I’ve attended hundreds, actually thousands of events looking for Mr. and Miss Rights for very eligible single men and women since creating SPIES – an executive-search style matchmaking firm in 1994. SPIES stands for Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective. The results we’ve obtained – SPIES 95% success rate – is because we’re constantly at the best and admittedly, sometimes not the best – we don’t know until we get there – looking for love. We’re compiling our latest SPIES Best Place to Meet Single Men and Single Ladies. The WM Phoenix Open PGA Golf Tournament is #1 by far! Add in the Coors Light Birds Nest and it snags #2. You can go to either one without ever seeing golf!
This week is the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open PGA Golf Tournament. With 400,000-600,000 previous years’ weekly visitor counts, it’s become known as “The Greatest Show on Grass”…for what happens on the fairways and even more for the business networking, partying and girl and guy watching that happens in the corporate skyboxes and party tents alongside it.
The Phoenix Open is the Super Bowl meets Mardi Gras of people watching. Every year, women get on their boots and tight and/or low cut sexy outfits and head to Scottsdale’s TPC Golf Course in hopes of landing a wealthy golf watcher, celebrity, or corporate sponsor CEO caliber man. Ladies, hold onto your husbands and boyfriends.
At the end of each day’s golf, Wednesday through Saturday, there’s the Coors Light Birds Nest huge entertainment tent with scantily clad, mostly 20-something female servers who could give Hooter’s a run for their money. It took some digging to find the lineup of entertainment at the 2012 Phoenix Open Coors Light Bird’s Nest. I couldn’t find it on their fancy new iPhone app. That’s another new addition. You are now allowed to keep in touch with the office and your family and bring in your iPhones and Androids and you don’t have to hide them in your socks or underwear (their words). There are restrictions on their site. We’ll see who pays attention to it. At least, please turn your ringers off.

Phoenix Open Birds Nest ranks #2 on matchmaker Roseann Higgins "SPIES Best Place to meet Single Men and Single Ladies"
Millions of dollars are raised for charities at the WM Phoenix Open by the Thunderbirds – Arizona’s most prestigious philanthropic man club. They maintain 55 Active Thunderbirds who, with the help of Life Thunderbirds (aka Lifebirds, men who are retired from active status after years of backbreaking work, month in and month out, for this huge annual event, on their 45th birthdays into Lifebird status), have raised millions of dollars for charities as hosts of the 76 year Phoenix Open! Congratulations!
Per their own website, Thunderbirds Charities supports “the courageous athletes of the Special Olympics, youngsters of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Scottsdale, Phoenix and East Valley and the affiliated agencies of the Valley of the Sun United Way.”
One girl told me she has a first date at the Coors Light Birds Nest. (Not with a SPIES client.) How romantic. Music so loud you can hardly talk and thousands of single men and women on the hunt or being the hunted. I asked, “Why bring sand to the beach?” Maybe if you’ve been dating awhile, listening to the Goo Goo Dolls and seeing friends you haven’t seen since last year or in several years, could be a blast. A first date at the Phoenix Open Birds Nest is a true test of any visual man’s ability to stay focused on you and too soon to be testing. Good luck!
I’ll be at the Phoenix Open all week, starting with tonight’s Opening Night Tuesday Night Fever, searching for new single men and women who might be great dates for SPIES’ clientele.
People who work hard all year do and should plan to come spend a beautiful day outside on the golf course having a little fun and reconnecting with friends they may not have seen in years. I love every time I see some of the 45,000 people I’ve met in our community of 3 million residents since starting this company. And yes, if you’re a veteran Phoenix Open attendee, you know that among the thousands of attendees each day, you will find a prevalent presence of amazon blond and brunette gold diggers. They are ineligible for my matchmaking services because successful men can find girls who want their money free and this is not the Millionaire Matchmaker TV show. If you want to “meet my millionaires” (what she says on the show) and I get wind of it? “By by! You’re free. And you’re on your own.” By 8 or 9 pm every night, the Birds Nest can become toxic with extreme partiers – also given a pass by this matchmaker. So, you may want to go early and get out! Plenty of tournament and early Birds Nest goers leave for nearby Scottsdale venues who host special parties for Phoenix Open attendees. Prime Bar at Scottsdale Quarter shared on Twitter they will offer a free entree or beverage with your Phoenix Open ticket.
If I haven’t seen you lately, you may enjoy learning SPIES is doing quite well! We’ve averaged introducing a marriage every six weeks since opening our doors in 1994. Through hard work and determination. As alluded to earlier, 95% of the people we introduce want to see each other again. And again. And again!
SPIES has become known for it’s unique search methods – in a good way. We’ve given back and raised over $200,000 for Phoenix area charities while out looking for special men and women to date our clientele.
Our private clientele want a relationship and to be done with serial dating the wrong ones they meet on their own. My job is finding one-in-a-millions at these events for especially selective single men and single women who might be too busy or bad at choosing the right mate or the right dates without some professional assistance. I go to more events and meet more people than they, or nearly anyone, has the time to. And I love my job!
So, if you don’t fall in love this week at the WM Phoenix Open, perhaps you should check out SPIES matchmaking success stories and come in and see what we can do for you. Or maybe you have a terrific single friend you want to find someone special? I’m here. You can call me personally and ask me anything before hiring us.
Thanks for reading and stopping by. If you go to the Phoenix Open, look for the 6′ blond in tennis shoes. I hope to see you soon!
