first visited The Preserve in May of this year. My career has taken
me to some of the most beautiful environments on earth, yet
a unique experience awaited me beyond The Preserve’s gates. As I
passed through and drove the eight miles from the gatehouse to the
Hacienda I found myself immersed in nature. I felt myself exhale as
The Preserve stills the mind and awakens the senses. This is a haven
where you can let go of the stresses of daily life and unwind doing as
much or as little as you please. Like many before me, I was embraced
by the surrounding natural beauty, the variety of animals, and the
warmth of the mountain air that was so different than the coastal fog. It is a place that one
must experience to fully understand, and I can attest that once you let yourself be absorbed
by the environment you will never want to leave. The Preserve truly enters your soul and
captivates your spirit.
The Preserve offers world class facilities gently nestled among its 20,000 acres, but becoming an
owner or member isn’t simply about a golf course, or an equestrian center; it’s about connecting
with your family in a very intimate way that allows something for everyone to enjoy. There is a
developing legacy of growing families and lifelong friends through the generations, which we
add to every day. Through this we are preserving not only the land, but our future by protecting
the past. From reunions to weddings this is nothing, if not a place for creating memories. I
am fortunate to be able to raise my own family in an environment of such exploration and
creativity inspired by nature. My commitment is to deliver on the promise and the values that
The Preserve stands for.
One of the elements that makes The Preserve so unique is its commitment to a culture of
community values. Collectively, all of us have a shared responsibility; we have been charged
with being the steward of this land. Not only to protect, but to honor and grow on the history
and traditions that have come before us. I very much look forward to this journey of establishing
relationships and creating a lifetime of memories together. Come through the gates as I have.
You will be welcomed by The Preserve team, the owners who preceded you, and I.

Making Memories at Camp
At The Preserve, the long summer days are filled with horseback riding, swimming and kayaking on Moore’s Lake.
Campers can also be found face painting, taking tennis lessons, miniature golfing, crafting, playing field games,
lizard hunting and making new friends. There are four themed weeks of activities for the popular “Sneaks, Cleats
and Boots Camp.” This busy camp has kids horseback riding on day one with the experienced equestrian staff.
Afterwards, participants head over to the kids’ barn for an educational lesson from naturalist Kirsten Stemper of the

“Family Tees”
Expand appeal
of The Preserve
Golf Club
By Brian McCallen
Noted course designer Pete Dye once said that golfers rarely talk
about the easy courses. On the other hand, how many hopeful
novices have walked away in frustration, and perhaps given up
the game, after playing a course that was simply too difficult?
Clearly there’s a fine line between a layout that presents a fair
challenge and one that overwhelms players of lesser attainment.
Lightly draped across a classic Carmel landscape of rolling
hills and verdant meadows, The Preserve Golf Club is a true
championship-caliber venue with four sets of tees ranging from
7,067 to 5,148 yards (par 72). Currently ranked No. 68 on
Golf Digest’s list of “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses” and
8th in the state, the Tom Fazio design is an outstanding test
of golf that takes on all comers. That’s especially true with the
debut of a unique set of “Family Tees.” Some of the Club’s most
enthusiastic players now include beginners, children, seniors
and other family members who can enjoy a scaled-down version
of the community’s world-class golf course.

Wedding Bells Ring
AT THE S AN TA LU C I A P R ES ERV E
By Brian McCallen
It drizzled the morning of April 28, 2012, as it sometimes does in
Carmel in the spring, but the future Mr. and Mrs. Blake Simon
were confident that rain or shine, their wedding scheduled that
day at the Santa Lucia Preserve would be an occasion to remember.
When the clouds parted and the sun came out shortly before the
wedding ceremony, beautifully staged on the meadow behind the
Hacienda, soon-to-be-newlyweds Karen and Blake Simon knew that
even the intangibles would be taken care of on their very special day.
“Blake and I have spent quite a bit of time in the Carmel Valley
region over the years,” Karen says. “This area has always been very
special for us. We’ve been visiting the Santa Lucia Preserve from the
time we started dating, so this was a logical choice for us when the
time came to choose a location for our wedding. Our main goal was
to celebrate our union by sharing our day with family and friends.”
Karen and Blake point out that they were careful not to detract
in any way from the exquisite natural beauty of the community.
“We went out of our way not to dress it up too much,” Karen
explains. Friends and family—a total of 135 invited guests—
convened in a lovely green area framed by sturdy oaks and
back-dropped by rolling hills sprinkled with wildflowers.
Both the bride and groom agree that their wedding gave the Club
a chance to showcase its culinary talents along with its ability to
attend to every detail. “The entire team at the Santa Lucia Preserve
was truly exceptional,” Karen says. “The staff fully supported our
ideas. They also made many helpful suggestions. The Club took
such good care of us and made us feel so special.” The wedding cake

For their part, guests were effusive in their

wedding in a beautiful place,” wrote one. “Have
not experienced anything like it!” wrote another.
Now that they’re married, Karen and Blake were
asked if they’d consider hosting the weddings of

Learning from Golf ’s Greats
Jack Burke, Jack N ic k au s , G ary Pl ayer, Doug Sanders
By Mike Wilson
There are many things we can learn from the great players in golf that can help us in our own games. By
examining the techniques of legends, such as Jack Burke, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Doug Sanders,
we can learn more about our own swings and take their lessons with us the next time we’re on the course.

Jack Nicklaus
Despite holding the greatest record of all time, Jack Nicklaus has
acknowledged his role in the current trend of slow play. With
televised golf tournaments adding to the popularity of the game
in the late fifties and early sixties, viewers watched Nicklaus’s
deliberate play—and mimicked his every move. Before his era,
however, very few players were so slow. When Jimmy Demaret
was once asked why he didn’t take practice swings, he replied,
“If I did, which one would I use?” The putting routine of Aaron
Baddeley, one of the best putters currently on the PGA Tour, is
a great example of how a player can be both fast and successful.
When it’s Baddeley’s turn to play, he stands behind the ball,
visualizes the putt he wants, walks into the setup, looks once at
the hole and strokes the putt. Baddeley uses 10 seconds of the
45 allotted to hit a shot by the rules of golf. This is not only an
efficient way of playing, but also allows for the least amount of
thought and the most amount of athleticism and creativity. Here
are some more helpful tips for improving upon the enjoyment
of the game.
• In friendly matches, play “ready golf,” where players hit as
they’re ready.
• When two players in a cart hit to opposite sides of a hole,

at Champions Golf Club, Burke preaches the importance of a
proper setup. He’s a believer that the setup should be similar
to that of a track runner, poised to take off at the sound of a
gun. Burke states that your weight should slightly favor your
left side (as a right-handed player), with the left foot flared out
45 degrees toward the target and the right foot perpendicular to
the target. By charging your muscles correctly in this dynamic
setup, you can more easily get your lower body moving to the
left during the transition. Remember, you never hit a ball on
your backswing. The key is to always have your intent moving
forward toward the target.

Gary Player
Gary Player is one of golf ’s greatest superstars, having won nine major
championships. He is one of just five men to capture the career Grand
Slam. Player was also known as one of the all-time great bunker players.
He wrote,
“One thing you must do is cock your wrists so that you are able to release
the club head and get it moving through the sand. We’re not playing on
grass, we’re in sand, which really stops the club, so work on your wrist-cock
to get that nice bit of acceleration.”
Another thing that Player has spoken about was using different clubs out of
a bunker for different distances. He was known for using clubs as high as a
seven-iron out of the sand. This would help him swing the same speed as a
sand wedge from 20 feet, but have the ball travel a greater distance for those
extra long bunker shots. Regardless of the club you use, make sure you put
that ball forward in your stance, aim left, open up the face to point square
to your target and cock those wrists!
Doug Sanders
Doug Sanders was one of golf ’s most colorful players. Known as the
“peacock of the fairways,” Sanders had hundreds of pairs of loud golf shoes
to match his bright shirts. Sanders won 20 times on the PGA Tour and
had 13 top-ten finishes in major championships. He is remembered for his
deadly accurate shot-making ability with an exceptionally short, flat golf
swing and a wide stance. In his book, Compact Golf, Sanders wrote,
“The only important part of a golf swing is getting the club in position two
feet before it reaches the ball on the downswing and two feet after it passes
through the ball. So in retrospect, it is much easier to maintain the same
pattern every time with a short swing than one that comes from up behind
the head.”
The principle behind using a shorter swing is simple: any time you shorten
any kind of precision movement, you have less margin for error. It’s just like
throwing darts at a target board; the closer you move in, the better chance
you have to throw a bull’s eye. A short swing is much more likely to get the
shot started in the right direction and to put it in better shape down the
fairway. Sanders was able to find something that worked for him. If golfers
would cut down their swings and use more force at impact, they would
get a lot more distance and accuracy. Long, free-flowing swings may look
pretty, but a golfer who can keep the ball in the fairway a high percentage
of the time will score consistently well.

St ewa rd ship

By Jonathan Feldman
When visiting The Preserve, one is immediately
struck by the lush and varied landscapes, the
abundance of wildlife and enticing views—all
reminders of the importance of stewardship as we
inhabit this precious piece of land. As we move to
dwell in this place, conservation of our local land
extends beyond The Preserve borders as a guiding
principle for the process of design and construction.
Sustainability in design and construction can
take on several forms, but we’ll focus here on two
design paths which can lead to dramatic results:
the specification of environmentally responsible
materials and planning and design to reduce energy
consumption. Finding and specifying materials that
are “good, clean and fair,” to borrow terms from the
Slow Food Movement, is becoming less daunting as
green products proliferate and are therefore easier to
find and less expensive than in the past.
For instance, Forest Stewardship Council-certified
(FSC) woods can be used for framing and flooring,
and increased spacing between the frames can
reduce the amount of wood used. FSC-certified
woods are harvested from forests around the world
that actively manage planting and cutting to prevent
20

Sa n ta L u c i a P re s e rve . co m
deforestation. Concrete, which traditionally requires the use of coal to
create a typical cement mix, can instead be specified so that the cement
is composed of a mix of byproducts from other industrial processes,
diverting waste from landfills.
Design of a new home, or renovations to an existing home, should
also take into consideration long-term energy usage, with efforts made
towards reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Siting of a new home
can take advantage of thermal heat gain to warm spaces throughout the
cold, and design of doors and windows for ventilation can eliminate the
need for an air-conditioning system in our relatively mild climate. Active
systems, such as solar panels, can provide most, if not all, of the home’s
energy needs, and water catchment systems collect rainwater, which can
be used for irrigation or treated for potability. PV panels have been
consistently dropping in price so that the systems pay for themselves in
a few years, and the design of the PVs is becoming increasingly refined
to integrate with the design of the home.
As designers, we often speak about the importance of place and site,
and The Preserve is a fantastic reminder of the pleasure and inspiration
to be gained from enjoying the land and wildlife. As we build in The
Preserve, it’s important to remember that the ethos of The Preserve and
stewardship of the land extends to how we design, build and inhabit
our homes.

Pilates for Golfers
By Julie Selby-Lara

Sa n ta L u c i a P re s e rve . co m
Tiger Woods, Annika Sörenstam and other elite golfers have added Pilates to their golf-conditioning programs. Many of the fitness
qualities that make a great golfer are the essence of a Pilates workout. Pilates is an exercise that makes people more aware of their
bodies and how they move. This awareness helps golfers improve their games and helps to prevent hip, shoulder and back injuries.
Pilates, developed in the early 1900s, has become popular with fitness enthusiasts. The benefits of Pilates Reformer workouts have
drawn the attention of athletes from different disciplines. Participation in a regular Pilates Reformer program will improve flexibility,
develop core strength and increase ease of movement. In addition, balance and coordination will also improve.
For years, traditional golf-conditioning programs have tried to isolate the attributes of a great golfer, work on those skills individually,
and try to put them back together again. Pilates offers a different solution; it is a repertoire of movement that offers the following
benefits:
• Pilates is based on quality of movement rather than quantity.
• Pilates requires focus, keeping the mind connected to the body, as does golf.
• Pilates-based movement comes from the center of the body, otherwise known as the core; so should your golf swing.
•Pilates will develop even muscle tone on both sides of your body. In a game that focuses on one side, with all the
rotation in one direction, it’s important to strengthen the weak muscles and stretch out the tight ones.
• Pilates will improve your flexibility and increase your range of motion.
• Pilates enhances balance, coordination and stability, which are essential for golf.
• Pilates has been proven to help those plagued with back pain, poor posture and shoulder and hip problems.
Doing Pilates exercises on the Pilates Reformer is ideal. The
Pilates Reformer is designed specifically to increase spinal
range of motion and distribute forces evenly through the spine.
This does two important things for golfers. First, it decreases
the force that centralizes in the low back, causing back pain.
Second, it increases the ability to access greater movement and
flexibility in the spine, thus increasing range of movement,

M OOR E’ S L AK E:
“ H I D D EN IN
P L A I N V I EW”
By Brian McCallen
Created in the early 1920’s by George Gordon Moore, Moore’s Lake
is one of the expansive community’s best-kept secrets.
Though it’s only a five-minute walk along a lovely path from the
Hacienda to the lake, many members and their families are still
discovering this wonderful amenity.
“It’s simply a great venue,” says Ron Haas, General Manger at The
Ranch Club. “Everyone who finds their way to the lake falls in love
with it. The most gratifying element is the multi-generational appeal
of Moore’s Lake. Once experienced, kids, parents and grandparents
keep returning to its shores.”
It is easy to see why; Moore’s Lake is a 17-acre, horseshoe-shaped
body of water with a sandy beach that offers a number of activities.
For starters, there’s a good selection of watercraft: canoes, kayaks,
rowboats and paddleboats are ideal for navigating the lake. Swimmers
can access a pair of floating rafts anchored roughly 100 yards from
shore. An aeration system circulates the water to ensure it remains
fresh and algae-free.
For anglers, the boathouse offers an assortment of fishing equipment.
The lake is stocked with largemouth bass—a catch-and-release
program is in place. Recreation Manager Julie Selby-Lara can guide
beginners and experts alike to the prime fishing spots. One- and twopound bass are common, though there are some lunkers in the deeper
sections of the lake.

Haas points out that family camping is increasingly
popular along the shores of Moore’s Lake. Currently,
there is ample space for four 10-person tents to be
pitched on the beach. Members, Haas says, are able
to customize their camping experience. “They can do
everything for themselves; arrange for the club staff
to pitch the tents and bring in food for dinner and
breakfast, which they can cook themselves; or have the
staff make all the arrangements, from preparing the
food to cleaning up and breaking camp.” Lakeshore
cookouts and barbecues are popular with campers, with
picnic tables set up directly on the beach. Marinated
ribs and salmon are popular entrees.
“There are other camps on property accessible via The
Preserve’s trail system that are more remote and offer
a rustic, old-California experience,” Haas says. “But at
Moore’s Lake, there are hot showers and full facilities, so
extended families can enjoy a true camping experience
without sacrificing comfort and convenience.”
Haas also notes that on Friday nights throughout the
summer months, “S’mores at Moore’s” are featured.
After dinner, the club staff builds campfires in castiron fire pits placed in the sand. “Kids can roast
marshmallows and make their own s’mores, and we also
provide chocolate milk or hot chocolate,” Haas says.
“It’s not uncommon to see 30 family members on these
evenings.”
The nearby recreational amenities available at The
Ranch Club, including the Equestrian Center as well
as the Sports Center’s pools and waterslide, plus the
tennis courts, croquet lawn and fitness center, tend
to overshadow Moore’s Lake, which Haas believes is
“hidden in plain view.” But this lovely lake, tucked in
the bosom of the hills and a legacy of George Gordon
Moore, is a refreshing alternative to the community’s
other activities, especially on a warm summer day.

The Preserve’s first residents approximately
1,500 years ago. One of The Preserve’s
more infamous owners over the years was
George Gordon Moore. He was a 1920’s
entrepreneur who enjoyed hunting, playing
polo and hosting lavish parties at his ranch,
which would one day become The Preserve.
Moore is best remembered for having built the
Hacienda and the lake that bears his name;
however, Moore also introduced the boar that
can be spotted throughout The Preserve. What
follows is a letter from Moore explaining in his
own words how this came about.

You would like to know where the wild boar originated that I turned loose on the Rancho San Carlos, etc.
It involves two names that you probably never heard of:

with a country place in Kent County, England. To answer your questions without these names would be like

Before the First World War, England, not the U.S., was the world’s banking center. Any security with merit,
from any place in the world, found a ready market in England. The Investment Registry was its largest
independent institution dealing in unlisted securities. All of the stock in this company was acquired jointly by
a Canadian Trust Company and myself, about three years before the First World War.

By Brian McCallen
Situated on a peninsula fronting a bay of the same name, Monterey is one of the oldest sites in California
settled by Spaniards. A tour of the city and its environs provides fascinating insight into the region’s
storied history.
The area was sighted by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, but it was Sebastián Vizcaíno, a Spanish
explorer who sailed into Monterey Bay in 1602, who became the first European to make contact with the
Native American community, known collectively as the Rumsen. In the years following this encounter,
Spain disregarded the area until 1770, when an expedition headed by Gaspar de Portolà, governor of Alta
California, and Father Junípero Serra, a Franciscan monk, arrived to establish a presidio and a chapel.

When we began work at The Preserve in 1990,
we set out to create a close, integral relationship of
houses and the land, from the careful selection of
each homesite to the principles for architecture and
landscapes. We helped shape the vision and created
a master plan and guidelines for The Preserve that
would result in a sustaining relationship for this
community and its natural environment.
Each year our firm designs a few private residences,
each one very different, as the spirit and style of these
homes reflect the unique personality of the owners
and the singular characteristics of their homesite.
