THE ROAD HOLE – THE OLD COURSE

Possibly the most demanding hole in all of golf, the Road Hole, a 495-yard par 4, begins with a blind tee shot over a building that houses some of the hotel’s workers. Players are advised to drive over the “O” in “Hotel” on the building’s sign—reading “Old Course Hotel”—to clear the dogleg.

Unfortunately, for players, the tee shot is just the beginning of their ordeal and the mishaps that ensue are legendary. But taking your lumps at The Road Hole is one of golf ’s rites of passage. And every golfer includes it on their “must play” list.

THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDSWe’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t À nd the prospect of cutting through turquoise waters an alluring idea. The British Virgin Islands offers islands and anchorages all a short distance from each other. Two of our favorites are Anegada and Jost Van Dyke.

FRENCH POLYNESIAFrench Polynesia, with its barrier reefs ringing tranquil blue lagoons, is almost the very deÀ nition of “exotic.” And with the Marquesas a little over a week’s sail away and Tuamotu Island chain nearby, for those that fashion themselves a latter-day Captain Cook, this area offers the perfect destination.

Jost Van Dyke coordinates: 18°27´N 64°44´WDistance from New York Harbor: 1,420.45 nautical miles

Island of Tahiti coordinates: 17°38´S 149°27´WDistance from New York Harbor: 5,403.10 nautical miles

TOP SAILOUR FIVE FAVORITE SAILING DESTINATIONS.One of the joys of sailing is discovery. These are

some of our favorite places to poke around. Some

are well traveled, others less so.

THE CHESAPEAKE BAYThis is America’s largest estuary and offers 11,600

miles of shoreline to explore. Try historic Oxford and

Chestertown. Visit Smith Island in the lower bay

to get a taste of an authentic waterman’s lifestyle.

Or À nd a sheltered cove, put out your crab pot, and

prepare your own crab feast.

“A MEAL WITHOUT WINE IS LIKE A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE.”–Louis Vaudable

wine:Pinot Noircheese:Abbaye de Belloc: a hard cheese from the Pays Basque region in Francetry it with:Crusty French bread, mushrooms

wine:Sauvignon Blanccheese:A goat cheese from the North Island’s Hamilton region try it with:Tomatoes, artichokes

wine:Bellini cocktail (Prosecco + peach purée)cheese:Crosta di Pane: an Italian soft-rind Brie best served at room temperaturetry it with:Proscuitto, smoked salmon

Pair a salty cheese with a sweet wine Fruity or sweet wines have a tendency to

go with a wider range of cheese fl avors Pungent cheeses generally go

better with red wines Creamy cheeses usually call for

a crisp, white wine If you like it, include it. Rules like

these are made to be broken

If you’re putting together your own pairings, just remember these basic rules:

Making sure you’re properly stocked with the right provisions while attending an outdoor sporting event is crucial. But deciding on what to put in your picnic basket can be vexing. We’ve found that, to help us narrow things down, it’s fun to À ll a basket with wines and cheeses that all come from a certain country or region.

PERFECT PAIRINGS.

T h e L o u i s i a n a C r a w f i s h B o i l .

Another great backyard affair is the crawfish boil. There’s something about it that puts a smile on everyone’s face. Maybe it’s the spices. In Louisiana, they like their crawfish spicy, and we mean spicy. And while you’re at it, pop in a zydeco CD to add to the Cajun atmosphere. Like Justin Wilson, the celebrity Cajun chef used to say, we “gar-on-tee” a good time.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

(Be sure to ask your supplier for “purged” crawfish. Just trust us.)

HOW TO DO IT:

You look the part. But can you cook the part? Throwing an authentic regional bash full of summer flavor is something your friends will look forward to as much as the first cannonball off the dock. And seafood suppliers will ship next-day, coast-to-coast, so having a crawfish boil in Boston or a crab feast in Los Angeles is more than doable.

F l av o rSET YOUR GUEST LIST. IT’S TIME TO PLAN YOUR SUMMER PARTY.
