Mackenzie Hughes LLP Secures Landmark Victory for Private Golf Club

SYRACUSE, NY, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Mackenzie Hughes LLP successfully defended Cazenovia Golf Club in a pivotal New York Court of Appeals decision ( Katleski v. Cazenovia Golf Club ), reinforcing significant legal protections for golf course owners and operators nationwide.
The case centered on an incident in which the plaintiff was struck by an errant golf ball during a tournament at Cazenovia Golf Club. Allegations included claims of negligence based on course design. The Court decisively ruled in favor of Cazenovia Golf Club, affirming the primary assumption of risk doctrine and establishing clear boundaries for liability associated with inherent risks in golf.
This decision has far-reaching implications, potentially influencing insurance policies, risk management practices and future litigation involving golf course safety across the country. The ruling highlights the ongoing absence of universally accepted safety standards in the golf industry.
Jennifer Caggiano, the lead trial attorney from Mackenzie Hughes LLP, successfully represented Cazenovia Golf Club throughout this critical case. Jennifer recently provided expert commentary on the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) Golf Business Live podcast, discussing key insights and implications from the court's decision.
Jennifer Caggiano is available for interviews and can provide in-depth analysis on:
• The wider implications of this landmark ruling for golf course management.
• Best practices for mitigating risk and managing liability in golf operations.
• How this legal precedent might reshape industry standards nationwide.

Can Investing $10,000 in Quantum Computing (QUBT) Stock Turn Into $1 Million by 2035?

Quantum Computing would need to deliver a CAGR of roughly 58.49% to turn $10,000 into $1 million by 2035. Explosive growth in the photonic integrated circuit market could help the company achieve this goal. However, the probability that Quantum Computing will be a millionaire-maker in 10 years is still low. 10 stocks we like better than Quantum Computing › Quantum Computing (NASDAQ: QUBT) is an up-and-coming pioneer in the red-hot field of quantum computing. Could investing $10,000 in this stock turn into $1 million by 2035? It's possible, but the odds are stacked against it. That said, I think there is a viable path for Quantum Computing to make you a millionaire over the next 10 years. Here's what would be required. Quantum Computing's market cap currently hovers around $2.66 billion. Its share price was $18.88 at the market close on June 20, 2025. An investment of $10,000 would buy 529 shares at that price, with $12.48 left over. The company's share price would need to grow 100x to $1,888 for a $10,000 initial investment (assuming you didn't buy any fractional shares) to be worth $1 million in a decade. That reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 58.49%. Quantum Computing has certainly demonstrated that it can deliver a much greater annual return than that over the short term. Over the last 12 months, the stock has skyrocketed by more than 3,000%. Sustaining a CAGR of 58.49% over 10 years is a daunting task, but it's not impossible. For example, a $10,000 investment in Nvidia in 2015 would be worth over $2.6 million today. Of course, you would have had to resist the temptation to sell during the GPU stock's huge swings up and down during that period. Now for a more difficult question: How could Quantum Computing stock achieve a CAGR of 58.49% over the next 10 years? To answer this question, we need to understand the company's business. Quantum Computing uses integrated photonics (computing with particles of light) and nonlinear quantum optics to develop quantum computers. The company believes its approach to quantum computing is superior to rivals' methods that use superconducting, trapped-ion, and annealing architectures. Photons' advantages include lower energy consumption, faster processing, and scalability. The photonic integrated circuit market size in 2024 was around $15 billion. Over the next five years, this market is projected to expand by a CAGR of 20.5% to $38.4 billion. While that is an impressive growth rate, it isn't enough to propel Quantum Computing stock 100x higher. But Quantum Computing could grow significantly faster than the overall photonic integrated circuit market. The company's thin film lithium niobate wafers, which it believes will be "the silicon of the future," could make it possible. Also, the photonic integrated circuit market's growth could accelerate beyond 2029. I could envision this occurring if the adoption of the technology in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, and high-performance computing takes off in a huge way. It's quite possible that investing $10,000 in Quantum Computing stock could make you a millionaire over the next 10 years. But how probable is this scenario? The odds aren't great. For one thing, Quantum Computing's photonics technology might be surpassed by approaches that prove to be even better. Many of the companies investing heavily in developing quantum computers have deep pockets, including Google parent Alphabet, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Other rising stars in the quantum computing industry, such as IonQ, D-Wave Quantum, and Rigetti Computing, could potentially be bigger winners than Quantum Computing. Perhaps progress in advancing quantum computing technology won't be fast enough to support the market growth required for Quantum Computing to be a millionaire-maker. I suspect that won't be the case, but I wouldn't rule it out. The good news for investors, though, is that Quantum Computing doesn't have to turn an initial $10,000 into $1 million by 2035 to still deliver exceptional returns. Before you buy stock in Quantum Computing, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Quantum Computing wasn't one of them.

Asheville 2025 unofficial Ice Cream Trail: A guide to sweet, cool treats

This story has been updated with additional information. ASHEVILLE - The Asheville area is heating up with new and unique places to cool down with sweet treats this summer. Hilltop Ice Cream Shop, a longtime Fairview favorite, opened its second location in Woodfin at 235 Weaverville Road, formerly Pelican's SnoBalls. Hilltop is one of the many family friendly dessert shops, in good company with other local businesses, like The Hop Ice Cream, Sunshine Sammie's and The Freeze of Asheville. However, there's a new place in town for the adults to play and have their ice cream, too. Potential New Boyfriend, a Hi-Fi listening lounge and wine bar at 647 Haywood Road, offers a menu of savory and sweet bites, including an assortment of ice cream dishes. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to visit. Also, we spoke with Potential New Boyfriend's owner and ice cream maker about the secret to mastering artisanal ice cream and wine pairings. The Asheville Citizen Times compiled an unofficial 2025 Asheville Ice Cream Trail Guide, featuring places to purchase ice cream, gelato, and other cold and frozen treats. It was inspired by Hendersonville's official Ice Cream Trail, introduced in 2023, that encourages locals and visitors to explore the city's local shops. Get ready for a delicious summer, as you discover new dessert destinations and revisit old favorites. Potential New Boyfriend invites guests to listen to vinyl albums while sipping wine and nibbling on gourmet sweet and savory goodies. The ice cream (and all the food items) are made in-house, which is said to be the secret to the menu's success. Ice creams are offered in an assortment of styles and flavors, including affogato (an Italian drink of espresso and ice cream) and ice cream brûlée (ice cream with a caramelized sugar layer on top). Wine and ice cream pairings are curated to enhance the tasting experience, whether ordering a scoop of ice cream or a sundae. Wine pairings are listed on the menu, which includes a "flow chart" describing the selections, or servers may suggest complementary drinks. "Our wine program has a big focus on fortified and aromatic wines ― wines that are infused with other botanicals like fruits, herbs and spices ― so they have more sweet, tart or aromatic pairings," said Disco, the owner, who opened the business last December. Each ice cream is made from scratch with a French-style custard base that's specifically tailored to the item, taking into account its fat content and flavors. For instance, chocolate has a higher fat content than fruit, necessitating adjustments to the recipe. Disco, who previously sold his products at local farmers markets as Gospel Artisanal Ice Cream, said he studied the science of ice cream to develop his original recipes and flavors. Many flavors are unique to what one may find at a traditional ice cream shop and are created with adult palates in mind, such as the rosemary and candied lemon. Classics like the "cookies and cream" is made with Biscoff cookies to give it a sophisticated twist, as is the strawberry and mascarpone cheese, which is a riff on strawberries and cream. The seasonal menu rotates often. "We have too many ideas to keep something for too long, so we do change things more often than a traditional restaurant," Disco said. Potential New Boyfriend also offers vegan ice cream, plated desserts, such as tiramisu and chocolate truffles, as well as savory shareables. Ice cream pints to-go are available.
