With this issue of Colorado Golf Magazine, we are
proud to feature the historic Solheim Cup. The Solheim
is a truly prestigious stage on which the top women
golfers from the United States and Europe play, and for
2013 that stage is set here in our state. This year, with
Colorado experiencing one of the worst fires in our
history, the Solheim takes on additional importance as a
portion of the tournament’s June ticket sales are being
donated to the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters
Foundation. We hope everyone will make it out to
Colorado Golf Club in Parker to watch the match-play
competition, which takes place the week of Aug. 13.
Colorado has a long, proud history of supporting
women’s golf. In 2011, it was the U. S. Women’s Open,
when we watched So Yeon Ryu defeat Hee Kyung Seo in a
three-hole playoff. In fact, Colorado has played host to the
U.S. Women’s Open several times. And from 1972 to
1986, the Columbia Savings LPGA National Pro-Am was
played here, rotating through many of our great golf
courses, including Green Gables, Rolling Hills, Pinehurst,
Columbine, Lone Tree, Meridian and Glenmoor
Country Club.

The Solheim Cup is one you don’t want to miss. This
international event will certainly be historic and will once
again put Colorado front and center in the world of golf.
To read more, turn to our coverage starting on pg. 12..
Also in this issue, we feature some amazing
restaurants in the Vail and Beaver Creek area. Of course,
Vail and Edwards are also hotbeds for golf. At an altitude
of more than 8,000 feet, golf balls seem to fly forever, but
that’s just one reason to try Colorado’s superb mountain
courses. After your round, you can enjoy some of the
state’s top dining spots, too. Our restaurant coverage
starts on pg. 34, and our feature on Vail Golf Club begins
on pg. 30.
As a publication dedicated to the golf lifestyle, we also
cover fashion, jewelry, luxury automobiles and so much
more. We also continuously update our directories and
club information to keep you abreast of the latest golf
news. We hope you enjoy Colorado Golf Magazine, and
we look forward to seeing you out on the course.

ears. Confusion. Second-guessing. That hot feeling that
creeps up your spine and into your brain, setting your
hair on fire and forcing you to break out in a feverish
sweat; the realization that you’ve just made a massive
and uncorrectable mistake.
Those emotions were rampant amongst the U.S. Team
members when Azahara Munoz dropped Angela Stanford in the
decisive match that handed the Solheim Cup back to the
Europeans at Ireland’s Killeen Castle in September 2011. The 1513 win was the European’s first in four competitions, and sweet
revenge for their repeat captain, Alison Nicholas.
similar soul-crushing sensations while surrounded by the beauty
of Parker’s Colorado Golf Club seems incongruous and
incomprehensible to U.S. players, who have yet to fail in cup
competitions on U.S. soil.
While Munoz’s win was the match that secured the cup for the
Europeans, there were many more ingredients to the mix that
baked the American’s cake. The final day started badly for the U.S.
even before the first ball was struck; Cristie Kerr, who’d played with
an inflamed wrist though the first two days of competition,
determined the pain was too great to play in singles, and her match
was forfeited to Karen Stupples.
European Captain Liselotte Neumann and U.S. Captain Meg Mallon
Alternatively, it stunned the Americans. Despite the 8-8
scorline after two days of competition, the visitors felt they had one
hand on the cup heading into singles matches, believing they had a
clear advantage in the format.
“I think our gals played their hearts out. We couldn’t ask any
more of them,” U.S. Captain Rosie Jones said after the fateful final
day of play. “Europe just played better than us in that last 35
minutes.”
Players draw motivation from all manner of sources, but one
thing is certain. The loss has simmered in the bellies of the
Americans like a smoldering chunk of coal for the last many
months. It’s doubtless that fire, combined with an extreme
aversion to the feelings of defeat generated by the 2011 outcome,
will dominate large portions of their consciousness as they
prepare for the next competition August 16-18. To experience
The Americans were also dealt a stiff setback when Paula
Creamer and Stacy Lewis, two of the team’s top players, lost their
matches to Catriona Matthew and Sophie Gustafson. Matthew
drilled Creamer 6 and 5, while Gustafson defeated Lewis, 2-up.
The U.S. was still in position to win when a second rain delay
gave the Europeans a chance to rally around one another. After a
three-way pep talk, Suzann Pettersen, Caroline Hedwall, and
Munoz each returned to the course and got results from their
matches. Pettersen made three straight birdies to rally for a 1-up
win over Michelle Wie, Hedwall was 2-down with two to play but
came back to halve with Ryann O’Toole, and Munoz erased an
early 1-down deficit to defeat Stanford, 1-up.
Jones took on a boatload of criticism after the tournament for
the handling of the Kerr situation. However, both she and Kerr
defended their positions, saying the injury cropped up just before

because Kerr was not rested the first two
days, playing all four team matches. But both
insisted afterward they wouldn’t have done
anything different if they could do it again.
“I checked with her every single match
to make sure,” said Jones. “Right before,
that was my last thing I did right before I
submitted my pairings was to check on
Cristie, because she was playing in some of
the last matches, to make sure she was
ready to go. She felt good. She played well.”
And with that most recent history, the
competition now comes to Colorado, just a
couple of years after the U.S. Women’s
Open was contested at The Broadmoor
Resort. While the team is still being
determined, U.S. Captain Meg Mallon is
already working with a couple of givens:
she’ll have highly-motivated players, and
she certainly won’t want to wax
philosophically about a second-straight
U.S. defeat.

on and address the pain and swelling
between rounds. Had the injury been
declared prior to the start of play, the U.S.
would have had the opportunity to replace

The latest on golf gear and other products
you simply must have
By Mike Conrad
Let’s face it; golfing in the Colorado can be HOT! First, the
heat doesn’t bother me. Second, I go prepared to stay cool!
As a “Gadget Guy” I am often asked what I pack to keep
cool, and this summer edition of Colorado Golf Magazine is
the perfect time to share my secrets. Some of these items I
keep in my golf bag, some are waiting when I get home.
Chill Skinz
The Chill Skinz is a towel designed to keep you cool. Not only is it
great for golfers, runners, tennis players and any other summer
athlete, it is also great for any hot day. Simply wet the Chill Skinz
with cold water, squeeze out the excess water before you leave
and slip it in your bag. When needed, take the Chill Skinz out,
shake to activate the towel and apply it to the back of your neck
(or other heated areas). When activated, the towel drops to
about 20 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. Check it
out online at chillskinz.com
Cool Off
Another cool product is Cool Off. You can easily store this handy little
wipe in your golf bag, backpack or purse. Its 17 natural herbs help
keep the cool feeling going after the initial application. Whenever
you need a quick chill, simply open the Cool Off pack wipe and feel
the relief. You’ll be amazed at the coolness this tiny package
provides, and the handy size means you can easily fit several of these
in your pocket to last the entire day. For more information on Cool Off,
log on to thequickchill.com
Urburn Sunburn
If you do happen to get burned, you should check out Unburn Sunburn relief.
Heck, that’s just fun to say. Take it from a true Irishman, I know what works on a
sunburn. Unburn is formulated with 2.5 percent lidocaine to provide fast pain
relief (remember the TV show Emergency? Those guys prescribed lidocaine
for almost everything!). Unburn Sunburn relief is made by Water-Jel.

HotGear
Brush on Block
Being Irish, I can get a sunburn under a 100-watt light bulb. I could probably use
SPF 1,000,000 and still get a burn. We all know we should use sunblock, and we
typically spray on gobs and gobs before heading outside in the morning. The
key, however, is what you do later in the day. I found a product called Brush on
Block. This isn’t your normal sunscreen. As a matter of fact, it looks more like a
make-up brush than sunblock and its design is one key to its success. Think
about the times you’ve had sunscreen in your eye, and how much it stings and
burns. With Brush on Block, you brush it on as if you are applying make-up (guys,
just accept this as fact). With the easy-apply brush, you avoid getting sunblock
in your eyes, and the sunblock doesn’t run when you sweat. Since it is made with
minerals, you hardly know you’re wearing sunscreen. Not only is this perfect for
around your face and neck, it’s also a bonus for guys like me with thinning hair—
it easily covers that bald spot! Women can keep Brush on Block in their
handbag, men can slide it in their satchel (Indiana Jones has one) and keep
one in their golf bag as well. That makes it easy to continue applying it
throughout the day as necessary. For all of the SPF facts and mineral
information, go to brushonblock.com
Margaritaville Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker
When it comes to frozen drinks, I’m a loser. The blender never seems to chop the ice right or the beverageto-ice ratio is off. Fortunately, the brainiacs at Margaritaville have made me a better bartender with the
ultimate Margaritaville Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker. While I initially hesitated to call it a frozen
concoction maker (a moniker relating to Jimmy Buffet’s famed song
around which his chain of restaurants and associated products have
been built), there is no way I can call it a mere blender. First, it runs off a
heavy-duty 18-volt NiCd battery, so it shaves ice and perfectly blends
ingredients to create up to 60 restaurant-quality frozen drinks on a single
charge. Its rugged, portable design makes it easy to take poolside, out
on a boat, tailgating or anywhere else you can think of. Here’s how easy
it is to make your favorite frozen beverage: First, place the ice in the top
ice holder; next, mix your favorite beverage in the shatterproof pitcher;
finally, select for one, two or three glasses and hit the button. The
Margaritaville Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker does all the work for
you. It’s powerful, easy to use and so far I have yet to outdrink the
battery! This is a gadget that I have been personally testing every
weekend this summer—and it’s paradise unplugged! To get your own for
your next 19th-hole celebration, visit margaritavillecargo.com
Finally, I want to point out that, although cool, none of these products are a replacement for good
hydration. It’s especially important during the summer that you drink plenty of water throughout the
day. Then, keep the above products on hand to protect you from the sun, cool you in soaring
temperatures or relax you at day’s end. Ahhhh, summer.

N
othing breeds confidence like prior success, but how do
we accomplish this success? All golfers understand the
importance of self-confidence. They must believe in
their ability to meet the challenges of the task at hand
each time they step up to the ball. Confidence, however, changes dayto-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
psychology, most of the research on self-confidence has been based
on Stanford Professor Emeritus Albert Bandura’s theory of selfefficacy, defined as “belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute
the courses of action required to produce given attainments.”
For golfers, there are two elements of the research to consider.
First, there are three types of sport-confidence: cognitive efficiency,
resilience, and physical skills and training. All three of these are
supported by nine sources of sport-confidence: demonstration of
ability, mastery, social support, vicarious experience, coach’s
leadership, situational favorableness, environmental comfort,
physical self-presentation, and physical/mental preparation.
Prior success is directly related to personal mastery and thought
to be the greatest influence on self-confidence. Interestingly, the
research shows striking differences between men and women. Men
ultimately demonstrate higher levels of confidence, as they are more
concerned with physical/mental preparation and winning. Research
suggests that women are more concerned with self-presentation,
environmental comfort and social support than their male
counterparts, as well as personal goals and standards.
Research also consistently shown that solid skills can be
overruled by self-doubts, causing even the most skilled individuals to
perform poorly under circumstances that undermine their belief in
themselves. You’ve seen that happen time and time again to top pros
on Tour.
Important of Practicing Mental Skills
There are numerous factors that contribute to confidence or a
lack of it. Having an understanding of these factors can help you
maintain a positive mindset for performance.
Accomplished golfers attribute great performance to enhanced
mental skills. However, most golfers fail to practice their mental skills
24
ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine • JulyAuGust2013
in the same manner that they practice their physical skills. This could
be due to a lack of motivation or understanding of how to implement
mental practice. Yet mental skills are just as important, or even more
important, to successful performance, and it’s not as hard to practice
them as one might think.
There are two strategies for improving mental skills: imagery and
observational learning.
According to Bandura, “most human behavior is learned by
observation through modeling.” When we are children, this comes
naturally. We “watch and do.” But as we get older, we seem to have a
need to try and cognitively understand what we are trying to
accomplish. This is not always the best method for learning a motor
skill, such as the golf swing.
Can-Do Strategy
Here’s a strategy to try: Identify a professional golfer whose swing
most resembles your desired swing. It could be the tempo or the
style that you wish to model. Naturally, it should be a swing that is
realistic to your abilities, one that you have assessed with your golf
and fitness instructors.
Find a video of your model swing and watch it before you begin
your practice session or your round. Watch the video as often as
possible, especially just prior to executing your swing. Your goal is to
try and visualize the model swing while executing your swing, as
opposed to trying to process verbal or technical information.
The more you practice visualizing your desired swing, the better
you will become at visualizing, and that ultimately should translate
into better performance.

olf resorts may win accolades in a particular area, but
it’s hard to find one with “best” awards across the

commitment to customer care takes golf beyond the usual skyhigh resort expectations. “It’s our mission to deliver the experience
of a lifetime to all guests, whether at the golf course or for a bike or
paddleboat ride,” says Tobias. “Resort staff have that professional
bearing as well as the friendly smile we’re all looking for on our
vacation.”
Keystone Golf is the only 36-hole venue in Summit County.
“We have two completely different golf courses, so close in
proximity they almost touch,” says Tobias. “But you wouldn’t know
it if you were at River teeing up and suddenly transported to Ranch.
That’s how different they are. Our crew takes fantastic care of the
golf courses, providing the best possible playing conditions you can
achieve in the mountains.”
Opened in 1988, Ranch Golf Course is the flagship of Keystone
Golf, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. “It has a unique
personality for mountain golf: mountain links. The Ranch does

have a few elevation changes but they are very subtle. When I go
out to Ranch, I have the feeling of a stress-free atmosphere with
wide-open spaces and 360-degree views of the surrounding
mountain ranges, no matter which hole I’m standing on. It’s what
brings us all to Colorado. It’s a special place with the original
homestead still standing.”
River Golf Course plays through trees with significant elevation
changes. “The first hole is a pretty hefty elevation drop onto the
fairway with a view of the Continental Divide,” he says. “There’s a
transition from the ‘Mountain 9’ front and ‘River 9’ back where the
course lives up to its name wrapping around the Snake River. You
finish up on a Par 5 that overlooks Lake Dillon and Buffalo
Mountain, a great hole. You can reach the green in two, with the
possibility of an eagle or birdie.”
Tobias says, “Golfers, especially first-timers, say the scenery is
fabulous, we have friendly service and how easy it is to book a
teetime. The reservations staff know the entire resort and there is a
golf concierge who specializes in golf packages. Our stay-and-play
packages are second to none. Nothing can compete with our level of
lodging: hotels to condos and private homes.” Managed by Vail
Resorts, Keystone’s golf packages include accommodations from
Keystone Lodge to luxury properties in Breckenridge and Vail. The
resort also hosts golf events, weddings and conferences. “We have
the largest conference center in the mountains, plus the best
lodging, spa, two golf courses and outdoor activities. We have it all.”
This season, Ranch course forward tees have been adjusted to
play at 4,600 yards, shortened from last year’s 5,500. “We do a great
job of accommodating all abilities and experience levels,” says Tobias.
“We brought in junior tees that play from the fairways. You’d have a
hard time finding holes more than 155 yards for a Par 5.”
A newly remodeled clubhouse awaits golfers in 2013. “It’s
beautiful,” says Tobias. “I have a feeling repeat guests who walk
28
ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine • JulyAuGust2013
through the door won’t recognize it.” Instructional programs
include SNAG (Starting New at Golf), focusing heavily on kids and
introducing golf as a family activity. “It’s a kind of miniature golf on
steroids,” says Tobias, using irons, putters and a pseudo tennis ball.
A six-hole course for all ages opens this season, winding around the
practice facility. The resort hosts a women-specific golf day on Aug.
21 featuring LPGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez. For complete

P
laying golf at friendly, ultra-scenic Vail
Golf Club is more than just a walk in
the park. Golfers are clued in to the
venue’s mindset when they call for a
teetime—the phone greeting immediately
cites a pace-of-play goal for the day. The staff is
dedicated to providing a thoroughly fun
experience for golfers, and it begins with time
management.
“We have a unique pace-of-play program in
its fourth year of implementation,” says
Director of Golf Alice Plain. “We’re a busy
course and prior to the program, five-hour
rounds were pretty regular. We hired a
consultant who observed what we did for four
days. It is a complex problem.” The result? “We
actively monitor the course, we explain our
expectations to guests on the first tee, and we
have a marshal on the front and on the back
with clocks to help golfers with self-monitoring.
With the program, we’ve improved a minimum
of 45 minutes, so we’re doing something right.
Most people are time-conscious and we’re on
the cutting edge to resolve the issue.”
Ben Krueger designed the course that runs
alongside I-70 and is just over 7,000 yards from

the tips, a Par 71. “More than half the
course is played looking up at Gore Range,
including the driving range,” says Plain.
32
ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine • JulyAuGust2013
“Even when it’s 70 degrees, you can be
looking at snow. The views are
unmatched—you’ll even see bighorn
sheep on the hillside—and so is the value.
It’s a memorable golf course laid out so it’s
playable.
“Because we’re managed by Vail
Recreation, we promote health and
wellness, and we do promote walking the
course,” says Plain. “It was built in 1962
with small elevation changes—unique
compared to new courses—and it’s just a
short distance from greens to tees.”
Customer service is paramount. “I’m
very selective in who I hire to work here,”
says Plain. “Our staff does a great job
making guests feel comfortable and at
home. We’re public and have a lot of
regulars, but we treat everyone like they’re
a member of a private club, and try to
exceed everyone’s expectations to give
them an experience they’ll remember. The
atmosphere is fun-loving and genuinely
friendly.”
Instructional programs in place for
2013 are geared toward both Vail Valley
residents and visitors alike, and include a
variety of junior programs and even
overnight camps. Plain created a program,
new this year, especially for girls ages 13-17.
Adults can participate in a weekly couples
clinic on Friday evenings that includes
instruction along with drinks and
appetizers on the driving range, and a new
weekly women’s clinic called Lessons,
Ladies and Libations. A weekly threeperson “play with a pro” class happens on
Monday evenings, and brand-new golfers
can participate in the PGA’s national Get
Golf Ready program: three days of
instruction for $99. Happy Valley Grill is
open daily for lunch onsite with Chef
Hunter Smith at the helm—he’s a former
Food Network “Iron Chef America”
participant.
Plain was honored this year as the first
woman to win the PGA West Chapter’s
Bill Strausbaugh Award that began with a
nomination by her peers for her success
mentoring young PGA professionals. For

Y
ou are on a trip to the Roaring Fork Valley and want to play golf? Good luck!
Demand in this corner of Colorado is higher than Mt. Sopris, and you’re likely
to spot more celebrities than tee times. But we’ll let you in on a little secret:
River Valley Ranch is not a private club. You can play it. And you should.
Last August, a group of investors, led by Dale Rands, bought the course for $1.2
million. Over the past several months, they’ve invested nearly $2 million in
renovations and upgrades, with the result that the course is now immaculate and open
for play.
“We’re creating a gathering place for everyone in the valley to enjoy,” says Rands.
“Our team knows what makes for a good experience.”
In addition to Rands, the team consists of Dave Alvarez and Alden Richards, who
direct the golf operation, along with Chris Norvell and Josh Staskauskus who oversee
Hattie Thompson, the ranch’s restaurant. Norvell, owner of Epicurious Catering, and
Staskauskus, formerly of Aspen’s Montagna restaurant, have been guiding a total
renovation of the kitchen and dining space, including converting the former patio into
an eating area that perfectly frames the spectacular scenery just outside.
Mt. Sopris stands with its twin peaks keeping watch over every shot played at
RVR. The Crystal River runs pristinely through the course and comes into play on
seven holes. Opened in 1996, the par-72 layout designed by Jay Moorish is at once
JulyAuGust2013 • ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine
39
PlayWorthy
playable and challenging. You don’t have to be a bomber to enjoy
the shot-making possibilities; generous fairways invite riskreward decisions.
The par-3 third hole is quintessential River Valley Ranch. From
the tips it plays 224 yards and bunkers guard the left. Hit long right
and you’re lost, hit long left and you’re in the drink. A precise shot or
a bailout short right are your options. Choose wisely.
RVR reopened for play on April 5th, and the team here knows
what you want whether you come from out of town or just down
the street. GPS on every cart makes finding yardages simple and
play enjoyable. Richards was the longtime director of junior golf in
Aspen and he brings that experience to the table. Alvarez, an
accomplished teacher and player, was formerly director at the Jim
McLean Golf School at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif.
“This is sent from above,” Richards says. “Right on the Crystal
River, 29 miles from Aspen. It’s a dream come true.”
You don’t want to get caught dreaming on the 623-yard par 5 at
No. 17. Forget reaching this one in two and focus on your approach
shot. But go ahead and start thinking about after-round appetizers
as you finish up on an inviting final hole that doglegs left.
The Hattie Thompson restaurant will offer continental and
American fare created by chef Phil House, who was executive chef
at Merry Go ‘Round in Aspen Highlands for years before coming
over to RVR. With a daily happy hour and floor-to-ceiling windows
overlooking the course, you can’t go wrong stopping by for drinks
after golf or staying for dinner and making an evening out of it.
“It’s all about the team,” says Rands. “Together we have the golf
side and the hospitality side covered. We’ve worked hard to
upgrade every aspect of the course since we took over.”

And they have succeeded. So if you’re scrambling to find a place
to play between wetting your fly line and getting back on your
bike, the first place to look is River Valley Ranch. You’ll find a course
in immaculate condition and a team that delivers exactly what you
want: a terrific experience.
So stop celebrity watching and go birdie hunting at RVR.

T
he sun is rising over the dramatic red rocks of the Golf
Club at Ravenna. It’s a new dawn – and the view has been
worth the wait. The 634-acre private enclave located
south of Littleton is enjoying new life, after the economic
downturn temporarily slowed home construction in the Denver
metropolitan area. Real estate inquiries are now skyrocketing, the
Jay Morrish-designed golf course is in prime condition, and
members enjoy lively gatherings, feeling lucky they got in early.
River Canyon Real Estate created the original vision for
Ravenna after the turn of the millennium, and made it reality in
“Our mission is to be mindful of what nature has given us and to
uncover, respectfully, the golf course that lies within,” Morris wrote
in his initial notes upon seeing the property.
Elevation changes are first found on the second hole - a monster
par 5 that requires three solid shots to reach the green. It starts the
ride between challenging par 3s and risk/reward par 4s, all of which
put a premium on club selection.
The back nine shoots up, then down, over deep ravines and
seemingly calm ponds, with holes named Double Cross, and the
Rock. The finishing par-5 18th is the longest on the course. The
2007 with the opening of the course and 243 custom home lots.
Situated on a unique piece of property embraced within Waterton
Canyon and adjacent to Pike National Forest, the gated
community provides owners their own piece of pioneered land. It’s
one of the last developments with uninterrupted views of the
Denver skyline, the Dakota Hogback, forests and wildlife.
“We knew we had something special when we first discovered
it,” says owner Glenn Jacks, whose eyes still alight at Ravenna’s
future. “In a nearly built-out and still growing town, to find virgin
land is an anomaly. Our passion for embracing and protecting the
natural environment helped us shape its mission.”
It all began with a name that recalls Old-World Italy, with its
concrete tile roofs, colorful mosaics, stucco and native wood. The
palate ranges from sedate earth tones to vibrant burnt sienna, grass
green to ocean blue. Outdoor patios and terraces take advantage of
the afternoon sun by day, and provide the warmth of built-in fire
pits by night. This might not feel like Denver at all, if the skyscrapers of the
city weren’t easily seen from the back nine of what might be
Morrish’s last creation. If it is his swan song, then he didn’t skimp on
drama, as fairways rock and roll through craggy outcroppings,
native pines and carefully placed water features. JulyAuGust2013 • ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine

design strategy helped it earn “Best New Course” by Golf Digest
and Golfweek upon opening in 2006 and a top-50 “Best
Residential Courses” ranking by Golfweek. In all, six sets of tees grace the par-71 layout, ranging from 5,009
to 7,263 yards. An extensive practice facility includes a 315-yard
driving range with seven target bunkers, a large two-tier putting
green and short-game area with three practice bunkers. Club
operations are managed by Billy Casper Golf, the largest domestic
golf course operator. The clubhouse offers excellent views, with 60 feet of glazed
windows to perfectly frame the Front Range. The Pro Shop,
member dining and event space can be found here – a nice place to
relax after a great round.

ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine • JulyAuGust2013
The vision will only continue to unfold in the next few years, as a
private casting club, vintners club, pool and tennis facilities are built.
Jacks wanted it that way – as a place you’d rarely want to leave.
Home Sites – 166 – start in the mid $200,000s and are being
sold at a fast clip. Over 30 lots are under contract or reserved.
Custom built homes start at 1.1 million. Some of Denver’s mostrevered builders have staked a claim here, showcasing hand-laid tile,
knotty alder cabinetry, cedar-lined closets and vaulted ceilings.!
Fuller Sotheby’s International is the official broker, with current
listings provided at ravennare.com.
Home ownership is a not a requirement for membership, but
provides the best access to club activities that are scheduled

ou could pull three Gs in an F-16
fighter jet and leave the canopy
down and still not have the full
experience of freedom and
power you get from Bentley’s new 2014
Continental GTC Speed Convertible.
Long name, muscle to match.
Bentley isn’t known as a sports-car
maker, so it comes as no surprise that the
Speed Convertible isn’t a nimble king of
cornering. But you’ll be surprised when
you experience the new suspension
Bentley engineered to make the GTC
Speed at least handle like a member of the
industry royal family. With the suspension
lowered nearly half an inch and the frame
stiffened, plenty of feel transfers to a
relatively light steering column.
As for the soft top , it’s as good as any—
ever. Quiet, dry and easy to retract, it
delivers. With the top up, you’ll have
virtually the same experience as a hardtop.
With the top down, you’ll have no problem
at speeds in excess of 150 mph. The design
of the GTC Speed makes driving with the
top down as comfortable as it can be,
meaning low wind noise and all the
comfort without the confinement of a roof.
It would be easy to overlook the GTC
Speed in the category of muscle. Sure,

Bentley’s always been big, but the GTC
Speed takes it to a new level. This is one of
the fastest production cars ever made.
The 12-cylinder, W-12 is both massive
and efficient. The twin-turbo takes a giant
leap up from the base model V-8. The luxury
wrapper is deceptive, but inside are 616
horses ready to gallop. That kind of power is
rare. In less than 10 seconds you’ll find
yourself eclipsing 100 mph with enough
room in the pedal for another hundred and
then some. The 0-60 time? A blink over 4
seconds. Those are high-performance
numbers on a 5,000-pound body.
Gas mileage isn’t bad either. At cruising
speed, you’ll get around 20 miles per
gallon. Of course in the mountains or
pushing it hard, you’ll see less as the turbos
kick in and start to growl. But oh, the sound
of the growl! Choosing the just the right
driving mode for your mood may be the
most difficult decision with the GTC
Speed. In sport mode, you’ll find the bass
note in the soundtrack instills a sense of
aggression. As the speed increases, the
rumble turns to a war cry.

counterpart that is the interior. That foil is

center. Thoughtful add-ons like a neck
heater make it possible to drive with the
top down year-round.
And while you won’t find this on the
spec sheet, the Bentley Continental GTC
Speed turns heads. The pronounced and
familiar B embedded prominently on the
grill has deep meaning; the GTC sports
nearly a century of history as a model.
Bentley represents the most extreme in
luxury and performance. Driving one says,
“You get it.”
At a base price of $240,000, the GTC
Speed isn’t an impulse buy for most. But
hey, it’s much less expensive than an F-16.

What’s your pleasure? You can truly have it
your way by customizing nearly
everything in the vehicle. From leather
suppleness to seatbelt fabric, it’s truly your

manufacturing is the leading edge of the
high-end market.
Summer won’t be here forever. The
GTC is also great for a winter trip to Tahoe
with its all-wheel drive. The 8-speed
transmission is at its best when it’s
unnoticed. You’ll hardly realize you’re
changing gears. Of course, you can
manually shift with paddles on the steering
wheel, but you’ll never do it better than the
computer.
“Seamless” is so overused, but it
perfectly describes the bodylines on the

onlookers that you aren’t in a hurry unless

P
erhaps you’ve waited just a bit too long to hit the gym before
the swimwear season begins. Not to worry. By finding the
swimsuit that works with your body type and gives you
confidence to drop the wrap and soak up the sun, you can
save the post-traumatic stress for next year
The 2013 summer swimwear trends run the gamut from itsybitsy bikinis to vintage suits. But before we talk colors, you should
know that it’s the style that’s going to garner you admirable glances.
In the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe had every woman clamoring to
purchase the same style of swimsuit she wore in that famous picture
seen around the world. That style is now called vintage, and vintage
swimwear is back. The key elements of these suits are shaping and
support, perfect for the curvaceous gal who’ll look feminine and sexy
at the same time. Today’s vintage styles offer exactly the right amount
of support without looking like a girdle, and they’re fun to wear.
Also trending are mismatched bikini tops and bottoms. Matchymatchy is out in both color and style. Try a bandeau on the top with a
high-waisted bottom that will flaunt any curvy shape while
highlighting legs and giving them the illusion of length—always a plus.
Monokinis? These are fabulous bathing suits that take the onepiece to daring levels with sexy cutouts. This is one of the hottest
trends on the beach and offered by designer labels including Ralph
Lauren, Coco Rave and Bleu by Rod Beattie. With cutouts on the
sides, the monokini looks like a string bikini from the back while
modestly covering up the tummy in front. The great thing is that
these suits give women a choice in coverage. Designers offer pieces
with moderate to full bottom coverage, and cutouts are strategically
placed to allow you to cover the areas you want covered while
allowing you to flaunt those you can’t wait to show off.
If being the ultimate girly-girl on the beach is for you, then it’s all
about bows, ruffles and fringe. Strategic placement comes into play in
these suits, too. Design elements can hide a lot; however, before
buying, take a good look in the mirror to make sure the adornments
don’t enhance the problem areas you’re trying to minimize.
Let’s not forget crochet suits, a trend that emerged in Brazil during
Sao Paulo’s fashion week. This suit works beautifully on its own and as
part of the mismatch look—a crochet top with a non-crochet bottom,
for example. Crochet monokinis are also all the rage this summer,
available in a variety of solid colors.
When it comes to the hottest patterns and colors, it would be
easier to say what isn’t in. Whether it’s a one- or two-piece swimsuit,
stripes are hot. For a more slimming appearance, go with vertical. If
you want to look larger (as in the bust area), opt for wide horizontal
stripes. Black and white is always safe, but bright and colorful tend to
get the beach party started.
Wild animal beading continues to be popular, along with shades of
copper—an ideal color for less-than-tan bodies. And every designer
this season is going floral, from the sweet and flirty look to eyecatching tropical prints that add exotic flare. Digital prints are also all
the rage. This year’s most popular variations include soft floras,
cityscapes and abstract patterns—plenty of options to show off your
individuality.
Summer is meant to be fun so forget the annual swimsuit stress.
Choose the suit that enhances your best assets, minimizes what you
don’t want noticed and allows you to express the woman you are.
Choose correctly and, regardless of your particular body type, you’ll
be the hottest girl on the beach or by the pool!

bracelet and pendants, priced from $200 to $980. All of the
proceeds go to the AugustHeart program, which Dore and Bart
Koontz launched after the loss of their son to an undiagnosed heart
condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The mission of the
program is to make participation in sports safe for high school
students by providing free heart screenings to detect potentially
life-threatening conditions. augustHeart.org
Els For Autism is the organization Hall-of-Fame golfer Ernie Els
founded in honor of his son, who was diagnosed with the disorder.
Luxury watchmaker Breitling has created 88 numbered, limitededition timepieces to benefit the foundation; they’re based on
Breitling’s exceptional Chronomat 44 watch and feature a Caliber
01. The timepiece is available at Roberto Coin stores
(roberetocoin.com), and 20 percent of the proceeds will be
donated to Els’ foundation, which is dedicated to helping children
affected by Breitautism.elsforautism.com
If you are still in the mood to help heal lives by buying and
wearing jewelry, designer Joan Hornig might have just the right
piece for you. “Philanthropy is beautiful” is the motto Hornig lives
by. In the 1980s, she started designing jewelry for herself, but a
partnership with Bergdorf Goodman allowed her to bring her
designs to the masses. By 2003, Hornig’s jewelry was helping to
support more than 500 charitable organizations around the world
by giving 100 percent of the profits from each purchase to the
buyer’s charity of choice. If your favorite charity is not on the list,
simply add it. joanhornig.com
From bracelets for men and rings for women to necklaces and
bangles for young ladies, purchasing jewelry has been elevated to a
whole new level—the level of healing.

Champions Tour rookie Esteban Toledo won for his first time
in nine starts on the Champions Tour at the Insperity
Championship in May. He followed that up with a third-place
finish in the Regions Tradition. The Castle Rock resident has earned
nearly $660,000 in 2013.
Steve Jones finished 20th at the Insperity Championship. Mark
Wiebe hasn’t missed a cut in 2013 through 11 starts.
Bill Loeffler of Castle Rock and Doug Rohrbaugh of
Carbondale qualified for the U.S. Senior Open placing first and
second respectively at the Broadmoor in mid June.
On the LPGA, the Solheim Cup points race is all the rage with
majors earning double the points. Currently, no Colorado Golfer is
in contention but a win could catapult any player onto the team
potentially. Stephanie Sherlock, a Denver University graduate has
three made cuts under belt in 2013. She is the highest ranking
Colorado golfer on the money list at 124th. She finished 49th at
the Kida Classic in March.
