as golf wear for men is becoming both highly functional and beautifully fashionable, that same aesthetic has gained momentum for the ladies as well. Fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger has a line of shorts and skorts that can be worn just as appropriately on the course or at a charity luncheon. It’s all about sleek and sassy—and picking the right style for you. Hip-hugging shorts, for example, should stop right above the knee, while skorts are meant to be shorter, form fitting Tommy and provide just a touch of sexiness. tommy.com One style note we can all agree on is that the washed out, sweaty, wrinkled look is a thing of Hilfiger the past, outdated and unacceptable. Thanks to technological advances in sportswear, never before have there been so many products able to dramatically improve your game and meet the needs of your active lifestyle, wherever you are in golf ability or your life. The trends in golf fashion and gear are diversified enough to work for every type of player, from the tiniest of tots to the greatest icons of the game. The pros are already wearing and promoting the latest lines. Think of tournament fairways as the golf industry’s catwalks for the fashion trends of today and tomorrow. Like what you see? It will be coming to a near you shortly. Right now, as club shops clear out last year’s designs, general managers behind the scenes are getting ready to display the new lines recently purchased at the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. Racks and shelves will soon be loaded up with the latest offerings from manufacturers and designers, the latest colors and styles. But it’s not just about looks. When you invest in the newest lines, you are also taking advantage of and benefitting from the remarkable technology that continues to dominate the industry and up the value of golf wear—on and off the course. Consider that when you step onto the tee. Or Rodeo Drive.

ith the official awards season now behind us, from the Golden Globes and Grammys to the Oscars, the standards have been set for the fashion and jewelry trends of 2013. As expected during the season Wwhen all the elite entertainers are sashaying down multiple red carpets, there was a dazzle here and a gasp there. The major gasp this year was over the necklace Carrie Underwood so elegantly wore at the Grammy Awards. It was a Johnathon Arndt piece featuring 381 carats of oval, pear, marquise and round brilliant- white diamonds. Reported cost: $31 million. Not surprising, no other neck adornment was able to trump Underwood’s as the standout of the season. Sure, there were a few statement necklaces that sparkled and made us look, but the award for most dazzling jewelry this year goes to earrings. Wearing oversized stones, shoulder-grazing drops or Stonehenge-like slabs, celebrities were careful to turn their heads slowly lest they injure themselves with the millions of dollars in gems and metals dangling from their earlobes. Brilliant white diamonds seemed to be the most prevalent gemstone, followed by colored diamonds, emeralds, rubies and opals, and even black enamel. A smattering of all-gold chandelier earrings made an appearance on the red carpets; however, minus the diamonds they were hardly showstoppers. Now that you’ve blurted out to everyone you know, “I must have those earrings,” it’s time to act. We’ve found several fine jewelers who are happy to indulge your desires and custom design the earrings of your dreams, with or without the limitations of a budget. But some of the styles already created will easily turn heads as well. The Roberto Coin Fantasia Earring collection consists of 18K white gold with black and white diamonds. There are three different styles, ranging in price from $9,100 to $10,700. To view this fine collection, visit Roberto Coin Boutiqueat Coinusa.com. As is true of all art, the beauty of jewelry is very much in the eye of the beholder, and trends are only one element of what designers believe will enhance our wardrobe or make us feel wonderful. In fact, it is often an emotional connection to a piece that makes it truly special, and jewelry that holds or evokes a memory is often the most valuable to us, regardless of the price. When we see such a piece we yearn to own it, wear it and enjoy it. El Paseo Jewelers understand that concept and thus offers its customers the utmost selection of one-of-a-kind pieces. Among them: 14K white gold, emerald and diamond earrings containing 2.67 carats of pear-shape emeralds, 1.40 carats of pear- shape diamonds and 1.44 carat total weight of round brilliants surrounding each pear shape and in the center of the earrings. Other red-carpet-worthy designs from this Coachella Valley jeweler include 18K yellow-gold-and-diamond dangle earrings containing 8.36 carat total weight of brilliant color and clarity. Prices are upon request. elpaseojewelers.com For the namedroppers—and the cachet that comes with the names in terms of value—we have Neil Lane, Lorraine Schwartz and Tiffany & Co. For the cutting-edge fashionista looking for the next marquis talent, we suggest visiting high-end art galleries. Jewelry design is an art and many gallery owners give designers space to show their private collections. A Gallery Fine Art, known for exclusivity and for showcasing jewelry with attitude and superb design, is just such a place. Previewing pieces at agalleryfineart.com The awards season and galas are over for most celebrities; however, for the country- club crowd they’ve only just begun. When it comes time to make your entrance, throw your shoulders back, keep your hair out of the way and dazzle the world with your exquisite earrings, all the while remembering that while celebrities only borrow their sparklers, yours are for keeps! ______Françoise Rhodes is a staff writer for Colorado Golf Magazine
