ports in Jupiter don’t always look like packed bleachers or championship trophies. More often, they look like a sunrise paddle on the Intracoastal, kids piling into golf carts after baseball practice, a trip to the driving range with friends, or a casual tennis match that turns into a coffee date. Sports are woven into our days— before work, after school, between errands (and sometimes in flip-flops).

In this sports-centric issue of Jupiter Magazine, we embrace that ethos. You’ll meet local folks who compete at the highest levels but still call our area home, like Miami Marlins General Manager Clayton McCullough (page 60). You’ll read about youth sports programs like Cressey Sports Performance that are shaping confident, resilient athletes—and the parents and coaches who make it all happen (page 28). And in honor of Women’s History Month, you’ll meet three wonder women from Stuart who are setting the pace to hit some seriously strenuous running goals. Turn to page 66 for their tips on balance, recovery, and long-term health as an athlete (because let’s be honest, we’re not all training like we’re 25 anymore).

Surely you’ve noticed that our little slice of paradise has developed into a place that a leaderboard’s-worth of professional golfers call home. On any given day, you might be standing in line at Publix behind a PGA Tour pro or watching your kid’s golf lesson unfold a few bays down from LPGA golfer Dani Holmqvist. Don’t miss her story on page 34.

And let’s not forget about baseball. This month, Spring Training comes in like a fastball to five Major League Baseball team facilities across in Palm Beach County and Martin County. For us, these aren’t distant, televised games—they’re sunny afternoons in small-but-mighty stadiums, where fans mingle easily over hot dogs and beers. It’s big-league talent with a neighborhood feel. Check out our guide to this year’s spring training fever beginning on page 32.

Sports bring people together in a way few things can. You see it on sidelines (as you cheer from the foldable chair you hauled on to a field somewhere), in upscale clubhouses, at charity tournaments, and during those casual conversations that start with, “Did you catch the game?” It’s shared experience, effort, and joy. Life somehow feels a little simpler when everyone’s focused on the same goal, even for a moment. How lucky we are to live in a place where being active—and being a good sport—is such an integral part of everyday life.

Thanks, as always, for reading Jupiter Magazine. Now grab some sunscreen and hit the field, the links, the court—or whatever EHIND THE CENES sporting space you love most.

TRACEY BENSON

arch in Jupiter is a month of movement, momentum, and fresh inspiration.

As winter (such as it is) gives way to longer days and warmer evenings, our community comes alive with the unmistakable rhythm of spring. Baseball season returns to our area, bringing with it a sense of tradition, teamwork, and hometown pride. From afternoons at Roger Dean Stadium to youth leagues practicing under golden skies, there’s something timeless about the crack of the bat and the gathering of friends and families who make this sport such an integral part of life here.

Sports, at their core, are about discipline, design, and dedication—qualities that mirror the way we approach our homes and lifestyles. In this issue, we celebrate that connection. You’ll find stories that highlight not only the excitement of spring training season, but also the spaces we return to when the final inning ends: thoughtfully designed interiors that balance comfort with style, function with beauty. Whether it’s a living room designed for gathering after a game or a patio made for spring entertaining, our interiors coverage is inspired by how we truly live in Jupiter—active, elegant, and always connected to the outdoors.

As a reminder for those of you that have a business and are planning your marketing needs, in every issue we feature our Home Resource Guide, our Luxury Homes Real Estate Guide, plus opportunities in our Local Dining Guide for restaurateurs. In this issue (as well as in our July/ August) issue, we showcase our Private Education Guide for those of you looking for schooling options. Feel free to contact me for additional information and to discuss our digital and online opportunities, as well!

Here’s to a winning season, beautiful spaces, and all the moments that make March in Jupiter and northern Palm Beach county something special.

Warm regards,

or Lisa Pugliese-LaCroix, the tennis court is a place of possibilities. That’s why the former collegiate and Women’s Tennis Association player founded Love Serving Autism, a nonprofit tennis program for people with autism spectrum disorders. “I was working at the Palm Beach School for Autism as a speech and language therapist, and I noticed there were not a lot of after-school recreational programs,” says Pugliese-LaCroix. “My vision was to take my clinical experience from the classroom and work on those same skills on the tennis court.”

The North Palm Beach–based nonprofit launched in 2017; eventually the Florida division of the United States Tennis Association took notice. “They supported us as an adaptive tennis partner in addition to Special Olympics Florida. It really made a difference throughout the state,” says Pugliese-LaCroix. Help has also come in the form of grants, which make it possible to hire speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapists. “They come to the classes and create specific goals for each child, and then they track the progress against those goals,” Pugliese-LaCroix explains.

Love Serving Autism now runs more than 70 programs in 15 states, offering tennis and pickleball, plus the newly launched Rising Rackets—an early intervention program at the Palm Beach Gardens Tennis and Pickleball Center. “To see a non-speaking child be successful on the tennis court and see the smile on his face is what keeps me going,” says Pugliese-LaCroix.

PICKLEBALL POINTERS • WARM UP AND COOL DOWN “To avoid injuries, get a proper warm-up before you play. Do some dynamic stretching and running to get your muscles up to pace. After the game, do a cooldown stretch. Too many people jump on the court and start playing without being fully warmed up.”

tanding at 6 feet, 4 inches tall, Andrei Daescu cuts an intimidating figure on the pickleball court. Dubbed Andrei the Giant, Daescu started playing pickleball in 2017 after a shoulder injury curtailed his tennis career. Since then, the Romanian-born player has been steadily rising through the ranks of professional pickleball and is now ranked No. 3 in the world. When Daescu isn’t traveling to tournaments, the 38-year-old Palm Beach Gardens resident teaches pickleball at Ballen Isles. “Pickleball is super easy to learn, but not easy to master,” says Daescu.

• INVEST IN A GOOD PADDLE “A lot of paddles are poor quality, which is bad from an injury standpoint. People get tennis elbow or shoulder and wrist problems because the vibrations are too big.

Do your research and expect to pay $220 or more for a quality paddle.”

• KEEP THE BALL LOW “This is one of the most important aspects of the game. People often try to blast their way through, play too fast, and hit too hard. Long term, that’s not going to work.”

• TRY PRACTICE DRILLS “Drilling is how you become a better player. Drill on specific shots like dinking back and forth, volley to volley at the net, or serve and return.”

• JOIN A LEAGUE “Competition is extremely important and the best way to become a great player. The Palm Beach County Pickleball League has all the levels for amateurs.”

n any given day, visitors to Cressey Sports Performance in Palm Beach Gardens will see athletes like top tennis player Reilly Opelka and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Burchett training alongside San Francisco Giants pitcher Justin Verlander and pro golfer Matt Fitzpatrick. “It’s cool seeing relationships form with people from different sports,” says owner Eric Cressey.

“They borrow bits and pieces from each other, and they can bust each other’s chops. You see a lot of camaraderie emerge.”

Cressey opened his first location in 2007 in Hudson, Massachusetts. “We started getting some good steam in the baseball world,” he says. “Before we knew it, high school kids became college guys and college guys became pro guys. We had a lot of pro guys that were thrilled with their outcomes, but were not gung-ho about moving to Massachusetts for a cold snowy winter.” Cressey opened a second location in Jupiter in 2014, and moved his operation to Palm Beach Gardens in 2019.

Cressey also works with kids who dream of going pro. He says determining whether or not a young athlete has what it takes is dependent on many factors, not just athletic ability. “We

28

do an initial evaluation that is both objective and subjective,” he explains.

“We look at things like range of motion and movement quality, but we also talk with kids and their parents about the pressures they’re going to face. A lot of times it’s counseling them on what a long-term performance model looks like.”

Programs at Cressey are customized to each athlete, and objective measures are put in place to track progress. “I often joke that the single most important quantifiable number that you can look at is attendance,” says Cressey. “If they show up, they will get better.”

Cressey pinpoints ages 11 to 12 for kids to start training. “They’re a blank canvas, and they haven’t developed any bad habits,” he explains.

While many of the athletes who come through his facility end up playing at the college or professional levels, Cressey says it’s important to be realistic. He encourages parents of young children to expose them to a variety of sports to foster a positive relationship with exercise. “We know the overwhelming majority are not going Eric and Anna to play in the major leagues, so the last thing you Cressey, cowant to do is create this excessive pressure at a founders of Cressey Sports young age,” he says. “Sports should be all about Performance fun.” (cresseyperformance.com) —V.S.

height of figure skating’s fanfare during the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding drama. Known for her flexibility and showmanship, Bobek racked up career achievements that included making her Olympic debut (where she finished seventeenth), being crowned the U.S. National Champion in 1995, and winning bronze that same year at the World Championships. For a decade, she toured with Champions on Ice and felt like a rock star.

But eventually, Bobek’s ice began to thin. Her run came to an end in 2004. As a late-twentysomething living in New York City, she spiraled, got involved with the wrong crowd, and became addicted to drugs. Fast-forward five years: Bobek was arrested at her mom’s Tequesta home in 2009. Charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Hudson County, she was extradited to New Jersey. When she found herself in handcuffs and sat in jail for 11 days, Bobek had an epiphany that this was not the kind of life she wanted to lead; she soon took accountability to straighten things out.

After her release, Bobek moved back in with her mom and enrolled in aerial hoop classes in Miami to inZUMA PRESS, INC.

A

t 20 years old, Nicole Bobek had dedicated 17 years of her life to figure skating. She’d wake up early each morning to train for two hours before school and return to the rink each afternoon when classes were dismissed. The year was 1998, and figure skating was dominated by teens (and even preteens). As a 20-year-old, Bobek knew this was her last chance to fulfill her dream of representing the United States as an Olympian; it made no sense to pursue another four-year Olympic cycle.

As she stepped onto the ice for her freeskate at the 1998 U.S. Championships in Philadelphia, Bobek was ranked second after the short program with two of her fiercest competitors—Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan—still yet to skate.

Bobek knew she needed at least a third-place finish to earn an Olympic team spot; her dream came down to her 4-minute-and-10-second routine. Wearing a blue dress with gold embellishments, she checked the boxes skill by skill as she skated to a mash-up of “Invitation to Dance” and “Victory March” by Verdi. As she exited the ice and entered the area known as the “kiss and cry,” she sat between her coaches to await her scores. And then her dream became real: the numbers that flashed up on the screen were good enough to land Bobek in third place, earning her at spot on Team USA to compete in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan the following month. “It was an honor making the team I worked my whole life for,” she says.

Bobek first glided into America’s hearts as a blueeyed, golden-haired 13-yearold. She rose to fame at the

corporate acrobatics into her skating routines. She fell in love with an eighth-generation circus performer and literally ran off with the circus, touring Europe for seven years. She and her then-husband eventually settled in Hobe Sound and welcomed a son following an IVF journey.

Today, Bobek lives a wholesome life as a single mom in Lake Worth, where she recently moved to be closer to a rink. The 48-year-old enjoys teaching and consulting with skaters and playing with her 6-year-old son, who she says means so much more to her than any of the medals in her collection.

In her newly published memoir, Bobek: The Wild One, she bares all beyond the sequins, lace, and on-ice smiles. “It was therapeutic to let things go,” she says of the writing process. “It was important to deal with those emotions and cry a lot, laugh a lot.” Bobek says she worked with a writer and editor for six months to write the book. “It’s not your typical skating book.

The point is to show the consistency of not giving up. To keep going forward and surviving. It’s up to you how you want to lay the next brick down on your path of life.” (nicole-bobek.square.site) ❖

Stealing HOME Baseball’s warm-up act is also our hometown show—and with spring training underway at three local venues, there’s never been a better time to tune in and tag up

BY VALERIE STAGGS

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium “The Dean,” as it is affectionately known, has undergone a massive renovation—with new features ready just in time to greet its spring training crowds. “We have a new third base club with two levels,” says Mike Bauer, general manager. “The bottom level—called the Hot Corner—is a group space and social hangout with a 50-foot bar. The top level is the Champions Club, an elevated experience with a high-end food and beverage buffet, with fans, televisions, and shade, which is a premium in outdoor stadiums.” Additional new features include a 3,000-square-foot team store, grab-and-go food options, new video boards, and an upgraded sound system.

The Dean is the spring training home to both the Florida Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals; during the renovation, each team’s clubhouse was expanded 15,000 square feet. Teams now have access to hydrotherapy facilities, bigger weight rooms, additional training spaces, and cafeterias.

“As our players come into Jupiter, they are going to see a brand-new space that will invigorate the workout and development mindset,” says Jon Erik Alvarez, vice president of public relations and communications for the Florida Marlins. “That’s the philosophy we have taken into our roster as well—to focus on team development. We saw success in 2025, and we are looking forward to

continuing that in 2026.”

For their part, the Cardinals are equally excited for the upcoming season. “The Cardinals return a nucleus of talented young players led by Masyn Winn, Alec Burleson, Ivan Herrera and Matthew Liberatore,” says Brian Bartow, senior director of communications for the team.“ We have worked to fortify our talent pool this winter, acquiring some promising young pitchers, along with proven veterans who will help to bolster the team’s depth off the mound.” No doubt that this new crop of Cardinals talent will be excited to flock south to enjoy The Dean’s upgrades.

TEES UP THE SWEDISH GOLFER AND JUPITER RESIDENT SHOOTS STRAIGHT ABOUT HER LPGA CAREER, MARRIAGE, AND A NEW SIDE HUSTLE

She is certainly driven. But now, she won’t be going it entirely alone.

In March, she married local insurance executive Charles Schick at Mar-a-Lago. Schick and Holmqvist met online more than three years ago and say that everything felt “right” on their first date. Now, she’s at a place in her life where she is thinking about learning and doing something new—she’s already a level three sommelier and a helicopter pilot—in tandem with her golf career.

“I’m all about breaking the glass ceiling and pushing women—including myself—to break barriers,” she says.

Whatever she decides, she’ll bring the same determination to it as she has brought to the rest of her life. ❖

fter 11 years on the LPGA tour, Swedish golfer Dani Holmqvist still remembers just how eager she once was to turn pro. She was in the fifth grade when she told her parents about her dream of playing golf at a high level, but they insisted that she get a college degree first.

“I noticed that most of the professional golfers would go and play college golf in the U.S.; even the ones from Sweden would go over there and get a scholarship and all these things,” recalls Holmqvist, who is 37. “And they would come home in the summers and have all these cool college golf bags and everything with their schools on it. So, I enrolled myself in an English-speaking school in sixth grade and would take two buses and two trains by myself to get to school and get ready for college golf.”

When she reflects on what it took to get to the United States to play for the University of California Berkeley (and eventually the LPGA in 2014), she realizes just how hard it has been to come as far as she has; often on her own, and without the resources of her male counterparts. Yes, you can work hard and be mentally tough, but sometimes the ball doesn’t roll your way, as she knows all too well. At press time, Holmqvist had two career top-10 finishes and 12 career top-25 finishes to her name.

“Even when you actually make it on tour, it’s not easy,” she says, adding that she’s often traveling alone, in hotel rooms alone, waiting for her next flight alone.

“You have to play so well every week just to stay out there. You have to be driven to be out there, and I think that’s such a valuable lesson that I’m so grateful to go through.”

A Family Heals Together, Gives Back Together Joe Lubeck’s connection to Cleveland Clinic began years ago when his father needed complex surgery— and the best place to get it was Cleveland Clinic. Joe’s father underwent a major cardiac procedure and went on to live another 23 healthy years. Years later, Joe himself began experiencing heart complications. After multiple stents and worsening symptoms, Joe once again turned to Cleveland Clinic.

Today, Joe is grateful—not just for his recovery, but for the opportunity to give back. His family established a first-of-its-kind program to deepen clinical exchange and expertise between Cleveland Clinic’s Ohio and Florida cardiac teams. “They saved my life,” he says. “This is my way of making sure others have access to that same level of care.”

acqui Kapinowski shrugs off the challenges of competing in endurance sports. “We compete in challenges every day, in sports and just in life,” she says.

It’s a characteristically humble statement coming from the twotime Paralympian and founder of Shifting Gears United, a Tequesta-based nonprofit.

An avid runner since childhood, Kapinowski ran 19 marathons before she lost the use of her legs after two life-threatening bouts of bacterial meningitis. That’s when she shifted to Paralympic sports. She competed in curling, rowing, triathlon, and wheelchair racing, eventually earning a spot in the latter at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has also added to her marathon count, finishing an additional 71 marathons in her racing wheelchair and handcycle. In 2021, she was inducted into the Paralympic Sport Hall of Fame.

Kapinowski founded Shifting Gears United in 2019 to help people with mental, physical, and developmental disabilities.

The organization runs programs like adaptive water aerobics and handcycling, and funds basic necessities for people with disabilities. We caught up with Kapinowski to chat about her passion for sports, charity work, and life. (shiftinggearsunited.org) MARCH 2026

STRETCHING THE LIMITS

For everyone from athletes to the elderly, assisted stretching therapy can help you bend it before you break it

ABOVE: Assisted stretching—like the kind offered at Stretch Zone in Palm Beach and Martin counties—can increase mobility and flexibility. LEFT: Helen Martin of the Stretch Zone.

nwar Fuentes recalls the day a 94-year-old man in a wheelchair came into the Stretch Zone where he works as a manager. “His goal was just to be able to stand again,” says Fuentes.

“I worked with him for three months, three times a week. Now he is able to walk with a cane.”

Success stories like this one are driving record numbers of people through the doors of assisted stretching businesses like Stretch Zone. Helen Martin—the brand’s franchisee for Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties—was an early adopter of the business model. “I met the Stretch Zone founder [Joren Gold] in 2014, and he was talking about this idea of the flexibility market,” says Martin. “He said,‘When you go to a football game, the players have access to this. But it’s the 80,000 people in the stands that really need it.’ That was my ‘Aha!’ moment.”

Unlike stretching on your own, assisted stretching uses an external force—usually a practitioner like Fuentes’ hands or body weight—to help you move deeper and more safely into a stretch. The goal is to improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, and increase range of motion while keeping your body relaxed and supported. “A lot of times when people try to stretch themselves, another muscle gets involved, so they don’t get the full stretch,” Martin explains. Assisted stretching provides a deeper stretch than people can achieve on their own—which results in improved flexibility and range of motion.

Assisted stretching can benefit a wide range of people. Athletes often use it to improve performance, prevent injuries, and recover faster. People with more sedentary lifestyles may find it helpful to relieve stiffness caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture, or repetitive movements. Older adults or anyone experiencing limited mobility are ideal candidates, too, since assisted stretching provides a gentle and guided way to regain flexibility. “We have a lot of elderly people nervous about falling, but also about losing their independence,” Martin says. “I have people who tell me if they can continue to tie their own shoes, they can continue to live on their own.”

For Martin and Fuentes, the biggest reward is in helping people reach their goals. “A man came to us with sciatica and he was miserable,” says Martin. “We worked with him and six months later he took a walking tour with his family in Europe. We got postcards from him. It was awesome!” (stretchzone.com) ❖

Grab your board and catch a wave without a face full of sand and salt. Instead, learn to body board on a continuous simulated wave at the Rapids’ popular FlowRider (which moves 30,000 gallons of water per minute at 35 mph).

Beginners can learn to stay aboard, intermediate boarders can learn new tricks, and experienced rippers can show off their stoked styles. Prefer to have the waves to yourself? Call ahead to rent the FlowRider for private use for up to an hour for $250. (rapidswaterpark.com/attractions/flowrider) COURTESY OF RAPIDS WATER PARK

MAY THE COURSE BE WITH YOU Lighthouse Cove Adventure Golf, Jupiter

Designed with the spirit of a true golf course in mind, the 18-hole layout here eschews kitschy obstacles. Instead, it’s all about strategy, touch, and reading the greens—with rolling slopes and subtle undulations that reward patience and precision. Risk-and-reward shots tempt confident putters, while gentler lines keep the game welcoming for casual players and kids. It’s this balance that makes the course so engaging: seasoned golfers appreciate the thoughtful design, while first-timers enjoy the playful competition and scenic surroundings. With its adjacent ice cream counter and restaurant (we’re looking at you, 3 Scoops and Burger Shack), it’s a spot that’s ideal for lingering—making it easy to turn a round of mini golf into a full, sun-soaked outing. (lighthousecoveminigolf.com/jupiter)

A world of fun awaits at this indoor adventure park— complete with an arcade, laser tag, and more. But if you’re a speed demon like me, head straight to the indoor go-kart track. Elev8 offers custom races and equipment for kiddos as young as age 5. But for thrillseekers and competitive racers aged 14 and up, the Pro Race experience lets you race your friends headto-head, or work on your track technique solo. Slip into cutting-edge electric karts engineered for instant acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and real-time lap tracking—reaching speeds of up to 35 mph. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or lining up for a little friendly rivalry, this is high-octane fun. (Pro tip: splurge on the 3-pack of races for $60 … because once is never enough.)

Palm Beach Dramaworks –Theatre to Think About

Arthur Miller Archive at the Harry Ransom Center THE CRUCIBLE

By Arthur Miller Directed by William Hayes April 3-19, 2026 A masterful, riveting exploration of the 1692 Salem witch trials, this timeless and timely Tony Award-winning play is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee’s modern-day witch hunts. Convinced that witches are living among them, Salem is gripped by mass hysteria, paranoia, fear, and retribution, with neighbors turning on and turning in neighbors, and religious fervor turning a blind eye to justice. Miller considered The Crucible his finest play.

“It’s the awful waste that strikes you most powerfully: how easily a society wrecks itself once gripped by paranoia.”

— Financial Times (London)

“I visited the Miller Archive to see his research and discover anything I could about his work on The Crucible,” said PBD Producing Artistic Director William Hayes. “He had such conviction about writing the play, and I could see first-hand his determination and how much he struggled to get it right: I’ve never seen so many composition books and drafts of one piece. Miller was one of the greatest playwrights in American history, and being at the archive, touching these sacred documents, felt like a religious experience.”

ith more than 58 million participants in the U.S. last year alone, fishing is the most popular participant sport in the country—outshining 47 million golfers, 26 million tennis players, 14 million pickleballers, and 30 million ballers who are part of NU a basketball team (the latter being the country’s most ON JAS popular team sport).

Fishing is an activity on the rise for good reason. It’s something that one can take up as a 2-year-old and pursue for a lifetime, while continually improving one’s skills. It’s not tied to your net worth or your social standing. It brings families together—without barriers for boys or girls, young or MARCH 2026

old. Fishing with your family can create a sense of camaraderie, friendly competition, and a healthy respect for the environment, while providing fresh air, exercise, and even food for the table (if you’re lucky).

A study by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation in 2024 shows tremendous yearly growth in fishing’s popularity, while pointing out that families with young children are the key to growing participation. Importantly, the study also notes that when kids become connected to fishing, they grow up to be adults who appreciate the outdoors and advocates for environmental preservation.

If fishing interests you as a sport (or simply as a recreational pastime) and you’re not sure where to get started, numerous resources are available to point you in the right direction. Having a mentor to guide you in the beginning is a great way to flatten the learning curve, and since fishing is such a popular local activity, you may be able to find someone already in your circle who is engaged in the sport.

If not, the quickest path to learning the ins and outs of fishing can be found at the West Palm Beach Fishing Club. Founded in 1934, the organization serves all of South Florida (though most of its members live in Palm Beach and Martin counties).

“Fishing is an activity that transcends demographics,” says club president Tom “Buzz” Bzura. “We host tons of competitions, seminars, and give people the resources to learn.”

The club hosts monthly meetings, which feature expert speakers and instructors, as well as details on events and competitions and the chance to build a valuable network of friends to share information with and learn from. It also has a charitable arm—the Palm Beach County Fishing Foundation—which hosts a Kid’s Fishing Day annually to introduce underserved children to angling. It also has a Rods and Reels for Kids program, where gear is donated to youth groups, camps, and given away at community events

as a means to introduce kids to fishing, Bzura says.

One of the club’s most anticipated programs is its Saltwater Angling Lessons and Techniques for Youth (SALTY), a two-day program for kids between 12 and 15 years old plus an adult chaperone.

Scheduled this year for June 19-20, SALTY offers a day of hands-on instruction of techniques for offshore fishing, and a day fishing on the water. “The SALTY program is designed not only to get [kids] more excited about fishing itself, but to strength the bond between the kid and chaperone,” Bzura says. “When kids learn with their parents or their chaperone, it’s more likely they’ll stick with it together than when they learn alone.”

“Fishing is a healthy sport,” he continues. “It’s a healthy and convenient sport that once you learn it, you can hold onto it and participate for your entire life.” ❖

George LaBonte is a professional captain and a worldclass angler who has run a local charter fishing operation for 40 years. He has hosted acclaimed boating-related TV shows that aired nationally, as well as a popular radio show on ESPN. (edgesportfishing.com; youtube.com/@ georgelabonteoutdoors)

Norwegian Aqua, the debut vessel in Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCL) Prima Plus Class, ups the ante with a bigger build, sharper design, and next-level thrills. Ten percent larger than its Prima Class siblings, Aqua flexes more space, height, and flash—enhancing NCL’s colorful, modern megaship aesthetic.

Adrenaline takes the spotlight on Aqua’s upper decks, where innovation meets pure fun. The Aqua Slidecoaster (the world’s first hybrid roller coaster and waterslide at sea) blasts riders across three decks on dual tracks, twisting and turning with powered propulsion. Nearby, The Drop dares thrillseekers to plunge 10 stories in a near-vertical dry slide. Glow Court pulses with energy, serving as a next-gen sports arena by day— its LED floor adapting to the game—and transforming into a slick dance club after dark. For a different kind of buzz, the Aqua Game Zone channels retro arcade nostalgia alongside immersive VR challenges. Out in the fresh air, The Stadium brings Ping-Pong, foosball, and outdoor recreation into the mix, rounding out the ship’s full-throttle fun.

Balance the high-octane action in the adults-only Vibe Beach Club, where designforward loungers, a fabulous rooftop bar, and chilled cocktails overlook endless blue.

For a quieter escape, the Mandara Spa delivers with a two-story waterfall fronting warm and cool plunge pools, and a dreamy thermal suite featuring Finnish, Himalayan salt, charcoal, and clay saunas. Early risers looking to increase their step count onboard gravitate to Ocean Boulevard, which includes a cantilevered glass path for ogling the waves below.

PARADISE PERFECTED

WITH PRIME BEACHFRONT ACCESS, AQUATIC EXCESS, WORLD-CLASS DINING, AND RITUALS WORTHY OF ITS GILDED AGE ROOTS, THE ST. REGIS LONGBOAT KEY RESORT MAY BE FLORIDA’S MOST AMBITIOUS LUXURY PROPERTY YET

56

ising from 18 acres of Sarasota’s shoreline, the new St. Regis Longboat Key Resort feels less like a regional debut and more like a global statement: an escape firmly rooted in Florida sand but with the scope and polish of the Caribbean and Mexico’s finest. With just 166 rooms and suites privy to a 20,000-square-foot spa, seven dining and drinking venues, three pools, a winding river, a 500,000-gallon saltwater lagoon, and 800 feet of private quartz beach, it’s a rare U.S. property that functions as a fully self-contained destination reserved for the lucky few.

From the moment the towering glass doors swing open, it’s evident you’re entering a remix of the iconic St. Regis brand, one tailored to modern tropical cravings. In the double-height foyer, floral art climbs the walls and ceiling before directing all eyes toward the blues of the Gulf Coast, visible through glass at the far end. To the right, The St. Regis Bar announces itself with a dramatic mural-chandelier hybrid by William Savarese suspended above its oval counter; it’s an homage to Caroline Astor, the celebrated Gilded Age society hostess, flower devotee, and mother of St. Regis founder John Jacob Astor IV. Other thoughtful details abound: acrobat-inspired light fixtures recall Sarasota’s circus heritage, a player piano cycles through modern hits, and fireplaces cast a soft glow. The arrival feels both theatrical and warmly inviting.

Guest rooms continue the balance. Wide hallways lead to 140 rooms and 26 suites that lean city-sophisticated yet remain beachappropriate. Interiors pair grays, taupes, and marble with floor-toceiling glass doors and balconies that reflect the pools, sea, and bay views beyond. (Book an ocean-view suite for maximum experience.) In all accommodations, oversize marble bathrooms feature freestanding soaking tubs.

Outside, Longboat’s sugar-fine quartz shoreline beckons, as does a sprawling aquatic wonderland. Families cluster at the zero-entry resort pool, while couples retreat to the adults-only Serenity Pool shaded by Vilebrequin parasols and backed by a waterfall.

2/3/26 2:11 PM

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Room interiors balance beach vibes and St. Regis grandeur; amenities at the property’s next-gen super spa; outdoor seating at Riva restaurant; Champagne sabering on the beach, anyone?

A lazy river winds under bridges to private cabanas perched on islets and ends at a grotto with a spacious hot tub. A full-service beach club fulfills fantasies of sipping bubbles and eating ceviche with toes in the sand. Everywhere, small luxuries—SPF and aloe stations, drink coolers between loungers, and seat-side call buttons for butler or waiter service—underscore how thoroughly the resort anticipates the needs of its guests.

Near the pools, a saltwater lagoon with 3,000 fish and more than 50 stingrays adds life to the water world, as do resident Aldabra tortoises Jack and Rose, who emerge daily at 11 a.m. for lettuce and photo ops. This encounter is just one of many daily activities for guests, with dedicated lineups for children and adults alike. Think: sandcastle building and beach-bag decorating for the former, yoga and stretch classes for the latter, and snorkeling and marine biology talks to bring both together.

If the pool complex dazzles, the spa enthralls.

Conceived as a temple of water, The St. Regis Spa boasts a Finnish sauna, a eucalyptus steam room, a snow shower, vitality pools, sensorial showers, and a cold plunge; outdoors, an oceanfront vitality pool houses hydrotherapy pods with jets and overhead water massages. Even arrival here sets the spa apart: Guests are greeted at a Champagne Celebration Bar with complimentary pours or wellness shots before drifting into the hydrothermal circuit.

It’s a vortex that’s hard to leave, even with the beach and pools calling.

Dining carries a theme of individuality. Latininspired Aura spills out from its restaurant to poolside loungers, while Riva channels coastal Italy with an interactive pasta bar and terrace. Breakfast is equally memorable—I’m still thinking about the cappuccino bun with coffee glaze, one of the best pastries I’ve had in years. CW Prime, the signature steak house, delivers surf and turf excellence, commencing dinner with pillowy, herbinfused milk bread before presenting Josper-grilled cuts served with a choice of knives. Oshen, the rooftop Nikkei lounge, overlooks the

Gulf with colorful cocktails and crudos as captivating as the sunset.

At the heart of it all, The St. Regis Bar anchors the resort’s rituals, including afternoon tea, nightly Champagne sabering, and the Ca’ d’Zan Bloody Mary, served in Murano glassware evocative of Sarasota’s Venetian-style Ringling mansion. Back on the sand, the Monkey Bar nods to the legendary watering hole of the former Colony Hotel (which once occupied The St. Regis’ enviable swathe), though this version swaps live monkeys for tiki cocktails and sea views.

At every turn, it becomes evident that The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort is more than a beautiful new beachfront retreat; it’s a recalibration of what luxury on U.S. soil can be. Where else in America can you float in designer inner tubes by day, stroll barefoot on quartz sands in the afternoon, move through a 12-step hydrothermal circuit, witness Champagne sabering at dusk, and dine across seven standout venues—all without leaving the property? Having seen the St. Regis name interpreted across the globe, I can say this: Longboat Key is the brand at its most confident and compelling. It may just have you rethinking your next international flight in favor of an ultra-luxury resort experience closer to home. (marriott.com) ❖ MARCH 2026

A trip to Discovery Cove offers an appealing proposition: leave before sunrise, return by nightfall, and spend the hours in between getting up close and personal with dolphins, sloths, and more

rom the moment you pull into Discovery Cove, the usual Orlando soundtrack— whirring rides, shouted directions, whining in long lines—falls away. Here, there’s birdsong, rustling palms, and water lapping against sandy coves. This is a day designed to be savored, not scheduled. There’s no rush to “do it all;” only an invitation to enjoy what you choose.

And when it’s time to choose, Discovery Cove delivers, unfolding a series of carefully curated pleasures. At the popular Dolphin Lagoon, guests can enjoy an up-close encounter with playful dolphins—part of the park’s Signature Dolphin Swim package—that feels intimate rather than performative. Small groups wade into crystalline lagoons as trainers introduce each dolphin by name. There’s time to connect, to float, and to feel the unmistakable

58

thrill as a dolphin effortlessly glides beneath your hands (or as you ride along while holding a fin).

Professional photographers are on hand to capture the moment for posterity (or your Instagram story).

The Grand Reef—a one-million-gallon saltwater habitat—invites guests to snorkel alongside rays and schools of fish, while Serenity Bay offers much-needed adult chill time at white sandy beaches and 85-degree freshwater pools. On land, there’s Explorer’s Aviary, where hundreds of exotic, free-flying birds swoop in to gobble up tossed treats. Many of the smaller species will even alight onto your shoulders or hands (or head!) as you offer cups of sliced fruit and vegetables for the ultimate photo op.

Everything has been considered here.

Parking is free and ample, towel stations are nearly endless, snorkel gear and wet suits are at the ready, and animal-safe sun-

screen is on hand everywhere—no fuss, no extra charges.

Food and beverages are part of the all-inclusive admission; if you have kids in tow, they’ll quickly find their happy spot at one (or more) of the many snack stations offering unlimited soft pretzels and warm cookies, plus a variety of colorful slushies and soft-serve ice creams.

Arrive early and fuel up at the breakfast buffet.

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER MIAMI MARLINS MANAGER AND JUPITER RESIDENT CLAYTON MCCULLOUGH TALKS ABOUT HIS FAMILY, HIS FIRST YEAR IN FLORIDA, AND THE BEAUTY OF BLANK SLATES

aseball coaches face tough decisions every day. Should they send the runner or tell him to stay put? Should they ride out a pitcher’s rough inning or dial the bullpen for a fresharmed reliever? Should they leave a perennial World Series contender to manage the Miami Marlins, a team that lost 100 games in 2024?

If you’re former Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough, the answer to that last question is yes.

“It was important to me to work with people I had a shared vision and philosophy with,” says McCullough, who lives in Jupiter with his family. “I understood there were going to be challenges here in Miami that were going to be unique and that was exciting. It wasn’t a case of there only being 30 jobs like this, so it’s hard to say no. As things started to line up, I felt like if I was going to take a shot at doing this, it was the right time and the right place to go do that.”

And the good news is that once McCullough went all-in with the Marlins, the team exceeded expectations. It only dropped 83 games in 2025 and finished third in the National League East.

It even came pretty darn close to nabbing a Wild Card spot in the playoffs, after winning seven of its last ten games. President of baseball operations Peter Bendix has said that he’s excited about the club’s trajectory now that McCullough is at the helm and building a winning culture. McCullough, meanwhile, loves what he saw from his team in his first year as coach.

“My favorite thing about this team was their resiliency,” McCullough says.

At Roger Dean Stadium, McCullough is all business in the dugout. But the MLB manager also takes time to savor the role with his son, Kyle.

“We started the 2025 season with a walk-off win, and we had some moments that weren’t great, but this team never stopped competing. They never stopped playing. We would be down in a game and come back and play to the very last out and get knocked down on the mat. But we picked ourselves back up and got back into the fight. I’m incredibly proud of that because that kind of resiliency and toughness is what it takes to get through a regular season and ultimately win in the postseason.”

Baseball has always been in McCullough’s blood. Born in Greenville, North Carolina, McCullough grew up on or near

62

baseball diamonds. His father, Howard, was a college baseball coach who joined the Boston Red Sox as a scout in the 1980s.

A traveling dad was a fact of life, and his mother did everything she could to keep the family connected. Soon, McCullough would follow in his father’s footsteps, playing baseball at Eastern Carolina University before being drafted by Cleveland prior to graduation.

In college, he was a catcher who batted a respectable .272. As a pro, McCullough struggled to make contact at the plate. After a couple of years of playing in the minor leagues, he decided to pursue other career opportunities in the sport.

“I wasn’t a very good player,” he says. “I was fairly realistic after my second or third year in the minor leagues, that my chances of playing the major leagues were very slim. I could have kept playing and coming back for another year and getting limited opportunities. But I was 25 and I had some college left to finish, and I knew I wanted to stay in baseball. Going back to school would open up a potential avenue for me to coach and give back and stay in the game as a livelihood I was really interested in.”

McCullough’s manager, Luis Rivera, had already seen his

potential as a manager and began including him in coaching conversations. Armed with Rivera’s wisdom, McCullough returned to Eastern Carolina as a volunteer coach while he finished his degree. Then he went to work for the Toronto Blue Jays organization for the next seven years. While coaching for the Lansing Lugnuts, an Oakland Athletics affiliate, he met his wife Jill, who was also working for the team. The couple married in 2012. Once they paid off student loans and their car note, they decided to live the itinerant baseball life, eventually choosing Jupiter, where Jill’s parents lived, as a home base.

“We’re both very family-oriented people, and we were about to have our first child,” Jill says. “We knew bringing in a new baby, especially with him in the baseball world traveling and on the go, that we wanted to be near one of our families.”

Soon after they moved to Jupiter, McCullough got a job with the Los Angeles Dodgers. As the couple’s family grew to include two more children—their brood includes 11-year-old Carson, 8-year-old Kyle, and 6-year-old Quinn—McCullough

acknowledges that the periods of separation could be difficult.

Like McCullough, Jill understood what it was like to have a father on the road for periods of time, as her father was a pilot.

Communication, she says, has been key.

“Cell phones make a big difference,” she says. “So, we have FaceTime and phone calls, and we never go too long without knowing when we are going to see each other next. And we’re definitely on the same page with our values and the way we want to raise our family.”

McCullough says Jill used to pack up the family and bring them to California during the summer until the beginning of the school year. Though their upbringing has involved a lot of travel and change, McCullough says the kids have handled it well.

“My wife is a superhero,” he says. “She does all the heavy lifting.”

Coaching in Miami has made it easier to spend more time with his family. Jill likes that they no longer have to go as long

without seeing each other now. And when the kids start missing their father, she says there’s always a friend of family member who can drive them down to the 305 for a game. Knowing your father is there for you is important when you’re young, she says.

“He’s a great dad,” Jill says. “When he comes home in the off season,

he wants to be at everything. He just wants to be Dad. And he’s the biggest Disney Dad, too. Any time he can take the kids to a Disney park, he loves that, and he relishes that time we spend together there.”

As he looks ahead to the 2026 season, McCullough is eager to continue coaxing the best out of his young squad.

“When I started here, we had a blank slate,” he says. “A blank canvas can be beautiful, and we had the opportunity as a group to, you know, draw this and paint this in any way we wanted. We didn’t have to follow anyone else’s path. We didn’t have to do anything just because it’s traditionally been done that way. And I mean, that’s fun, right?”

It’s also exciting. McCullough has the Marlins believing in themselves and hungry to go out and improve every day. No one knows what year two of McCullough’s tenure will look like, or whether the postseason might be in the cards this time. Everyone knows that the only thing they can do is take things one game at a time.

“Let’s just worry about today,” he says. “We’re all in this together just trying to move this thing forward. What others say about us does not define what we’re going to end up being.”

If the Marlins—and McCullough—defy the naysayers and keep racking up victories big and small, they might just be end up being champions. ❖

FUELED BY GRIT, GRACE, AND RELENTLESS MOTION, THREE FIERCE FEMALES FROM MARTIN COUNTY PROVE IT’S NEVER TOO LATE, TOO HARD, OR TOO AMBITIOUS TO CHASE THE FINISH LINE

Chelsea Hollingsworth-Barnhill CHASING AN OLYMPIC DREAM

S

ports have been part of Chelsea Hollingsworth-Barnhill’s life since childhood. “I was a yearround swimmer and a yearround basketball player doing lots of sports every day after school,” she says. “I would go from swim practice to basketball practice.” Little did she know that a knee injury sustained in middle school would set her on a course to be the highly accomplished runner and triathlete she is today.

The injury in question was due to a condition called trochlear dysplasia,

66

commonly referred to as an unstable kneecap. “My kneecap is more susceptible to sliding out of place,” she explains. “Basketball was a lot of sideto-side movement.” But running—a sport without lateral movement—was safer. So in high school, HollingsworthBarnhill swapped basketball for running, where she excelled; eventually she was awarded a collegiate running scholarship to East Carolina University. She ran crosscountry and track throughout her college career while earning a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology in 2014 and a

MARCH 2026

066_FEAT_WOMEN RUN_0326.indd 66

2/3/26 2:51 PM

doctorate in physical therapy in 2017.

While studying for her doctorate, Hollingsworth-Barnhill was finally able to grasp the underlying issue with her knee. “There was a flag football team, so I joined that. The third game in, I had a pretty significant knee injury,” she says. As a physical therapy student, she was now able to understand her knee condition and find some treatments for how to manage her injuries (which eventually sidelined her from running, too). “Having it taken away, I realized how much I loved running. I knew when I was able to come back to running, I wanted to see how far I could go in the sport.”

In 2017, Hollingsworth-Barnhill landed a physical therapy position in Stuart and moved from North Carolina to Florida. Two months later, she met her husband Kurt through the local running community. He encouraged her to race more. “I had raced during school, but I started racing more frequently,” she says. Her future husband soon learned she could swim too. “He said, ‘You can run, and you can swim? You just need to get on a bike and do triathlons.’”

So she borrowed an old road bike and started training.

Hollingsworth-Barnhill’s first triathlon was the 2018 Chasing Caterpillars Triathlon in Stuart. She enjoyed the race but wanted to focus on achieving her goal of running a marathon. She ran the Tamoka Marathon in Ormond Beach in 2019 and surprised even herself with her performance. “My initial goal was to go under three hours,” she says. “I ran a 2:52 which put me only seven minutes away from the Olympic trials standard for the 2020 Olympics in the marathon.”

Hollingsworth-Barnhill began focusing on marathon training, and, in late 2019, she posted a time that qualified her for the 2020 Olympic trials. “It was literally a dream come true coming from my knee injury to

reaching that goal,” she says. In early 2020, she competed with just over 500 women for a place on the Olympic marathon team.

“Being on that stage with the best runners in the world in the marathon distance, there was a sense of both imposter syndrome and excitement,” she recalls. Although she fell short of qualifying for the Olympics, Hollingsworth-Barnhill says the race was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Since then, the Palm City resident has pursued both marathon racing and triathlon racing. In 2021, she finished her first Ironman race in Panama City. She won the overall female amateur title and surprised herself by qualifying for the 2022 Kona World Championship. “I had never done something that long before, so I went in with the mindset just to finish,” she says.

While she went on to compete at Kona, the race did not go well. She completed the swim and the bike leg of the triathlon strong, but on mile 16 of the marathon, she overheated. “I started throwing up and feeling lightheaded. It became one of those races where you just want to get to the finish line,” she says. Other racers rallied around her encouraging her to take a few more steps. “It was a race that technically didn’t go well, but one of the races I am most proud of.”

Today Hollingsworth-Barnhill focuses on half-Ironman competitions and marathons. She is planning a marathon in May and a half-Ironman towards the end of this year. As much as she loves running, she is equally passionate about her career as a physical therapist. “Not being able to do something you love, whether its sports or picking up your grandchildren, whatever it is that you love, I understand the importance of still being able to do that activity.

That’s something that drives me as a therapist—understanding what my clients love and what I can do to help them get back to doing what they love.”

Doctor’s Orders As a physical therapist, Chelsea Hollingsworth-Barnhill encourages athletes to practice self-care. Here are her tips on staying fit and healthy.

GET ENOUGH SLEEP: “Try to get yourself on a consistent sleep routine. Sleep is when the body recovers itself the most, and it’s the No. 1 performance enhancing tool. Typically, you want 7 to 9 hours of sleep.”

FUEL UP: “Endurance athletes can find it challenging to get in enough calories of carbs, protein, and fat. Food is very important for recovery. Seeking out a sports dietician can be helpful in learning how to get enough calories.”

WARM UP: “I know it can be hard for people who must train really early in the morning, but I would rather you knock off a mile from your run and take 5-10 minutes to warm up.

A proper warm-up allows the blood flow to get to your muscles and get some movement especially after being asleep.”

COOL DOWN: “Elevating your legs and getting the blood flowing back to your heart is helpful. Do some gentle stretches, or use a foam roller and definitely eat within the first 30 minutes of finishing your workout.”

DESTRESS: “Try to find ways to lower your stress. Some people like prayer, meditation, or reading, just having an opportunity even if it’s 10 minutes to get your stress level down. Stress is going to take a toll on your body.”

A wide smile lights up her face as she grabs the finish line ribbon, raising it triumphantly over her head.

to compete, Copeland had just finished the Great World Race—a marathon challenge consisting of seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

“I saw an ad [for the race], and I reached out to the owner and said ‘I hear you are doing this race in January. Do you have a waitlist?’”

Copeland recalls. The race did have a waitlist, but in December Copeland got an email telling her she had been added to the roster.

“I had to pack my clothes and get on a plane to Capetown at the end of January. So, I wasn’t

We have a big running community here in Stuart. Any day you can find people to run with if you want to.”

as prepared as other people.” True to her nature, Copeland entered the race determined to enjoy yet another incredible running adventure. “I was very relaxed and just very happy to be there,” she says.

A graduate of Florida State University (FSU), the Jensen Beach native was a trapeze artist in the FSU Flying High Circus as a student. “After college, I tried to go off and join the circus, but I decided that I needed to get a real job,” laughs Copeland.

She became an accountant. Running became a way for her to unwind after sitting at a desk all day. In 1985, she met her husband, Jim, who was training for an Ironman Triathlon. The couple bonded over their love of running and adventure. “We ended up getting married and had adventures all over the world running in triathlons since then,” Copeland says.

Her first major race was the Disney Marathon in 1997. She qualified for the Boston Marathon and competed in Boston the following year. In 2000, she completed her first Ironman Triathlon in Panama City, Florida.

Since then, she has gone on to run 80 marathons and complete 15 Ironman races. Now, at 66 years old, Copeland has been running for almost three decades. Her love for the sport is matched only by her love of travel and adventure. One of her most memorable races was a 100-mile stage race in the Himalayas. “Over five days, we ran 100 miles up through the mountains,” says Copeland.

“It was definitely one of my all-time favorite places to go. It was beautiful.”

Along the way, Copeland has encountered her fair share of hurdles. The day after finishing the Great World Race last February, doctors found a sarcoma in her leg. She underwent four operations with

— LAURIE COPELAND skin grafts to remove the sarcoma. “That put a damper on my 2025 racing schedule because I had to go through rehab,” she says. “I have to go back every three months and make sure that the cancer is not coming back, but I seem to be doing pretty good.” Copeland sat on the sidelines to heal for three months, but by May of last year she was back training for a marathon at the North Pole. “We went in on an icebreaker ship. It took us five days to get there through the ice,” says Copeland.

“Then they had to find a block of ice that was big enough for a marathon course. We did 50 laps.” Asked how a Floridian trains for a race on ice, Copeland is characteristically nonchalant. “It just all works out.

Running in the slush is like running in the soft sand.”

While Copeland has accomplished more than most runners can even dream of, she has many more races on her bucket list. At press time, she was training for the Long Haul 100, a 100-mile-long race at Colt Creek State Park in Lakeland. This year she is registered for marathons in Little Rock, Arkansas; Missoula, Montana; London; and Cape Town—plus the Boston Marathon again in April and the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii in October.

Eventually Copeland would like to run a marathon in all 50 states (she has 18 left).

Running can be a solitary sport, but Copeland runs with several Martin Countybased groups. “We have a big running community here in Stuart. Any day you can find people to run with if you want to,” she says.

“We just have such a great time, and we motivate and challenge each other. I think what really keeps me running more than anything is my friends. They are the best!”

Who Runs the World?

Laurie Copeland shares her highlights from seven continents.

AFRICA: “Africa is hot! I ran in the summer, and I think their ozone layer is very thin. The people are very nice. I love Africa, and I’m planning to go back.”

ANTARCTICA: “If you can make it to Antarctica, those marathons are really stunning. Kind of like being in the desert, but being cold.”

AUSTRALIA: “New Zealand and Australia are incredibly beautiful, and the people are very outdoorsy.”

ASIA: “I ran in Tokyo. The people are so polite that when you race there, they don’t really clap. It was a very quiet race, which was interesting.”

EUROPE: “I have done a bunch of races in Europe. Racing in Europe is very competitive. The Europeans race hard and there are not a lot of women racing.”

NORTH AMERICA: “There are endless racing opportunities in North America from small to big races. The big ones like New York City, Boston, and Chicago with 50,000 people are really exciting, but the small races can be just as fun.”

SOUTH AMERICA: “Part of the Great World Race was in Fortaleza, Brazil. It started at six in the morning, and all the running clubs were all out running. There were thousands of runners who weren’t racing. They were just out for their Sunday morning run. They are really into running there.”

Debra Daley FROM MOM TO MARATHONER

A

mother of five, Debra Daley spent a lot of time pushing a baby carriage near her Indianapolis home when her kids were young. Seeing how many miles Daley logged just walking, a neighbor suggested she up her pace to running. “My neighbor was a runner. She saw me walking my kids all the time and going for walks,” recalls Daley, 58. “She told me ‘I’m tired of watching you walk everywhere.

Why don’t you start running?’”

Taking her neighbor’s advice, Daley started running in 2005.

Initially, Daley thought running was not something she could do.

Her previous athletic pursuits had focused on ballet and yoga.

70

“I went to George Washington University, and I was a walk-on for their dance company for four years,” says Daley. “After that, I became a yoga teacher.” Running was vastly different from dance and yoga. “I told my neighbor I couldn’t run because it was too hard. She told me to slow down. It turns out I was sprinting,” Daley laughs. “I just didn’t think I was a runner. I thought runners didn’t get tired. I had no clue.”

Once she adjusted her pace, Daley discovered that she loved running. “Running really spoke to me. It made me happy, calmed me down, and got me on an even keel,” she says. “As long as I got my run in, the whole family was happy.”

MARCH 2026

066_FEAT_WOMEN RUN_0326.indd 70

2/3/26 2:51 PM

“

As long as I got my run in, the whole family was happy.”

In 2007, Daley and her family moved to Florida. Her first race was the 2009 Race for the Pies in Tequesta. “I did terribly, but I enjoyed it. It was nice to run with other people.” A few weeks later, she did a half marathon and shortly after that, she ran her first marathon. “I just wanted to see how it would go,” says Daley.

In 2010, she decided to get serious and she trained for the Palm Beaches Marathon.

“My co-worker watched me crying coming across the finish line. My pace group leader had dropped me, and I was running on fumes,” recalls Daley. Nonetheless, she posted a good enough time to qualify for the Boston Marathon. “I realized I was a pretty good runner, and I kept trying to get faster after that.”

Daley skipped the Boston Marathon that year, choosing instead to do her first triathlon. “I was a lifeguard in high school, so I figured I could swim and I really like bike riding,” says Daley. She entered the 2010 Florida Atlantic University Wellness Triathlon. “It was in the ocean, and I was totally unprepared. Everyone else had a wetsuit on. I came out of the water shaking,” she recalls. “I didn’t realize you had to train to swim.” Despite her lack of training, Daley finished fourth. “I figured I was a pretty good triathlete, especially if I practiced a little bit.”

Training as a mom of five wasn’t easy.

Daley got up early in the morning to train or stayed up late at night to get her hours in. Fortunately, she was able to connect with Heather Gollnick, a professional triathlete who worked at Club Med. “Heather showed up at one of our group rides, and we started training with her,” says Daley.

“She was probably three years younger than I was, and my jaw would drop when

— DEBRA DALEY I saw what she could do while holding down a job. She also had three kids.”

Inspired by Gollnick, Daley started training harder and competing in more triathlons. She completed two half Ironman races and qualified for the 2011 Ironman World Championship—and has qualified for the event every year since. It’s no small feat. With the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run, it has long been considered the most consequential race in the world of triathlons.

This past October, Daley competed in the 2025 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, her twelfth Ironman race.

“In 2025, I have done a full Ironman and a half Ironman. I have done a sprint distance triathlon and an international as well,” says Daley. “I did all four distances that year, and I qualified for the Boston Marathon again. I met all my goals.”

Daley has new goals for 2026. “I am planning to race the Boston Marathon this year,” she says. “I am thinking of racing Ironman Cozumel and then do a couple of half Ironman races. The World Championship will be in North America this year, so I will want to qualify and race in North America.”

Daley and her fiancé, Mark, a physical therapist, race together. These days, Daley’s weekly workout consists of four days of running, three days of swimming and two to three days of biking. She has learned to give herself a break now and then, though.

“You have to know your body well enough that if you keep going when you are super tired, you will dig a hole and you won’t be able to get out of it,” says Daley. “Yesterday I took the whole day off which is shocking to some people.” Decades from the days of her sprinting around her Indianapolis neighborhood, it seems that Daley has now learned to find her pace. ❖

From Weekend Warrior to Top Tier Triathlete Debra Daley offers her advice on making and conquering new running goals.

FIND A RUNNING GROUP: “There are a lot of running groups in the area. You can find them on Facebook or tcrunning.org or at Fleet Feet in Stuart,” (where Daley works).

“Being in a group is advantageous to people showing up more regularly.”

DON’T RUN EVERY DAY: “Give your body time to get used to the idea of running.

Anyone who is going to fail is going to be trying to do something every day. I always suggest only running twice a week or three times a week.”

HAVE A GOAL: “If you are going to do a race, have a goal in mind. It gives you motivation to get out the door to train for that race.”

FOCUS ON FINISHING: “If you build up to it and you want to run a marathon, I always suggest you work to finish the marathon, not do it for time the first time out.”

DON’T OBSESS: “As a triathlete, it’s hard to obsess about three sports at the same time. It kind of makes you uncomfortable with all three of them, so you can’t get bogged down. It just seems like a healthier lifestyle to have three sports.”

immy Buffet loved Freeman Boatworks power catamarans. Back in 2020, the beloved singer commissioned the South Carolina yard to build him a special 42-footer that he customized with a pilothouse (because Buffet famously hated to be cold and wet). He called it Last Mango after his yacht rock anthem, “Last Mango in Paris.”

Buffett would have loved the Freeman 28 for its searing 60-plus mph top speed, its flatsfishing features like a 16-inch draft and multitude of livewells, plus its bait tanks, its fish boxes, and its sheltered helm. This is the smallest, and most affordable, of the Freeman cats. Yet it has all the quality of construction, the fit and finish, and lavish fishing-focused feature list of the bigger models.

Take your pick from either Mercury 300 Racing Verados

or Yamaha 350s for eye-watering performance. Those twin hulls and the generous 10-foot beam make for terrific stability at speed or rest. And for the times you’re not wetting a line, comfy seating in the bow and at the helm makes the 28 a perfect sandbar boat or sunset cruiser when it’s five o’clock somewhere. (freemanboatworks.com)

t’s hard to believe that the much-loved, lean mean fishing machine that is the Regulator 28 center console was first introduced way back in 2011. But it’s not hard to believe that this rugged, well-constructed 28-footer continues to be Edenton, North Carolina–based Regulator’s best-selling center console. Sales are likely to only increase when production of the much-improved 2026 model ramp up. Top features include a switch to a pair of bracketmounted 350 hp Yamaha V8s as standard—upping power by 100 hp compared to the previous 28. Seakeeper Ride automatic trim tabs are now also standard.

Build-wise, the hull gets a new cap design with more defined toe rails on the extra-wide gunwales for added sure-footedness, while the T-top gets a new forward air vent and integrated grab handles.

AND FAMILY FUN

resh out of the mold, Cobia’s feature-packed 245 CC is the new first rung on the Cobia center console model ladder, sitting just below the 265 CC. Priced from $161,515 with a single Yamaha 300, it’s one terrific, well-priced, high-style fisher.

Fort Pierce–based Cobia, a division of the Maverick Boat Group, dates back to 1959 when it was founded in Orlando. Before being acquired by Maverick, it was owned by Yamaha. That’s a lot of boat-building experience—and it shows in this new, easily trailerable 245 CC, which does a great job of blending fishability with family fun. For the serious FACT FILE angler, there’s a 30-gallon livewell, a side tuna door, dedicated tackle storage, and endless rod holders.

For the family, there’s a drop-down cockpit seat and roomy U-shaped forward seating area with a lift-up console seat that leads down to a head. Check the options box for the Seakeeper gyro stabilizer for noroll anchoring.

While the single 300 is the standard outboard, also on offer is a Yamaha 350, or twin 150s—all with the option of joystick control. With the twins, expect a top speed of 45 mph. (cobiaboats.com)

hen you want to fish in comfort and pampered luxury, GradyWhite’s new Freedom 415 is the gold standard. Did we mention the air-conditioned helm, the standard Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer, and the cockpit wet bar with Dekton sintered stone countertops? Plus a cozy cabin with a 24-inch flat-screen TV? Here is what’s reckoned to be the largest outboard-powered dual console ever built. It borrows much of its angling DNA from Grady-White’s benchmark Canyon 456 bluewater center console with its smooth-riding SeaV2 hull design. Only here, however, you get the benefit of a fully protected, hard-topped enclosure with wraparound windows and a comfy dinette.

Fishing features include twin livewells, 22-foot outriggers, four rocket launchers, and endless rod holders all around the cockpit. For family fun, there’s a huge bow seating area with an easy walk-through from the helm, and a pair of mirror-varnished tables. It’s speedy too: with its quartet of Yamaha XTO Offshore 450 V8s, you’ll reach top speeds of 60 mph … or relax and cruise at 30 mph. (gradywhite.com)

A ou’d think that Pursuit’s brand-new S BO T 388 center console would measure 38 feet, 8 inches bow to stern, right? Wrong. It’s actually 41 feet, 1 inch. Confusing, but this is the second-largest model in Fort Pierce– based Pursuit’s Sport range—a model that replaces the popular S 378 and sits below the flagship S 429 (which, in case you’re wondering, measures 43 feet, 9 inches).

Here is a terrific, high-luxury, big-catchchaser with a truly distinctive style. We love the in-hull windows, the racy, swept-back windshield, and the extended hardtop. Other perks? A surprisingly spacious cabin with a convertible double bed, head, and separate shower. With this new S 388, Pursuit has also added massive amounts of storage (up a whopping 93 percent over the previous model). The fish boxes are

FACT FILE now much deeper than previous models, and there are more rod holders, more tackle storage, and more cold storage. Don’t miss the classy, high-gloss teak accents—especially below deck—that heighten the upscale look. A trio of 450 hp Yamaha XTOs punches the S 388 to a 59 mph top speed, while throttling back to 30 mph gives a 352-mile range. (pursuitboats.com)

he word hybrid might have you conjuring up an image of a fuelsipping Prius running on a mix of gas and battery power. But in the case of Valhalla’s brand-new V-29 Hybrid, the term refers to its ability to feel right at home fishing either a shallow bay, coastal estuary, or 60 miles offshore in the roiling Atlantic.

This hardcore center console fishing machine is truly a dream machine for any serious angler. Featuring the patented stepped-V ventilated tunnel running surface from the drawing board of Michael Peters Yacht Design, this wonderhull rides super-smooth, with reduced drag, increased speed and excellent fuel efficiency.

Engine options include twin Mercury 225 hp V6s, twin Mercury 300 Verado V8s, or twin Yamaha 300 V6s; the V-29 should comfortably hit 55 mph with the twin 300s, and cruise economically at close to 40. With a 180-gallon tank, getting to and from your favorite fishing hole should be a breeze.

As Valhalla is part of the New Jersey–based Viking sportfisher juggernaut, the quality and craftsmanship of this new V-29 is a cut above. Case in point? Those “looks just like teak” forward toe rails and steering wheelbase, along with the Bentley-esque diamond-quilted upholstery. (valhallaboatworks.com)

or a 26-footer, this brand-new Blackfin 262HB packs a huge punch. Designed to be just as adept at handling big seas 50 miles offshore as it is negotiating the skinny shallows of Jupiter Inlet, the Blackfin blends performance, fishing functionality, and real comfort. The headliner is its smooth-riding Twin Step hull design, which helps give it a 50 mph top speed, plus the ability to stay on the plane from as low as 17 mph. Throw in a 17-inch draft with the standard Mercury 350 hp V10 motor tilted, and the 262 can go where others fear to tread.

It’s obviously been designed by true fishermen. Just look at the dual 30-gallon aft live wells, the twin aerated 5-gallon port and starboard wells, the wide and sure-footed bow and stern casting decks, plus the multitude of storage drawers and lockers.

It has an impressively designed center console too, with the option of an upper helm, along with the sturdy hardtop frame integrated into the console itself. There’s also a toilet/storage compartment at the front, though the fact that the bottom-hinged panel folds forward is a little odd. In addition to that 350 Merc, there’s the option of a 400 hp V10 for some real high-speed thrills. (blackfinboats.com)

ehold the world’s biggest center console outboard fishing boat: the Scout 670 LXS. There are not enough superlatives in the angling lexicon to describe this South Carolina–built monster. Stretching a massive 67 feet from pointy bow to angled stern, and over 16 feet across, the Scout is powered by a quintet of 600 hp Mercury Verado V12s for a total of 3,000 horsepower. We gazed in amazement as we saw 60 mph flash up on the Garmin screen during a test drive.

It makes a spectacular fishing machine with its massive cockpit and deep side decks. And screaming across to Bimini or your favorite Bahamas fishing spot has to be a blast. But the 670 LXS is also about luxury with its Ritz-Carlton suite– like cabin. All this luxury doesn’t come cheap. Think around $6.8 million (or $7.5 million loaded). The upcoming flybridge model will no doubt set you back even more. As for owning the ultimate outboardpowered center console? Priceless. (scoutboats.com)

Edward J. Welch Esq. is the founder of Welch Law, PLLC, a Jupiter-based estate planning and wealth strategy firm serving individuals, families, and business owners throughout Palm Beach County. His practice focuses on sophisticated estate planning, asset protection, business succession, and tax-efficient wealth transfer, with an emphasis on clarity, discretion, and long-term strategy.

Welch earned his undergraduate degree from Boston University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law. He brings a disciplined, detail-driven approach to estate planning, combining technical trust knowledge with a practical understanding of family dynamics and complex financial structures. Clients value his ability to translate complicated legal concepts into actionable plans that work in the real world.

A recognized leader in modern estate planning, Welch has developed advanced strategies addressing digital assets and cryptocurrency, helping clients protect access to

wallets, exchanges, and digital credentials while maintaining privacy and fiduciary control. As digital wealth becomes an increasingly significant part of family balance sheets, Welch is frequently consulted on how to integrate emerging assets into traditional estate plans and frequently contributes to national outlets discussing cryptocurrency.

Beyond his legal practice, Welch and his family are deeply involved in the local community. He serves as co-chair on the planned giving counsel of Place of Hope, a nonprofit supporting children affected by abuse, neglect, and homelessness, and remains active in charitable and civic initiatives throughout the Jupiter area. Welch’s wife, Dr. Arghavan Welch, is a premier orthodontist. They are the proud parents of two daughters that attend the Benjamin School.

Welch Law delivers big-firm sophistication with the responsiveness of a boutique practice— because effective estate planning demands both precision and perspective.

THE BAR

Bianca Fathauer of Splendid Home Design in Stuart transformed this once-underutilized sitting room into a glamorous watering hole dubbed The Gilded Monkey. “The clients adore bold style and entertaining, so the idea was to create a showstopping experience where you could pour a drink and instantly feel transported,” Fathauer says. The designer reimagined the space around a custom island wrapped in black shagreen topped with Calacatta Gold marble. She swathed the walls in hand-applied gold leaf. Cabinetry

in black with brass accents features mirrored back panels that reflect the glow from the Sputnik chandelier. Fathauer installed glass shelves in front of the window to treat the clients’ liquor collection as a curated art display, and finished the space with barware, sculptural pieces, touches of brass, and accessories styled

by Fathauer’s colleague, Sandra O’Neill. “I love creating small spaces with oversized personalities, and this bar encapsulates that perfectly,” she says. (splendidhomedesign.com) —Kerry Shorr

ATTACK

A DESIGNER REENVISIONS A PALM BEACH GARDENS HOME WHERE THE ART IS IMPRESSIVE AND THE VIBE IS EASY

BY KERRY SHORR

D

oing the little things well builds trust and delivers meaningful dividends over time. This proved true for Piper Gonzalez of Piper Gonzalez Designs and a client couple she met at the 2015 Red Cross Designers’ Show House in Palm Beach, where she was one of 20 designers invited to transform the island’s legendary “Birthday Cake Castle.” “[The clients] came in with a group of ladies, some of whom were existing clients. They called me afterward because they were trying to light some art in their home in Mirasol [in Palm Beach Gardens],” Gonzalez remembers.

“We came up with some really out-of-the-box concepts I don’t think they were expecting.”

That level of creativity and trust, she says, led to a broader refresh; the husband and wife

96

retained her to update the furnishings and design new built-ins in the home.

But it wasn’t long before the couple— who also owned a larger spread in Cherry Hill, New Jersey—reached out again. “They planned to sell their property up north and were looking for a primary residence in [Mirasol’s] Via Verde community,” Gonzalez says. “The question was how much of their art collection it could fit.”

Envelopes soon arrived at Gonzalez’s office filled with photographs cataloging the clients’ collection of artwork ranging from glass in every medium to mixed media to folk art and Judaica. “These pieces are so personal to them; they can tell you the artist’s name as well as the history behind each one,” she adds. “And they’re still collecting.”

The clients, who have two children, four grandchildren, and an active entertaining calendar, wanted their new home to showcase their art collection without reading like a gallery. Ultimately, they settled on a palm-studded, 3,835-square-foot Tuscan-style residence with three bedrooms, three and a

@NATIVEHOUSEPHOTOGRAPHY

Selections from the couple’s art collection ground every room in the house, including a vibrant diptych in the living room (above), mixed media in the foyer (below), and handblown glassware in the open kitchen and family room (left).

Artwork takes a more subtle role in the primary bedroom (below), where a chinoiserie bedspread inspired a pair of mural commissions in the primary bath (top left and right), lending the suite an organic aura.

half baths, an office, two garages, a covered lanai, and a pool.

Gonzalez got to work on plans for the new space, which included expanding the primary bedroom to create a spacious en suite bathroom, adding square footage to accommodate an office, and modifying the kitchen’s footprint. Then she turned her eye to updating details: for example, a Tuscan tumbled marble floor mosaic was replaced with a white oak inlay that echoes the silhouette of the home’s natural arches. “When you’re renovating, it’s important to maintain a sense of intention,” Gonzalez says. “Even if something isn’t original, it should give off the impression it was built that way.” With mostly Jerusalem stone flooring throughout, the light hardwood would be resilient enough for heavy foot traffic and the occasional toddler tornado.

Next, she took on the challenging but exhilarating task of balancing each room with signature acquisitions by prolific and pioneering artists, including Ivana Šrámková, Stephanie Trenchard, Charlie Miner, and Hunt Slonem. In the foyer, where the ceiling soars 16 feet high, she featured the couple’s collage-encapsulated installation by glass artist Therman Statom—creating a moment of pause and foreshadowing the curatorial gems farther inside.

In the living room, where a substantial portion of the owners’ fine-art canon is exhibited, Gonzalez installed floor-toceiling sheers so sunlight could naturally

illuminate museum-worthy selections like Mary Van Cline’s Healing Passages of Time, a Chan cocktail table, and Philip and Kelvin LaVerne’s Bathers sideboard. On an accent wall once dominated by a heavy cast-stone fireplace, Gladys Nilsson’s striking diptych Léger Faire, is tucked between built-ins that display additional art and decorative objects.

Art also steals the spotlight in the primary bath. A pair of custom mosaic murals from New Ravenna lends a botanical flair to the back wall and walk-in shower, while Robert Palusky’s whimsical sculpture stands sentry beside the freestanding soaking tub.

More sculpture arrests the eye in the family

room with pieces strategically placed near windows, drawing the gaze outward to the lanai and bucolic vistas beyond. The couple’s most personal pieces and heirlooms were reserved for the master bedroom, which was elevated into an intimate retreat with grid-patterned walls painted a moody blue reminiscent of a midnight tide.

When the project wrapped, Gonzalez wasn’t on-site for the big reveal, but she knew her clients were smitten. “They absolutely loved it,” she says. “It was everything they wanted: a warm, hospitable home where art is lived with and never seen as too precious or untouchable.” (pipergonzalezdesigns.com) ❖ MARCH 2026

SOPHIA PASSERINI Since moving to South Florida in 2017 and opening Passerini Atelier & Interiors (first a 1,800-square-foot design center in Abacoa and now a 3,000-square-foot space in Jupiter), Sophia Passerini designs residences using an approach that integrates Italian craftsmanship. The result? Meticulously edited spaces that preserve each home’s architectural integrity.

Born in Venice, Italy, the interior designer is known for layering intricately crafted furnishings, bespoke millwork, and one-of-akind stone and plaster finishes. Her “Made in Italy” furnishings catalog comprises more than 2,500 pieces crafted by Bel Paese artisans with whom she has cultivated decades-long relationships. (passerini.com) —K.S.

(HE)ART OF GLASS To channel la dolce vita, Passerini sets her table with handblown Murano glassware in a variety of colors. She calls these Nason & Moretti Dandy wine glasses “instant conversation starters.”

STONE’S THROW When Passerini wants to elevate an indoor-outdoor setting, she turns to ocean-blue travertine—an exceptionally rare limestone that feels luxurious without being “too showy.”

Canal. “Everything is beautifully preserved,” she marvels, “including the inner courtyard and the marble mosaic flooring that sets up a never-ending game of geometries.”

THE CHERRY POPPER BURGER ISLAND BURGER AND SHAKE, FORT PIERCE

KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE

This must-try take on the smashburger trend is made with Wagyu smash patties topped with jam made from cherries, bacon, and onion, plus pickled red onions, candied jalapeños, pimento cheese, crispy potato sticks, and a drizzle of spicy mayo on a butter-grilled bun. It’s bold, sloppy, and absolutely crave-worthy.

Pro tip: Add a caramel-laced churro shake (complete with an actual churro for dipping) and a side of truffle fries and thank me later. (islandburgerandshake.com) –Kristen Desmond LeFevre

But Seahawk Prime already makes a strong case on its own.

LUNCH BREAK

If you’re craving a trip to Paris at lunchtime (but simply can’t make it fit your work schedule) Le Molière French Café, Bakery & Deli in North Palm Beach is your fix. Whether you linger over a café au lait at the high-top counter inside, find a place at the café tables outside to nosh on a salad, or grab a sandwich to-go, this charming spot serves up authentic Parisian flair and flavor (no passport required).

Among the sandwiches, do not miss the Le Nordique: smoked salmon, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, hard-boiled egg slices, and a zingy lemon crème fraîche tucked into a perfect housemade baguette. Rich yet balanced, it’s a classic that’ll have you saying, “C’est magnifique!” with every bite. If salads are more your speed, opt for the La Mer: a mix of tuna, butter lettuce, eggs, and sweet onions that’s a delightful play on the classic salade Niçoise.

And don’t skip dessert—this is where Le Molière really gets très délicieux.

Whether it’s a bright and tangy lemon tart, a creamy Napoleon, or a rich and nutty Chocolate Royale, each bite is a little taste of Parisian charm—and the perfect excuse to practice your accent when you exclaim, “Bon appétit.” (instagram.com/lemolierecafebakery) –K.D.L.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more enchanting escape than Sucré, a jewel-box of a bakery situated just off the main drag in historic downtown Stuart. From the moment you step inside, the scent of freshly baked dough and warm butter greets you like a hug. There’s a rich array of sweet treat choices here (all baked fresh every morning), but the star of the show is Sucré’s signature croissants, with fillings ranging from bright lemon-blueberry with almond to decadent Belgian chocolate.

Equally noteworthy are Sucré’s more-thanample cinnamon rolls—a sticky, comforting treat that pairs perfectly with a steaming latte. Savor the sweetness at the spot’s quaint outdoor seating area, or grab a treat to go as you stroll along the nearby Stuart Riverwalk (and work off a few calories).

PI DAY Two Ways You don’t have to be a math whiz to celebrate Pi Day honoring the mathematical constant π (pi). It’s observed on March 14 (3/14) as a nod to pi’s first three digits (3.14). From sweet to savory, here are two ways to join in on the fun.

–Kristen Desmond LeFevre SWEET Key Lime Pie Kirchman Key Lime Co. These pies may just be Stuart’s best-kept sweet secret. Started by sisters (and sixth-generation Floridians) Rachael and Olivia Kirchman in 2024, the brand began as a side hustle. Soon, the duo produced such perfect pies that—even now—demand often outstrips supply. Want to beat the clamoring crowds? Stay tuned to their website and social channels for their next drop (including a much-anticipated Pi Day popup). Or find them regularly stocked at Sunset Sliders in Stuart. Either way, these creamy, tart confections—with just the right crunch and saltiness of crust for balance—are sure to sell out time and again. (kirchmankeylimeco.com)

in 1947 and renamed it the Martin County Golf & Country Club. Although it was always meant to eventually be an 18-hole course, the other nine holes didn’t open until 1963.

The county expanded the course twice after that, bringing it to 36 holes by 1990. John Sandford designed the course renovations completed in 2020 for the renamed Sailfish Sands Golf Course—which remains one of the few public golf courses on the Treasure Coast today.

MARTIN COUNTY oday, Martin County is home to nearly 30 golf courses. But the very first golf course in the area opened on Jupiter Island in 1916. It was one of several improvements around this time, along with the first bridge and the Island Inn (now known as the Jupiter Island Club). William Angas oversaw its development on behalf of the Indian River Association, a group of English investors who owned most of the island. The original ninehole course remained in use during several changes in ownership, until it was bought

by Joseph Reed’s Hobe Sound Company.

During World War II, military officers at nearby Camp Murphy were allowed to use the course.

Dick Webel designed the course’s expansion to 18 holes, completed in 1957.

It remains in use today as part of the private Jupiter Island Club.

In 1925, the St. Lucie River Country Club opened a nine-hole course designed by William Langford. Local resident and amateur golfer Hugh An aerial view of Martin County Willoughby Jr. supervised Golf Club, circa construction. Martin Coun1960 ty purchased the course

eminole Golf Club was the first golf course in northern Palm Beach County.

Donald Ross, a popular and prolific golf course designer, designed the greens in 1929, utilizing the site’s natural landscape, including two sand ridges. A common misconception is that nearby Donald Ross Road is named in his honor. Instead, the road memorializes a local serviceman who died in World War II. Dick Wilson, Bill Coore, and Ben Crenshaw designed later renovations to the private, 18hole course.

The Jupiter area lacked any golf courses until Charles Martyn began developing the Tequesta Country Club—opening in 1957 and designed by Dick Wilson. As part of the grand opening, professional golfers Arnold Palmer, Dow Finsterwald, Truman Connell, and Jack Kurtz played an exhibition match.

Tommy Fazio renovated the course in 2013.

Jupiter itself didn’t get its first golf facility until 1968. That year, Matt Moore opened a small public golf course called Set-n-Sun on Loxahatchee River Road. The venue only lasted about a decade; it was subsequently redeveloped as a residential subdivision of the same name. The Toney Penna Golf Company also opened in 1968. Named after its pro golf owner and located on the street renamed in his honor, the company manufactured golf clubs. Penna invited several prominent friends as guests to the grand opening: Gov. Claude Kirk and entertainers Perry Como and Bob Hope. ❖ Josh Liller is the historian and collections manager for the Loxahatchee River Historical Society, a nonprofit organization that operates Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum.
