10 jili cc com BOCA RATON, Fla. , Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boca Woods Country Club is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newly redesigned Woods golf course. This momentous occasion took place on Sunday, December 8th at 12:00 PM , with a celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony marking the culmination of a remarkable $9M transformation that has captivated the attention of golf enthusiasts far and wide. More than 450 Members and distinguished guests from industry and government joined the Club for the ribbon cutting ceremony, cocktails and hors d' oeuvres. Attendees included PGA Junior Club Members standing aside past Club Presidents, sharing a commitment to excellence demonstrated by the investment to fully renovate the Woods Course. The ceremony concluded with the presentation of a lifetime Boca Woods Country Club Membership accepted by Rees Jones . The outcome of this extensive renovation: a formidable championship golf course, meticulously designed by the renowned Rees Jones and delivered through the craftsmanship of LaBar Golf. Stretching to a maximum yardage of 7,043 yards, the course boasts key risk/reward decisions for the experienced golfer while offering better playable options for those less experienced. Some key highlights of the renovation include: " The Woods course is now a true championship layout, playing to a maximum yardage of 7,043 yards." Said Jeff Gullett , Director of Golf. He continued, " Rees Jones has incorporated a combination of green complexes and bunkering that will test every golfer's ability. We are confident that our Members will be delighted with the results." The Woods golf course offers an inspired blend of challenging greens and strategically placed bunkers, promising to test the mettle of even the most seasoned golfers. The harmonious fusion of design elements guarantees a truly exceptional and unforgettable round of golf. What truly distinguishes the Woods course is its serene and secluded setting. Nestled away from the luxury homes that dot the community, the course immerses players in the tranquility of South Florida's nature, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. " Bryce Swanson and I are pleased that the Woods Course at Boca Woods is reopening on time and on budget. The redesign of the golf course enhances the course's playability, strategy, and variety. The remodeled golf course will provide an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience for the Members and their guests on a continuing basis. It has been a pleasure to work with all involved in this project," said Rees Jones . This renovation is particularly significant due to Boca Woods' unique position in the golfing world. With 36 holes of championship golf and a limited Membership of only 590 golfers, Boca Woods provides an unparalleled level of exclusivity and access. The newly renovated Woods course further solidifies the club's reputation as a golfer's paradise, offering a rare combination of world-class amenities and a close-knit community of passionate enthusiasts. " It is amazing to witness the evolution taking place at this Club." Says David Sweet, General Manager/ COO. He continues, "In the last four years, Members have supported the development of modern amenities: a new Clubhouse with state-of-the-art virtual meeting spaces, a sports and wellness complex that offers 10,000 sq ft of fitness, modern racquet sports facilities including lights for night play, and now this championship course developed in partnership with the best names in the business. Rees has left his mark on Boca Woods, and the Club's future is bright!" Central to the course's allure is the masterful touch of Rees Jones , whose design philosophy seamlessly integrates the natural beauty of the surroundings with the strategic demands of the game. The result is a golfing experience that is both visually captivating and intellectually stimulating. "The Rees Jones' update to our Woods Course is inspirational. Coupled with renovations designed by Kipp Schulties on the Lakes Course, we offer a small community of players a wide range of golfing opportunities. As President of Boca Woods, I am proud of what we accomplished and the time frame we worked within. We listened to our players: men and women, scratch players and weekenders... the result is 36 holes of magnificent golf course architecture that challenges the best and offers playable options for every level. Our demographics say it all (reference the generations photo), and there are tee boxes for every player at every age to enjoy. Boca Woods is setting the standard" said Howard Mittleman , Board President for Boca Woods Country Club. The renovation of the Woods golf course represents a substantial investment in elevating the club's amenities, ensuring Members have exceptional golf experiences. The comprehensive project followed a $14.5M building and facilities renovation.

Earlier this year, on February 11th to be precise, Denver International Airport (DIA) celebrated Blucifer's 16th birthday with the following X post . However, there was something of a fiery response from users, some calling for the sculpture to be removed, and others calling it satanic. The airport has long been the focus of many conspiracy theories, some involving the rearing blue stallion. "That’s the entrance to the tunnel filled with lizard people / politicians," said one user in the thread, referring to rumors of secret tunnels beneath the airport. Indeed, Denver International has been speculated to have been the Illuminati headquarters since its construction. The sculpture, which gained the nickname 'Blucifer' among Denver residents, was installed after a tumultuous creative process, and cost over twice as much as was planned. CPR News (Colorado Public Radio) reported in the following piece , that the artist, Luis Jiménez, died two years prior when part of the statue fell on him. As a result, some call the sculpture cursed, and when you look at Blucifer, it's easy to see why. It is certainly striking, but what was the artist's intention when creating this statue? How did it come to be blue? Why do its eyes glow red? Most importantly, do any of the conspiracy theories about Denver International hold water? To learn the answers to these questions, read on and join me for a deep dive into Blucifer and Denver International Masonic temp - *ahem* - Airport. The most reviled resident of Colorado Springs? As it turns out, not quite. On April Fools' Day this year, Downtown Colorado Springs posted a fictitious Facebook announcement stating that they had placed Blucifer in the middle of the intersection of Platte and Nevada avenues, a busy downtown location. A close reading of the post revealed it to be a joke, but many were fooled. Like Blucifer's birthday announcement a couple of months before, some expressed their desire for the statue to be removed in the comments section. Still, others online expressed their appreciation for the quirky statue. It does appear that opinions among locals are split on the subject of Blucifer, some hating it and others being fond of it, considering it to be something akin to a quirky local landmark. The Denver area is also known for another quirky sculpture called I See What You Mean , also known as the Big Blue Bear. This 40-foot tall polygonal bear statue peers into a nearby window. A short report below by local news network Denver 7 was aired in 2018. It features both the bear and some anecdotes by locals on Blucifer. Kayleigh Warwick, who was not a fan of Blucifer, said the following: Even though I do think it's creepy, now when I come here I expect to see it. So there's that. See the Denver 7 feature below: A tenuous commission It might surprise you to learn that Blucifer is not the sculpture's official title, though the nickname has become synonymous with it. As I learned thanks to an article by Confluence Denver, the work was named 'Mustang' (not Blue Mustang) by Luis Jiménez. According to the Denver Gazette , Luis was commissioned for $300,000 to create the sculpture by the airport in 1998, only three years after its opening in 1995. He received an upfront payment of $160,000 for the work, which the airport eventually sued him for when delivery of the finished work was delayed. What followed was a legal battle, in which Luis counter-sued the airport. By 2006, the case was resolved and Luis agreed to deliver the finished 32-foot tall, 9000 lb sculpture. Eventually, the airport paid $650,000 for the sculpture and now insures it for $2,000,000. What inspired Blucifer's design, and why is it blue? Luis Jiménez modeled Mustang after a horse he owned called Black Jack, who happened to be a blue Appaloosa. The above lithograph was drawn by Luis, presumably modeled on the very same horse. Now, when animal breeds are described as 'blue', they are not usually a literal shade of vivid blue, like Blucifer ended up being. Blue animals, like Weimaraner dogs, are a shade of light gray. In the Appaloosa breed, particularly blue examples, their ghost-like spotty pattern is created by the interaction of layers of black and white hairs. Here's what they look like in real life: So why did Blucifer end up being so very blue? Well, Luis's early sketches included yellow and pink variations, but he ended up using an airbrushed vibrant blue. According to an article from Adobe Airstream, an arts publication, Luis drew inspiration from a local myth regarding a blue stallion, originating from the local San Luis Valley. The area has both Native American and Mexican roots in terms of heritage, and as Luis's family originated in Mexico, the legend and the sculpture are direct links to Luis and his heritage. The article cites the myth as being from the San Luis Valley Dweller , and it goes as follows: "(...) A mustang who led all the others, (...) One who could run even faster than the wind. He would gather the herd from the plains and lead them to where the sweetest grass and water were to be found. They tell of a blue mustang whose eyes glowed red. (...) He could run so fast some said he could fly." That sounds a lot like the Blucifer sculpture we know today. Interestingly, if you ask any Central American, Azul Maya (Maya Blue) is a well-known pigment that can be traced back to the ancient Mayan civilization, and according to Al-Jazeera, a researcher managed to re-create it , as reported earlier this month. This pigment was used to paint sculptures in the Mayan culture, but also to paint jewelry, murals, and even people, especially those who were to be offered up in human sacrifice. Original examples of Maya Blue can be found in 800-year-old murals at Chichen Itza today, another deep link to Central American culture. Despite a delayed celebration flight, the budget ariline has been offering flights to the Mexican capital for over a decade. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder As it turns out, a lot is going on regarding Blucifer's glowing red eyes. Of course, there is the first reference to the myth about the blue stallion with glowing red eyes, but Appaloosa horses also have eyes with white scleras, which is very unusual to see in any other breed. For reference, the sclera is the white part of the eyeball in humans, and it surrounds the iris and lens. Luis also said that Mustang's glowing eyes were a call back to his time working in his father's neon sign workshop, which he had done as a youth. Confluence Denver reported that Luis also suffered an injury to his left eye due to an accident with a BB gun. The injury caused him migraines for his entire life until he eventually had the eye removed, and opted to use an artificial glass eye from that point forward. After all this, it seems strangely fitting that his final work would also draw attention to its eyes as well. Did you know we have a podcast? Check out Episode 238 for a discussion on Denver International Airport's virtual golf lounge. Read our article on it here while you listen! Blucifer, the art that killed the artist Luis never got to see his work completed, as unfortunately, a section of the Mustang sculpture fell on him when it was being hoisted up, with some reports saying it was the midsection and others saying it was the hindquarters. Classed as an industrial accident, the heavy fiberglass and steel section, weighing hundreds of pounds, landed on Luis. It pinned him to the ground and severed an artery in his leg. Sadly, Luis Jiménez had bled out and died before reaching the nearest hospital, 28 miles away. At this point, the head of Mustang had been painted, and the rest of it was eventually completed by others, presumably his family, in the same airbrushed blue finish. The completed sculpture was finally delivered and installed at Denver International in February 2008. Something very spooky about this turn of events, as referenced in the CPR article mentioned earlier, is that Luis's friend Dale Kronkright can recall a phone conversation he had with Luis about Mustang's progress. Kronkright said the following: "He said, ‘You know, this work is gonna kill me’, and that was just this, at the time, humorous comment about how exhausting it was trying to figure out the engineering." All things considered... Taking a look at Blucifer's story, there are certainly some strange coincidences, especially centering around Luis's death and his unintentional prediction of that very event. However, Blucifer does appear to have legitimate reasons for being... well, a giant blue demon horse, with personal, cultural, and mythological reasons for its appearance. That said, I wasn't going to let a chance to look into Denver International's conspiracy theories pass me by, so I did a little digging into the airport's other oddities. For many years, these paired murals by Leo Tanguma attracted a great deal of attention while being displayed at Denver International. With depictions of trees burning, dead people in coffins, and the apparent worship of a magical plant, they seem like an ayahuasca trip filled with apocalyptic visions of the future. According to Rocky Mountain PBS , the murals had been temporarily put into storage as of last year, presumably due to the intense criticism they attracted. After the Georgia Guide Stones were blown up , as reported by The New Yorker in 2022, many people became fascinated by the idea that a secret shadow organization wanted to reduce the world's population to 500 million, transitioning to an age in which humanity lives in rational order and harmony. They thought this for good reason because the Guide Stones essentially had this inscribed upon them. Mysteries still swirl around who exactly had commissioned the Guide Stones and why, but people were certain that they didn't have good plans for people who weren't one of that number. Leo Tanguma's murals appear to tell a similar story, with themes of war and destruction, then societal collapse and harmonious rebirth. Despite all the controversy, Denver International appears to be the most-served airport in the Southwest this December, according to our article by James Pearson. That's a lot of people seeing old Blucifer. DIA might be a little bit suspicious Another similarity between Denver International and the Guide Stones is that they both have a time capsule buried on site. Pictured above is the dedication stone for Denver International, laid at the time of construction by the New World Airport Commission. The stone indicates that the airport has been dedicated by Free Masons, much like a temple would be. Does this mean the Masons commissioned the Guide Stones? I could go on for another 10,000 words on this subject, as I love conspiracy theories, but I'll leave you with this last nugget. Being curious about where the rumor of underground bunkers at Denver International originated, I unearthed the following anonymous two-part interview with a construction worker who claims to have built a portion of an underground tunnel there. It was uploaded in 2011 by DPCWebmaster (Digital Preservation Coalition). Forgive the audio quality, but it appears to have been recorded on VHS within a few years of the construction being finished. I don't know about you, but I'm intrigued. The airport has invested in new technologies to streamline boarding times for international flights.Commanders place kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve
