Publisher’sNotes
By Timothy J. Pade • pade@desertgolfer.com
In this issue, we are proud to feature the most decorated
Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, whose record totals 22
medals. Phelps holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals
(18, double the second highest record holders), Olympic gold
medals in individual events (11) and Olympic medals in individual
events for a male (13). In winning eight gold medals at the 2008
Beijing Games, Phelps took the record for the most first-place
finishes at any single Olympic Games. Five of those victories were
in individual events, tying the single Games record. In the 2012
Summer Olympics in London, Phelps won four gold and two silver
medals, making him the most successful athlete of the Games for
the third Olympics in a row.
Now retired from the sport of swimming, Phelps has become
an accomplished golfer, bringing the same passion and dedication
to his new sport as he did to swimming. Most recently, he was
featured on the Golf Channel with renowned instructor Hank
Haney. Haney has worked with Phelps to improve his game for
more than a year, and he continues to coach him on and off the golf
course.
Our photographer Dane Andrew has given us a superb cover
shot, capturing Phelps’ intensity on the golf course. While we may
no longer see Phelps in swimming pools around the world, he is
often seen in high-profile celebrity tournaments such as the Ryder
Cup Pro-Am, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and, most recently, in
the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe. Please see
our profile of this dynamic and accomplished athlete starting on
pg. 12.
Also in this issue, you will find an insightful report on Donald
Trump’s new course in Aberdeen, Scotland, written by our own
Clive Clark, a European PGA Tour star, Ryder Cup player and
accomplished golf-course architect. See his review of the course on
pg. 16.
Meanwhile, David McLay Kidd, another accomplished course
architect, has created a notable layout at Huntsman Springs in
Idaho’s Teton Valley. We at Desert Golf Magazine predict that this
new gem will soon achieve high rankings. Additionally, all profits
from this resort go to cancer research, so golfers have multiple
reasons to play here. See more about Huntsman Springs on pg. 20.
On pages 24-27 and 28-31 we feature two amazing golf
facilities in the Coachella Valley: Bermuda Dunes Country Club
and Desert Willow. Bermuda Dunes is a classic layout that was in
the Bob Hope Classic rotation for 50 years. There is a lot going on
at this venerable club, including some changes to the facilities that
will make this beloved club even better. Desert Willow in Palm
Desert offers two courses that provide a championship experience
akin to that in top private clubs, yet they are open to the public.
Owned by the city of Palm Desert, this facility provides amazing
golf as well as a spectacular clubhouse with excellent dining.
As always, we also provide comprehensive coverage of all the
lifestyle elements that matter, including real estate, dining, fashion
and jewelry. Of particular note is our travel feature on Jamaica; if
you have not yet made it to this fascinating Caribbean island,
consider a trip over the coming months. And our automotive
reviewer offers up a look at the new Mercedes Concept S Class
Coupe. Finally, our golf course guides provide the latest
information on courses in the desert region.
We hope you enjoy this issue and that you’re already having an
amazing start to this new season—we’re proud to be part of it with
you.

“G
olf really is a dangerous sport,”
quips Olympian Michael
Phelps. But we’ll get to that
story a little later.
Born in Baltimore, 28-year-old Phelps is
famous for being the most decorated
Olympian of all time with 22 medals, 18 of
them gold. After the London games in
2012, Phelps officially retired from
swimming.
Once the celebratory trip to Disneyland
was over, whatever was a 27-year-old retired
Olympian and multimillionaire to do? In
Phelps’ case, he decided to play golf.
Accustomed to the regimen and
success of training, Phelps enlisted the aid
of renowned swing coach Hank Haney. It
was suggested to the young athlete, a
complete newbie to the game, that he sign
up as Haney’s next student on the coach’s
popular television show, The Haney
Project. Phelps accepted, thinking, “How
hard can this be?”
One year later Phelps exclaims, “It’s
brutal! I don’t understand how it can be
that hard to hit this little tiny white ball
and hit it straight every time. But it just
doesn’t happen for me.”
Averaging 110–115 in his first year,
Phelps admits to currently not having a
registered handicap. However, he is happy
to say that he has shot a few rounds in the
mid-80s and is steadily improving.
Not surprising, Phelps did not
anticipate how humbling this game can be.
“It’s been an eye-opening experienced for
me just because I’ve usually been able to
pick everything up fairly quickly. This has
been a sport where, when I was with Hank
on the Haney Project for six months, we
must have hit almost 20,000 balls. I still
have calluses and blisters and am taping up
my hands almost every day.”
Now possessing more game and more
confidence, Phelps feels honored when
invited to play in PGA Pro-Ams raising
money for charity. “I played in the Pro-Am
at the Ryder Cup and the Waste
Management, as well as a couple of others
that were really nerve-cracking, like
Medinah. Going out there in front of
thousands and thousands of people, I was
so nervous I couldn’t put the tee in the
ground. I had to take a 3-wood, crank the
tee and put the ball on the top so my hands
weren’t shaking so much.”
Charity golf tournaments aren’t the
only charities that Phelps is involved in. He
has his own foundation, the IM Program,
and the goal is simple: Encourage children
to live healthy and active lifestyles and
teach them how to swim.
“We work with the Boys & Girls Clubs
of America,” explains Phelps. “In four years,
more than 3,000 kids have become water
safe, which helps them believe in
themselves, helps them set goals. It’s been
cool being able to get some of the stories
that I’ve gotten from kids who have
13

Instructor Hank Haney, Win McMurray and Michael Phelps
overcome fears, who have started heading in the right direction in
terms of goals they want to achieve. That’s something that excites
me and that’s one of my favorite things!” You can learn more at
michaelphelpsfoundation.org
Phelps may not be ready for professional status on the golf tour,
but he does have a club-endorsement agreement with Ping. After
14
touring Ping’s Arizona facility, Phelps was fitted for a set of clubs
that accommodates his 6-foot-4-inch frame, long arms and large
hands. He’s already noticed a big improvement in the flight of the
ball. “It’s pretty wild,” he recently told the media. “It’s crazy to think
this sport is so technical. A lot of sports are very technical, but one
of the (Ping) guys said there are 50-something different shafts they
can put on the clubs. I’m used to having a pair of goggles; a small,
medium or large swim cap; and a jammer to put on and that’s it.”
Ping did add a few special touches to Phelps’ clubs, including
accents in red, white, blue and gold.
“I just want to have fun,” the 28-year-old says. “That’s the biggest
thing.” Phelps truly enjoys playing with other athletes. “That’s the
cool thing,” he says. “We all just love the sport. Even though it’s a
very challenging sport and a very humbling sport, we all still love to
go out there and play any course because you’ll never see the same
course twice.”
After a moment’s pause, he continues. “If you do replay a course,
the same hole might not even be able to be played the exact same
way you played it before. I think that’s something that’s pretty neat
about golf. In a swimming pool, I saw a black line on the bottom and
swam in lane lines in 78-degree water. There’s really not much you
can change in that environment.”
As for the injury and the bulky black boot he now needs to
wear, it seems that the former swimmer worsened an existing stress
fracture while playing golf, perhaps by stepping into a hole. “Golf
really is a dangerous sport,” he says with a laugh. “The good thing is,
I only have to pack one shoe.”

CourseDesign
By Clive Clark
“The Donald,” not one to hide his light
under a bushel, declared his new course,
Trump International Scotland, as “the greatest
course in the world.”
Well, maybe; however, the course raters at
Golf Magazine ranked it No. 50 on their list of
the Top 100 Courses in the world. Lofty
praise for a new course, you might think. But
Trump didn’t view it that way, responding, “I
am honored, but not thrilled.” He believes
his course is destined to achieve its rightful place above
Augusta, Cyprus and Pine Valley, not to mention the grand old links of
Scotland, including the Old Course at St Andrews, Muirfield and
Turnberry.
Trump International Scotland is located 10 miles north of
Aberdeen, which is a three-hour drive north of Edinburgh and halfway
up the east coast of Scotland. Politically, it has raised many eyebrows in
golf’s native country. The Scots are a calm and ‘dour’ nation of folk, but
expose them to Trump’s bold tactics and they rise like a swarm of
discontented hornets. The to’ing and fro’ing during the permitting
process ended similarly to the 1746 Battle of Culloden, where several
small detachments and a couple of battalions went missing in action.
Who knows what bones will be discovered in time down in the depths
of the deepest bunkers?
But that’s enough about the politics. What is the course like and is it
worth a trip from the West Coast of the United States? Trump’s course
meanders partially through a wildlife reserve and also through massive
sand dunes that are, literally, a moving feast. Many said that even if
planning permits were granted, it would be impossible to stabilize the
dunes. Trump didn’t believe that and, having battled his way through
the permitting process, he had battalions of green staff plant an amazing
11.5 million individual marram plants, which are native to sand dunes
and about the only thing that will stabilize them.
In short, the course is spectacular and dramatic. Martin Hawtree, the
British golf-course designer whose family has been in the business for a
17
CourseDesign
long time, did a very good job. Whichever
photographs you have seen, they don’t do
this course justice. In the flesh, the sand
dunes are at least double the size they
appear to be in mere images. Some tees are
perched at least 100 feet above the fairway,
providing magnificent views of the course
and, in some instances, spectacular long
views out to the North Sea.
Trump being Trump, no expense has
been spared at Trump International
Scotland. However, golf connoisseurs and
aficionados alike have raised concerns as
to whether or not the course plays like a
true traditional Scottish links. In an effort
to grow the course in, the fairways contain
a substantial amount of rye grass, the
same cultivar as is used for the overseeding process in all of our U.S. desert
courses. As you may know, that produces
a “Hollywood green” appearance, and
partially because the fairways are new and
18
need a lot of water during grow-in, they
also play slow with little run. This is a far
cry from the pace and color of traditional
links, although as the course matures, I
am sure these true-links qualities will
emerge.
The Scots may raise their eyebrows at
the $300 greens fee; however, it’s very
much in line with Muirfield, Turnberry,
Castle Stuart and Kingsbarns. Agreed, this
is quite a lot of money for a round of golf,
but if you compare it to Pebble Beach at
$495, Spy Glass at $370 and Whistling
Straits at $360, it’s not over the top.
Fee aside, the course has many fans. It
has been called “awesome” and “amazing,”
and more than a few believe it is likely to
become one of the top 10 courses in the
world. There is no doubt that this is a mustplay golf course. It’s challenging but
playable, a par 72 that measures 7,423 yards
from the tips. There are 108 tees, which
equates to six tees per hole, meaning there
is a tee to suit every category of golfer.
Bunkers? Yes! There are 93 traditional
pot bunkers—18 of them on the 18th
hole! That’s almost 20 percent of the
CourseDesign
bunkers on No. 18, which makes me think of Walter Danecki. He
was the mailman from Milwaukee who made a bogus entry to the
British Open by fraudulently declaring himself a scratch player
when, in fact, he was struggling off a 24 handicap. He got stuck in a
few bunkers as he carded his way to a record-smashing score of 119.
Sadly, he did not improve on this effort in the 2nd round. The mind
boggles thinking about how he would have tackled this beauty, the
18th at Trump.
We may never know the answer to that. But you can certainly
find out how you do on Trump’s spectacular closing hole.

I
n just four years, a first-class mountain resort in the Teton Valley
continually proves that that an idyllic rural retreat can indeed provide
sumptuous creature comforts without commercialism and crowds. In
Driggs, Idaho, Huntsman Springs operates in such a quietly efficient,
personable way that harried urbanites continually choose it for an extended
getaway. The resort is the creation of four-time cancer survivor, international
businessman and philanthropist Jon Huntsman, Sr., and all profits garnered
by the resort are donated to cancer research. His inspiration for Huntsman
Springs? A day on the Teton River casting for trout.
David Huntsman, resort CEO and president of the Huntsman Cancer
Foundation says, “My father is an avid fisherman and he loves Idaho—he was
born and raised not far from Huntsman Springs. He is very hard-charging
and driven from a business sense, and when he goes to the river he is always
thinking of a business justification to rationalize spending time fishing.”
Huntsman says that his father began buying thousands of acres of land in
the Teton Valley. “He thought it would be a passive investment, but it
evolved into something that could benefit those suffering from cancer.
That’s our driving motivation every single day.” All profits from Huntsman
Springs go to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, owned and run by the
University of Utah, which specializes in genetic cancer research. The
foundation is structured so that the Huntsman family can never accept any
of its accompanying profits.
Golf Course Architect David McLay Kidd
Scottish-born David McLay Kidd, who counts St. Andrews Links’ Castle
Course among his creations, was charged with putting together a worldclass destination golf course in the Teton Valley. “It’s designed as maximum
risk, maximum reward,” says Tony Snoey, Huntsman Springs’ general
manager and president. “Options are always different, depending on time of
day and weather. It’s a good test of golf. That being said, the views are pretty,
the course is in pristine condition and hospitality is second to none. It’s a total
experience in the Grand Tetons.
21
PlayWorthy
the wellness center opens in 2014,
complimentary swimming and tennis
lessons will be offered as well.
The Huntsmans have donated funds
for Driggs’ new county courthouse and
upgrades for its high school ball fields. Each
year, the resort hosts an annual “Celebrate
America” festival, free to the public and
held downtown the week before
Independence Day. Guests enjoy a county
fair and a nighttime concert with fireworks
held on the Huntsman Springs driving
range. The event began in 2010 with 7,000
attending and grew to an estimated 30,000
this year.
Huntsman Springs’ logos feature
Lucky Pierre, the resort’s resident rare
white buffalo, considered sacred in some
cultures. Visitors from around the region
come to see and snap photos of the friendly
2,000-pound mascot and his female herd.
The family owns a collection of classic cars,
and the resort displays one each week for
Mountain View Lodge
“First-timers say, ‘Wow, that was tough,
but it’s fun and I can’t wait to get back out
there.’ They probably left some shots.
Every time you play, it opens more and
more to reveal itself. It’s mysterious the first
few times until you learn its nuances.
Members love it.”
The course and resort community have
been recognized with at least 15 national
awards. While golf is a showpiece, the
resort also offers stellar fly-fishing, hiking
and biking, and access to an annual 500
inches of powder at Grand Targhee Ski
Resort, just 12 miles away. Snoey says,
“Huntsman Springs is also becoming
known for service. We take great care of
our members and guests, and nothing goes
unchecked—whether it’s stocking homes
with groceries, shuttling them to and from
the airport, picking up a license at the
courthouse or finding a mechanic to fix
their car. You can have the best amenities
money can buy, but you need the right
people to make them work.”
A new venue with tennis courts,
swimming pool and spa is scheduled to
open onsite next June. “The upcoming
wellness center is important from a family
aspect; we want to have exciting and fun
opportunities available for those who are
not golfers,” Huntsman says. “We’re proud
of what we’ve done and think our property
sells itself. We want people to experience it
for themselves, and we think they’ll agree
with us that it’s a wonderful place for
families and to get away. It’s important that
is bears our family name—it’s near and dear
22
to our hearts and very personal.”
Huntsman
Springs’
residential
community attracts successful families and
individuals from around the country who
maintain second and third homes, but
members are not required to own
property to enjoy the resort. Memberships
are streamlined. “Once you pay your dues,
there are no cart fees and no food-andbeverage minimum,” says Snoey. Golf
lessons are unlimited and complimentary.
“Our PGA staff provides about 10 lessons a
day to our members, whether they are just
learning or improving their game.” When
area auto enthusiasts. “The Huntsmans try
to be a great partner to the community,”
says Snoey.
Do the Huntsmans get to enjoy their
namesake resort? “My parents have nine
children and 56 grandchildren,” says
Huntsman. “It takes an entire community
like Huntsman Springs to hold a family
reunion.”

Classic
clas·sic adjective \kla-sik\
a: serving as a standard of excellence :
of recognized value.
b: traditional, enduring.
c: characterized by simple tailored lines in
fashion year after year.
Whether it's a car, a boat, a movie or a
golf club, the characteristics are the same.
The definition speaks for itself. Classics are
generated by visionaries executing a
futuristic concept during construction,
fueled by the belief their design principles
will stand the test of time. If they are
correct, the passing of the years will
eventually christen their creation as such.
While many were built during a period
of timeless architecture, not all of the
Coachella Valley's older courses have
attained the classic label. Some were never
destined to reach classic status. Others,
their 1950s roots abandoned, were
updated beyond recognition.
Of course, renovation projects are not
all evil or even necessarily anti-historical;
indeed, it's vital that clubs improve
periodically to maintain membership and
attract new members. The ideal situation
for any club is to have a golf course that
stands the test of time, like a leather
motorcycle jacket or the little black
dress—or like Bermuda Dunes Country
Club.
The signs of its 1959 birthday are
everywhere. From the homes in the
25
PlayWorthy
community to the welcome mats, from the Barbacide, Clubman,
and Vitalis available in the men's locker room to the first tee of the
Classic 1 Course, Bermuda Dunes Country Club is a trip back in
time. The low, flat roofs, sharp angles and floor-to-ceiling windows
featured in the architecture throughout the community set the tone
for the experience even before one reaches the clubhouse. The
original clubhouse was not much bigger than the homes that
surrounded it; however, in 1985, the original was replaced with the
current Spanish-influenced clubhouse, which boasts 45,000 square
feet within the walls of its contemporary Southwestern design.
With 18 holes crafted by William Bell Jr., the club quickly filled
its membership roster with Southern California's elite. Original
members included Clark Gable, Cary Grant, William Holden,
Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, helping to propel Bermuda
Dunes into its lofty place among the Coachella Valley's original 18hole championship-caliber courses.
The club requisitioned Bell Jr. to design the Lakes Course in
1963, creating 27 architecturally congruous holes. These nine new
holes blended seamlessly with the originals, making Bermuda
Dunes one of the first in the valley to offer 27 holes of golf to its
members. The strength of the layout kept it in the Bob Hope
Classic rotation of courses for 50 years, and Arnold Palmer played
Bermuda Dunes to PGA Tour wins in 1959, 1960 and 1973, the
last being his final Tour win.
“I think the course that we have is classic in design and classic
in the way you play it. If you hit good shots, you play well,” says
26
Tony Hoyles, the club’s director of golf. “The members like that
there is nothing hidden, nothing tricky. It’s just good golf.”
The original nines have been appropriately dubbed Classic 1
(3,503 yards) and Classic 2 (3,514 yards). Together, they make up the
Classic Course and are numbered 1-18, with each nine a par 36 from
the black tees. The third nine is referred to as The Lake Course
(3,271 yards), also a par 36.
One spin around quickly reveals why the Classic Course is a
favorite of members and PGA Tour pros alike. With a generally flat
layout, and tees just off to the sides and backs of the greens, the
nines are eminently walkable. Bell Jr. scraped interest and
landforms from the flat desert, building up certain tees and greens
and including the occasional holding pond/hazard. There's also the
1950s bunkering that still exists at Bermuda Dunes today as the
proverbial classic example of how Bell Jr. and his contemporaries
employed sand traps on the golf course.
While the bunkers may be somewhat simple in shape
compared to more modern concepts, they are always a factor in
play. Whether they front the green on the left and right, as they do
on each and every hole of Classic 1, or encircle the green as they do
on Classic 2’s 160-yard par 3 No. 12, golfers find themselves giving
the bunkers great consideration. Or they find themselves playing
out of them. Or both.
“They do a good job of being right in the way,” says Hoyles of the
bunkers. “It seems like they come into play on every approach. For
an amateur golfer who tends to come up a half club short, that puts
PlayWorthy
them directly in play. The greens also have
a reputation for being firm and fast, and
they're small. So if you go over a green,
you've got your work cut out for you, too.”
Even a flawless 1959 Impala has a new
stereo, and often a few other key parts
replaced along the way. Bermuda Dunes
has executed the equivalent at the club,
completing such capital-improvement
projects as renovation of green complexes
on all 27 holes and the addition of a new
well, both in the last four years. There has
also been work to minimize Bermuda
Dunes’ irrigated turf. But, while subtle
changes and improvements have been
made under the hood, the courses remain
as close to unmolested as 55 years of play,
growth and environmental effects allow.
It's said down South, “If it ain't broke,
don't fix it.” And if you've got a classic like
Bermuda Dunes, you don't fix it. You
enjoy it.

Firecliff Hole No. 17
PlayWorthy
A
ll you need is one quick glance and you’ll understand
why Desert Willow Golf Resort has become one of the
premier golfing destinations in Palm Desert, Calif. From
its high-end golf academy to its exquisitely remodeled
clubhouse and impeccable views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the
resort offers distinctive country club appeal—yet it’s open and
available to the public. And just like a fine country club, Desert
Willow’s staff of golf instructors is exceptional, and its range of dining
options, from teriyaki chicken sandwiches to lobster mac n’ cheese,
is able to satisfy all taste buds.
But make no mistake about it: The resort’s two courses, Firecliff
and Mountain View, are the main attractions.
Voted the No. 1 Best Public Access Course by Desert Golf
Magazine every year since 2010, Firecliff features tight fairways; fast,
sloping greens; and over 100 bunkers to challenge golfers of all skill
levels. Measuring 7,056 yards from the back tees, the course, which
currently has a 138 slope and 73.6 course rating, is typically
described with one adjective: thrilling.
“Course management is crucial, as there are plenty of water
hazards and bunkers surrounding the greens and fairways,” says
Bruce Nation, director of sales and marketing for the resort. “The
water hazards can be unforgiving and the bunker placements are
difficult. To avoid high scores, golfers must tactically maneuver their
way around the course.”
Whereas the challenges of Firecliff are immediately apparent,
Mountain View offers golfers a more tranquil experience.
Surrounded entirely by the Santa Rosa Mountains, the course is not
as long or narrow as Firecliff, and it does not feature as many hazards.
That said, Mountain View is anything but a cakewalk at 6,913 yards
from the tips.
Opened for public use in 1997, the courses were designed by two
renowned course architects, Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, along
with John Cook, an 11-time PGA Tour winner. Since their founding,
each of the courses, operated by Kemper Sports Management and
owned by the city of Palm Desert, has received national recognition,
appearing on Golfweek and Golf World’s Best Municipal Courses lists.
Last year, Golf Digest rated Firecliff and Mountain View four and 4.5
stars, respectively, on its Places to Play list.
In addition to its award-winning courses, the resort offers a golfinstruction facility that is steadily gaining in popularity. Overseen by
Director of Instruction Paul Bucy, a 19-year PGA professional, The

PlayWorthy
Mountain View Hole No. 6
Palm Desert Golf Academy provides a range of lessons and services.
Bucy and his staff presently offer instruction focused on putting,
chipping and swing fundamentals, and during a two-hour-long oncourse lesson, they evaluate every aspect of a golfer’s game.
For students who are interested in assessing their swing, the
academy utilizes the J.C. Video swing-analysis system, which
evaluates ball flight, swing angle and swing speed. Players can also
receive a fitness evaluation that focuses primarily on flexibility,
culminating in a workout program tailored for each golfer’s
specific needs.
Bucy is a certified club fitter for Titleist who uses the Zelocity
Launch Monitor to fit drivers, irons and wedges. Each academy
instructor is certified to fit all major brands and customizes
recommendations to each golfer, helping them perform at their
utmost potential.
“Golf Academy memberships are now being offered,” says
Nation. “All new members, who sign up for 2014 will be entered
into a drawing to receive a new TaylorMade SLDR driver.”
Through membership, golfers enjoy a wide range of benefits,
including four 50-minute individual lessons, discounts on club
fitting and instruction, and member-only clinics.
The resort also offers two notable savings programs: the
Platinum Club Card and the Double Eagle Program. Ranging in
price from $229 for Palm Desert residents to $329 for nonresidents, the Platinum Club Card provides such benefits as
reduced greens fees and a 15-percent discount on golf lessons.
If golfers are visiting the Palm Desert area for only a short period of
time, the Double Eagle promotion is ideal. As long as golfers play two
rounds in 14 days, they are entitled to receive up to 30 percent off their
purchases of each round, an offer valid until September 21, 2014.
Although the resort is primarily known for its acclaimed golf
courses, academy and promotions, it was not designed for golfers

alone. In fact, the 33,000-square-foot clubhouse, renovated in
2011, hosts hundreds of weddings, banquets and business
meetings each year. One social gathering in particular, Music and
Dining Under the Stars, has become increasingly popular in the
Coachella Valley. Guests on these evenings enjoy buffet meals,
entertainment and musical genres from jazz to classic rock.
The clubhouse also provides several dining options. Cook’s
Grill serves breakfast and lunch items; Roadrunner Café offers a
lunch and snack bar; and Lakeview Terrace and Vista Bar are
popular destinations for crab-cake sliders, black cherry martinis
and frozen pineapple margaritas; the terrace overlooks Firecliff’s
ninth and eighteenth holes.

looking for golf instruction, fine dining, entertainment or serene
views of the desert and mountains, they will find it at our resort.”

PlayWorthy
Desert Highlands
H
igh above Scottsdale’s desert floor, one
distinctive characteristic stands out among
the craggy mountains, rugged landscape and
tens of thousands of tile-roofed homes: This
metropolis, experiencing a real-estate revival since the
Great Recession, remains a hotbed for golf.
The most unheralded courses, though, are located
around the rim of the of the famous Valley of the Sun and in
other parts of the state. Hundreds of emerald-green golf
courses dot the terrain, giving the arid landscape a lush if
surreal appeal unlike any other in the United States. And
it's not just a quantity issue; the quality is extraordinary, too.
In the early 1980s, golf really began to heat up in the
Valley of the Sun. Northern Scottsdale's mountainstudded Sonoran Desert—ideally suited for dramatic golf
designs—witnessed a real-estate boom, which gave birth
to some of the country's most dynamic private-golf
communities. Among them: Desert Highlands, Troon
Golf & Country Club and Desert Mountain, with its six
championship courses, all designed by Jack Nicklaus.
A decade earlier, Rio Verde, recently renovated by
Tom Lehman, had become an established 36-hole club
adjacent to the McDowell Mountain Regional Park. And
before the economy nosedived and real estate swooned,
clubs like Pine Canyon helped put mountain golf on the
map in Flagstaff, Ariz. It’s now positioned for a strong
recovery, like many places in Arizona.
33
PlayWorthy
Other quality courses in the area noted
by Huffman as under-publicized include
Raven at Verrado in Buckeye, Quintero
Golf & Country Club in Peoria, northwest
of Phoenix, and even Sedona Golf Resort.
Rea likes Longbow in Mesa, Papago in
Phoenix, Gold Canyon and some of the
better-known Scottsdale courses such as
TPC
Scottsdale,
Talking
Stick,
Camelback and McCormick Ranch. “I
also enjoy Eagle Mountain with its box
canyon,” he says.
Most golfers are generally smitten with
Talking Stick, a 36-hole stunner. Situated
on a flat desert parcel, the North course is a
minimalistic inland links creation with
wickedly effective risk-reward options,
complemented by the South course's lush
parkland routing. Purists favor the North's
distinct heathland flavorings, generous norough fairways, knee-high native grasses,
swept-up finger bunkers and dunesy
hillocks. Raven Golf Club Phoenix, like Talking
Stick, Papago and McCormick Ranch, is
less penal than many of the Valley’s target
courses. These layouts feature smooth
(and grassy) tee-to-green transitions, short
(if any) carries over raw desert and much
larger landing zones in the fairways. Pine Canyon
Pine Canyon has earned its share of
awards, including America’s Best
Residential Golf Course (Golfweek) and
Best Clubhouse of the Year (Golf Inc.).
Now, True Life Companies, its new owner,
is heralding a revival. Real estate and
memberships are on the rise. Golf industry veterans in the Phoenix
area are optimistic as well. Don Rea, owneroperator of Augusta Ranch Golf Course, a
short 18-hole course in Mesa, was recently
named president of the Southwest Section
PGA. After a tough weather season last
year, Rea thinks this season will be the
opposite. “To me, it’s always about having a good
overseed and course conditions,” he says.
“We are known for that. I tell people no
matter what you pay, the courses in
Arizona are going to be in great condition
and the value will be there.” Since 1999, Bill Huffman, Arizona’s
most established and prolific golf writer,
has hosted Backspin the Golf Show, a local
radio program dedicated to the game.
After 31 years in the state, he’s seen it all.
While the Scottsdale area offers terrific golf
courses like Troon North and Grayhawk,
Huffman says golfers willing to drive a little
will save a lot.
34
Gold Canyon
He points to Southern Dunes in
Maricopa, south of Phoenix, and Gold
Canyon in the East Valley, as two hidden
gems of the greater Phoenix area. “Gold
Canyon is the perfect alternative to
Scottsdale,” Huffman says. “It has the views,
plus it’s more reasonably priced. It’s the No.
8 most-underrated golf course in America,
according to golf.com. Southern Dunes is
the best Native American-owned course in
Arizona.”
There is relief for the golfer wary of
three-sleeve-per-round days. The Raven,
known for its pine-tree-lined fairways and
multi-tiered greens, is a Gary Panks and
David Graham-designed course only
minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor
Airport. “Raven Phoenix,” Huffman says,
“is by far the best golf course near the
airport.”
Opened in the late 1990s, Raven
quickly climbed into the upper echelon of

Coore and Crenshaw took their time
on this creation. They walked the land for
two months in an effort to locate the most
desirable green sites before deciding their
routing plan. They ultimately decided
upon the present-day plan because it
afforded them a front-nine loop moving
clockwise and a back nine that played in a
counter-clockwise motion, moving in and
out of the hundreds of large saguaro cacti
that dominate this site.
In Arizona, like many places, the season
determines the price you’ll pay to play.
High season typically runs from
December to April and low season from
June to August. Mid-seasons are the two
stretches in between.

Phoenix’s high-end public offerings. It fell
into disrepair about five years ago, but OB
Sports Management, based in Scottsdale,
has taken over the course and revitalized it. The renovation included new bunkers,
the pruning of dead trees and 750 tons of
cinder spread under trees to give the
course a cleaner look. There's not a saguaro
cactus or cholla bush on the property.
Rather, it’s a gentle parkland course,
straightforward, challenging from the
championship tees and fair. The best hole at Raven Phoenix is one
of the easiest in terms of handicap. No. 5 is a
classic risk-reward par 4. It's only 324 yards,
but it features seven bunkers. Get greedy
and it's just as easy to make a double-bogey
as it is a birdie.
Arizona has hundreds of great holes
like that one.
Forty-five minutes northwest of Raven
Phoenix, We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, another
course on the fringe of the Valley, is filled
with strong and demanding par 4s, short
and incredibly intriguing par 3s, multitiered putting surfaces and elevated teeing
grounds along with split fairways. “We-KoPa,” Rea says, “is great with its open
corridors and no homes.”
The result is wonderful drama within
the natural desert environment. We-KoPa’s Saguaro and Cholla courses were both
included in the Top 100 Resort Courses

ranking by Golfweek for 2013. The Bill
Coore and Ben Crenshaw-designed
Saguaro layout was ranked No. 20, while
the Scott Miller-designed Cholla course
was ranked No. 46.
Saguaro opened in 2005 and featured
design elements not commonly found in
the desert. Built for walking, Saguaro has
more in common with older, more
traditional courses where greens are close
to tees and the course follows the natural
movement of the land. Noteworthy

The latest on golf gear and other products
you simply must have
By Mike Conrad
With the holidays right around the corner, airlines and highways
will be busy. Needless to say, space will be a premium on a
plane or in the car, so we’ve compiled a selection of gadgets
that we hope will make your travel days a little easier.
Denon Exercise Freak
ODOYO Smartphone Cases
There are apps for everything, including those that
turn your smart phone into a personal GPS system
to help keep you on course and driving in the right
direction. The downside? Your phone could be on
and in use for many hours at a time. Not to worry!
ODOYO manufactures smart-phone cases with a
built-in spare lithium polymer battery, which gives
you the power you need throughout the entire
day—no more searching around for a quick
charge. And you have options based on your
usage. For heavy iPhone users, there’s the
Power+Shell EX, which features a built-in 2200mAh
high-capacity rechargeable battery. That is far
more powerful than the standard 1440mAh battery
in the iPhone 5. In addition to the extended battery
life, the Power+Shell EX also protects your iPhone. A
cool little feature is its “kickstand” that allows you to
watch videos or movies hands-free. Each unit has
a micro-USB charger that charges both the case
and phone at the same time. In addition to iPhone
cases, ODOYO offers a variety of cases for devices
by other manufacturers. ODOYOusa.com
36
I was very excited to find a wireless
Bluetooth headset that sounds great and
allows me to “cut the cord,” especially
handy when working out to mitigate all
those holiday calories. I can now walk
freely and not have to worry about how I
carry my iPod /iPhone, MP3 player or other
Bluetooth device. The Denon Exercise
Freak is not just for exercise; it’s perfect for
that flight or long drive in the back seat.
One of its best features is that you can
control the volume or even take a phone
call while wearing the headset. It’s
extremely comfortable and designed to
resist sweat, and the behind-the-ear design
keeps the earpiece in place even through
the most intense workout. As of this writing,
Denon is offering a rebate toward
purchase of the Exercise Freak. Check it
out at http://usa.denon.com
HotGear
iprop
Another cool little gadget is the iprop, a universal tablet stand. Soft and infinitely adjustable, it reminds
me of a small beanbag chair for my iPad. Its flexible design means it can be used on flat or uneven
surfaces, and it works with Motorola, Sharp, BlackBerry and Apple devices, whether tablets or phones.
It’s ideal for use on airplane trays or to keep your device steady while you’re riding—not driving—in
the car. The design is simple but effective; it even held my iPad without me having to remove the hardshell case. dockem.com
UrgentRx
When my family travels, we often end up packing a medical case that would put many doctors to
shame. Finally, there’s a product that has everything you’re likely to need but doesn’t take up a lot
of space in luggage, and it conveniently fits in the glove box or your golf bag. UrgentRx offers power
packs of many over-the-counter medications. Whether you or your travel companions are prone to
upset stomach, aches and pains, allergies, heartburn or headache, there’s a remedy for you. As soon
as you have any of the above symptoms, just rip open the pack and pour the fast-dissolving powder
pack into your mouth. Raspberry, cherry and lemon-lime are just a few of the flavors available. Keep
a few packs with you where ever you go. urgentrx.com
Spare One
Travel is one of those times when parents are hyper aware of safety—
theirs and their children’s. Spare One offers an emergency cell phone
that operates on a single AA battery. This phone is perfect to put in your
child’s backpack or your car for an emergency situation. You can use it
as a standard pre-paid phone; however the best feature may be that
you do not even need a SIM card to use the emergency call button. The
latest version, called the Spare One Plus, now has an available location
and alert service. It comes in a waterproof bag that floats. Of course, the
reality is that you hope neither you nor your child ever have to use this
phone, but if there is an emergency, it provides a lot of peace of mind
knowing it’s “in the bag.” Check it out at spareone.com
Here’s hoping everyone has safe holiday travels and gets to enjoy time with family. And if you are traveling
and have an extra long flight or drive, go ahead and catch up on my blog at gottahavegadget.com

The latest in real estate development across California, Arizona and Nevada
Realty
By Jenell Fontes
Rancho La Quinta Country Club
TheGoodLife
I
f you’re thinking of buying a second home, have you
thought about it as an income producing property?
There are many advantages to positioning your second
home as a seasonal rental, and you can create a rental
strategy that works for you and your needs. For example, you
can choose when to rent the home, to whom you want to
rent it and for how much. The right rental strategy could fully
cover your house payment or cover enough that a second
home once thought to be out of reach is now an affordable
reality.
Before buying, check the local city and county ordinances
regarding rentals in the area where you want to buy. Many
cities charge a variety of taxes, including a bed tax just like the
local hotels are charged. If the home is located in a
community, you should also check the HOA rules and CCRs
for any rental restrictions. Many clubs have a one-monthminimum rental policy in order to avoid a new rowdy bunch
of tourists visiting their community pool every weekend.
The first step in positioning your home as a rental
property is to make a list of all the things that you love about
it and the surrounding area. Why would someone want to
vacation in your town, and what makes your home special
compared to all the other homes out there? You should also
research how much you can charge for your home as
compared to other rental homes on the market.
Next, choose a rental management strategy. One option is
what I call the “Friends and Family” rental strategy. This is as
simple as posting pictures of your property on your
Facebook page and creating an email that goes out only to
immediate friends and family. The pros of this strategy are
that you are renting to people you know and who are likely to
take good care of your property. The cons are that you will
get requests for free rentals, and if there are damages you
might have a very awkward time collecting.
Another option is the “Do It Yourself” strategy. In this
scenario, owners manage their own property, using websites
such as VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owner), HomeAway,
CyberRental or FlipKey to advertise it. The owner must
answer phone calls and email inquiries and deal directly with
renters. If you choose this route, the best advice is to get the
renter on the phone and have a chat. You can handle many
rental details by email; however, there is nothing like talking
on the phone to get a sense of someone. If you are not
comfortable, do not rent to them—you can say no for any
reason.
A third strategy is to use a professional realtor or rental
company. The con is that you lose some of your profit. The
pro, however, is that this strategy gives you some distance
from the renters—and potential hassles. The fact is that it is a
lot more work than many people realize to advertise and
screen potential renters, draw up contracts, collect money,
check renters in and out and so on.
It’s also important to note that you can choose any
combinations of these strategies. You could, for example, have
a non-exclusive with an agent or management company and
also book your own listings.
Regardless of the strategy, you have to prepare your home
to be rented. It is important to take high quality, preferably
professional, pictures. The decision to book is usually made
entirely online and based on the photos. You also have to
make sure that the property is up-to-date and has the
41
TheGoodLife
amenities today’s travelers expect, such as
high-speed Internet. You should make sure
that everything works, nothing is broken
and that the property in its entirety is very
presentable. You will also want to provide
instructions for your renters. There are
certain things that you will want your
guests to know about upon entering, such
as how to use certain electronic
components, where to place trash,
whether or not to recycle, where extra
linens and towels are located and what the
rules of the neighborhood are.
Of course, before you decide on buying
a property that will be used as a seasonal
rental, you have to run the numbers to
make sure that renting makes sense in your
financial plan. What, for example, are the
tax consequences? You should talk with
your accountant before investing in a
second home or incurring any rental
income, as you will need to understand the
tax consequences and how to plan for
them. Some of what you learn may surprise
you.
Adam Ochoa, a CPA from The Practice,
says, “If you plan on making some extra
cash by renting your vacation home, you’ll
need to familiarize yourself with a few tax
rules. One is that not all vacation rental
income must be reported. Generally,
income received from the rental of your
vacation home must be reported on your
federal income tax return; however, there’s
one provision that is not complicated:
42
Homeowners who rent out their property
for 14 or fewer days a year can pocket the
rental income tax-free. This is known as the
‘Master's exemption’ because it is used by
homeowners near Augusta National Golf
Club in Georgia who rent out their homes
during the Master's Tournament (for as
much as $20,000!). It is also used by
homeowners who rent out their homes for
movie productions, or those whose
residences are located near Super Bowl
sites or national political conventions.”
What kinds of communities work well
for seasonal rentals? Rancho La Quinta
Country Club is one example. A property
recently for sale there shows what a
successful seasonal rental can be. This
home offers superb location with
southwest mountain views. A gated
courtyard flows to a dramatic rotunda
entry with a stunning chandelier and
soaring 14-foot ceilings. Features include
Travertine flooring, upgraded window
treatments, plantation shutters and a
surround-sound system with seven plasma
TV's! In addition to the three bedrooms
and 3.5 baths in the main house, there is
also a two-room casita that can be used as a
TheGoodLife
Positioning your home as a seasonal
rental could give you the extra income you
need to make that second-home purchase
a reality. Another bonus: Getting your
home ready for a seasonal rental could be
the motivation you need to spruce it up,
update it and turn it into a show place. In
fact, you might do such a good job that you
fourth bedroom. The home’s gourmet
kitchen and expansive Great Room offer
everything necessary for spectacular
entertaining, and among the highlights of
the sumptuous master suite are French
doors opening onto the resort-style yard
with covered patio, built in barbecue,
sparkling saline pool and a raised spa with
boulders and lush foliage.
The community itself is another asset.
Rancho La Quinta is just minutes away from
the site of the famous Humana Challenge
and that of the Coachella and Stage Coach
Concert Series. It’s also minutes from the
polo fields and the venue of the HITTS
horse show. Rancho La Quinta Country
Club, to which about half of the
homeowners belong, features 36 holes of
golf on two private courses: A Robert Trent
Jones traditional course and the more
modern Jerry Pate layout. In addition, there
are community pools and spas throughout,
a well-equipped fitness center, tennis
facilities, locker rooms and dining. The
home’s proximity to all of this means that it
draws top dollar for seasonal renters.
Vacation rental specialists Chris and
Shari Hubbard with Windermere Real
Estate provide some numbers. “This home
was purchased for $1,250,000 and rents
out for approximately $10,000 per month,
generating about $50,000 per year income
for the owners. [Almost anyone] in the
desert who owns a second home could be
making money on their home when they
44
are not using it.” The Hubbards point out
that rentals range from condos to single
family homes, and that rental prices range
from $200-$2,000 per night and $2,000$15,000 per month. They advise owners
to work with a professional at least for the
first year of rental, “as one mistake could
end up costing you money.”

Eureka!
FineDining
A
utumn brings with it many
weeks of idyllic conditions as
well as the return of old friends
and the arrival of new faces. It
also brings healthy appetites ready to be
delighted and sated at the array of
restaurants that make up the Coachella
Valley’s burgeoning dining scene. There
are many enticing establishments to
choose from, from old favorites to a few
new eateries on the block. To help you
decide where to dine next, we’ve compiled
a list of our favorites (and yes, you'll note a
decidedly Euro flavor). Bon appetit!
Start your culinary tour in Palm Desert,
where brothers Eddie and Antoine Babai
welcome you to the intimate environs of
Le Paon Restaurant (73-399 El Paseo)
where contemporary French cuisine is
front and center. “It's comfortable and
elegant and from our second floor the view
is magnificent,” says Antoine, Le Paon's
general manager and maître d'.
Le Paon is the perfect choice for a
romantic or special-occasion dinner, and
Eddie, a classically trained chef, presents
one of the most time-tested and authentic
French menus in the desert. “We have
clients who have been with us for 30 years,”
he says. “The clients we had on Highway 74
all came back when we opened on El Paseo
three years ago. It doesn't matter old or
young, rich or poor; everybody supported
us and came back. We have customers who
were kids with their parents when they
started dining with us and now they're
adults and still coming.”
In terms of awesome value, don’t miss
the “Happy Night” bar menu, or go for a
table in the dining room beneath the
glimmer of the chandelier for a full-on
experience. You might start with the
Champignons farcies au crabe (crab stuffed
mushrooms), the aptly lauded housemade Pâté Maison or the Escargots de
Bourgogne. As for entrees, the Grenouilles
à la Provençale (frog legs); Filet de
Chevreuil, Sauce Poivrade á la Framboise
(venison tenderloin); and daily fish specials
count among customer favorites.
“One of our best-selling items is the
Dover Sole,” Eddie notes. “The price is
right and the presentation is right; it’s
cooked by the order and deboned at the
table. And the steak we serve here, you
won’t find it at other steakhouses. The
Tournedos Neptune is our medallion of
beef covered in Alaskan king crabmeat and
bearnaise sauce.”
The chef proudly points out that the
restaurant’s famous soufflé, which
Le Paon Restaurant

Mister Parker’s
accounts for 90 percent of the desserts
sold, is his own recipe. He also makes all of
the fresh pastries, and even the ice cream is
48
made in-house, all of which means saving
room for dessert is de rigueur! Of course,
any dish you choose is all the better when
accompanied by the nightly piano music
and a wine from La Paon’s list of more than
200 French and select California varietals.
When In Palm Springs, opt for a fresh
experience at the always interesting Mister
Parker's at the Parker Palm Springs (4200
E. Palm Canyon Drive), where new kitchen
talent is updating the California-French
bistro-style menu. “We have a new
executive chef in Herve Glin and a new
executive sous chef in Sang Lee, and they
are presenting a new fall menu,” says
Forrest Williams, the restaurant’s manager.
“Simple lines are what they're going for,
with a great product. Basically, the dishes
won’t be smothered in sauces.” Instead,
Forrest says, the new menu will feature raw,
fresh ingredients and wonderfully ‘clean’
flavors. There will also be a fresh cocktail
list and an enlivened wine selection to pair
nicely with the reimagined menu.
What won’t change is that the venue
itself remains one of the Valley’s most
alluring. “It's a very unique space with a
sexy vibe,” Williams says. “It's a place where
couples will start mingling with other
couples, sitting side-by-side. It's just a real
comfortable environment with low
lighting, candlelit tables and a lot of great
music from the '70s.”
FineDining
Le Vallauris
The west end of the Valley is dotted with
choice options. Le Vallauris (385 W.
Tahquitz Canyon Way) is a Palm Springs'
classic, consistently presenting one of the
desert's most handsome dining spaces along
with French Mediterranean flavors that are
decidedly memorable. Peruse the large
board brought to your table for daily
selections and allow the learned staff to assist
in guiding your evening's platings and wine.
Stay in Palm Springs for a meal with the
famous Melvyn's Restaurant (200 W.
49
FineDining
Melvyn’s Restaurant
Ramon Road) at the historic Ingleside Inn,
where the celeb sightings continue to turn
heads. To earn your own star, enlighten the
desert weekend with the excellent
Champagne Brunch (Saturdays and
Sundays from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.). For
the evening crowd, start the night with the
Maryland Crabcakes or Oysters on the
Lord Flether’s Restaurant
Half Shell before enjoying the Grilled
Lambchops or Signature Veal Ingleside.
In Rancho Mirage, meet your blokes at
Lord Fletcher's Restaurant (70-385
Highway 111). Old school, English décor
matches with a perfect Prime Rib and one
of the area's most welcoming and engaging
bar staffs. Happy Hours are bloody good
The Grill on Main
and nightly specials are well-worthy of

T
he Jamaica Invitational Pro-Am,
aka Annie’s Revenge, has a new
presenting sponsor this year:
Appleton Estate Jamaica
Rum. The tournament, now in its 8th year,
will be played Nov. 20–24 on two of
Jamaica’s best championship golf courses,
Cinnamon Hill and White Witch. Along
with the new sponsor, there are also some
new features that will make the event even
more exciting.
Estate Jamaica Rum. “The heritage, flavor
and soul of our Appleton Estate Rum is
synonymous with Jamaica, and the event's
mission to expand awareness for golf and
tourism parallels Appleton's desire to
expose more high-end North American
consumers to its brand.”
With the sponsorship support of
Appleton, an exciting feature has been
added this year: the Appleton Estate
Jamaica Rum Shootout, a new “day after”
IBEROSTAR Hotel pool
Both tournament courses are
considered among the finest in the
Caribbean. White Witch, located on a
600-acre plantation, is a 6,859-yard layout
across mountainous terrain and offering
spectacular ocean views. Cinnamon Hill
rolls across 400 acres of dense, tropical
foliage, running 6,637 yards. The purse for
the pros is $30,000, while amateurs
compete for more than $10,000 in prizes.
As the tournament's presenting
sponsor, Appleton will integrate its brand
message into all marketing and promotion
for the event, which draws participation
from golf clubs and avid golfers across the
United States and Canada.
“The Jamaica Pro-Am is the finest
tournament in the Caribbean and a
fantastic event for showcasing the beauty,
spirit and taste of Jamaica to avid, upscale
golfers from across North America who
participate in the event,” says Tanisa
Samuel, brand manager for Appleton
other pro-am teams electing to extend
their stay in Jamaica. The Jamaica Tourist Board is pleased to
welcome the partnership support of
Appleton. “Appleton's commitment to
Annie's Revenge will surely reinforce and
extend the power of the Jamaica brand
well beyond our shores,” says Donnie
Dawson, deputy executive director of
tourism for the Jamaica Tourist Board.
“North America is key, in particular the
United States, our primary source market
for tourism, so the opportunity to partner
with Appleton and showcase the
spectacular golf experience that Jamaica
has to offer is a perfect fit.”
Appleton joins Iberostar Hotels &
Resorts, Jamaica Tours Limited and
Chukka Caribbean Adventures as
Jamaican hospitality brands that are official
sponsors of the eight-year old tournament.
Hotel packages are available at Iberostar
Grand Hotel Rose Hall in Montego Bay, a
AAA Four Diamond adults-only resort.
Golf clubs, individual players and
companies interested in participating can
learn more about the event by visiting the
tournament website, jamaicaproam.com,
or by contacting The Golf Connection
LLC at 484.762.1185. Clubs interested in
competing are encouraged to have their
host professional enter online as soon as
possible to reserve a spot in the field and
start the entry process. Individuals who are
not a member of a club or part of a team are
also welcome to enter online and will be
paired with a host professional by the
Cinnamon Hill
event. This one-day NET Stableford
tournament will provide Appleton the
opportunity to entertain VIP customers in
a unique and exciting way. Appleton's VIP
guests will be paired with a PGA club
professional and will compete against
tournament office. Teams consist of three
amateurs and a host golf professional. All
amateur players are required to have a
verifiable handicap. To learn more about Jamaica, go

evealed as a concept car at the Frankfurt Auto Show
in September, the S-Class Coupe was met with rave
reviews. “The new S-Class Saloon was received
enthusiastically in the market and perfectly lives up
to its role as a representative of the power of innovation of
Mercedes-Benz,” says Dr. Joachim Schmidt, member of the
management board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales & Marketing.
The concept coupe is powered by a twin-turbo V-8.
Pumping out 449 horsepower and 516 pounds-feet of torque, it
tops its base model C-Class predecessor handily. With a power
plant like this, numbers on the track will easily be in the low 4
seconds in the 0-60 category.
Gorden Wagener, vice president design at Daimler AG,
adds: “The Concept S Class Coupe combines tradition and
emotion, and it is a symbol for the embodiment of our design
style of sensual clarity.. The perfected design with self-assured
style and the highly exclusive appointments makes the coupe a
true design icon and an expression of modern luxury.”
Look at the lines of the S-Class Coupe and you’ll see distinct
nods to the former C-Class series; however, there’s a decided
aggressiveness that can’t be overlooked. The headlamps squint
with a certain fierceness. The LED lamps create an “eyebrow”
over the main bulb. It’s a dynamic look that says, “Take the
wheel and control this beast.”
The bodylines create the effect of sharpening the already
piercing persona, and it’s the long, arching line that runs
horizontally from the front fender to behind the door that is the
centerpiece. It’s the awe effect, the showstopper. Uniquely
Mercedes, the S-Class Coupe will undoubtedly compete as the
flagship vehicle in the stable of luxury models.
The lack of B pillars, the typical frame that outlines the doors
of most cars, is also quintessential Mercedes coupe. Designers
brought out the best of tradition as they crafted for a new era.
For example, chrome wraps the window areas, giving another

dimension to a component that does not
often receive much thought.
And if the CL of 2013 is any indicator,
the large hood is not just for show. A 12cylinder model won’t be far behind. The
AMG 6.0L bi-turbo V-12 is a 621horsepower super car—anything less for
the S-Class would be a total failure in
rollout for the brand. That said, expect to
pay dearly for the extra torque as anything
AMG is going to start in the low $200s and
go up from there.
When you drive one of these beauties
home, however, you’ll practically be able to
drive it with your eyes closed. The coupe is
equipped with Intelligent Drive
technology. Two “camera eyes” create a
dual view of the road surface up to about
150 feet in front of the vehicle. These
cameras detect the position and
movement of objects with what Mercedes
56
calls “6D Vision.” Then things get very
high-tech: Data from an onboard radar and
the cameras account for traffic, pedestrians,
animals and meteors from outer space that
may jump in the road in front of you.
The suspension makes use of the
cameras as well, detecting surface
undulations in advance. If the scan detects a
pothole, a feature called Magic Body
Control adjusts the suspension in advance

to make your ride just the way you want
it—smooth.
Also in the high-tech realm is the
vehicle’s MoodGrid software from
Gracenote. As a driver of the S-Class
Coupe, you can listen to nearly any song
you want. From Beethoven to the Bee
Gees, you’ll find it on Gracenote because
more than 18 million tracks are at your
fingertips. The entire system is
programmable, and it’s intelligent enough
to know that you like the Moody Blues on
Monday and it should stay out of your way.
The interior is nothing if not space age.
The dash slopes and swooshes; the chairs
arch as if you are as likely to land on the
moon as you are to end up at work. The
headliner is hand woven from silk while
the control center has a layer of precious
metal baked into it that creates a highly
scratch-resistant, luminous surface.
No feature was overlooked in the SClass Coupe. This will be the most
exclusive Mercedes on the market in 2014,
and discerning buyers will want to contact
their dealers now to get on the list for a test
drive.

t’s a fact that history dictates fashion. Designers scour the styles
of old in order to create today’s trendsetting clothing,
including women’s golf apparel. For ladies in the 1800s, the
game of golf was all about fashion and finding a potential suitor
at an elite country club. With golf itself secondary to suitors, female
golfers wore long-sleeved, tightly fitted blouses paired with long
skirts that reached just inches about the ground. Unfortunately for
designers, women discovered that they actually enjoyed the game,
making this fashion trend undesirable.
Early designers faced a challenge: How could they create
clothing that was comfortable for play and yet fashionable
according to the dictates of the time? There was a long string of hits
and misses as they wrestled with that very question.
navy, this dress screams sports. It’s priced from $195. Wingate’s
second design is double-breasted with custom buttons. Available in
black or white, it perfectly melds comfort and styling for a classic
look that works as well for dinner or cruising as for a round of golf.
$260. catherinewingate-apparel.com
The Lizzie Driver Santorini dress has a light and airy look that’s
perfect for spring and summer. This striped, sleeveless piece has a
breezy, collared, two-button V-neck with a pale aqua contrast
collar and contrast lime drawstring waist. The fabric is 92 percent
Rayon and 8 percent Spandex; under shorts are not included.
Priced from $200. lizziedriver.com
What woman’s closet is complete without the little black dress?
GolfHER has its own version of the LBD, one that’s functional on
and off the golf course. Boasting pops of color in the collar, sleeves
and trim, this little black number comes with a detached under
“skort” and a practical pocket for storing golf or tennis essentials. It’s
90 percent nylon and 10 percent spandex and is priced at about
$95. golfhergirl.com
While many of the styles this year have a sporty look enhanced
by hidden panels that provide comfort and stretch, Roaming
Dhabi Designs had a different idea. Its slim, fitted dress strays from
the traditional sporty design in favor of Mandarin-inspired styling
that includes the simple elegance of a banded collar. Offered in
sleeveless and long-sleeved versions, this lovely dress provides
The Lizzie Driver Santorini dress
But in the mid 1920s, women’s golf fashion had a hole-in-one
with the “Shirtmaker,” a one-piece dress that was perfect for golf
and other active sports. New York City’s Best & Co. sold this
functional frock for about $2.55. The Shirtmaker was so popular
that it was widely copied, easily becoming the leading golf-dress
style for the next 30 years.
Fast forward to the 2013 PGA Golf Expo in Las Vegas, Nev. In
addition to gorgeous new colors and prints on display, the golf dress
was once again front and center—with decidedly contemporary
appeal. Today’s version is the ultimate active wear, allowing busy
women to transition easily between the many activities that fill
their lives. Some designs are so versatile that all it takes is a change of
shoes and a quick touch of lipstick to make a night out on the town
in that flirty little golf dress completely doable.
At Expo, designers came up with a wide variety of dresses to
show. Some, for example, had attached shorts. while others were
shown with complementing tights. Whatever your particular
style, you’ll likely be able to find the dress that best meets your
needs and fashion sense. And though some of these new designs
will not hit stores until December or January, you don’t have to wait
to shop.
Designer Catherine Wingate currently offers two different
dress styles. First, there’s her zip-front version with built-in shorts
and two pockets. Made with moisture-wicking fabric in white or
Roaming Dhabi Designs
seamless transition from the golf course to a fun evening out. Two
welted back pockets are ideal for tees, golf balls or small personal
items, and any woman can find her perfect look among the five
available colors: royal lilac, daffodil, emerald green, raspberry rose
and black. Once again, tights or shorts are optional. Priced from
$98. roamingdhabidesigns.com
Toda’s female golfers have an unparalleled array of fabrics, styles
and colors to choose from. But if you want to play golf, embrace
your womanhood and be utterly fashionable all at the same time,
wear a dress!

B
efore we know it, the red-carpet galas, awards ceremonies
and country club extravaganzas will be upon us—and we
will be ready. The jewelry experts and designers at El
Paseo Jewelers and the Roberto Coin Boutique on El
Paseo in Palm Desert, Calif., are in the throes of creating new
collections, displays and excitement for the upcoming season. Stay
tuned for more on that in an upcoming issue.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for something both fun and
functional, we have a suggestion. One of the busiest booths at this
year’s PGA Expo in Las Vegas was that of Navika USA, a company
that’s all about sparkling, wearable and functional accoutrements
on and off the golf course.
Family owned and operated, Navika was established in 1984 by
Nita Mehta, who serves as CEO. She is helped by her husband and
company president Vinnie Mehta, and today they continue to
grow the business without deviating from their original mission of
providing quality products at reasonable prices combined with
outstanding customer service.
That is not just a family commitment to excellence; it’s also a
solid business strategy that has proved remarkably successful.
Navika is sold in many of the finest resorts, country clubs, hotels
and gift shops in the world, and it is a licensed manufacturer for the
LPGA, PGA of America, PGA Jr. Ryder Cup, USGA and
LoudMouth Golf International.
So what does Navika have that adds style to any look? Just
peruse the collection. Take the Chameleon Ball Marker Necklace,
for example. Featuring micro pave crystals or Swarovski crystals,
the distinctive ball marker rests in a David Yurman-style stainless
steel pendant encircled with Swarovski crystals. Priced from
$44.95, it offers a seamless, beautiful look at an excellent price
point.
If wearing a necklace on the golf course isn’t your thing, there’s
the Leather Ball Marker Bracelet, perfect for active golfers yet
stylish enough to wear out on the town. The bracelet features the
same distinctive ball marker as the necklace, set in a gold- or silverplated holder on either a fashionable red or white genuine leather
strap. The crystals will dance with every swing. Priced from
$48.95.
Who said stroke-counters are passé? Navika has managed to
make a simple stroke-counter look like a Fashion Week accessory
via the use of brilliant crystal beads. The gold- or silver-plated beads
glide easily on a leather felt strap that can be clipped to your golf
bag or belt loop or worn as a bracelet. Strap colors include gold,
pink, green and purple. This is a stylishly fun way too make light of
forgetting the number of strokes per hole that we truly do want to
forget about! Priced from $19.95.
Kicks Candy—even the name sounds fun. Here Navika has
made it a breeze to locate your ball marker while you’re bending
over to pick up or mark your ball. A simple clip attaches to your
lace-up golf shoes and holds a dazzling ball marker that’s always
easy to see and find. Priced from $12.95.
Clearly Navika is fashion forward and geared for stylish fun. Its
designers have found multiple ways to make functional ball
markers an accessory must-have, incorporating them into
necklaces, bracelets, shoe ornaments, hat clips, tac pins and
earrings. These pieces are the perfect gift for your sweetie or a
collectable to be swapped among girlfriends. Thanks, Navika, for
keeping golf gear whimsical, fashionable and oh-so dazzling.
