  • 2024 FSGA Hall of Fame Class Announced

    The FSGA is proud to announce the 2024 Hall of Fame inductees: Joe Alfieri, a four-time Amateur Player of the Year, Diane Lang, a three-time U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Champion, and Andy Bean, an 11-time PGA Tour winner. Each of these remarkable individuals have made significant contributions to the game of golf both in Florida and at the national level. They will join an esteemed group of legends in the FSGA Hall of Fame. The 2024 class will be inducted into the FSGA Hall of Fame at the FSGA’s Annual Awards Banquet in February of 2025. The Annual Awards celebrates the best players in the state, tournament volunteers, board members, and many other important individuals involved in the game of golf in Florida. Joe Alfieri Joe Alfieri embodies the true essence of an FSGA phenom. His extensive list of achievements with both the FSGA and USGA reads like a scroll. Alfieri claimed the title of FSGA Amateur Player of the Year five times in 1999, 2001, 2015, 2016, and 2021. In 1999, Alfieri, at 30 years old, captured the Mid-Amateur Championship, 22 years later, he would raise the trophy again during the 40th Mid-Amateur Championship. This goes to show not only his true passion for the game but his dedication to the sport year after year. Alfieri was handed a golf club at the age of two but as he grew up was also passionate about baseball. It wasn't until he turned 15 that he decided to put down the glove and dedicate himself entirely to golf. Alfieri stated “I switched to golf because I could, you know, there's not nine players on the field. It's one player, and I controlled my own destiny.” Destiny behold, Alfieri has represented himself at the national level multiple times, notably competing in the U.S. Amateur in 1988, 1999, 2001, 2018, 2021, and 2022. He has also participated in the U.S. Mid-Amateur, with numerous appearances including 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016, reaching the Round of 32 in each of those years. Reminiscing about some of his favorite memories, he highlighted the 2016 Concession Cup, where he proudly represented the United States. The Concession Cup, modeled after the Ryder Cup, features the top Mid-Amateur and Senior golfers competing from the U.S. and Europe. During the 2016 Cup, the U.S. team emerged victorious, notching another victory for Alfieri. When asked what his induction meant to him, he remarked “It’s an extreme honor… I've played professionally,  but I can tell you that I have so much more enjoyed playing amateur golf than professional golf and it’s much more rewarding.” Despite his abundant accomplishments, Alfieri is still making waves. In August, he was named Captain of the North Team for the 15th Florida Cup, set to take place October 7-8, 2024 at Old Memorial Golf Club. This will be his sixth appearance, holding a record of 8-4-3. He is also trying to qualify for the U.S. Four-Ball Championship with his son, Cade, who is following closely in his father’s footsteps. In his closing remarks, when Alfieri was asked about who he’d like to thank for his abundant career, he expressed “I would start with the FSGA because if the FSGA didn't exist, none of this would have either.” With every added accomplishment, Alfieri remains a testament to the enduring spirit of amateur golf. Diane Lang Diane Lang, originally from Jamaica, has a distinctive story that embodies a deep passion for golf. At just 20, she journeyed from Jamaica to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton on a golf scholarship. Lang recalls “When my Dad first put a club in my hands at age 13, I know that neither of us ever imagined the places this game would take me. Who knew that a girl from Jamaica, with no real golf coaching, could play golf with some of the greats - both professionals and amateurs.” After college, Lang pursued mini-tours and tried to qualify for the LPGA, starting her attempts in 1984. Although she took a brief hiatus from the sport when she became pregnant with her first child, her love for golf remained strong, and her departure was only temporary. “My journey has enabled me to learn the value of friendship, and how to handle adversity with a smile on my face. Sportsmanship was a cornerstone of my Dad's lessons to me - never to brag, but to be humble because whenever you think you own this game, that's when you are taught that it's impossible to do that,” Lang remarked. Lang made a triumphant return to golf in 2002, confessing that she fell in love with the sport all over again. Just three years after reimmersing herself in the game, she clinched the title at the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship. At 51, she became the seventh golfer to win back-to-back USGA Senior Women’s Amateur titles with her victory in 2006. Not stopping there, Lang went on to secure her third title by winning the 2008 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur.  During this period, Lang was honored as the FSGA Amateur Player of the Year in both 2005 and 2006. Her achievements continued to grow with age, as she won the FSGA Senior Amateur Championship in 2006, 2010, and 2011. These successes earned her the title of Senior Player of the Year in 2008 and 2010. When asked what being inducted into the FSGA Hall of Fame meant to her, she stated “This award means the world to me. I've never been one to look back at my accomplishments so when Jeff at the Florida State Golf Association sat down with me and started listing them off, I really had no idea who he was talking about,” Lang went on, “It wasn't until the very end of the conversation when he listed the three U.S. Senior Amateur wins that I realized it was me! I cried like a baby.”  In her final remarks, Lang expressed “I know I'm coming to the end of my competitive career, so this award is the cherry on top of the cake and one that I will always cherish.” Andy Bean For nearly thirty years, Andy Bean left a significant mark on the world of golf. The 11-time PGA Tour winner, who passed away on October 13, 2023, will be inducted into the FSGA Hall of Fame, where he will be celebrated as one of the sport's greats—a fitting tribute to his remarkable career. His passion for golf began at a young age and would last a lifetime. Bean attended the University of Florida, where he played alongside other golf talents like Gary Koch, Woody Blackburn, and Phil Hancock. Together, they led the Gators to victory in the 1973 NCAA Championship. Bean would later achieve 18 professional wins, including 11 on the PGA Tour. In honoring his memory, his wife, Debbie Bean, reflected, “Andy grew up on Jekyll Island, where his dad was the golf pro. His love of golf began at an early age.” When discussing Andy's greatest achievements, Debbie mentioned, “ I believe one of his fondest accomplishments was being selected for two Ryder Cup teams. The game of golf certainly gave him opportunities to develop friendships with both people inside the rope and outside. He was grateful that his golf career overlapped that of [Arnold] Palmer, [Jack] Nicklaus, and [Gary] Player whom he highly respected and admired.” Bean also shared three daughters with his wife Debbie, Lauren, Lindsay, and Jordan. “Our dad would be greatly honored to be inducted into the FSGA Hall of Fame. He was always so appreciative of all of the volunteers, people who helped run the tournaments, the Tour, and fans that came out to watch.” As his daughters were growing up, they were able to witness firsthand the profound impact he had—not just on the game of golf, but on everyone around him. “I also think about the camaraderie he had with so many players and the friendship that developed over the years. It was a brotherhood, a family and he loved being part of it.” Bean leaves an unforgettable legacy in the world of golf. His induction into the FSGA Hall of Fame serves as a lasting tribute to the profound impact he had on everyone around him. This honor ensures that his contributions to growing the game and nurturing relationships with all who crossed his path will live forever. By ML Staff. Content/Image courtesy of FSGA

Inter Miami’s defense held firm in the final minutes, with Finnerty and the backline resisting a late surge from Carolina Core.

With its prime corner location and distinctive façade, the boutique is set to become a landmark in the historic Wangfujing area. Design inspiration from the Vallée de Joux A powerful expression of the home of La Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux, the façade is clad in glass shingles inspired by the tavaillon (wooden tile) cladding that is used on traditional buildings in this area of the Swiss Jura to provide protection from the harsh winter climate. Inside the boutique, references to the Vallée de Joux’s natural beauty include organic materials, clear, natural colours and carpet designs inspired by trees, rocks and minerals. An art installation commissioned from Chinese contemporary artist Tu Juan captures the spirit of the Vallée de Joux in winter, when it is enveloped in snow and ice. The overall effect is airy, warm and welcoming, inviting visitors not only to discover Jaeger-LeCoultre’s timepieces but also to explore the entire world of La Grande Maison. The decor also incorporates subtle nods to Art Deco, a design language close to the heart of Jaeger-LeCoultre as it represents the origin of the Reverso. Discovering emblematic calibres and ground-breaking patents Drawn from more than 1,400 calibres created to date, an interactive Calibre Wall displays some of the most emblematic calibres that underline La Grande Maison’s authority as 'The Watchmaker of Watchmakers'™.

  • Formula 1's First Step into Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Driving Towards Net Zero by 2030

    Formula 1® has announced its first investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as part of its ultra-efficient logistics strategy and commitment to reaching Net Zero by 2030. The first phase of investment focuses on SAF purchases through Global Partner DHL for air cargo to and from flyaway races since the Australian Grand Prix in March and covers approximately 20% of subsequent cargo flights this season. Using SAF delivers an estimated 80% reduction in associated carbon emissions per flight, which means that the flights covered by SAF purchases in the 2024 season are estimated to save over 4,500 tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent), compared to the use of conventional aviation fuel. In this first phase of investment, Formula 1 is procuring SAF using the industry recognised ‘book and claim’ model through DHL’s GoGreen Plus service. As the sector and SAF infrastructure is expanding, it is not possible to directly fuel cargo planes used to move F1 freight with SAF. Instead, DHL has enabled F1 to ‘book’ the needed fuel amount, which then gets added to the supply chain in other planes where SAF is directly available. This ensures a high standard of product quality and traceability, with all carbon reductions verified before F1 can ‘claim’ them in their carbon footprint. This model helps reduce carbon emissions with current SAF volumes and encourages future market growth. SAF is the latest example of F1’s continued transition to sustainable fuels across the sport and its operations. From 2026, F1 cars will run on 100% sustainable fuel, while F2 and F3 will reach that standard by next season having been at 55% since the start of 2023, and the FIA Safety and Medical cars currently use 40% sustainable fuel. Grands Prix in Europe are delivered using biofuel-powered trucks, as well as events throughout the calendar using alternative energy solutions, such as biofuel. From next season, F1 will also power key operational areas of all European Grands Prix, such as the Pit Lane and Paddock, using a low-carbon power solution provided by Aggreko, which reduces emissions in the supplied areas by more than 90%. Ellen Jones, Head of ESG, Formula 1 said:   “Formula 1 has always been at the forefront of innovation, and our early stage investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a testament to our dedication to deliver on our Net Zero by 2030 commitment. SAF is just the latest step for the business, and underscores how alternative fuels both on and off track can materially reduce carbon emissions. This delivery of our sustainability strategy is only made possible through coordinated actions across our sport.” Paul Fowler, Head of Motorsports Logistics, DHL said: “Our longstanding partnership with Formula 1 is built on a shared passion for innovation and excellence. We are committed to using our expertise to transport Formula 1’s cars and equipment around the world in the most efficient way possible. With 40 years of expertise in motorsports logistics, we are focused on cutting down greenhouse gas emissions and making motorsport more sustainable with every step we take.” Additional information: SAF is a core part of Formula 1’s alternative fuel strategy which will enable the sport to reach Net Zero by 2030 and its use will be extended in the coming months and years. In addition to the use of SAF, Formula 1 has already taken a number of steps to address its footprint associated to travel and logistics, including: Using biofuel-powered trucks to deliver the nine European Grands Prix, which reduced emissions in 2023 by an average of 83% compared to traditionally fuelled trucks. Rationalising the FIA Formula One World Championship calendar where possible to create a better flow of races. Utilising regional hubs in Europe, UAE, and the US to reduce the distance freight travels between events. Redesigning cargo containers to fit on to more efficient Boeing 777 aircrafts, reducing emissions by around 17%.  Implementing an industry leading remote broadcast operation that means less equipment and people travel to Grands Prix, with most of the production across a race weekend taking place in F1’s Media & Technology Centre in Biggin Hill, UK.

  • Echoes of Yellow Journalism: From Sensationalism to Clickbait

    William Randolph Hearst, notorious "father of yellow journalism," revolutionized news with sensationalist headlines crafted to grab attention and sell papers. His decades-old tactics still shape today's media, from clickbait to the rise of disinformation. Inspired by our installation HEARST: Lampooning the King of Yellow Journalism , this timely panel discussion features the director of FIU's Lee Caplin School of Journalism & Media, Susan Jacobson, and Wolfsonian chief librarian Francis Luca. Together, they'll uncover the striking parallels between the media landscapes of Hearst's era and today. Date: Friday, November 15, 2024 Time: 6:15–8pm Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue Free | Register here Schedule 6:15pm–6:45pm | Installation Meet-and-Greet 7:00pm–8:00pm | Panel Discussion By ML Staff.

  • Voluminous Lightness for Loewe Spring-Summer 2025 Women’s Runway Collection

    Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson once again embraced restraint for his Spring-Summer 2025 women’s collection, presented at the Château de Vincennes in Paris. A single bird sculpture by British artist Tracey Emin, entitled The only place you came to me was in my sleep (2017), sat with peaceful presence in the show space. Silhouettes traced a circular path in the center of the almost empty white room, flowing into the curvaceous lines of tailoring. Draping moved also in circles, short cape-like leather jackets were flared below the waist, as if frozen in the wind, and sequined mini dresses created a corolla effect as legs emerge from the hem. Floral prints and delicate silks fluttered in motion, revealing their crinoline structure. Models moved effortlessly in Ballet Runners and elongated Oxfords, grounding the grace of the silhouettes in footwear of varying proportions. The new trapezoid-shaped Madrid bag pays homage to Loewe’s home city, and the latest iteration of the Puzzle bag comes in feather-light nappa leather. Often balancing on the cusp of dream and reality, pieces play with illusion. An embossed leather coat reveals the hip, and white feathers create an ethereal cage around the bust. The fragility of feathers contrasts with a camouflage pattern, while hand-applied mother-of-pearl fragments transform plumage into scales or shells. Like Emin’s bronze bird, the collection seems poised to take flight, claiming a new form of freedom.  ML Staff. Content/image(s) courtesy of LVMH
