13 oncover Known globally as a successful businessman, Jon Huntsman, Sr., served as special assistant to President Richard Nixon and is recognized as one of the nation s most generous philanthropists. His new resort community in Driggs, Idaho, is made up of top-notch golf, distinctive homes and superb amenities with the majestic Grand Tetons as a stunning backdrop. No surprise, Huntsman Springs is already winning national acclaim you would expect that with the Huntsman name and solid financial backing. Talk to anyone involved with the project, and it s all about quality and a long-term commitment. For five-time cancer survivor Jon Huntsman, it s personal. All profits are going to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City is known as having the highest quality in the world with superior research facilities, says Huntsman. Anything we ve done as a family is done with quality and a generous human context. With Huntsman Springs I thought long and hard, and wanted to attach our name and spend decades building a major resort and family recreational area. Huntsman Springs will offer a spectrum of relaxing, top-notch enticements, all designed to make memories. We have beautiful homes, similar to Jackson Hole (on the east side of the Grand Tetons, just 45 minutes away), but less expensive, he says. Huntsman Springs is the perfect family outing, without the turmoil and traffic of Jackson. We ve built it so you can walk into Driggs with lovely stores and fun restaurants it s a vacation spot for the future. Huntsman Springs will be a less tourist-oriented place with activities for families to enjoy. Eight lakes on the property are filled with rainbow trout for a catch-and-release experience, and residents can take a wilderness walk on the world s longest boardwalk through the 500-acre protected wetlands area, go horseback riding or head to nearby Grand Targhee ski resort just 12 miles away. Classes offered at Huntsman Springs include photography, cooking, wine tasting and painting, along with fitness-focused yoga, Pilates, water aerobics and a hiking club. The Huntsmans are moving a collection of classic MArChApril2011 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine 13

I told David McLay Kidd before the recession to leave no stone unturned to make it the finest course in America, a destination place for golfers intrigued by the uniqueness of Bandon Dunes (Oregon)...but superior even to that course, says Huntsman. Even though we had to build it through the recession, we did not cut corners and gave Mr. Kidd all the resources to put in one of the greatest courses in the world. It is a remarkable golf course, one that will be remembered for many years. David Huntsman, Jon s son and the community s CEO, says, Our initial concern about not being from a golf background was unfounded as we relied on David Kidd and his team, who promised to give us something that would stand the test of time and be interesting 10 to 20 years from now. He delivered on his promise and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Golf Course Architect David McLay Kidd 14 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine MArChApril2011

15 oncover Temporary Clubshouse The course is already on national best lists, even though its official opening was just last July. It s amazing and one of a kind, truly jaw dropping, says Operations Manager Tony Snoey. Fescue grows knee-high and transitions throughout the summer from reddish-purple to golden. [The course] makes you think on every shot with 153 bunkers and water of some form on 15 of 18 holes. The layout plays from 5,400 to 7,300 yards and retains a natural Scottishlinks look, but there are trees in the surrounding wetlands and native areas. Greens can be a massive 10,000 square feet. It s a big valley, so big, so massive you stand there and feel so small but one with nature. Big, wide fairways and big greens fit. Small course features would look out of place. Snoey says guests playing the course for the first time have extended their stay at Huntsman Springs in order to play it again, telling him, That was the most fun I ve ever had on a golf course. While a mountain-golf season can be dictated by weather, daily play here can extend past 9 p.m. Even with its 18 signature holes design, there are some don t-miss experiences. No.1 is everything the course offers with water, bunkers and vistas, with an opening tee shot people remember, says Snoey. No. 15 s green is 80 yards long from front to back, and No. 18 is a drivable Par 4 that can upset your bets with your buddies. Snoey credits superintendent Guy Johnson with course conditioning that is second-to-none. Huntsman Springs is a great place not only to come and visit but to make home, David says. Homes currently represent a second or third residence for most members, fulfilling the vision of a cherished, extended mountain-getaway experience. Home sites up to threequarters of an acre start at $295,000, and 23 homes have been built with a comfortable, upscale-rustic look and some are still available to buy. Designed by award-winning architect Larry Berlin, houses range from 2,450 to 5,300 square feet and offer assorted gorgeous views of the golf course, water and mountains. Built to the highest standards, the homes feature hardwood f loors and granite counters, heated-tile bathrooms and highest-quality kitchen appliances. Members aren t subjected to added fees. It s the club of the future, says Snoey. Golf lessons are complimentary and unlimited. We don t charge cart, locker or storage fees, and members have the ability to leave (without penalty) at any time. Adult children of members can stay connected to the club through our Legacy Membership. We want to keep generations together. The Huntsmans have reached out to be a part of Driggs, providing the county with a new courthouse on the Huntsman Springs property, plus eight parks throughout the town. The 1,350-acre resort remains fenceless, an easy five-minute walk to downtown. MArChApril2011 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine 15

16 oncover James Kidd, Jon Huntsman, Karen Huntsman, David McLay Kidd and David Huntsman We re not the normal developer...not developers at all, says David. It s not something we normally do. But we fell in love with the community and the valley. Jon, Sr., was born in Blackfoot, Idaho. He s a farm boy through and through. You ll find him on the Teton River, fishing for rainbow trout. Huntsman Springs has become the Huntsman family s home away from home, notes David. It s a hands-on family project. All the decisions on Huntsman Springs are family: my mother, father and me. Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole resort are all located within a short drive, and the private airport just a quarter-mile down from Huntsman Springs offers easy resort access year-round. Driggs sports a super-deluxe grocery store with fresh sushi, plus a corner drugstore churning out oldfashioned milkshakes and a renowned lime-freeze. Snoey says, Conversations with total strangers can happen in stores, the post office and restaurants. That doesn t happen anywhere else. David sums up: This isn t a project we ve taken on because we need the money or have a profit expectation. My father announced publicly that all income would go toward cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Our motives are different we make sure our commitment is to the community and giving back to mankind, making society a better place.

19 Spotlight Barney Adams graduated Clarkson University in 1962 with a management degree. The goal, Adams says, was engineering, but I quickly learned that my academic preparation was inadequate and I had neither the skills nor the desire to fight my way through engineering school. Ironically, Adams then worked at Corning Glass for eight years in a variety of engineering positions, also taking advanced course work in statistical analysis at the University of Michigan and management at Stanford. His primary experience at Corning was working as a field engineer stationed in manufacturing facilities. In 1986 Adams went out on his own. For eleven years he labored in obscurity. He collected six patents on golf products, making fine equipment with no sales. He wrote articles for golf magazines, gave seminars and somehow kept the company alive. Everything changed in 1996 when he invented the Tight Lies fairway wood. Working as a custom fitter, he responded to his customers who repeatedly asked for a club they could play from long iron distance, yards to the green. Adams knew the technical secret was to lower the center of gravity. He did this by designing the traditional head shape upside down, which not only lowered the center of gravity but increased the hitting surface. As uneventful as the first eleven years were, the period from 1996 to 1999 more than evened the cycle. Sales were $1million in 1995, $85 million in 1998 and included two placements on the Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Small Companies, the Industry Week Top 25 Award for Growing Manufacturing Companies, several golf industry awards and, in July 1998, the largest IPO in the history of the golf industry. When you re a field engineer the issue is performance and you are right there. Working on the driving range custom fitting golfers is the same environment; performance is the issue, Adams says. Adams left Corning in 1970 and ended up in California as an independent sales representative. It was the beginning of my entrepreneurial life, I wanted to be on my own, he recalls. From there he was recruited into a small manufacturing company with serious management issues, which launched a new career phase: moving into small companies with problems to fix. Ultimately, he ended up in the Silicon Valley specializing in the semiconductor industry. Then in 1983 he was recruited to Abilene, Texas, to help an old friend, Dave Pelz, with his struggling golf equipment company. Unequivocally, I failed, Adams says. We moved the company forward but the downward cycle of the oil industry destroyed our financing. The company was sold at auction by its bank and Adams purchased the assets in1986. One thing my full-time experience in golf taught me was that I loved being in the business, he says. I d always played, dating back to caddying around 1950, but as hard as I worked at Pelz and as poor as the results were, I knew I had a passion for the golf business. Where is the company today? Let s just say that my early years prepared me for reality, Adams says. Shortly after our offering, we released a quarter with record sales, earnings exceeding all estimates. Our stock dropped by more than half as the golf industry was reported as being in a down cycle. Today, the company is building momentum through its emphasis on R&D and continues to introduce innovative products including the Idea irons, a line of hybrid irons. We will continue to strive for innovative equipment that makes the game more fun for today s golfer. We believe this focus will help us grow our great company and improve shareholder value.

21 playworthy Carved out of the striking desert terrain in the canyons of Mesquite, Nev., Wolf Creek Golf Club stands out for its spectacular setting. The par-72, 18-hole golf course opened in 2000, and its lush fairways and stunning layout have already earned it high rankings, including No. 8 best quality public course in the U.S. and No. 21 America s Greatest Public Golf Courses. It s not just the awe-inspiring natural setting that attracts golfers; it s also the world-class customer service. We really cater to the customers. It s about how we can make your day of golf great, says Cory Clemetson, co-owner of Wolf Creek Golf Club. We re focused on creating Nevada s ultimate golf experience. Indeed, Clemetson has done a fine job of creating just that. Wolf Creek was the only golf course from the State of Nevada to be featured in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 game, and continues to be featured in the PGA Tour 11 game. Located just 77 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, Mesquite is easy to get to, and there s every reason to stay. Wolf Creek has partnered with nearby Eureka Casino Resort to offer a package that includes all-you-can-play golf for two days along with two nights at the casino/hotel. The course also has specials and hot times on its website, golfwolfcreek.com/hottimes, for last-minute deals. A special for readers of Colorado Golf Magazine and Desert Golf Magazine is an extra $10 savings off the hot-times deal by entering code CO10. Greens fees range from $55 to $195 depending on the season, and the course has new Callaway Octane woods and Razr X irons available to rent for $55. Villanos notes that the Mesquite golf destination is an exceptional value, with savings of up to 40 percent compared to other resort destinations in the country. Clemetson and his brother, Chad, purchased the public golf course in 2003 and they pride themselves on a management We re thrilled and honored to have our course featured in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, said Clemetson at the time. We re absolutely delighted to be selected as the only course from the State of Nevada in the game, since there are so many top-tier courses here. This clearly positions Wolf Creek as the top golf course in the State of Nevada. In the EA Sports PGA Tour game, players can experience what it s like to tee off on some of the course s signature holes, such as No. 2, perched 11 stories above the fairway with stunning views. The game has enabled golfers from all over the world to experience the virtual version of Wolf Creek, and many then f ly into Las Vegas to experience the real thing. The game has been great exposure for us, but it s even better to be able to experience the course firsthand, says Wolf Creek General Manager, Joel Villanos. overhaul that has completely set the course apart as one that provides unparalleled service. Many of our customers regularly golf at high-end golf clubs, and so we wanted to make sure we provide a first-class experience, says Clemetson, who notes his staff is focused on exceeding expectations and truly catering to every need. In addition to new superior service standards, Villanos adds that they are refurbishing many of the bunkers and have better maintained the beautiful greens. The bunkers are now an Augusta white sand, a beautiful contrast to the desert landscaping, he says. We continue to maintain the course to the highest possible quality. There is water play on more than half of the holes, with manmade Wolf Creek winding through much of the course. Clemetson s favorite signature hole is No. 14, for the sheer beauty of the spectacular views. MArChApril2011 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine 21

25 hotgear Custom club fitting has long been a vital step for golfers of all levels who want to improve. However, ball fitting is just as vital for golfers who want to maximize distance and accuracy while enjoying consistent results on and around the greens. In the hyper-competitive golf-ball market, it s tough to find a company that s taking ball fitting more seriously than Bridgestone. In addition to its online ball-fitting module, the Georgia-based company offers online chat with a Bridgestone technician, plus the Bridgestone Challenge, a series of live events around the country at which golfers can compare their current ball to the corresponding Bridgestone model. The fittings take place using Bridgestone s Science Eye Launch Monitor. As of early 2011, Bridgestone was closing in on 100,000 golf-ball fittings through its Bridgestone Challenge. A Bridgestone technician, using data from ball-launch monitors, confirms if a Challenge participant is...playing the best ball and recommends a Bridgestone ball that can help him or her improve. The golfer tries the recommended ball. After the fitting, Bridgestone technicians provide data comparing launch angle, spin rates and distance. The Top Earner on the PGA Tour in 2010 Played Bridgestone Other golf ball companies may have a longer list of touring professionals under contract, but Bridgestone s list of pros is extremely impressive, headlined by Matt Kuchar, who won the Vardon Trophy in 2010 as the top money winner on the PGA Tour. Fred Couples, Brandt Snedeker, Lee Trevino, Nick Price and the always-smiling and effervescent Shigeki Maruyama, are part of How the Bridgestone Challenge Works The company believes the Bridgestone Challenge is one of the many reasons it experienced an increase of more than 50 percent in on- and off-course golf-ball dollar share. Currently, one in every ten golf balls sold in the United States is a Bridgestone. Ball fitting has been the single largest factor in our growth as it has opened many doors for us where we were previously shut out, says Dan Murphy, Bridgestone Golf vice president of marketing. In 2011, Bridgestone plans to have 25 teams of ball-fitting technicians touring the country helping golfers get the most from their game. It s easy to see why golfers like the program. Using a driver, golfers hit a series of shots with their current golf ball. Team Bridgestone. A recent addition is Ryder Cup captain and 20-time PGA Tour winner, Davis Love III. Two factors convinced Love to consider Bridgestone. The first was his long-time friendship with Freddy Couples who has been competing successfully with Bridgestone balls for several years. The second was the ball fitting. I have been playing golf a long time, Love stated, yet, even after all these years, I found the Bridgestone ball-fitting process to be tremendously revealing for me. I am confident that the new B330-S matches my swing properties as I picked up more distance off the tee just by switching to it. MArChApril2011 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine 25

26 hotgear A Strong Selection Balls and Colors Bridgestone golf offers three types of ball: for the serious player, the value-oriented player and for recreational golfers. The company uniquely markets four professional-caliber golf balls as part of its B330 family. The TOUR B330 and TOUR B330- S are for golfers with swing speeds above 105 m.p.h. The S model offers slightly higher spin. The TOUR B330-RX and TOUR B330- RXS provide professional ball construction for more typical swing speeds under 105 m.p.h. The TOUR B330-RXS offers additional spin and better workability. The B330 family is designed with seamless cover construction for predictable f light. The TOUR B330 and TOUR B330-S are comparable to the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x respectively, but Bridgestone is currently the only company offering professional-caliber balls for golfers with normal slower swing speeds. Bridgestone has experienced significant success with its e series, comprised of the e5, e6 and e7. This family of golf balls melds significant technology (including seamless covers) with mid-range pricing. The e5 helps golfers who need additional height. The e6 helps remove distance-draining sidespin for a straighter ball flight and the e7 has a slightly lower trajectory for golfers who feel they hit the ball too high. For the recreational golfer looking for additional distance, Bridgestone s new xfixx provides the same seamless cover technology as the top Bridgestone balls plus a soft feel. Golfers looking for some additional color in their life should seriously consider the Bridgestone e6 and the Bridgestone B330- RX, which come in white, optic yellow and optic orange. With a strong lineup of golf balls, some of the top players in the game on their roster and the ball-fitting train rolling through the land, it looks like more golfers are going to use Bridgestone and enjoy lower scores.

29 Spotlight Ian Poulter radiates enthusiasm about sport, fashion and his charities. He is passionate on and off the course.

Currently ranked 11th in the world, ago, I started my dream, designing my own clothes and establishing the brand IJP. I was in New Orleans, sketching bits on letterheads and coasters until I finally got it right. I m not a full designer, I did do a design course in school. Poulter quit school early at age 15 as he needed money, but he clearly has natural talent. Tartans are huge, he says. We burst onto the scene with them, they are bold. They reinforce my Lead with the Legs motto. We do three different colored tartans and change the colors twice a year for each collection. My girls with the design team choose the color palette, and then we build. Great fun. I love the challenge of business. Not only will he be mounting a tough defense of his title in Tucson, Poulter will also be pursuing his passions, leading with the legs and making a fashion statement, colorful and exciting as always. Susanne Kemper is a contributing writer to Colorado Golf Magazine Poulter s 2011 focus will be winning a major, ideally the Masters where he was in early contention last year. I will really prepare for the majors properly, get fit, my game ready and be fresh, Poulter says. But what will he be wearing? Remember his 2004 Masters debut where he wowed the crowds with his pink pants? I love pink, Poulter enthuses. Always my favorite color, so versatile, so many shades. The 35-year-old plans to take two weeks off before defending his Accenture Match Play title. I want to keep moving forward into the world s top five this year, at least, he says. Tucson is a good course for me, for my game. Kicking off 2011, Pouls invited all his fans to choose his outfit for his Match Play defense, via Twitter (IanJamesPoulter).

45 TheGoodlife According to the Golf Research Group, which tracks the industry, golf-course homes are three times as valuable as the average U.S. home. Golf-course living definitely has its advantages. A study by the Longitudes Group also found that golf properties hold their value more than other real estate, even in the same zip code. Lot values on golf courses have a 40-percent premium over other lots in the neighborhood, said Sara Killeen of the Longitudes Group. Even when a market is really getting hammered, people will find a golf-course home more appealing than a non-golf home. A golf home is going to out-perform a non-golf home almost every time. create a spectacular old west feel. This area is a recreation paradise. Whether you love horseback riding, hiking, sightseeing, mountain climbing or skiing you can find it here. Nearby Trinidad Lake is a favorite spot for boating, fishing and water sports. And downtown Trinidad, sometimes called the Victorian Jewel of Southern Colorado, has grown into a cultural and arts hub. Walking down Main Street visitors find painters, sculptors, musicians and other artists who have discovered a high quality of life in a spectacular yet affordable setting. Cougar Canyon is slated to have a myriad of amenities, everything one would expect in a resort community from excellent dining to a wonderful spa. There s a community recreation center that features fitness facilities, swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, volleyball courts and sprawling lawns for croquet and casual picnics.

Many obvious factors contribute to the higher numbers for golf-course properties, including a beautifully manicured park-like setting out your back door that you do not have to maintain. There is also the fact that you do not have neighbors behind you so you get considerably more privacy and you have live entertainment from dawn to dusk. In addition, many of the homes not only have golf-course views but mountain and/or lake views, which can also bring a higher asking price. And because of the architectural design of most courses, the surrounding neighborhoods are built up around fairways and greens for their irrigation purposes, which creates the very popular walkout basement in the home design, another valuable feature. About a mile west of historic Trinidad in southern Colorado sits Cougar Canyon, a par-72, 7,669-yard Nicklaus course that winds its way through valleys, mesas and arroyos. Along the way it provides breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Spanish Peaks and Fisher s Peak.

At a 6,000-foot elevation, along with Colorado s 300-plus days of sunshine and Trinidad s mild and humidity-free climate, Cougar Canyon could be one of the best-kept secrets in the state.

49 TopShelf Fuzzy Zoeller famously waved a white towel of surrender in the 1984 U.S. Open when Greg Norman holed out a shot on No. 17. The two tied and Zoeller won the tournament after an 18-hole playoff the next day. Norman pulled out his white towel of surrender on the 18th green to return the gesture. Zoeller has often been noted for his antics on and off the course, but his latest venture is serious business. Professional golfers often turn to other ventures in the twilight of their careers. A two-time major winner, Zoeller s venture is a bit different. He has launched a vodka label as smooth as his swing. Fuzzy s Ultra Premium Vodka is anything but a joke. It was rated a 94 by the Beverage Tasting Institute, which earned it the Institute s exceptional ranking. Jerald O Kennard, director of the Beverage Testing Institute, says of Zoeller s vodka, 94 is an extremely good score and unusually high. Fuzzy s Ultra Premium Vodka is quite exceptional, and our review places it in the upper Premium Vodka was a winner. That was July Today the vodka is available in 25 states. Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona are distribution areas and Nevada will soon have distributors. Zoeller s team is sponsoring several Champions Tour events in 2011, which will put the brand in the forefront of premium liquors. The all-american made vodka is 99 percent grain based. While most vodka is filtered three to five times, Fuzzy s Ultra Premium Vodka is slowly filtered ten times through charcoal and crushed volcanic rock. It is handcrafted and batch distilled using pure Cascade Mountain spring water. A portion of each batch is aged for two months in fresh oak barrels and then reintroduced to the final product. The result is an exceptionally clean spirit. The amount of filtering gives purity with subtle hints of flavor; citrus and cream run lightly throughout. There is a long, whipped cream and mineral fade but it s crisp perfect for a straight or dirty martini. Fuzzy Zoeller echelons of vodkas worldwide in terms of quality, f lavor and smoothness. That praise comes as no surprise to Zoeller, who spent the better part of four years searching and testing for the vodka characteristics he wanted. When he settled on the final recipe, he took it immediately to those he trusted most: his friends and the staff at his Covered Bridge Golf Club in Indiana. Zoeller poured shots of several vodkas from the top shelf at the Covered Bridge bar. He secretly included his new brew in a blind taste test. He asked the staff to give him their choice of best in class. Everyone chose Fuzzy s Ultra Premium Vodka over the other brands, Zoeller says. I knew I liked it, but that confirmed everything when they choose it as well. I knew we had a winner. Soon afterward, Zoeller repeated the test with several close friends. The results overwhelmingly confirmed that Fuzzy s Like Zoeller himself, Fuzzy s Premium Vodka is a strong personality in the arena of its peers. Zoeller s competitive nature doesn t allow him to produce anything but a product of excellence, and his vodka is an instant leader in the field. It can go head-to-head with any of the name brands on the market. Fuzzy s Premium is sneaky good. For those who like mixers, Zoeller s vodka is ideal. Because of its quiet strength, the mix isn t overpowered by an aftertaste. Smooth is the power of Fuzzy s. Finish a round with it and you ll know you ve spent the 19th hole with a great of the game. This vodka will have the competition waving the white f lag of surrender before long. Aaron Atwood is a staff writer with Colorado Golf Magazine MArChApril2011 ColorAdoGolfMAGAzine 49

Choosing a winding road on a fresh spring day behind the wheel of the latest Jaguar XK would be the perfect choice for Jaguar needs little in the way of introduction. Celebrity status is well established and the wow factor is ever-present on any model emerging from the Jaguar factory. For brands with a long history of excellence, dropping jaws may get more difficult over time. Yet after 75 years in auto making, Jaguar still has the teeth to make models that raise your blood pressure and bring back the childlike joy in driving. The Jaguar XK has options that give every driver something to drool over. Do you want coupe or convertible, 385 horsepower or 500? The list is long and heart pounding. The XK coupe comes standard with a 5-liter, 385 horsepower engine. A 0-to-60 time of five seconds speaks to the lightweight frame and expertly crafted aerodynamics. Choose the engine upgrade the XKR package and you get 510 horsepower. The XKR tuning gives the engine a top speed of nearly 175 miles per hour, making it the fastest Jaguar ever made. The six-speed transmission is silks and gears. Jaguar s trademarked Sequential Shift gives drivers Drive, Sport Automatic or Manual gearshift modes.

Whizzing through the gears is easy on drivers and passengers with Jag s suspension design. Adaptive Dynamics is the company s name for keeping the ride from sending you to a chiropractor.

52 luxuryautos through the onboard sensors and computers. The suave XK design launches the front end forward in the fashion that made Jaguar the poster car for elegance. The XK bodylines are bold yet compact. Dual airintake vents in the hood look powerful, and the oval-shaped grill is classic Jaguar. To describe the XK as stunning is cliché in the extreme. The short deck that finishes the vehicle acts as punctuation on the look, ensuring that no right-minded critic would put his or her reputation on the line by disparaging the appearance of the XK; that would be utter foolishness. Suffice it to say that the circles you drive in with an XK are at the top of the world-class automotive industry, and the Jaguar XK takes you there with confidence and a brand that has withstood the onslaught of recessions and buyouts and come out the other side unscathed. In a celebration of Jaguar s 75th anniversary, the XKR package is a limited edition of the XK being released with only 175 models in production. The XKR carries the 510 horsepower and is fitted with 20-inch alloy wheels, exquisite trim and custom numbering on the kick plate. The interior is everything a discerning buyer would want in a luxury sports car. Plush understates the supple leather seats and headliner. Simple is successful in the XK s interface; dash display, navigation and climate control are easy and intuitive to operate. Jaguar doesn t overdo the features but makes the XK electronics ample to give drivers what they need and then a bit more. Naturally, the XK line is equipped with an ipod connector and advanced blue-tooth features. The Bowers and Wilkins sound system runs on a 525-watt amplifier. Those are the specs. The sound is pure emotion. Every delicate note has its place in these speakers, and the cabin seems built to give the system a place of emphasis. Everything about the entertainment features tells you that the designers thought first of drivers and then built to suit their needs. Driving through mountains or across the flatlands, the Jaguar XK is equipped for whatever the road can throw at you. Whether you are downtown for a night out or touring the country looking for adventure, it s your power to choose, and that put you behind the wheel of an XK. You chose wisely.

55 Stylereport Walter Genuin, The Rock Star, calfskin leather, priced at $299 Sesto Meucci of Florence priced at $ Unutzer, green or red crocodile priced at $1,500 Designers have added glam and cute to today s golf shoes When did golf shoes become fashion s hottest topic on the course? When designers such as Sesto Meucci, Walter Genuin and Unutzer started offering gorgeous creations that shatter the standard image of boring lace-up footwear. Golf shoes have gone from functional to fashionable and everyone is taking note. One of the earliest references to spiked golf shoes appears in an 1857 issue of The Golfer s Manual. Due to the constant wet conditions in Scotland, golf s birthplace, shoes roughed with small nails or sprigs were worn to combat the slippery ground. In 1891 screw-in spikes made an appearance. They were more comfortable than hobnail shoes and boots, but the spikes drew criticism from groundskeepers for damaging the greens. Spalding introduced the timeless saddle oxford in Originally designed for racket sports but failing to catch on, it became the standard in golf shoes. The 1980s brought more of an athletic shoe, f lexible and wearer friendly with a focus on support and comfort. Finally in the 1990s, nonmetal cleats were introduced, changing golf shoes forever. Today, women s golf shoes are known in the jet set crowd as airport shoes, stylish and hard to distinguish from street shoes. The hot colors are currently black, white and red, with a little leopard for animal-print lovers. With styles that shine, sparkle, slip on, lace up, zip or buckle, the key to these shoes is the one-piece rubber sole with traction that works on and off the course. A leader in fine women and men s shoes, Sesto Meucci of Florence is known worldwide for quality, stylish foot apparel featuring a bold color palette. The line offers chic footwear in gold, silver, leopard print and patent. Some styles have pink soles and many styles are available in white. The popular black and white Gabian golf shoe is priced at $249.95, as is the fashionable Silver Gasha. You might never know these are golf shoes except, perhaps, for the black sole on many styles. For the trendy and ultra chic, Walter Genuin has one of the most sought after golf shoes in today s market, his Rock Star collection. The Rock Star features black calfskin leather with gold underlay and trim, adjustable zip front, elastic gussets at the top for a perfect fit, gold-tone interior leather lining and the shoes are lightweight and f lexible. Other colors include red and gold and white and gold, and all feature Genuin s new rotor-integrated golf and street-use outsole. Priced at $299, these shoes are in such high demand for the course and beyond that retailers started pre booking orders last November. When money is truly no object, call Unutzer. Offering a golf and street-wear collection that includes python in green or crocodile in red or cognac, these lace-up exotics are the ultimate in comfort for all-day, everywhere use, priced at $1,500. If skins aren t your style, the Flame Patent Red Shoe with straps is so fun and elegant you ll wish it were made in every color of the rainbow, especially at $465. Finally, keeping with tradition, Unutzer brings out the dainty lass in all of us with the MeToo lavender and white lace-up shoe...so pretty, $425. When shopping for the latest in footwear, remember that designers around the world agree on one thing: the wrong shoes will take you from fashionista to fashion disaster. Sesto Meucci, Walter Genuin and Unutzer golf shoes can be found at ladygolf.com, industry leader in women s golf apparel.

If you think these looks might not fit the country club crowd, think again. The look is there but in a subtly elegant way. From earrings to bracelets, necklaces to piercings, men are wearing jewelry more than ever. Just forget the girly associations; men like their hardware to have a manly image, so words like bracelet and necklace are out. As with women s jewelry, the trends for men are constantly changing and 2011 is no exception. This season grey is the new black, says Jef Timms, owner of Hephaestus (hephaestusps.com) in Palm Springs, Calif. Grey metal titanium is poised for a huge push this coming year because of its durability and lightweight nature, replacing the heavier and more corrosive metals such as steel and iron. Discovered in the 1790s and named after Titan in Greek mythology, titanium has remained affordable while precious metals prices are at historic highs, allowing a wide range of people to wear the latest accessories made with it. Gone is the age where men occasionally wear jewelry, explains Timms. Today s men are experiencing a wonderful artistic bracelet, pendant or ring, and enjoying it daily. Cufflinks are also back, and have become the perfect complement for today s modern men s watch collectors. The hottest look for rings is the tension-style design that showcases a diamond floating between the two ends of a titanium circle that has been cut. Approximately 4,000 pounds of pressure holds the diamond in place, and depending on the size of the diamond, prices may start low and escalate to thousands. As fashionable as the grey metals are, designers are also using glass, crystals, Lucite, pearls, leather and anodized stainless steel to create a very sophisticated look. Another super hot look (but less available) is jewelry featuring rough-cut and offcolor diamonds, as well as Chocolate Gold from Italy. Used extensively in the collections of Italian jewelry designers de Grisogono, Licia Mattioli and Gruosi, Chocolate Gold is beautiful with any skin tone and the true jewelry lover with discerning taste is guaranteed to fall in love with it. The concept of green or eco-friendly has finally made its way into jewelry design. More and more designers, including Mari & Lani Davis, Alex and Ani and Tamra Gentry to name a few, are concerned with recycle and reuse philosophies in their designs, with the result that interesting and exciting green jewelry is popping up everywhere. Speaking of green, or rather greens, men s jewelry is now offered for sale in elite and trendy golf shops around the world, thanks to the fact that men of varying ages are acquiring pieces and wearing them on and off some of the most exclusive golf courses. Whether hundreds or thousands of dollars, men s hardware is just as important as a great set of golf clubs just don t call it jewelry.
