The six golf courses are led by Ballyowen, currently ranked as the No. 1 public course in New Jersey. Following close behind are the challenging Crystal Springs course, the picturesque Wild Turkey and Cascades courses, the executive-length Minerals course and the player-friendly Black Bear course.
The two hotels include the world-class Grand Cascades Lodge, with spectacular dining, luxurious accommodations and one of the five largest wine cellars in the world. The sports-oriented Minerals Hotel features a world-class fitness center, indoor tennis and racquetball courts, an indoor/outdoor pool, horseback riding and many other activities.
"People really have to see this place in order to understand all there is to offer," explains Chris Mulvihill, son of the resort's founder, the late Gene Mulvihill. "The resort was my father's passion for years and the Grand Cascades Lodge was its crowning glory. When people come here they are amazed by the beauty and captured by all there is to see and do."
The Traveling Golfer show provides in-depth analysis of the very different golf courses - all of which are framed by spectacular mountain surroundings. The different techniques of architects Roger Rulewich and Robert van Hagge are discussed in detail.
In addition, the exciting lifestyle provided at the resort, is presented as an added amenity to the golf smorgasbord. The tour of the 135,000-bottle wine cellar is an unforgettable segment.
"After spending a few days shooting the show I don't know which to talk about more - the great golf and excitement found on the courses, or the incredible luxury and amenities found in the hotels," said Traveling Golfer host Tony Leodora. "This mountainous section of New Jersey is so close to Newark airport, and so accessible by many major highways ... yet it seems to be light years away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Crystal Springs really is the nearby getaway."
The episode from Crystal Springs Resort begins airing June 1 and runs throughout the month on the Traveling Golfer network of websites ... including The Golf Director Network (see full list of sites on travelinggolfervideo.com). It also will air on Monday, June 13 as part of the Press Box television show in Myrtle Beach, 5 to 7 p.m. on HTC Ch. 4.

Responding to golfers' never-ending demands to learn more about interesting golf courses and golf resorts across the country and around the world, well-traveled host Tony Leodora created the Traveling Golfer so he could take viewers on video trips to some of the most exciting golf locations. The show won first place for golf television broadcasts in the prestigious International Network of Golf Awards, presented at the PGA Merchandise Show in January.
The Traveling Golfer is a series of monthly shows hosted by Leodora, who has 16 years of experience in televised golf. The featured destination stays on the website for one month, before being replaced by a new show. The old shows are archived for continued viewing on home website, travelinggolfervideo.com.
Trekking in Nepal - Everest Case Camp trekking
ReplyDeleteMt Everest Case Camp trekking is found in Tibet & Nepal between the fences at an elevation of 5364m with Mount Everest both sides; the Nepal side has more natural beauty.
This is where true adventure begins…
This is one trip you don’t won’t to miss, & that’s why it’s aptly called the king of all trips. The journey begins with a flight to one of the highest landing airports in the world, & once we get off the twin otter, our eyes begin to take in the gigantic surroundings that stirs our emotions to the bone, as we sort out our equipment & the porters carry what has to be carried & our guides lead the way by the banks of the Dudh Kosi River. We clamber on our set trail through colorful villages as the panoramic scenery begins to take hold of us as we hike through farmlands & bump into the friendly sherpa folks, the local inhabitants of the ‘Khumbu’ {the original name of the Everest region}, known for their legendary climbing skills & warm welcoming nature; our walk soon brings us the the capital of the Khumbu, a thriving town called ‘Namche’, & this is where we get our first views of massive Everest & other silver grey peaks that literally stop the breath for a moment. Namche is the kind of town that will stun you for all the facilities it has within its boundaries, where you will find things not even available in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. Namche is the first outpost that gives you your first acclimatizing process which gets your body used to the higher elevations that come further on in the course of your trip.
As we haul up for a night in Namche, we begin to observe many other fellow trekkers having a good time, of which some are on their way up while some are on their way down.
