DIVE IN

[Pandemic news broke 27th, 2009] There’s never been a better time to reconnect with what’s real. Like the sunset view from your hillside home overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Or enjoying a night out in La Paz, where locals outnumber tourists, and four-course dinners go for the price of a stateside lunch. And of course, there’s the welcome anticipation to play 18 holes on the first Gary Player Signature Golf Course in Mexico, opening in 2010. The quality of life at CostaBaja Resort and Marina is making it one of the most desired residential resort destinations. Not just because it’s a place to call home. But because it’s a sound investment in the things that matter most. Now, and for years to come. Direct 2-hour flight from LAX to La Paz or a 90-mile drive north of Los Cabos. Ocean and golf course view homes at construction pricing from the mid $400s to $2 million, USD.

n January, Costa Baja Resort and Marina hosted a ground breaking ceremony for its new Gary Player Signature Course scheduled to open in the summer of 2010. I was delighted to be included among the group of international press invited to this event. Now, I must confess that I have not played golf in over 30 years. Therefore, I made sure to do my research on Gary Player beforehand and learned what most of the golf world already knows. He has 163 worldwide tournament wins including: The Masters three times (1961, 1974, 1978), The British Open three times (1959, 1968, 1974), The PGA Championship two times (1962, 1972), and The US Open in 1965. Additionally, Mr. Player is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Recipient of the South African Sportsman of the Century Award, PGA Tour money leader in 1961,

Captain of the International team in 2003, 2005 and President’s Cup in 2007. And now with over 200 golf courses designed around the world, he is about to create his first in Mexico. I was looking forward to this trip! I was fortunate enough to meet Gary Player on the Alaska Airlines flight from Los Angeles to La Paz as he sat in the row behind me. He was immediately personable and engaging. We spoke further as we waited for our bags in La Paz. I was very taken by his friendly and open personality. The main event started the next day with a press conference after a great breakfast. This was followed by the ground breaking and an exhibition by Gary Player at the 9th hole overlooking the Sea of Cortez. From my vantage point in the bleachers, it appeared that every ball that Mr. Player hit landed at the exact same spot on the water. I was impressed!

502 P2 402 D 302 D 202 B 102 B

Every time Mr. Player spoke, he emphasized his love of health, fitness, the environment, and most of all, family. He spoke about the environmental efforts being taken at Costa Baja Resort and Marina, including the water treatment plant and other techniques such as low moisture turf and increased use of the natural terrain. Also, every time a plant needed to be removed there would be great care taken to make sure that it was preserved and replanted in another location. Regarding health and fitness, at a youthful 73 years of age, Gary Player is as fit as anyone I know. He does a thousand sit ups every day and claims to never eat bacon, milk, white bread or ice cream, and he insists that we should not either. I could live without those four foods, but I am not sure about the 1,000 sit ups a day! I was inspired by meeting Gary Player. I was impressed by his passion for life and all things around him. I was also impressed by Costa Baja Resort and Marina on many levels. Obviously, first by their association with Gary Player, but they also demonstrated that they care about people, the environment and family by the warm hospitality that was extended to the entire press group that was lucky enough to be invited to this event. For this I thank them as I will always remember my meeting with Gary Player. I probably will not take up golf again, but I now have a whole new respect for the game and Costa Baja Resort and Marina!

UPDATE

LA PAZ, Baja California Sur, Mexico (July XX, 2009) -- Alejandro C. Yberri, CEO of CostaBaja Resort & Marina, (www.costabajaresort.com), is pleased to announce that Troon Golf,® the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing, has been selected to manage the community’s Gary Player-designed golf course. The golf course at CostaBaja, which is the first Gary Player Signature course to be built in Mexico, is currently under construction and will open in Fall 2010. The course will feature panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez and an innovative design that complements the desert-by-the-sea landscape. To ensure the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem, the course is being built in harmony with the environment and natural topography. The layout blends seamlessly with the landscape and will challenge the most accomplished players.

Construction Update

“The team at CostaBaja Resort & Marina is thrilled to have Troon Golf manage Gary Player’s Signature course,” said Yberri. “We are confident that with Troon’s management expertise and Gary Player’s design, CostaBaja will offer an unparallel golf experience.”

In addition to world-class golf, the community offers access to exceptional outdoor activities including swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, kayaking and fishing. Additional amenities include the CostaBaja Beach Club, which serves as the community’s social hub, as well as the state-of-the-art, 250-slip marina – considered to be the finest marina in Mexico. The lively Marina Village is also lined with fine restaurants, shops, galleries, and charter services.

gary player ‘I retIred too early from the masters’

Gary Player has designed almost 300 courses in 30 countries. After his 52nd and final Masters, he flew to La Paz – the site of his first Mexico-based golf course design. I tracked down the self-proclaimed mosttravelled man on the planet at the CostaBaja Resort, on the coast of the Sea of Cortez. “This is an extraordinary place,” said Player. “How many places have desert right on the ocean?” We discussed his new project, his emotional week at the Masters, a round with Mother Teresa, three-foot putts for his life and calling kids fat.

Introducing the first and only Gary Player Signature Course in the country.

You had an amazing week at the Masters. Does part of you take a little pride in the fact that you were able to play competitively at Augusta longer than Jack and Arnie? Well, I do. But that was going to happen automatically because I’ve watched what I ate more than they did. And I exercised extremely hard. It was really an automatic, wasn’t it? If you look at the time I put into exercise, and watching my diet, compared to what they did, it’s not even close. You also have to be lucky to be healthy. And quite honestly, I retired too early from the Masters, because I broke 80 again. Yes, quite honestly, I think I retired too early. But be that as it may, that’s my decision, and that’s it. Didn’t you go through Amen Corner one day at one under? Yes. And the first day I went out in one over. The last day, quite honestly, I would have broken 80 if it were a normal day (Player shot 83), but I was getting a standing ovation on every single tee, and every

Why did Gary Player choose CostaBaja? Because CostaBaja is like no other destination on Earth. Minutes from the town of La Paz, CostaBaja will share her natural landscape with 18 holes of integrated design and beauty, supervised by The Black Knight himself. Virtually every vantage point will have a magnificent view of the Sea of Cortez, home to one of the greatest marine reserves in the world, and CostaBaja’s own private state-of-the-art marina. Phase II construction is well under way. And we won’t stop until you’re lining up a shot at a whole new way of life.
