starting young,creating a legacy We all need help starting out. Pediatric physical therapist Dr. Emily Heisey provides that support for her patients every day at her local practice.

After seeing her in action not only through her popular Instagram account but also during our photo shoot for this month’s issue, which you can see in “Treating The Next Generation,” it was clear to me that she not only has a passion for the work but also for the kids she works with. Dr. Emily Heisey teaches her patients the importance of creating a solid movement foundation. By taking the time to practice, these kids can grow up and maneuver with more ease.

This month’s “Five Minutes With” also proves productive practice can bring about meaningful rewards. Former Dragon Football varsity member and Texas A&M graduate Carson Green got his start in the sport right here in Southlake, looking up to athletes like Riley Dodge. Now he is taking the next step in his career with the NFL's Houston Texans.

He’s not the only athletic star featured in this month’s issue. Learn more about the late Frank Lucchesi’s achievements in “Frank Lucchesi's Tarrant County Life: A Big League Manager's Retirement In Colleyville,” and see why he decided to retire here after working throughout the country. The MLB legend proved that finding your home is just as important as carving out your legacy.

ew stories are as powerful as the ones America tells. These stories are filled with bravery, resilience and courage.

The American Revolution was portrayed through the musical “1776,” period dramas like “John Adams” and “Turn” and powerful epics like “The Patriot.” Mel Gibson later returned to the trenches to direct Andrew Garfield in “Hacksaw Ridge” and star in “We Were Soldiers.”

Oliver Stone focused on the Vietnam War twice in “Platoon” and “Born On The Fourth Of July,” and Tom Cruise starred in many patriotic pleasers like the high-flying “Top Gun” and the courtroom drama “A Few Good Men.” Aaron Sorkin, meanwhile, has written several stories about the Oval Office, from “The West Wing” to “The American President.”

World War II had its moment on the big screen multiple times, whether it was in Terrence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line,” Clint Eastwood’s “Flags Of Our Fathers” or Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.” Tom Hanks was so inspired by that film that he collaborated with Spielberg on the Emmy Award-winning series “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.”

Tense thrillers like “American Sniper,” “Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Outpost” portray more modern-day conflicts, and Mark Wahlberg is caught up in a few of them with “Lone Survivor” and “Patriot's Day.” But if President Whitmore says anything that rings true, it is that our independence is always worth fighting for.

Chill Out

Practical Solutions To Cool Your Home This Summer Few things are as sweltering as the Texas summer heat.

Oftentimes, cranking up the fan and blasting the air conditioning just doesn't cut it. Luckily, a few local professionals know a thing or two about keeping your home cool.

Heat Prevention

You’ll first want to prevent excess heat from entering your home. Graber Blinds’ new product development executive director Julia Dorn says window shades can help block out most of the heat from entering through your windows and doors.

“Cooling a home can get costly in the hot summer months, but the right window treatments can offer a stylish and economic solution,” Julia says. “This allows users to block the sun from streaming through windows during peak times, limit the burden on your cooling system and maximize energy savings.”

Incandescent lightbulbs can also make rooms hotter, so billyGo president Adam Mennenga recommends replacing them with LED lights. Attics can also invite unwanted warm air into your home, so Texas Air Doctors co-owner Mike Gossett recommends installing an insulated air tent.

“Even a tight pull-down stair will allow almost 150 degrees of attic air to enter your home every five and a half minutes,” Mike says.

12 • JUL 21

Increase Airflow

Mike says getting a tuneup for your air conditioner can help it run better and cool more.

“Dirt or obstructions on the outdoor condenser can easily increase your cooling cost by up to 40% and reduce the cooling capacity of a 5-ton system to that of a 3-ton system,” Mike says. “An improperly running air conditioner will not cool properly.”

Dirt can also affect your home’s airflow, so Adam recommends changing your air filter frequently to eliminate any potential obstructions.

“Dirty air filters restrict airflow through the system, making it less efficient and working it harder than necessary,” Adam says. “A/C technicians can change them for you as part of a tuneup.”

Retain Air Circulation

Once you have fully optimized your airflow, you’ll want to retain circulation. Keeping doors and windows closed keeps air circulating in individual rooms, and checking the insulation will help you determine if there are any breaches that need to be sealed. Adam also recommends using ceiling fans.

“Ceiling fans do a great job of moving large amounts of air in a room, even with the A/C running,” Adam says. “Set fans to rotate counter-clockwise to push the air downward and keep the air moving.”

There are several other applications you can use to keep your house cool. Air circulators like the Dyson pure cool keeps air flowing while air coolers like the Agilly cooling tower melts ice packs into its vents for a frostier breeze. Rehau radiant floors can help your feet stay cold, and the Flair smart vents adjust the temperature with your smartphone.

Stay cool, Southlake!

DERMATOLOGIST

THIS BOARD-CERTIFIED SOUTHLAKE DERMATOLOGY PRACTITIONER OPENED HER OFFICE IN JULY 1999

HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE DERMATOLOGY? I landed a job as a medical assistant during my summer breaks with a dermatologist in Fort Worth. Seeing the plethora of different skin rashes and diseases that manifest on the skin was very intriguing and challenging.

Through medical school, I entertained all the disciplines but kept coming back to dermatology.

WHAT INTERESTED YOU ABOUT THE SPECIALTY? It allows me to have a family practice-type clinic where I see multiple generations, but I also do surgery and other procedures, which I love doing.

WHAT KINDS OF SKIN CONCERNS DO YOU TREAT AT SOUTHLAKE DERMATOLOGY? We see all the common things you might think of at a dermatology office: acne, warts, skin cancer, psoriasis and eczema. However, dermatology is much more than a top 10 skin disorder list. Many internal diseases present on the skin. I have found multiple internal cancers and genetic disorders that patients were not yet diagnosed with just by being observant and using the skills I learned through my training at UT Southwestern.

14 • JUL 21

angela bowers, m.d.

WHAT SKIN QUESTION DO YOUR PATIENTS ASK MOST OFTEN? ‘What can I do for my itchy skin?’ We often recommend CeraVe anti-itch lotion and to keep it in the refrigerator.

You can use this as often as you like along with cool compresses. Zyrtec in the morning and Benadryl pills at night can also help if a topical isn't enough. We usually prescribe steroid creams for eczema but always want to make sure it isn't a fungal or bacterial infection first.

WHAT COMMON SKIN MISCONCEPTION DO YOU WISH PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD BETTER? Drinking more water doesn't directly influence the moisture of your skin. It is important to stay hydrated, but to maintain an intact skin barrier, you need to take more action to keep your facial skin moisturized.

WHAT IS ONE SKIN CARE STEP THAT EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE A PART OF THEIR ROUTINE? Daily sunscreen with zinc oxide such as EltaMD.

TREATING THE NEXT GENERATION PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPIST EMILY HEISEY ENSURES KIDS’ MOTOR DEVELOPMENT IS ON TRACK

BY LIZZY SPANGLER PHOTOS BY EMILEE PRADO

18 • JUL 21

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

W

ith an adorable baby model and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” in the background on the Instagram reel, more than 1 million people watched Dr. Emily Heisey confidently share how to entertain a baby under 3 months old.

“Look, y’all know that the ‘newborn’ phase is not my jam (thus the song), but your newbie is capable of far more than you think,” Emily says in the video’s caption. “Let’s start making those awake times a bit more purposeful and try challenging them with some of [these activities]. Believe me, it will definitely help those long days in the house go by a bit faster.”

The Southlake pediatric physical therapist helps babies, toddlers and children with their motor development, including everything from rolling over and crawling to walking and balancing. Armed with her doctorate, popular @kinactive_kids Instagram account and love for the work, Emily ensures kids develop properly.

THE ROAD TO PEDIATRICS

Growing up, Emily was a dancer and had visions of pursuing that when she entered college.

“Once I figured I was not going to make it on Broadway, I decided I wanted to go into a profession that was all about the body and how the body moved,” she says. “And physical therapy was a great option for me.”

So Emily began her education and as her clinical rotations got underway, one stuck — pediatrics. But with two older brothers and no experience babysitting, Emily says she never really had experience around kids.

“Kids were not really my thing,” she confesses. “But after working with them, I just loved how creative you could be and how they just never had that emotion of depression where sometimes older adults would. So for me, it was just a way to take all my creativity and energy and focus it with the kids who [are] really receptive to it.”

UNDERSTANDING PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY

Most think physical therapy follows an injury. But that’s not the case with pediatric physical therapy.

“We’re actually teaching those foundational skills that they should have from birth and up. Pediatric physical therapy is more about the development of a child,” Emily says. “So we’re teaching kiddos...how to crawl and roll and walk. A lot of times children will have really flat, flexible feet, [so] we’ll have to educate them on shoes and different inserts or orthotics that will help them to walk.”

Pediatric physical therapy also addresses conditions like infant torticollis, a condition that causes the head to rotate and tilt at odd angles. After seeing Emily’s Instagram, Sejal Patel sought out treatment for their 6-month-old son Jude when he had issues supporting himself.

“If you tried to put him in a high chair or baby seat, he’d just slump over,” Sejal says. “From there, she recommended once a week therapy for six weeks. She truly sets you and your child up for success by not only giving you ‘homework’ to do with your child between sessions, but making sure you know how to do it.”

Some of the physical therapy exercises included side sitting, stretching and strategic toy placement. Thanks to Emily and Allison, the other physical therapist at her practice who also worked with him, Jude sat independently after one week and was able to get in and out of sitting in four weeks.

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

“Emily has helped Jude make such large strides,” Sejal says.

With her methods, Emily says she can usually treat patients in six to eight visits.

“That’s the coolest thing is [parents] seeing how if you directly work on a specific muscle and on a specific movement, that will be the missing piece to that gross motor skill,” Emily says.

Pediatric physical therapy can also help kids like Kinsley, a now 16-month-old born with the genetic disorder lissencephaly. Kinsley has been in therapy since her diagnosis at 8 months old.

“In basic terms, she lacks the folds and grooves that a typical brain has,” Kinsley’s mom, Stephani Keetch says.

“This malformation leads to many issues, including gross motor delay, which is why we looked into PT for her.”

Stephani and Kinsley represent the breadth of Emily’s influence as they live in Washington state. But they drove down to Texas to participate in Kinactive Kamp — a consultation, physical therapy and chiropractic sessions.

“I found Emily through good ol’ Instagram,” Stephani says. “She was friends with a friend of a friend, and when

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

I started scrolling [through] her page, I realized that I had to get Kinsley in front of her!”

Through Kinactive Kamp, Stephani says they initially started a two-week course, but that quickly turned into five weeks.

“The progress was so amazing that we just couldn't leave,” Stephani says. “Our goal was independent sitting, which is what Emily first started working on and that progressed to working on weight-bearing through her arms and transitions.”

Kinsley's exercises focused on tucking her chin, controlling her head and bearing her weight, among other strength tasks. “[I feel] encouraged, inspired, proud, motivated and in complete awe! We were amazed every single day, and watching Kinsley now, after five weeks with Emily, is mind-blowing,” Stephani says. “She's a completely different baby and has functional mobility that she never had!”

When asked what she thinks of Emily, Stephani says she gets teary.

“As a parent, you want the absolute best for your

JUL 21 • 21

child. You'd move mountains for them, or drive for four days from Washington state on a leap of faith to have a complete stranger work on your baby,” Stephani says.

“There truly aren't enough thank yous for everything Emily did for us and for Kinsley. She did what therapists at home never could. She believed in Kinsley as much as we do and showed us what is possible for her.”

MEDICAL INSTAGRAM INFLUENCER

One big aspect of Emily’s job is her Instagram account @kinactive_kids, which now has more than 200,000 followers.

“I just started it on a whim and just with the intention of educating,” Emily says. “And it just blew up.”

Emily says within the first three months of having her account, she was up to 5,000 followers. After a little over a year, her account had reached more than 100,000 followers.

“It was kind of crazy and I think the biggest impact that I had hoped to make — and didn’t know I wanted to make — was really to educate people that this was out there, that there doesn’t need to be this wait-and-see approach when it comes to physicians or pediatricians,” Emily says.

Like with Sejal and Stephani, Emily says many of her patients’ parents find her through social media.

“With how much work I’ve put into it, it has become a way for me to monetize, and really, 95% of my referrals come from Instagram,” Emily says. “Instagram really is my job — my business.”

Devoting around five hours a day to Instagram on top of her full-time job, Emily uses her channel to share information about pediatric physical therapy, discuss child development and help soothe parents’ worries.

“I wanted to put this information out there that really wasn’t accessible and isn’t really out there, so that parents could feel more confident in parenting their child and going through those gross motor phases,” Emily says.

Some of the posts on her Instagram include “5 Ways To Get Your Kiddo To Stand” and “Game-Changing Gross Motor Hacks.” Many of her posts come with accompanying videos, letting parents see her tips in action.

“I make it to where it’s not scary, it’s not threatening,” Emily says.

Stephani says the tips and educational posts Emily puts on her Instagram account are both insightful and helpful.

“The tips she provides on that account are more than what most people get going to a physical therapist,” Stephani says. “She has invaluable information within her account, coupled with a little bit of spice and a whole lot of fun!”

After getting disclaimers, Emily records a number of her patients for her social media, to both track their progress and illustrate the long-term benefits of pediatric physical therapy.

“When [parents] are seeing that, they feel confident that their kiddo is going to get better, so I feel like the main comment is just [that] they feel empowered,” Emily says. “And then they like the different spin that I put on it.

PT is not supposed to be scary, and it shouldn’t make you feel bad as a parent.”

22 • JUL 21

EMPOWERING PARENTS EVERYWHERE

While Emily’s practice is in Southlake, her influence goes beyond city limits. For those who may not live locally, Emily offers virtual consultations and has courses parents can purchase that cover everything from crawling basics and foundational strength to rolling and addressing the different styles of crawls. And in a coming course upgrade, video instruction will be included.

“I can’t help every single mom individually, because I’m only one person,” Emily says. “But also the way I learn is very visual, and I like to break it down, and so when I break these skills down, it’s very easy for parents to do it at home. And once they see it through a video...the results are crazy.”

Emily has a simple goal: empowering parents.

“I want them to feel like they can do it,” Emily says. “I want to empower them, and I want them to have an extra tool in their toolbox if they feel like something’s going on and not feel like they have to wait for someone else to help them.”

Above all, whether it’s through in-person sessions, her Instagram account or her courses, Emily is dedicated to kids.

“You’re teaching them skills that otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to do and walking and crawling and moving is a huge part of our lives,” Emily says. “So if a child can’t do that, whether it be because they have cerebral palsy or just because they have low muscle tone, you’re the one getting to teach that skill that they’re gonna use for the rest of their lives. That’s very rewarding.”

Southlake Graduate Hailey Hernandez To Compete In 2020 Summer Olympics

H

ailey Hernandez will represent not only Southlake but the USA in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo later this month. Hailey and Bridget O’Neil traveled to Indianapolis in June to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials. After five rounds, Hailey secured her place in the finals with a total score of 593.90, consistently placing in the top three and finishing second overall.

Bridget placed 12th with an overall score of 524.95. Since the top 12 advanced to the finals, both divers moved on to the final round on Saturday, June 12, where Hailey won second place and secured a spot at the Olympics. Hailey will be the youngest female diver representing Team USA in Tokyo.

After Hailey returned home from the trials, she was greeted by a Southlake DPS celebratory escort. Mayor John Huffman came out to congratulate her, and Southlake Police and Fire escorted her down Southlake Boulevard.

“We turned on our sirens as we neared Southridge Lakes to the awaiting cheers of her neighbors, friends and family,” Southlake Public Information Officer Brad Uptmore says. “We always love to support our Carroll athletes, so we worked with our chiefs and community initiatives liaison Valerie Snyder and fire admin Lorna Boudreaux, who helped organize it and have it go off without any issues!”

Both proud neighbors and fans waved flags and cheered as Hailey drove in. If you missed this first event, don’t miss the city’s send-off celebration, which will be held on Friday, July 9.

“She’s already a champion,” Mayor Huffman says via Facebook. “We cannot wait to see what she does in Tokyo.”

The 2020 Summer Olympics opening ceremony will be held on July 23.

DURHAM DRAGONS WIN MIDDLE SCHOOL MATCH-UP TOURNAMENT Durham Intermediate School's incoming sixth graders came out on top this summer, winning the Middle School Match-up Tournament in early June. The tournament, which takes place over the course of a weekend, brings together students from schools who do not have formal baseball teams, according to its website. Winning all five games they played, the Durham Intermediate team scored 20 runs and only allowed four runs during bracket play.

CISD BASEBALL COACH JOINS USA BASEBALL TASK FORCE USA Baseball is looking for new players to join its team, and CISD’s head baseball coach Larry Vucan will be helping with its search. After taking the Dragons to the regional finals this past season, coach Vucan will be taking on a new venture with USA Baseball as part of its 15U task force. Coach Vucan says he will assist the task force with evaluating and assessing players and providing recommendations to the organization for potential new recruits. Coach Vucan says it’s an honor to have been selected to assist USA Baseball, and he can’t wait to represent his country in any small way he can.

“I’ve wanted to be part of this for a long time,” coach Vucan says. “I thought being a part of Team USA was beyond my grasp. To represent your country and help lead a team out to competition is the greatest honor there is.”

CARROLL ISD APPLIES FOR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN GRANT Carroll ISD applied for a $1-million grant to compensate for the negative effects of COVID-19 last month, and it looked to community stakeholders for input on how to best spend its funds. Last year, the American Rescue Plan was enacted in March to provide additional funding to school districts to respond to COVID-19. One part of the plan includes a one-time Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief grant to address student learning loss as a result of the pandemic. Carroll ISD announced its intention to apply for the grant, according to MySouthlakeNews.com, but it required community input. The district surveyed community members on how to best utilize the funds from the ESSER grant between now and 2024. Questions touched on topics like what should be the district’s main priorities, what are students’ greatest needs, what are student learning loss and achievement gaps, how have students' academic and mental health wellness been impacted and which student groups were most impacted from COVID-19. The district collected submissions until June 22.

HVAC SPECIAL CARROLL ROCKET TEAMS COMPLETED 15 SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHES The Carroll Rockets I and II teams made program history when they completed 15 successful launches in Fredericksburg last semester. Led by rocket teacher Rachel Mahlow, the Rockets I and II teams learned how to engineer their own rockets and launch them at the end of the school year. Rachel says the Rockets I team was instructed to deliver a 1-pound payload a mile high, while the Rocket II team was supposed to break the sound barrier at Mach 1. Rachel says she didn’t know if all of the rockets were going to get launched, but by the end of the semester, she saw all of her students have successful launches. “The whole purpose of my job is to teach them the skills and let them go, struggle, fail, do better, figure it out and be successful by the end of the year,” Rachel says. “It’s their rocket and their project. I only give them the skills to build it, but I want the rocket to be theirs.”

GRACE GRAPEVINE HOSTS VACCINATION CLINICS WITH FEED OUR KIDS By partnering with Glenview Professional Pharmacy, GRACE Grapevine offered COVID-19 vaccines at three of its Feed Our Kids sites this summer. The nonprofit hosted the first clinic on June 8 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. at the Grapevine Outreach Center. People 12 and older were able to register ahead of time to receive their first dose.

Those under 18 had to have a parent with them in order to receive the vaccine. “It was very exciting to see the children receive the COVID-19 vaccine with their parent,” GRACE’s Clinic Nurse Manager Shirley Roberts says.

“Every person who chooses to get vaccinated brings us all a step closer to moving past the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an honor to play a role in families’ decision to vaccinate.” This clinic’s second shot was given on June 29 at the same location. GRACE offered two more vaccination opportunities in June. One was hosted at the GRACE Pantry and Clinic and the second was hosted at 610 Shady Brook Dr. Families who attended these clinics also received the food available from the day’s Feed Our Kids meal.

CARROLL ISD LIFTS COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS FOR THE FALL Carroll ISD will be back to normal this fall. During the superintendent’s report at the school board meeting on June 7, Dr. Lane Ledbetter announced the district will eliminate most of its COVID-19 protocols in August. “The only requirement we have received so far from [the Texas Education Agency] is that if we have a case of COVID-19, we have to notify our local health department. At this time, there does not seem to be any requirement for contact tracing or quarantining in the fall,” Dr. Ledbetter says. “Basically we are back to normal operations on our campuses.” With the mask policy updated earlier in the year, Dr. Ledbetter stated masks will continue to be optional in the fall. Additionally, the district will shift away from the Dragon Virtual Academy and will rely on face-to-face instruction.

HERENCIA TEXICAN CUISINE CLOSES IN SHOPS OF SOUTHLAKE After serving Southlake residents for two years, Herencia Texican Cuisine closed its doors for good last month.

Opening in February 2019, Herencia Texican Cuisine was a Latin American restaurant that added a Texas twist to its entrees. With fresh meat, farm-grown veggies and exotic spices, Herencia’s flavorful cuisine was named a finalist in multiple Southlake Style Readers’ Choice categories, including its popular Texican Margarita winning Best Cocktail in 2020. A partner with the Shops of Southlake developer the Weitzman Group confirmed Herencia has closed and will not be reopening for business. The company is in the process of re-tenanting the space at 1431 E. Southlake Blvd., Suite 551 to a new restaurant later this summer.

OPTIMIZING HEALTH Southlake Integrative Wellness Center Provides Functional Medical Care, Ozone and IV Therapy and Hormone Balancing

W

hen it comes to holistic health, Southlake Integrative Wellness Center operates on one key philosophy: The best way to heal the body is to optimize the body’s self-healing capacity.

With more than 30 years of health care experience, Dr. Tony Rector’s medical career has included family practice, as well as emergency, college and sports medicine. With six different accreditations, including a fellowship at the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. Rector helps his patients identify and treat the root causes of their symptoms and works to establish a unique plan for each individual patient to support their health goals.

One of the most exciting treatments Southlake Integrative Wellness Center offers is ozone therapy, which removes patients’ blood, cleans it with a third oxygen atom and ultraviolet light, then reintroduces it into the bloodstream. The combination of ozone and light rays increase the biological activity of the blood cells to eradicate bacteria, virus and fungus.

In addition to ozone therapy, the practice also offers nutritional IV therapies. These treatments allow for a maximum concentration of vitamins, amino acids and minerals to enter the bloodstream quickly and reach tissues that need them the most.

Hormone balancing is a key component to your overall well-being, yet such a balance can be difficult to achieve. Dr. Rector’s team uses hormone pellet therapy and believes it to be an excellent treatment to create hormonal equilibrium, which your body depends on for optimum health. Pellet therapy specifically creates a smooth, sustained release hormonal environment.

Southlake Integrative Wellness Center doesn’t just look at your symptoms. They assess the whole

person, including physical, emotional, environmental, social and spiritual components, as well as lifestyle factors. Dr. Rector and his caring team are dedicated to helping patients live abundant lives full of health, vitality and purpose.

Jason K. Potter, M.D. WHAT IS YOUR HEALTH CARE PASSION, AND HOW DID YOU COME TO REALIZE IT? My passion for plastic surgery was born out of my personal experience in college when my mom was going through breast cancer.

This fueled my desire to become an expert in reconstructive breast surgery and cosmetic plastic surgery. Deciding to have plastic surgery can be very emotional for patients, but my goal has always been to walk through procedures every step of the way with each patient to ensure that the process is as easy as possible and that they receive the best possible care.

“There is no greater reward than seeing the impact my procedures have on a patient's self-esteem and self-confidence.”

WHAT ARE SOME DESIGNATIONS OR ACCOLADES THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED? I am honored to have been selected many times over the years as a “D Magazine” Best Doctor and “Texas Monthly” Super Doc. Most recently, our office has been designated as an InMode Advanced Remodeling and Skin Tightening Center. This recognizes that we provide non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures for contouring of the face and body. We are the only office in the Southlake area to have received this distinction.

“We strive to deliver the most thorough care available with high-level service.”

Angela Bowers, M.D. WHAT IS YOUR HEALTH CARE PASSION, AND HOW DID YOU COME TO REALIZE IT? I am passionate about helping others with their skin diseases. Having skin issues can be very debilitating, leading to lower self-esteem.

HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY? We see patients for free who come from GRACE and The Gatehouse and supply them with extra skin care products. The practice also donates to a large number of philanthropic organizations such as Young Life, National Charity League and Young Men’s Service League.

WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR JOB? The most rewarding part of my work is the relationships I have built with my patients and staff. I am now at a stage in practice where I am seeing my past acne teenagers come in with their own kids.

ARE THERE ANY NEW PROCEDURES OR TECHNOLOGIES THAT YOU OFFER? We have the new innovative Emsculpt machine, the first technology that builds muscle fibers while decreasing fat at the same time. Our office offers the full suite of body-shaping modalities on the market.

Paul Marciano, D.P.M., M.S. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR PARTICULAR SPECIALTY? I felt we could make positive changes in people's lives. In podiatry, you not only treat but also, in many cases, solve conditions of the foot and ankle either conservatively or surgically.

WHAT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN YOUR FIELD? A common misconception is that podiatrists don’t perform surgery. At Academy Foot & Ankle Specialists, our team of highly trained podiatrists perform surgery on the foot and ankle, as well as conservative care for all ages. Podiatrists treat everything from the ankle down, including the skin, ligaments, tendons, muscles and bone. Everything from ingrown nails to sports injuries. We always exhaust conservative options before opting for surgery.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE RECOGNIZED

BY YOUR NORTH TEXAS PEERS AS A TOP DOC? It is always an honor to be nominated by my peers. I am honored they entrust the care of their patients to me and my group of doctors in our five locations across DFW.

“I pride myself on educating patients on their condition and partnering with them in their care, treatment and prevention.”

“Youthful, more natural results that reflect how you feel on the inside.”

Jordan Rihani, M.D. WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR JOB? As a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I specialize exclusively in surgery of the face and neck. The most rewarding part of my job is helping people look and feel their best.

Whether it is a skin cancer reconstruction, a facelift, upper eyelid surgery, injectables or rhinoplasty, the impact can be quite substantial. I also love teaching and educating both patients and colleagues.

WHAT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN YOUR FIELD? Two misconceptions are probably 1) plastic surgery leaves you looking fake, or 2) surgery is the last or final step. As an injector and trainer, I understand the importance of volume, but also know that trying to do too much with injectables can indeed leave people looking overdone and not like themselves. As a result, the pendulum has swung back with more patients choosing surgery earlier and enjoying more youthful, natural results.

Matthew McCabe, D.P.M., M.S. WHAT IS YOUR HEALTH CARE PASSION, AND HOW DID YOU COME TO REALIZE IT? I found my passion for amputation prevention as a fellow. During my residency, our focus was on trauma and sports medicine.

I was exposed to advanced surgical techniques in amputation prevention as a fellow, and I found a real passion for this part of my practice.

WHAT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN YOUR FIELD? A podiatrist specializes in handling foot and ankle pathology, and this includes surgical intervention. We can take on cases as complicated as muscle flaps and total ankle replacements, as simple as toe fractures and hammer toes and everything in between. If it has a foot or an ankle, we’ll see it.

WHAT IS THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR JOB? The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to get to know the patients. I genuinely care about the people that I see and their well-being. I’ve learned a lot from them — my skills as a physician have grown exponentially because of our conversations and their honest feedback.

“Our mission is to improve health through personalized care.”

Connecting Through Literacy

onnecting with our families is the best part of working in a library. The mamas and the daddies coming in with their little ones for storytime reminds me of raising my own daughter right here in Southlake. Those were such sweet times. There were crazy times too, but that’s family life.

And it’s why a library is so important to a community. We are helping people build lives and connect with their neighbors.

Everything about the Southlake Public Library is customized for this community, from the collection titles to the programs we offer to the furniture and decor we have. Even the coffee bar is designed to be a tasting experience with unique blends from around the country. We really want this to be the community’s space to gather, relax and grow with each other.

The pandemic was hard on everyone, and it was challenging to be in public service during that time.

How did we help our customers and staff feel safe but still offer our services? Of course, I think we disinfected everything that stood still, but we also ventured into new territory. We were doing our storytime programs and lots of other creative ideas on video for the first time. That was new for me and my storytime partner, Ms. Heidi. Even our pets got into the act at home! Admittedly, they may have been even more popular than we were.

Now that we seem to be finally moving past this thing, we are excited to offer live programming in

the library once again. The energy of a dynamic library lifts up the whole staff and gives us such a strong sense of purpose. Everyone is glad to be back with an entire summer full of programs and activities. The response has been great, and it’s such a joyful place to be.

Before I began working in libraries, I had no idea how they worked behind the scenes. How do they get to know the community and what it needs? So much research goes into the collection decisions. Our librarians look at national publishing data and review Southlake’s specific reading trends to determine which titles and how many of those titles we need. They also look at Southlake’s demographics to make sure our collection reflects the cultures of those who live here. Reading trends also determine a lot of our program choices. The high demand for cookbooks led to our cooking classes. History and business book readers find programs that build on those interests. We also listen. Every comment, suggestion or request is essential to us. If we can say yes, we do. But we also evaluate customer feedback data to watch for significant trends that help us to improve.

Our goal at the Southlake Public Library is to see our community and serve it the way it wants to be served, with a bit of delight and surprise mixed in.

It’s why we say we have the best jobs in Southlake — but don’t tell anyone!

The Former Dragon Signs With The Houston Texans

fter getting his first taste of the game while in kindergarten, Carson Green fell in love with football. Joining the Dragon Youth football team as a first grader, the former Dragon made his way to Southlake Carroll’s varsity team where he played a decorated offensive lineman. After a successful college football career at A&M, Carson is now on track to play professionally with the Houston Texans.

I PLAYED… flag football in kindergarten. Since I was little, my goal was to play on the Southlake varsity football team. I grew up watching Greg McElroy, Justin Padron, Chase Daniel, Evan Brown, Trey Newton and Riley Dodge play at the state championship, and that was a goal for me and all my buddies to win one for Southlake. Obviously we didn’t accomplish that goal, but once I started getting recruited to play college football, I created new goals and playing in the NFL was one of them.

PLAYING IN KYLE FIELD… was a dream come true.

I had a blast getting to play all over the [Southeastern Conference] and around the country from the Rose Bowl in California to my last game at the Orange Bowl in Miami. I believe that football at A&M was the best in the state and one of the best in the country.

GETTING TO BE… a part of the seven [overtime] game against LSU in 2018 when the fans rushed the field will always be one of my favorite memories at Kyle Field. It was worth all the work I put in, and it was a great team win.

IT WAS A RELIEF… knowing that draft week was finally here, and I will know what city I will get to play for. The whole draft process was an experience of its own. The day after I landed in Texas from the Orange Bowl, I started training at Exos in Frisco and from then on it was working towards the Texas A&M Pro Day and meeting with NFL coaches [and] personnel on Zoom.

WATCHING THE DRAFT… on TV was a long day because I knew there were a handful of teams that were interested in me, and I had communicated with during the past few months. I am extremely happy that the Texans selected me and that I can stay in Texas to keep playing football.

50 • JUL 21

I NEVER TALKED TO… the coaches with the Texans, but I talked with scouts from the organization. Most of the conversations were short with questions on getting to know more about me and my family.

I AM FIRED UP… about getting to be a Texan.

I cannot wait to help the organization with anything that is asked of me. My parents were ecstatic for me to get to stay in Texas and be part of the Texans organization, and they are thrilled to be some of the biggest Texans fans now.

ROOKIE MINICAMP… was a great experience to get to meet all the new rookie class and start meeting some of the other players on the Texans.

SOUTHLAKE CONTRIBUTED A LOT… to my football success. The ‘TEAM me’ slogan that all varsity players wear before the game on their shirt showed [me] that you always put the team before yourself. Playing football in Southlake humbles because you are aware of all the D1 and NFL players that have gone through the program. The discipline that we learned through playing Dragon Football taught us all how to work hard and be a good teammate. I believe the 5th Quarter training program, with Robert Clayton, helped teach me how to outwork others. I improved my technique and footwork because of their offensive line instruction in the offseason.

I LOVE FOOTBALL… because it is a team sport that requires all 11 people to do their specific job in order to win the play. I love that it is a demanding sport where you must be tough and play through injuries to help the team win.

FRANK LUCCHESI'S TARRANT COUNTY LIFE

54 • JUL 21

SOUTHLAKESTYLE MAGAZINE

F

rank Lucchesi spent more than 40 years in organized baseball — as a player, coach and manager.

On three occasions, he managed Major League Baseball (MLB) teams: the Philadelphia Phillies (1970-1972), the Texas Rangers (1975-1977) and the Chicago Cubs (1987). Both at the major and minor league levels, Lucchesi was one of the game’s most respected minds.

When he retired from coaching, Lucchesi chose to make his home in Tarrant County. He spent the last quarter century of his life in Colleyville in a home he purchased for his family near Little Bear Creek.

When I put the word out on social media that I was writing about Frank Lucchesi, I heard from many people who ran into him over the years in Colleyville and its environs.

Time and again, I heard that he was fun, friendly and kind.

Despite his big league pedigree, Lucchesi was not the kind of person to “big league” anyone. He seemed to build an instant rapport with people who encountered him out and about on his errands, in baseball settings and at his many public speaking events.

“He was a first-class guy — a good family man, a good manager, respected by his players. He was a longtime baseball man who had the respect of everyone in baseball. And he was a good friend,” former Rangers general manager, four-time MLB All-Star and Fort Worth resident Eddie Robinson recalls.

For decades after Lucchesi left coaching, Robinson saw him at charity golf events and the many Major League Baseball alumni gatherings in the Metroplex.

“He had such a huge heart,” Karen Lucchesi, Frank’s daughter, says. “Whether they won or lost, he’d drive outside the gate at Arlington Stadium, pull over, roll down his window and he would sign every autograph, whether it was five kids or 75 kids,” remembering back to her childhood when her dad managed the Rangers.

“Frank was a very friendly, very outgoing, very positive, upbeat guy,” longtime Rangers beat writer T.R. Sullivan says of his friend.

The pair became acquainted in the late 1980s when Sullivan was covering the team for the “Fort Worth StarTelegram.” He would run into the recently retired Lucchesi around the Rangers’ ballpark. The two developed an immediate rapport over their shared knowledge and love of the Bay Area. Sullivan had attended the University of San Francisco and was well-acquainted with the region’s baseball history. For Frank, San Francisco was his hometown.

Lucchesi was born into a family of Italian immigrants in San Francisco in 1927 and raised in the city’s heavily Italian North Beach neighborhood. “Luke,” as he was known by his teammates, attended Galileo High, the same school as the DiMaggio brothers. Standing only 5’7”, Lucchesi made up for his size with tenaciousness, hustle and smarts. Frank was a standout outfielder at Galileo. After receiving an honorable discharge from the Army, Lucchesi signed on with the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League. The sense of determination “Luke” brought to the baseball diamond enabled him to earn a paycheck as a professional baseball player for 13 years. Though he never made it to the majors, Lucchesi hit a solid .277 for his minor league career and was a notoriously dangerous base stealer. Along the way, “Luke” met a pretty young brunette named Cathy Menotti in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who became his wife in 1954 and companion for the next 65 years.

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

A BIG LEAGUE MANAGER'S RETIREMENT IN COLLEYVILLE

BY CLAYTON TRUTOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE TEXAS RANGERS

The baseball smarts that “Luke” displayed did not go unnoticed. At age 23, “Lou,” as he came to be known in professional baseball, became the youngest manager in the history of the New York Yankees minor league system. He served as a player-manager for several seasons, initially with the Medford (Oregon) Rogues of the Far West League. Often in his early years as a manager, Lucchesi coached players who were older than him. Nevertheless, Lucchesi earned the reputation of a consummate teacher of the game who treated every one of his players as their own man. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Lucchesi turned team after team into winners, winning several league championships while employed by the Philadelphia Phillies organization.

“If you look at Frank’s minor league record, it’s very impressive. He’d coached a lot of those young Phillies who ended up being very successful — guys like Larry Bowa, Denny Doyle and Greg Luzinski,” Sullivan recalls.

“I remember that Frank was well liked by his players,” Bob Baillargeon says.

Baillargeon played for Lucchesi briefly in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in 1959. Decades later, Baillargeon, who ran a Ford dealership in Richardson, renewed his acquaintance with his former manager and the pair became friends.

“He expected performance and was fair. He was a young manager with a young family and the fans loved him,” Baillargeon says.

In 1970, Lucchesi finally got his shot in the big leagues, taking over as Phillies manager. Over the course of the next decade, “Lou” steered the ship for a pair of rebuilding franchises — the then-perennially sad sack Phillies and the Texas Rangers, who were still getting their bearings in Arlington.

“Frank was very popular in Philly,” Sullivan says. “When he got fired in Philly, the Philadelphia Italians were very upset. They took that hard. He’d been the manager there for two and a half years, and they didn’t think he got a fair shake.”

Lucchesi had a similarly short leash in Texas, losing his job midway through the Rangers’ tough 1977 season.

Despite the losing career record he posted as a major league manager (316-399), Lucchesi was highly regarded in baseball circles for his focus on player development, a willingness to give chances to young ballplayers and always having his players’ back. Both in the majors and the minors, Lucchesi got thrown out of more than a few

games defending his players and his team. “Lou” proved himself quite willing to get in an offending umpire’s face.

On one occasion in the minor leagues, he climbed a flagpole in Syracuse, New York, to protest an umpire’s call and refused to come down for 10 minutes until the ump agreed to reconsider.

Even when he wasn’t managing at the big league level, Lucchesi worked for several different major league franchises during the 1980s as an advance or special assignment scout. In 1990, Lucchesi finished his managerial career with the Nashville Sounds, the Cincinnati Reds’ AAA affiliate. Players in Nashville credited Lucchesi for the open line of communication he kept with them, meeting regularly with players one-on-one as he had throughout his managerial career.

Lucchesi first came to Tarrant County in 1974 after Billy Martin hired him to serve as the Rangers’ third base coach. In July 1975, Lucchesi took over for Martin, who was fired after Texas got off to a 44-51 start. The Rangers rallied for “Luke,” posting a 35-32 mark down the stretch that season. Lucchesi remained the Rangers’ manager until the middle of the 1977 season and maintained “He would read the newspaper a strong relationship with the club and just see a story that got to his even after he was fired. “Luke” heart and soul,” Karen Lucchesi returned in 1979 to serve as the says, remembering the often seemteam’s third base coach. ingly instinctive way that her father In 1976, Lucchesi moved his wife was looking out for his neighbors Cathy and three children to Arlingin the community, particularly chilton.

oth avid golfers and green drivers will love scooting around in the Garia SuperSport. Dubbed a golf car, not cart, this sleek model is street legal, has amenities for days and will ensure wherever you go, you do it in style.

This high-tech vehicle has it all: a touchscreen device that displays the scoreboard, a built-in refrigerator, a storage tray for golf balls and tees and much more. But the Garia SuperSport isn’t just confined to the green. As a street-legal, low-speed vehicle, you can drive this car up to 25 mph wherever the wind takes you. LED headlights will ensure the path is

clear while the leather lounge seats and Bluetooth capabilities keep you riding in style. And with a range of 50 miles per charge, a drive won’t be cut short by a low battery.

But don’t let all its chic features fool you. The Garia SuperSport is also safe, with a graphic vehicle information system that shows you current warning symbols and announcements, power consumption, remaining range and speed. The car also comes with a windshield that has a heater and a spray function, so you’ll always see the road ahead.

Whether you want to impress at the club or turn heads in your neighborhood, the Garia SuperSport is up to the challenge.

home STYLE Maximalism Magnificence

M

aximalism is having a moment. Eclectic spaces, bright colors and decor-lined shelves are where it’s at. Whether you decide to go big by introducing jewel tones into your space or start small by splurging on a loud statement piece, now is the time to ignore convention, celebrate your stuff and decorate to your heart’s galore.

INTRODUCING JEWEL TONES Color is a lynchpin to the maximalism style, so you can start with small touches like yellow throw pillows or a red entryway runner. For a more ambitious take, paint your kitchen cabinets a bright jewel tone — whether it’s a rich indigo or bright emerald. Adding color can also extend to your walls. If you have a blank space just waiting to be painted, go bold with a vibrant hue. From pillows to furniture to painting, there’s a multitude of ways to add pops of color to your home.

PATTERNS, TEXTURES, STYLES, OH MY The time for matching patterns is over. Give your inner designer more freedom to start playing with mixing various patterns, textures and styles. Start out by investing in velvet — whether it’s in a small way with a few barstools or in a big way with a couch. Or change out your curtains for a sheer pair that have textured details. No matter how you decide to mix, remember to embrace creativity.

SPLURGE ON A STATEMENT PIECE One way to start small with maximalism is to splurge on that fun piece of furniture you saw and just never bought.

It can be as fun as a chair that hangs from the ceiling or as simple as some funky side tables. Going big doesn’t have to be scary. If you have a set color theme in your home, embrace a comfy chair upholstered with the same color pattern. If a stunning chandelier is calling your name, give in and let that baby shine. Whatever fun piece of furniture you have your eye on, it’s time to buy.

Monarch Acts As A New Foodie Gem In Dallas’ Dining Scene

F

Monarch 1405 Elm St., 49th Floor Dallas 214.945.2222 MonarchRestaurants.com

68 • JUL 21

ew Dallas restaurants embody the glamor of dining quite like Monarch.

The Italian concept, located on the 49th floor of The National in Downtown Dallas, quickly became one of the hottest reservations in town thanks to its luxurious environment, dazzling views and exquisite cuisine. Led by two-time Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant, guests are sure to be transported as soon as they step off the elevator.

“The Dallas market has been on our radar for a long time, and finally we found the right partners and the perfect location to bring to life

our concept,” Grant says. “We have the best views in town, no doubt. It’s like dining in the clouds.”

By partnering with Dallas’ Todd Interests (a developer and award-winning real estate firm), Carroll Todd of Todd Interiors, the Simeone Deary Design Group and Heidi Lightner Architects, the 280-seat restaurant exudes sophistication. The combination of elements like the grand spiral staircase, floral-patterned wall coverings and a whimsical chandelier made of hand-formed metal and glass crystals produce an energy of elegance.

Monarch produces light and modern Italian fare in its open-concept kitchen. At the heart of

LOCALFLAVOR review

the restaurant lies its wood-fired hearth, adding what Grant calls a kiss by fire to its dishes, which enhances each ingredients’ flavor.

“This concept is everything I love about Italian food,” Grant says. “Less in the traditional sense, this menu isn’t heavy with red sauces and traditional Italian recipes. Instead, it features simple ingredients cooked in a light and fresh technique.”

Start out with a fresh sharable, like the wood oven-roasted giant prawns, which come out carefully charred and elevated with sea salt, salsa verde, cilantro, fennel pollen and Calabrian chili peppers.

Its raw bar selections highlight the quality of proteins available on Monarch’s menu. With options like Texas wagyu carpaccio — complete with arugula, charred lemon, black truffle, horseradish crema and served with a warm brioche — and yellowfin tuna tartare — served with cucumbers, dill, Meyer lemon, habanero, hearth oil and olive crunch, there’s a chilled favorite just waiting to be enjoyed. Turn your evening up a notch with the Ossetra Caviar Service, which includes crisp potato chips, warm potato blini, chives, egg and creme fraiche.

After warming up your palate, dive into one, or a few, of its stunning entrees. Its house pastas cater to a wide range of tastes. Whether you’re in the mood for rich flavors (try the short rib bolognese) or a classic with a twist (like the fire-roasted lasagna), there’s a dish waiting to be savored.

Bold yet simple flavors lie in its Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a 40-ounce porterhouse charred in the coals served with lemon, arugula, hearth olive oil and sea salt, as well as the salt-crusted whole fish, which comes stuffed with herbs and lemon. Enjoy more of the bounty found in the sea with its bronzed sea scallops, complete with conserved pepper arancini, morel mushroom, English peas and bacon cava sauce, as well as its Dover Sole, finished with lemon, spinach, chestnut mushroom, capers and brown butter. For a showstopper, order the live Alaskan king crab, which is prepared six different ways, for the table.

Regardless of your order, Monarch ensures that guests feel catered to throughout their entire dining experience.

“We want our guests to know they have come to a very special place and will be taken care of at the highest levels,” Grant says. “Our team loves to serve and truly enjoys making every guest feel special while they dine with us. The menu is great, the ambiance is incredible and there’s no shortage of moments to celebrate.”

Poke In Southlake

The Quick-Casual Eatery Brings Hawaiian-Inspired Cuisine To Southlake A new Hawaiian restaurant is popping up on Southlake Boulevard later this month. Founded in 2015 by brothers Michael Wu and Peter Yang, Pokeworks combines organic ingredients, creating dishes that boast a variety of bright and zesty flavors. Southlake franchise owner Jean Xue says she was first introduced to the concept through her daughter Lydia.

“The first time we tried their poke bowls, we were impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the tasty flavors,” Jean says. “I thought it would be awesome to have poke here in Southlake.”

Jean says guests can choose one of their fanfavorite dishes or “poke” through the menu to customize their order to their liking.

“What really drew me to Pokeworks was the simple and healthy food,” Jean says. “We offer guests an authentic taste of the islands with a fresh take on Hawaiian-inspired poke that can be completely customized using the highest quality ingredients.”

Guests start by choosing one of four different base options. Bowls can be packed with kale noodles, quinoa, organic brown or white rice or romaine lettuce, while burritos are wrapped in sushi rice and roasted seaweed. Next, guests select their preferred protein, whether it is shrimp, salmon, chicken, ahi tuna or organic tofu. Finally, they add mix-ins, which include 16 veggies, eight sauces and six crunch options like garlic, wonton and onion crisps.

If diners are feeling indecisive, Pokeworks’ signature menu has pre-made selections. Classic ahi tuna dishes such as the Hawaiian and the Umami add edamame, cucumbers and hijiki for an extra crunch, while the spicy ahi is made with sriracha aioli for an additional kick. The Sweet Ginger Chicken, meanwhile, is complemented by mandarin oranges and a spicy ginger sauce.

However diners choose to enjoy their meal, Jean thinks Southlake will fall in love with the fresh and healthy bites Pokeworks provides.

Finding Your Way Around Fort Worth

date NIGHT

a day at The Museum Families looking for a daytime summer activity should look no further than the Cultural District in Fort Worth. Anchored by The Museum of Modern Art, currently showcasing the “Sean Scully: The Shape of Ideas'' exhibition, this entertainment area houses a bounty of foodie havens — one of which can even be found on the museum's campus.

Load up the car, head west and check out these dining destinations.

It’s hard to take in works of art with an empty stomach. So before hitting the museum, stop by Blue Sushi Sake Grill, located across Camp Bowie Boulevard. Families looking for light shareables can enjoy an order of edamame while hungrier groups can split a few signature rolls. Adults will love the Crunchy LA — crab mix, avocado, cucumber, crispy panko and sweet chili sauce — while kids will love the little bento boxes. And no visit to Blue Sushi would be complete without a round of cocktails. Summer flavors can be found in the Coconut Breezy — mango rum, coconut, lime sour, Social Hibiscus and cucumber sparkling sake — and the Spritiz End — Awa Yuki sparkling sake, Aperol and yuzu juice. After a round of bites and drinks, you’ll be ready to take on the MoMA. BlueSushiSakeGrill.com

After filling up your cultural cup by wandering through the museum’s exhibits, replenish at Cafe Modern.

The restaurant reopened in May and is now led by executive chef Jett Mora, a longtime Wolfgang Puck Catering leader. The chic interior now offers an experimental menu full of dynamic dishes featuring bright ingredients. Lunch guests can start out their meal with a punch by ordering the chorizo-stuffed Medjool dates, which are accented with bacon, provolone, pimento pepper-tomato and grilled bread. Big flavors lie in the buttered mini po’boy sandwich, complete with crawfish salad with cajun remoulade, celery hearts, house-pickled seasonal vegetables and served on toasted rolls, while the Spring Bounty Farrotto — creamy farro, hon shimeji mushrooms, fava beans, spring onions, spring peas, radish and walnut pesto — lets the subtlety of the dish’s components shine. With both approachable plates and extravagant entrees, Cafe Modern’s delicious spread is sure to impress. TheModern.org/Cafe-Modern

Carved into high mountain walls with natural arroyos and rock formations, this 18-hole journey sits at 7,000 feet in elevation and weaves through native greenery, fresh vegetation and thousands of acres of protected land. Besides being an exhilarating golf course, Rainmakers Resort is also a conservation site home to several breeds of elk, deer, bobcats and even black bears. It is also the only golf course in New Mexico to earn signature sanctuary status by Audubon International, so preservation is just as important to this resort as getting a hole-in-one.

Cypress Point Club | Pebble Beach, California

Nicknamed “the Holy Trinity of Golf,” few golf courses are as well-respected or admired as the Cypress Point Club is on the West Coast. Created by world-renowned golf course designer Alister Mackenzie in August 1928, the Cypress Point Club is one of the most esteemed and exclusive golf clubs in the nation. Its 6,524-yard course stretches through coastal dunes and lush trees through the Del Monte Forest as it emerges into the beautiful aqua view of the rocky coastline. The course is well known for dramatic, challenging holes positioned alongside the Pacific Ocean. The trickiest of these is the 16th hole, which requires a 231-tee shot over the ocean and onto a mid-sized green that’s obscured by two sand bunkers. Regardless of the difficulty, this gargantuan golf course feels all the more satisfying when you finally conquer it. MontereyPeninsulaGolf.com

Oakmont Country Club | Oakmont, Pennsylvania

Known as one of the hardest golf courses in the nation, the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania has hosted more golf championships than any other course in the United States, including 11 U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships. Created by course designer Henry Fownes in 1903, the Oakmont Country Club is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States and was even designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

The golf course is packed with dubious terrain such as slick greens, tight fairways and 175 deep bunkers that slope away from the player. Seven of its holes are even separated from the course altogether by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, making its 18 holes some of the most challenging in existence. But with the U.S. Open scheduled to return to the course in 2025, the Oakmont Country Club will continue to be valued as a priceless gem in the sport of golf. Oakmont-CountryClub.org

Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has not one, not two but three exceptional golf courses you can enjoy on the island. The Robert Trent Jones Course provides stunning panoramic views, while the Arthur Hills Course balances its natural topography with an extensive lagoon network. But the most exciting of these courses comes in the George Fazio Course, the island’s only par-70 golf course. Its 6,873 yards feature long distances of Diamond Zoysia greens that test your hitting power as much as it does your accuracy and precision. But these courses aren’t the only places you can practice your stroke. The Toptracer Range also hones your skills through multiple virtual golf courses, and you can get guidance on any hole thanks to the Palmetto Dunes’ golf app. PalmettoDunes.com
