Turnberry Isle Golf Resort in Aventura

Several weeks ago I posted a story regarding the conflict between Turnberry and Presidential Holidays, it appears that the dispute was resolved or at least a settlement was reached. I came across an article in the Canadian Press explaining the plight of these two parties. The entire article is posted below.

Basically, the Turnberry Isle Resort & Club in Aventura, Florida will be the host of this year's LPGA Pro-Am and gain tremendous exposure and endorsement deals; while the Presidential Holidays Southeast will have to deal with over 500 pissed off customers that were looking forward to spending Passover at Turnberry in Aventura. You do the math!

These types of civil conflicts are the realities of business. I can almost guarantee that the total amount of money Turberry lost from their Passover reservations and the settlement is less than what they will earn by hosting the LPGA and the prestige that it brings to their new golf club. It's a numbers game; someone made the conscience decision to absorb the negative publicity of this lawsuit because the dollar value was to good to turn down.

At the end of the day, we're all in business to make money. I'm just glad my reservations weren't cancelled - it's always a pain to reschedule.

This tournament will put the City of Aventura on the map. I'm confident that most Aventura residents, local businesses, and real estate will benefit from Turnberry's decision.

LPGA IN FLORIDA:

The LPGA Tour finally worked out the details for its new tournament in South Florida, announcing Tuesday that the Stanford International Pro-Am will be played April 24-27 at Turnberry Isle Resort & Club in Aventura, Fla.
The $2-million tournament will be the first pro-am on the LPGA Tour since 2001.

Stanford Financial, the title sponsor, got involved in the LPGA beyond getting its name on the tournament. The company will make a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for every eagle made on the LPGA Tour, a program that it started last year on the PGA Tour when it took over title sponsorship in Memphis, Tenn.

It also signed an endorsement deal with Morgan Pressel, who joins a Stanford Financial stable that includes Vijay Singh, David Toms and Camilo Villegas.

The new event was held up by a scheduling conflict at Turnberry Isle.
The resort already had been booked that week by Presidential Holidays Southeast, which was hosting a Passover event for more than 500 Orthodox Jews. The Sun-Sentinel reported last week that Presidential Holidays received a financial settlement from the resort, and the Passover event will go somewhere else.

A Passion for Aventura Lifestyle

With Aventura being one of the top ranked cities offering quality
living, luxury real estate, and attracting upscale business, you
can expect the successful and wealthy to make this a top choice to
make their home. Beyond the 24hr service of living in an upscale condo and elite amenities, or being part of a waterfront community lies a fundamental drive for this lifestyle which the successful can attest to, and that is Passion. It is not just for how you live, but what you do in life and how you accumulate abundance and wealth. Successful people thrive on their passion (it’s a constant mindset) and follow their natural energy. They don’t have to forge on to work or feel dissatisfied with their career. Passion is a process rather than goals which are about outcomes. More and more society is seeing younger entrepreneurs. Kids are doing things that they truly enjoy without any judgments from the world, and then it becomes a million dollar passion. Passionate people are visionaries that blow their dreams out of proportion and engulf the lives of others and dare them to live theirs as well.
“Pursuit of passion is so basic and intimate to life.” (a quote from Dr.Hagrlin a world authority on unified quantum field theories). In the book The Passion Test by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. If you’re interested in what your passions are I suggest taking The Passion Test it will help you identify yours and put you on the road to a fulfilling life. It’s one that I use myself and for my clients that I coach.
