DÍA DE MUERTOS: A BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN TRADITION
TO CELEBRATE THE LIVES OF THE DEPARTED |
|
Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a traditional Mexican holiday observed on November 2 that reunites the living and dead. A rare holiday for celebrating death and life, Día de Muertos is unlike any other remembrance of the deceased; where mourning death is exchanged for celebrating life.
Families create ofrendas (offerings) to honor their departed loved ones. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, candles, incense, pan de muerto, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of those being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods, and join in the celebrations!
CALAVERITA FOR THE 2026 WWT CHAMPIONSHIP
Looking very elegant at El Cardonal,
La Catrina strolled around;
with flowers and a hat,
she greeted the players.
The tournament's twenty years
La Catrina celebrated.
"Here's to twenty more!"
she toasted, delighted.
The WWT Championship was back.
How happy the skinny lady was!
Amid so many celebrations,
she forgot to bring her flask.
She couldn't spot her favorite player.
And with so much talent, who could blame her?
"I'll take whoever misses this putt!"
And everyone listened, dead serious!
She put away her scythe and burst out laughing;
she decided to forgive everyone:
"At the WWT Championship I'm taking no one,
because next year I want to come back."

| DIAMANTE AND LOS CABOS: WHERE GOLF LIVES |
|
Los Cabos is Mexico's premier golf destination, and Diamante is at the heart of it, with three courses: the Dunes Course by Davis Love III, ranked 64th on Golf Digest's World's 100 Greatest Courses list; El Cardonal, Tiger Woods' first-ever design; and the Oasis Short Course, a 12-hole par-3 course also designed by Woods.
And there's more to come. The Legacy, Woods' next course at Diamante, will be part of an ultra-exclusive private golf and recreation club, with five lakes connected by streams, multiple waterfalls, and a man-made dune that encircles the property. Opening is estimated for spring 2027.
