golf in review: ted antonopoulos

Bobby Jones once said "There is golf...and then there is Tournament Golf!" Truer words were never spoken!

We want to congratulate all of the Mayacama Members who “laid it on the line” and brought their games out for all to see while competing in one of our Mayacama Championships. Our Tournament Program showcases the play of our Members in a competitive environment. From planning and setting the hole locations, to course conditioning, first tee announcements, professional scoreboards, and awards ceremonies, we take a great deal of pride in providing you with a Championship experience similar to that which you would find if you were playing in a National Championship.

Please join us in congratulating our tournament winners for the year 2014:

How well is your golf swing working for you?

Mayacama Golf Club is proud to announce a unique opportunity designed specifically for our Members to participate in “The Body Swing Connection”. Designed by Dr. Nancy Auge and Ted Antonopoulos, TPI Certified Medical/Fitness Professional and TPI Certified Golf Instructor respectively, this program is tailored to optimize your golf swing efficiency. Employing Titleist Performance Institute methodologies, Nancy and Ted analyze the physical limitations that adversely affect the way you swing, compromise your game and potentially lead to injury. Then we work on the "What next?"

Members may choose between one of two programs we have built or, we can design a program specifically for you to meet your needs and schedule.

SPA SPECIAL: hot stone MASSAGE

During the cold of winter, January is a great month to feel the warmth of a Hot Stone Massage. Let our talented and knowledgeable therapist help reduce stress, release chronic muscle tension & pain, and relax your body at its deepest level.

If you are interested, please email Greg Brown directly at gbrown@mayacama.com and he can provide you with further information.

MEMBER TESTIMONIAL: Bryan & Tanya Crapo

"We visited the residences at Kapalua Bay in October through the Timbers Reciprocity Program and had an amazing experience. The property is ideally located on Kapalua Bay, Maui with fantastic views and a short walk to a beautiful beach in a protected cove which was perfect for our 3 year old son. The residence itself was beautiful with a large lanai looking out over the bay where we ate breakfast every morning. The pools, golf on property and service were also exceptional and all contributed to make it such a memorable experience. We can't wait to go back and are already thinking about a return trip in 2015!"

- Bryan and Tonya Crapo, Mayacama Charter Residence Club Members
