A Fore-Word About the Great Game of Golf

Christopher Webster Real Estate ’ The Leading Player at Las Campanas

Mark Twain once said that the game of golf was a great way to ruin a nice walk. Perhaps if he had seen the Jack Nicklaus designed Sunrise Golf Course at Las Campanas, he would have put down his pen and picked up his clubs. One might even imagine him puffing on his cigar from the portal of his custom home overlooking the seventh fairway.

Christopher Webster Real Estate, representing some of the finest properties available at Las Campanas, would be the brokerage of choice for Mr. Twain. This is an agency that knows real estate, and knows about the great game of golf.

Since the opening of the Sunrise Golf Course, Christopher Webster Real Estate has sponsored the annual “Christopher Webster Real Estate Benefit Golf Tournement” at Las Campanas. This event has supported The Boys and Girls Club of Santa Fe and the United Way of Santa Fe County.

Each year some of the best (and not so best) golfers from around New Mexico meet at Las Campanas to socialize, exchange stories, and play golf under the beautiful blue skies of Santa Fe.

As a possible response to Mark Twain’s comment, another famous man, Jack Nicklaus said about the Sunrise Golf Course at Las Campanas, “I think it’s going to knock your socks off.” And Christopher Webster Real Estate can assist you in experiencing the reality of that statement.

In fact, “Byron Nelson Eleven Straight” has become the unspoken theme of this year’s tournament. Not only is it the label for a line of golf clothes produced by E. MeGrath of Dallas, but it is also the name for a tournament to be played at the Four Seasons in September, with threesomes invited from the courses Nelson played and won in 1945.

When Dallasites aren’t watching or playing golf at home, many travel to play golf in someone else’s backyard. With more than 730 championship courses statewide from the Hill Country to the pines of East Texas to the palms of the Rio Grande valley, the state of Texas ranks fifth nationally in total golf courses according to the Golf Association of Texas (GAT). A coalition of resorts and golf-related businesses throughout the state. GAT is committed to “make Texas one of the premier destinations for traveling golfers.

Angela Enrighl, director of public relations at the Four Seasons, which is a member of GAT. said, “Golf has now become a focus of tourism marketing. We know that a lot of people want golf getaway vacations. The days of 7 and 14 day vacations are rare. We see people who want a 3,4 or 5 day respite. That’s why we offer the packages we do. And we want golfers to know about golf throughout Texas and the Southwest. It stimulates business.” (For golf package information, see page 56.)

“It’s been wonderful to watch people from all over discover Texas golf,” said Jack Parker, owner of Tapatio Springs, a golf resort and conference center outside San Antonio. “’In the winter. 80% of our guests are from other states.” added Parker, who. with partner Jay Eddy, also owns the Quarry, a daily fee course in San Antonio . “Our guests are amazed by the different styles of golf in Texas.”

Not only is there an abundance of golf available in Texas and in Dallas, but golf is good for Dallas. Of the 75 companies that relocated to Dallas last year, 10,500 new jobs were created for Dallas area residents, according to Rick Douglas. And because we know that golf was a factor in the decision to come here, there are more golfers here. And Dallasites’ love of golf creates jolts – for pros, course designers. course developers, home builders, golf equipment and clothing retailers, and of course hotels and restaurants. Is there a downside to golf in the Metroplex? Hardly. The land that once was flat, often brown and treeless is landscaped in lush hills with trees, flower beds and plenty of watered grass. The game is quiet, clean and replete with courtesy.

Would H.L. Edwards have predicted this marriage of Dallas and golf would last this long and be this strong? In 1932, thirty six years after introducing the game of golf to his friends in a deserted lot. he wrote “Dallas Golfers Guide.” In it he said:

“In the past ten years golf has grown with such enthusiasm and progress that Dallas today with its thirteen courses is the golfing center of Texas and the Southwest Thousands of rounds of golf are now played every week by the Dallas business executives who enjoy the pastime as a brain stimulant and relaxation. Our clubs, courses, professionals and all golfing facilities are the equal to the best in any section of the county. Therefore, may golf continue to grow and the coming season of 1932 be the greatest in Dallas history.”

Only the dates and numbers have changed.

We think H. L. Edwards, the father of Dallas golf, would be proud.

“The developer’s challenge is to preserve and enhance the environment in the context of human needs for an improved quality of life. We enthusiastically dedicate ourselves to this mission. “
