Golfing is a one of the first few sports that allowed women into its fold and they in turn propelled this game to a higher standard. Participation of women on such a grand scale would hardly have been possible had it not been for the unfaltering support of brands like Rolex. Apart from being hailed as the forerunner of the watch world, Rolex has developed the idea of promoting excellence on a global scale by sponsoring a number of sporting events like golf. Rolex has played a pivotal role in the United States and promoted a number of golfing events for women through collaboration with several organizations. In a bid to provide greater opportunity to women in all spheres of activity, Rolex ensures that due recognition and award is bestowed on talented women golfers. One of the several associations Rolex has tied up with is the LPGA or the Ladies Professional Golf Association. The LPGA in association with Rolex has been instrumental in reshaping the careers of many golfers from around the world.

Women golfers from as far away as Korea come to the events created by the LPGA in order to claim the top prize and win recognition for their respective country. Over the years not only have the LPGA events become sought after in the world of golf but have also become proving grounds for talented women to prove their mettle in the game. The incredible rise in popularity as well as the astronomical prize money offered has proved to be beneficial for the game. The whole purpose of creating world class events is to give greater opportunity to women to develop both as golfers and as humans. The LPGA stage has given rise to stars like Jiyai Shin one of the most incredible golfing talents in the sport today. Putting forward an exceptional set of golfing skills Jiyai Shin has given a number of players a run of their money. Driving the ball with such precision and force, Jiyai Shin stuns even hard line critics who watch in awe as the ball soars through the air to land almost near the hole.

Earning a total of $1,605,786 this season, Jiyai Shin won three tournaments this year in the golfing tournaments. Ranked as the second best player in the women’s golf category, Jiyai Shin has always managed to secure a place in the top ten finishes. Pushing the boundaries of performance through a combination of skill, acumen and foresight, Jiyai Shin has made quite a mark in the world of golf. Leading the standings for both the Rolex Player of the Year as well at the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year, Jiyai Shin is definitely a force to be reckoned with. In the Rolex Player of the Year standings she is leading the race with a total of 136 points while in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year she is way ahead with a total of 1344 which is almost double that of her closest competitor.

From Korea to the world, Jiyai Shin has been giving brilliant performances at a number of golfing tournaments across the globe and apart from stunning the crowd with her immense tactical playability; she has also been the source of inspiration to many aspiring women golfers.

Rolex has played a vital role in the development of talent and influencing the pursuit of excellence. Supporting a number of sporting events around the globe, Rolex has been the momentum behind the motor sports industry in America. At the turn of the century the motor sports racing championships were suffering in the United States and the lack of sponsors further accentuated the problem. Rolex changed the fortunes of the industry altogether with its unhindered sponsorship of the Grand-Am Rolex transform this game into a world class event that draws a number of talented drivers from across the globe. The Rolex Sports Car Series is one of the most prestigious and challenging race events and comprises twelve races held all over the United States.

Rolex has a proven tradition of promoting excellence and brilliance by sponsoring regattas, and New York Yacht Club also has a tradition of winning many of those regattas. This interesting aspect of history was replayed once again as the US Offshore Sailing Championship came to a close and NYYC once again managed to win the top spot. The 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship was a closely contested regatta and all along it seemed like anyone’s championship. But in the end it was the New York Yacht Club team that managed to outrace other sailors to be crowned the 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship winner.

The other interesting aspect of the 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship was the fact that entering the last race of the event there were as much as six different teams each of which practically had a chance of winning the championship. In fact the last day of racing was expected to be very intriguing and closely contested. The close contest can be gauged from the fact that NYYC which was the eventual winner had to score two top finishes even on the last day to get its hands on the prestigious trophy. And in the end it was great day for the New York Yacht Club and helped it keep its habit of ensuring amazing results in the Rolex sponsored events.

When the 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship reached the final day of this year’s regatta the Davis Island Yacht Club was the team heading the points table. Mike Gable the skipper of the Davis Island Yacht Club yacht tried real hard but could not sustain with the top level performance and the championship eventually slipped out of his hands on Sunday. In fact the way the day was on Sunday it had become obvious that this year’s championship would be contested to the last race and that is precisely what happened.

The weather was quite challenging and there was low pressure as well as cold front around the course. But fortunately southwesterly wind was blowing at 7 to 9 knots to help the sailors and the races get into motion. There were two races left on the final day and both of which involved a lot of drama and excitement. The first race was won by the Navy team managed by Jason Mazzoni and in a very interesting manner with many arguments and red flags. Bruce Kurlya and his team of New York Yacht Club came third behind Norm Dawley Southern Maryland Sailing Association but a critical protest resulted in Norm Dawley’s disqualification.

With six teams having a chance of winning the 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship at the start of last race it all came down to the last moments of the championship. The race was won by Di Mattia and Hingham Yacht Club and Bruce Kuryla again finished second which was good enough to get them the championship. The most interesting thing about the 2009 US Offshore Sailing Championship was the fact that the team that won the championship didn’t win even a single race.

2009 turned out to be the most memorable year for Jim Mitchell and his yacht Vincitore as he was named the Rolex US-IRC national champion. Every regatta, every win and every award has its own significance and every sailor takes pride in being associated with and in winning any of these. Among all these achievements the most prestigious win is to be crowned Rolex US-IRC national champion and it is not at all surprising that every eligible sailor has an eye on the title throughout the year. Though every win is important and involves a lot of hard work and skills, yet to perform consistently at the top throughout the year is a near impossible task but a must for anyone who has any intentions of wining the most coveted award of the year, the Rolex US-IRC national champion. Similarly, it was not an easy task for Jim Mitchell but he managed to do just that in 2009 and became the holder of the immensely popular trophy.

For Rolex it has been a way of doing things to be involved in promoting human excellence and human endurance and Rolex always believes in prompting such opportunities in every field possible. Its involvement with the world of sailing is quite old now and it has been involved at various levels in promoting the sailors, sailing and sailing events. In fact the role that Rolex has been playing is duly respected by the sailors and the entire sailing community as becomes evident from the kind of prestige that is attached to the events Rolex is involved with and the extra hard work sailors put in getting their efforts recognized by performing their best in winning Rolex sponsored events and awards. In the impressive list of awards that Rolex offers to the best sailors the one that ranks among the best is the Rolex US-IRC national champion. Winning it is one of the core aims of every sailor who is ready to give his best while riding those waves to ensure that at the end of year he can be the winner and get crowned Rolex US-IRC national champion.

The year 2009 had some of the best sailors in the history of sailing vying for the top honors and the competition was one of the most competitive ever which made it very difficult for anyone to be sure of winning the Rolex US-IRC national champion. But it is also the time when the best sailors get the time to showcase their talent and come out top. That is precisely what Jim Mitchell ensured while sailing to multiple wins and consistent performances in the year 2009. His wins in 2009 included 2009 International Rolex Regatta (St Thomas), 2009 Nanny Cay Cup, 2009 BVI Spring Regatta, 2009 Chicago Mackinac Race, 2009 Bayview Mackinac Race and finally 2009 Rolex Big Boat Series. With so many wins there is no doubt about the fact that it was a year that belonged to Jim Mitchell and his crew who truly deserved to win the Rolex US-IRC national champion.

Rolex watches are the kind of timepieces that can master the art of timekeeping in a manner that is not only supernatural but also bears with it a lot of conviction in terms of delivering the most accurate of timings. Rolex is a name in the industry that has created a niche that is almost without competition from the rest of the watch market. What is however important to understand is the fact that Rolex watches can claim a supremacy that they also back with a lot of craft and attention that go into making their watches timeless masterpieces. Rolex has had a lot of obstacles to deal with on its way to reaching where it has got today, but it has separated those obstacles from a determination to excel and this is what lends to these watches the supernatural element. Not only are Rolex watches delivered as a package that is unsurpassable but the time that they offer to the wearers is one that is most perfected in accuracy. The supernatural element of the Rolex watch is what makes it better than the best and when Rolex goes into the domain of delivering a spirit of greatness to people who are important for it leaves no stone unturned. The Rolex Deepsea borrows from the Rolex tradition and what it does more often than not is to cater to people who are usually sea divers and require that their watch display precise time at all hours and at all places no matter how deep in the sea it is.

Jared Padalecki started his career with a minor role in the film A Little Inside going on to play a character role in the popular television series Gilmore Girls. He has also lent his acting credits to films like New York Minute, House of Wax. He also appeared in several films for television, some of which were Silent Witness, A Ring of Endless Light and Close to Home. The actor was cast to play the role of Sam Winchester in the WB series Supernatural. His recent venture that saw a mega release this year is the film Friday the 13^th. The actor continues with his lead in Supernatural while pursuing other interesting projects.

The Rolex Deepsea as a superlative chronometer carries with it the obvious assumption that the watch has been certified because it can deliver the truth of time. The bracelet of the watch is an Oyster Fliplock that also comes with a Rolex Glidelock clasp and the watch is self wound to keep the looking after the watch process to the minimum. The watch is also waterproof to an amazing and almost supernatural depth of 12,800 feet. Crystallized in sapphire, the Rolex Deepsea carries a size of 44mm around with a lot of character. The steel material of the watch is almost a must for lending the element of efficiency to this extremely stylish watch. The black dial of the watch completes the look of the watch that also sports a unidirectional rotatable bezel that allows one to check decompression times always. The most special aspect of the Rolex Deepsea is the revolutionary Ring Lock system that it incorporates in it. This is a very inventive example of case architecture and allows the watch and its internal mechanism to withstand water pressure at the most extreme of water depths. There is also a helium escape valve that withstands decompression and like Jared Padalecki the Rolex Deepsea delivers a brilliance that is almost supernatural.
