Created by the Nicklaus design team and incorporating the natural habitats of the island in its design and construction, this course is built around Cozumel's native trees, red mangroves, and natural wetlands in order to preserve ecologically sensitive areas. There are only three areas on the golf course where golfers playing another hole are visible, allowing the golfers to enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings. Upon arrival in Belize, we will anchor out only to be transported by tender to the dock in Belize. After a brief transfer to the local airport, we will depart via Maya Island Airlines for a brief and scenic 10-minute flight to the beautiful Island of Caye Chapel located just twelve miles off the coast of Belize. We will play at Caye Chapel Golf Resort which offers a picturesque setting with extraordinary views of the Caribbean Sea and barrier reef. We will take a few days off from on-course activities and visit Costa Maya and participate in on- board Soulful Golf activities while at sea. Last but not least, we will play Blue Shark Golf Course in Nassau, Bahamas. This brand new course opens later this summer - more details to follow.

Unto Whom Much Is Given...
Most of you are familiar with this powerful scripture that speaks to one's need to follow God's direction for our lives. I am respectfully announcing to the SG Scoop family my recent decision to join the faculty at the University of North Carolina. Having completed the arduous doctoral journey over the past few years, I have now been wonderfully blessed to receive the awesome opportunity to serve young scholars in Chapel Hill. I am elated to team with the outstanding leaders in the department of Exercise and Sport Science as a professor of Sport Administration. My work in Chapel Hill begins immediately so consequently I will have a new focus in my life. I have enjoyed every minute of the development of this non- profit company. I truly thank you for the opportunity to share the wonderful game of golf. Staying in tune with the philosophy of "life is too short" and "youth is wasted on the young," I will always seek that which promotes peace and joy. And this position truly aligns with my spirit and vision. I ask that all my fantastic golf lesson clients contact Joan Lovelace, PGA/LPGA teaching pro at Hobbit's Glen Golf Club (Columbia) to make scheduling arrangements. Joan can be reached at 410.730.5980 or at joan.lovelace@columbiaassociation.com. Your game must continue to improve; I want you participating in many Scramble tournaments in 2008! Note: I can still be reached by email at debby@soulfulgolf.com or at 888.668.8403 for all the details and to answer any questions. I remain committed to the development of SG. The journey continues...

Yours in Golf,

Debby
