In the desert, it’s a time of change. Easter, big hats, golf
shorts and tennis skirts in pastels in early spring, and a mass
exodus of the dominant snowbird population to cooler
climes in late spring. And although some places in our area
close or switch to a limited schedule of operation come
summer time, Desert Golf & Tennis continues to cover all
that our dynamic region has to offer.
On the cover of this issue we’re proud to feature Amy
Alcott and Gil Hanse, the duo team selected to design the
new golf course for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. Brazil will be the host site where golf will be
included among Olympic sports for the first time since 1904.
LPGA superstar Alcott is a longtime desert resident, a threetime Kraft Nabisco champion and she collaborated with
Hanse on this amazing course in Brazil. It’s a fascinating story
you can learn more about starting on pg. 12.
Also in this issue we feature former Chicago Bears
quarterback Jim McMahon. McMahon, a two-time Super
Bowl champion, has been a fixture on the celebrity golf
circuit since his retirement from football. He can be found
on the course—not wearing any shoes—helping to raise
money for many charities year round. Read our feature
starting on pg. 36.
For more than 10 years we have featured a dining guide in
Desert Golf & Tennis, and I hope you’ll take a look at this
issue’s excellent guide, starting on pg. 54. Like many desert
residents, I eat out frequently, often at the restaurants we
highlight in in our magazine. In this issue, I thought it would
be fun to provide an addendum to our dining guide, my
personal suggestions for some of the best dishes served up in
the Palm Desert and La Quinta areas—dishes I order
frequently and recommend highly.
First, there’s the “Brick Chicken” at Piero’s PizzaVino.
This amazing dish is a delectable half chicken roasted in herbs
and cooked in Piero’s pizza oven. For an excellent tableside
Caesar salad, it’s hard to beat LG’s Prime Steakhouse in La
Quinta. Of course, LG’s steaks are amazing, but what’s better
with a great steak than a well-made Caesar salad? We actually
have an embarrassment of riches in the Coachella Valley. The
Steakhouse at Agua Caliente Casino Resort, Mastro’s
Steakhouse and Morton’s The Steakhouse offer some of my
favorite steak selections. Vicky’s of Santa Fe also has a stellar
New York strip and what is arguably the best rack of lamb in
the valley, with my favorite chipotle corn. Yum!
Mitch’s on El Paseo Prime Seafood serves up my favorite
Hamachi sushi with jalapeno, and the jalapeno poppers are
almost as incredible as the sea-bass entrée. Over at Pacifica
Seafood Restaurant, I love the half-price bottle night on
Tuesdays, to say nothing of the sugar-spiced salmon, which is
also a must-have at Pacifica’s sister restaurant, La Quinta
Cliffhouse Grill & Bar. For what may be the best happy hour
in the valley, I recommend Ristorante Mamma Gina, which
offers all-night happy hour in the Enoteca Wine Bar area,
complete with excellent fare for incredibly low prices. For
happy hour with a fine-dining experience, I recommend Le
Paon. It is one of the top French restaurants in the area and
also serves a delicious Dover sole in an elegant atmosphere.
New Manhattan in the Desert has a fantastic menu
offering classic New York-style deli items along with my
favorite Bloody Mary and English-muffin breakfast. Also for
breakfast, Backstreet Bistro is a hidden gem; if you don’t want
to get up early enough for breakfast, it also offers lunch and
dinner with afternoon live jazz on weekends. My favorite
Mexican restaurants are Fresh Agave Mexican Bar & Grill, for
its superb fajitas and poblano soup, and El Rodeo Cafe, which
serves the best green chile and chicken chilaquiles in the
valley. The newly located Thai Smile Rancho Mirage on El
Paseo offers a great selection of Thai dishes, and Blue Orchid
Thai Bistro on Highway 74 is another must-try for lovers of
Thai cuisine. And lastly, many of the locals visit The Nest for
the deserts best nightlife establishment, however, many are
not aware that the food is simply as amazing as the talented
musicians that entertain each night! While Tim and Kevin
delight the masses with their musical talents, the food too is
fabulous! With homemade cabbage rolls as one of my
favorites, Dodi Henry runs a tight ship in both the bar and the
restaurant. Great food as well as great fun!
These are just a few of my personal favorites in the Palm
Desert and La Quinta areas. Now, I’d love to hear from you.
What are your favorite restaurants and dishes in the
Coachella Valley? Email me at pade@dgnt.com with your

A
fter all the weirdness, delays
and political and legal
maneuvering, Gil Hanse and
Amy Alcott can finally say, yes,
the golf course for the 2016 summer
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro is completed.
And when the players tee off on it, it will be
the first time since 1904 that golf is played
as part of the Summer Olympics.
But another result of constructing this
course is that Hanse and Alcott may have
helped promote a trend for the future of
golf course design.
Hanse, founder and president of Hanse
Golf Course Design, together with
consultation from Alcott, brought the
Olympic golf course to life after three years
of building, maneuvering, hurdle jumping
and standing on the sidelines for extended
periods. The Grateful Dead’s trip may have
been longer and stranger, but Hanse could
hardly imagine the Brazilian experience
being any more interesting.
“It was the most interesting job we’ve
ever been involved with. Not because of
the stakes and what was riding on it, which
we freely accepted. We were quite happy
to take on that task,” Hanse says of the
project in the Reserva de Marapendi, in
Rio’s Barra da Tijuca zone. “But the reality
did not match the process that was
described in the interview. So we had to
make up a lot of stuff on the fly and adjust
to a lot of things that we did not expect to
happen.”
As he and his team were going through
the bidding process, Hanse knew they
would have to bring a very special
presentation to the Olympic Committee.
He knew they were probably the least well
known among the bidders, and he had
gotten wind of architectural partnerships
being formed by Jack Nicklaus and Annika
Sorenstam as well as Greg Norman and
Lorena Ochoa. He thought it made sense
for his bid to include strong input from a
female professional, too.
Hanse had already struck up a
friendship with Alcott during his time at
Los Angeles Country Club when Alcott
lived nearby, and he thought of her as
someone “great, very cool, very easy to get
along with.”
He called Amy and asked her if she
would be interested. Hanse Golf Design

would be the lead on the project and
Alcott would work as a consultant whose
focus was to help the team create a golf
course on which women would compete
at the highest level. “Amy is so sweet and
really doesn’t have a huge ego,” Hanse says.
“And she said, ‘Yeah, that’s great, that’s fine.
I don’t need equal billing on the design, I
just want to be part of the process.’”
Alcott’s value to the team became
apparent at the presentation.
“We gave a great presentation. We felt
like we hit it on all cylinders,” Alcott says.
“They told us they were going to come up
with a decision in February and we didn’t
hear anything until March. [Gil] called me
14
up from Doral 10 minutes before he was
going into the press conference and he was
screaming, ‘Amy can you believe it? We
won it. We won the whole thing!’ And I
was just ecstatic.”
Hanse says Alcott was equally helpful
in the interview phase. “She came down to
Rio as part of our team. And she’s just so
folksy and approachable, and she told these
wonderful stories about how she learned
to play as a child hitting into soup cans, and
just genuinely how this golf course and the
academy could be part of growing the
legacy of the sport in Brazil.”
In terms of the construction of the
course, Hanse says Alcott’s input included
general ideas about raising up the bunkers
and putting them in small clusters, an idea
ultimately executed in different areas on
the course. Hanse notes that their biggest
innovation, tweak or design gamble came
in their placement of landing areas.
“One of the critical things that’s going to
be interesting, to see if we got this right, is
putting the men and women on the same
golf course back-to-back. You want them to
have similar shot patterns,” Hanse says. “So
when a man hits driver-7-iron, he’s going to
be in a certain area. When the women hit
driver-7-iron, their landing area is probably
going to have to be 20-25 yards farther
forward. Well, how do you bunker that
landing area?”
What they came up with was a shorter
set of hazards that would challenge most of
the men and the women who hit shorter,
and then a longer set of hazards to
challenge the longer ladies and the Bubba
Watsons of the world, the bigger-hitting
men.
“I think it’s an interesting concept that
we’ve stretched the landing area and
stretched the strategy so that it works for
both, and Amy was really helpful with that
whole process,” Hanse says.
With designers such as Hanse soliciting
female professional input, and the game of
golf attempting to reach out to all
underexposed demographics, is the malefemale design team a trend for the future?
Hanse says he has certainly seen its
value. “I think there are obviously different
onCover
perspectives on the game that men and
women bring to it, and having a woman’s
perspective was very helpful.”
Alcott hopes it is because she’s ready to
design more. The design bug bit her hard
when she assisted Casey O’Callaghan with
the redesign of Indian Canyons Golf Resort
in Palm Springs, California, and she also
consulted with Hanse on the renovation of
Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus,
New Jersey. Alcott says she still gets letters
from players who appreciate Indian
Canyon’s playability for the female player.
And she believes if the girls are having a
good time and a good play, it’s likely the
men are, too.
“I want to do more, more remodeling
and more new courses, because I feel like I
have a good eye for what makes a great golf
course and what makes a playable golf
course,” Alcott says. “People don’t want to
be beat up when they go play. I think
there’s been a part of the game that’s just
been ‘Tigerized.’ So many courses are just
too long and they’ve taken a lot of wedges
out of the game.”
Alcott is excited to see how the Rio
course plays out in Olympic competition.
She’s particularly fond of the finishing
holes, starting with No. 16, a short par 4
with personality traits of Riviera’s No. 10,
with out-of-bounds dropping off to the left.
That’s followed by a relatively short par 3,
and then No. 18, a medium-length par 4.
They create the opportunity for birdies
and the promise of high-intensity action
coming down the stretch.
And when the competition is over and
the smoke clears, what does Alcott hope
players will say about the course?
“I would hope it tested every shot in
their bag,” she says. “That it was tough, that
the course was a difficult one but fair. And
that they enjoyed the walk.”

F
or over 40 years, Alice Cooper’s classic hit songs have
resonated with millions of fans around the world.
Renowned as the “godfather of shock rock,” he has enjoyed
a career that most musicians only dream of—Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame membership, top-ten singles such as “School’s
Out” and more than 50 million records sold.
However, since 1995, Cooper has used his talents, financial
resources and networking capabilities in an entirely different
fashion: by establishing Solid Rock, an organization dedicated to
ensuring that teenagers discover and nurture their artistic gifts, all
while living healthy lives free of drugs, violence and gang
membership.
“Each year, the Classic has three main purposes: to create
fellowship, have fun and ensure that Solid Rock has a fruitful
future,” says Jeff Moore, executive director of Solid Rock. “We want
to continue to provide teens a safe place to express themselves
through music, dance and self-expression.”
Roughly 150 golfers will be participating in this year’s Classic,
including some 30 celebrities such as NFL wide receiver Larry
Fitzgerald and former Family Feud host John O’Hurley.
One day prior to the Classic, Cooper will also host all
participants at his Tee Party, a gathering that includes a cocktail
reception, a silent auction, dinner and live entertainment from the
likes of renowned magician Michael Finney, blues guitarist Jonny
Lang, comedian Larry the Cable Guy and even Cooper himself. For
the second straight year, a limited number of Tee Party tickets will
also be available for public purchase.
Founded with Cooper’s wife, Sheryl, and good friend Chuck
Savale, the organization has raised funds to develop Alice Cooper’s
Rock Teen Center, a Phoenix-based facility in which youth, aged 12
to 20, can participate in free music and dance classes and receive
sound, lighting and staging vocational training in a safe, supervised
environment. As a result, children and young adults are exposed to
career options, networking opportunities and newfound hobbies
they may have never considered otherwise.
In support of his commitment to the youth of Phoenix, Cooper
will host his 18th annual Rock & Roll Golf Classic on Monday, April
27. For the third consecutive year, Las Sendas Golf Club in Mesa,
Arizona, will host the event, with tournament play on the Robert
Trent Jones, Jr. course overlooking the Phoenix skyline.
17
strokeplay
The following morning, Mike Malaska,
the 2011 PGA Teacher of the Year, will
host a golf clinic at 7 a.m. for all interested
participants. The tournament itself will
then kickoff with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun
start, followed by a luncheon and awards
ceremony in which the first place team
members will receive Rock & Roll Golf
Classic custom leather jackets and have
their names etched on the tournament’s
trophy.
As part of the event, Sheryl Cooper will
also host her third annual Rock the
Runway Fashion and Trunk Show at Las
Sendas. Show participants can purchase
rock-and-roll fashion accessories, jewelry
and makeup as well as listen to music, drink
wine and enjoy a luncheon buffet. Like the
tournament, the show will raise charitable
dollars for Solid Rock and Alice Cooper’s
Rock Teen Center.
As Cooper prepares for yet another
Rock & Roll Golf Classic, he is thankful for
all past participants who have generously
donated hundreds of thousands of dollars
since 1997. As a result of their time and
effort, Phoenix’s youth will continue to
have a facility in which they can support
one another and cultivate their talents for
years to come.
“I am looking forward to another great
tournament at Las Sendas and am grateful
to all of our celebrities, sponsors, golfers
and volunteers who make this event
18
possible,” Cooper says. “With their
support, we are able to make an everlasting
difference in the lives of teens.”

my Alcott became a member of the LPGA Tour in
1975. She won five majors and 29 total tour events
and is in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Decades have
passed and Alcott is still a force to be reckoned with.
As she made her way through the Mission Hills Country Club
clubhouse recently—a facility that holds so many memories for
her—the proof that others have happy memories of her career
came right up and spoke to her.
A woman introduced herself and recounted to Alcott the time
she watched her win a particular event in a long-passed decade.
She’s proof of Alcott’s own strong beliefs when the discussion turns
to The Legends Tour.
boost. While the senior open will be USGA property, as are all
USGA championships, the fact that such a championship exists
will lend legitimacy to, and shine a spotlight on, senior women and
Legends Tour participants.
Nancy Lopez
Julie Inkster
Patty Sheehan
Alcott recalls seeing a quote at the time the Legends Tour
started. “I read a quote and I don’t know who it was, but she said,
‘who wants to watch a bunch of old ladies like us play golf?’ I
thought, well, that’s a lot of BS because I have this tremendous
following still from the ’70s and ’80s and ’90s where people in
airports and all over come up to me, like this woman earlier, and say
‘I saw you win in Portland’ or wherever.
“There are people who yearn for yesteryear and they want to
see the stars of the past like the Nancy Lopezes, the Amy Alcotts,
the Hollis Stacys, Pat Bradleys, Besty Kings, Patty Sheehans, and the
Jan Stevensons.”
The 2015 Legends Tour features nine events, including the
season-ending ISPS Handa Cup, during which the U.S. takes on
the World. This year’s competition takes place Nov. 12-14 at Palm
Aire Country Club in Sarasota, Florida. The U.S. women won last
year’s event but the World team won in 2013 for the first time,
just a year after the U.S. team retained the cup with a tie.
Of the nine events, three are pro-ams and six have direct links
to charities. But Alcott believes the tour can achieve and enjoy the
same type of status as its male counterpart, the Champions Tour.
The USGA’s recent decision to add a U.S. Senior Women’s Open
Championship to its championship schedule will give the tour a
“[The USGA] doesn’t have an association with the Legends
Tour, but myself and a couple of others have really rooted for this,
to get them to take a look at it over the last 10 years,” Alcott says.
But it was only when USGA executive director, Mike Davis, and
USGA president, Tom O’Toole—a couple of “very forwardthinking guys” according to Alcott—started thinking that they had
all these other championships but not a U.S. Senior Women’s Open
that momentum was increased.

Beth Daniel
JoAnne Carner
“And as I was quoted as saying, Paula
Creamer and Michelle Wie, when their
day is up, would love to play in a U.S. Senior
Women’s Open,” Alcott says. “And I’m sure
Nancy Lopez, who never won a U.S.
Women’s Open championship, would love
to play in a U.S. Senior Women’s Open.”
Alcott says she isn’t surprised that the
Legends Tour has not taken off yet, noting
that many potential sponsors have not yet
embraced the concept. But playing
competitively for pay isn’t the only
motivation for her and many of her
Legends peers. Junior outreach and charity
fundraising are also priorities for the
Legends players, exemplified by their
charitable associations. And Alcott is
spearheading what is now the ANA
Inspiration Champions Junior Challenge
(for more on this tournament see pg. 34).
The winner of the junior challenge earns
an exemption into the ANA Inspiration
field.
Alcott believes that the Legends Tour
will have its day, with indirect help from the
USGA and its current leadership. And like
22
the Champions Tour, the Legends’ ranks
will, theoretically, be perpetually restocked as each LPGA player passes her
45th birthday.
“Men are changing. I’m very impressed
with the leadership of the USGA,” Alcott
says. “They’ve always been very
approachable, they’ve always been the
watchdogs of golf and they run great
championships, but now they seem even
more accessible. And as a two-time USGA
champion, I think this is really a good thing
that they’re going to do this in 2018.”
In the meantime, Alcott and the other
Legends are happy, and reasonably busy,
enjoying what they have now.
“This is our group,” she says. “It’s nice to
see each other. It’s reserved for a small
group of us and it’s something that we all
really treasure.”

The Hideaway Hole No. 7
CourseDesign
By Clive Clark
There I was, walking over a
large expanse of sandy desert
in La Quinta –a square mile
of it, to be precise. We were
in the very early process of
constructing the course at
The Hideaway. It was a Sunday
morning and all was quiet as no machines were
working.
As I came over the top of one of the many sand
dunes, a voice piped up, “Oy, you’re not supposed to
be in here. You’re trespassing.” The voice belonged
to a man dressed like a pseudo-sheriff with a gold
badge large and bright enough to attract satellite
Original concept rendering Hole No. 7
attention. Before he managed to get me in an arm
lock and put the cuffs on, I pointed out that “this
whole area is going to be a golf course and I am the
designer.”
When the machines are having a day off and all
around is peaceful, it is often a good time to collect
one’s thoughts.
But I digress. Let me take you back to the
beginning. In this instance, I was initially faced with
a square mile of pan-flat desert containing just one
tree. The only other vegetation on the site was dry
and gnarly tumbleweed.
There were also the residential lots to consider.
These lots play a large part in the development of a
club, especially a high-end country club such as The
Hideaway. The placement of the lots is critical for
real estate sales but also impacts the planning and
construction of the golf course. There is, therefore, a
great deal of to’ing and fro’ing between the course
architect and consultant planners who, between
them, have to make the golf course and residential
component meld as one.
From the architect’s perspective, you eventually
end up with suitably sized corridors that form the
outline of the routing plan for the course. This plan
is critical as it determines the basis for the layout of
the golf.
The initial plan for The Hideaway included a par
4 running parallel to Jefferson Street, a main arterial
road. The hole, which eventually doglegged to the
right, looked good on paper. I quickly decided,
however, to turn it into a par 3 as players would be
hitting medium irons off the tee rather than drivers.
The liability of balls bouncing down Jefferson
Street and taking out cars was a horrendous
thought.
Normally, a designer tries to fit golf shots and
strategies into the contours of the land, which looks
Site of Hole No. 7
more natural and is cost effective. But when you
have a piece of land that has no more contour than
that of a pool table, it’s open season for the designer
to cut loose and create his own contours and
features.
The interesting aspect of course design is that
each puzzle is different depending on the nature of
the site. Generally, when you mix residential
development with golf on a flat sandy site, modern
thinking dictates that, if you have the budget, you
create valleys for the golf so the homes look into the
course and consequently acquire a more attractive
view. In turn, this also works better for the golf
because it gives the course a more secluded feel and
allows the holes to snake laterally down the valleys,
creating more movement and interest.
One of my favorite holes at The Hideaway is the
7th, a short par 3 of 151 yards laced with split-level

pools, waterfalls and a vividly colored
landscape. The design of this hole actually
had its origins in sketches for a different
course. My old buddy Ernie Els and I were
going to team up to design a course on a site
just outside Cape Town. Unfortunately,
the developer had been up to some
nefarious dealings somewhere in
Zimbabwe and was taken away in
handcuffs, not to be seen again for a
number of years. That was the beginning
and the end of that golf course.
Some years later, when The Hideaway
was on the drawing board, I reviewed my
original sketches of one particular par 3 on
the Cape Town layout and found that, with
some minor changes and enhancements, it
would be a perfect—if expensive—fit for
The Hideaway. Mike Meldman, whose
company Discovery Land runs The
Hideaway, is a great client and always
encourages a standard of excellence. His
words were simply, “Go for it.” I did,
keeping in mind that the trick with a hole
that has a lot going on and many water
features is to keep it relatively short and
make sure there is a generously sized
green.
Another one of my favorite holes at
The Hideaway is the 13th, a par 5. This was
originally a corner of the site that had some
spare land, meaning there was sufficient
room to build a hole featuring “risk and
reward” that would give the golfer who hits
a long drive some choices. Subject to a long
drive, the player can go directly for the
green with the second shot, but that entails

taking a risk by playing over a lake and
splitting the line between two giant dunes.
The more conservative approach is to play
to the left of the dunes where there is
ample fairway, resulting in a third shot of
around 90 yards. Hmm, I wonder how
many balls have been arrested in those
dunes?
Personally, I love risk-and-reward holes.
The beckoning finger of fate entices and
excites. The gloves are off. Now the golfer
not only has to think and use his/her grey
matter but also execute the shot. Coming
to a risk-and-reward hole is somewhat like

Speaking of risk and reward, the great Argentinian golfer
Roberto de Vicenzo tells the story of playing with a young
professional at Walton Heath in Surrey, England. They reached the
12th hole, where a cluster of very large trees protected the dogleg.
Roberto said to the young professional, “In my youth, I used to
carry those trees.” After the young professional’s ball clattered into
the trees, Roberto added, “Of course, 30 years ago those trees were
much smaller!”

in Rancho Mirage, California, will host the 2nd Annual
Spring Pro-Am Tournament, held conjunction with
the Desert Chapter of the Southern California PGA
and Callaway Golf. Proceeds from the event will benefit Boys &
Girls Club of Coachella Valley.
Tamarisk Country Club is a natural to host this event. For more
than 45 years, Tamarisk was part of the biggest and most famous
pro-am in the Coachella Valley, the PGA Tour’s Bob Hope Classic.
The format of the two tournaments is similar. The Spring ProAm will pair one PGA professional with three amateur players.
Teams compete in low-net competition while pros concurrently
play low gross for medalist honors and cash prizes. Approximately
30 local PGA golf professionals will participate, representing local
clubs throughout the desert.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley is a member chapter of
Boys & Girls Clubs of America, serving thousands of youth
throughout the Coachella Valley with clubhouses in Desert Hot
Springs, La Quinta, Indio, Coachella and Mecca. The organization’s
afterschool and summer programs, activities, guidance and
mentorship play a critical role in providing the valley’s young
people, particularly those in need, with the tools to build
successful, satisfying and significant lives.
Teams interested in participating in the Tamarisk Spring ProAm should contact their desert golf club professional.

O
n February 15, 1999, Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred
Biletnikoff received news that no parent ever should:
his only daughter, Tracey, a 20-year-old college student,
had just been murdered by her boyfriend.
Somehow, someway, the former Pro Bowl wide receiver found
strength amid the chaos and, consequently, developed a new sense
of purpose for his life. A few months after Tracey’s tragic passing,
he founded the Biletnikoff Foundation, a nonprofit that supports
at-risk children and teenagers and helps them escape the harsh
realities of homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction and domestic
and gender violence.
The foundation also raises funds for the development of
Tracey’s Place of Hope, a residential program that houses 14- to 17year-old girls for up to a year, providing them a safe haven in which
to recover from substance abuse or mental-health issues.
Since 2000, the program has provided treatment to hundreds
of girls in California’s Placer and San Mateo counties. In fact,
through its recent partnership with Koinonia Homes for Teens,
which offers residential substance-abuse treatment in Loomis,
California, the program is steadily growing.
As a result of this expansion, Biletnikoff is now interested in
rebuilding the Placer County Tracey’s Place of Hope at Koinonia in
an effort to help even more youth overcome their issues and live
long, healthy lives, freed from the negative influences of substance
abuse and violence.
To that end, Biletnikoff will host his 11th annual Hall of Fame
Golf Classic Invitational on Monday, April 20. All funds raised from
the invitational will go toward Biletnikoff’s rebuilding initiatives.
This year, 180 participants are expected, including Pro Football
Hall of Famers such as San Diego Chargers tight end Kellen
Winslow and Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown, as well as
actors including Saved by the Bell’s Dennis Haskins and Malcolm
in the Middle’s Frankie Muniz.
For the third consecutive year, the invitational will be hosted at
Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, California, an exclusive private
country club with northern California’s first Jack Nicklaus
Signature course—a challenging, 7,459-yard layout from the back
tees.
“By popular demand, Ruby Hill was chosen to host the
invitational once again,” Biletnikoff says. “Not only does the club
have an outstanding course, it also has a great staff that will
accommodate our unique golf experience.”
And what an experience it is. For starters, the invitational
features fivesomes, a format that gives four amateurs the
opportunity to golf with one professional athlete or celebrity. After
the invitational concludes, golfers will also be able to participate in
a putting contest that will award $5,000 to the winner. In addition,
four of the invitational’s participants will be randomly selected to
compete in a shootout on the 18th fairway, in which they have one
opportunity to hole-out from 166 yards. If they do, they will win
$100,000.
Automobiles, premium watches and golf bags will also be
awarded on four of Ruby Hill’s par-three holes if participants
manage to ace any of them. Before, during and after the invitational,
participants will also be able to enjoy cigars donated from Ohinoe
Cigar Lounge, alcoholic beverages from Proximo Spirits and wine
from Louis M. Martini Winery. Food will be supplied by Pheasant
Wood Catering, Kinder’s Meats and BBQ and Ruth’s Chris
Steakhouse.
At 7 p.m., the invitational will also host its first-ever concert jam
session, featuring the talents of comedians Gary Mule Deer, Kevin
Farley and Henry Scott, as well as a house band, The Decades, a
quintet from Chino, California, which plays music from the 1940s
to today. The concert will be opened to the public at 5:30 p.m. for
an advanced purchase ticket price of $50.
“Aside from the camaraderie, golf and entertainment, the
primary highlight of the invitational will be the impact it has on
young girls’ lives,” Biletnikoff says. “Through the generous support
of this year’s participants and donors, Tracey’s Place of Hope will
continue to provide girls a refuge and, above all else, hope.”

Cook and Mulligan will share some of their
golf-shot secrets and tell their PGA Tour
stories for all to enjoy. Additionally, during
the Invitational, which starts at 9 a.m.,
Cook and Mulligan will hit shots with the
foursomes in the field, creating memorable
moments for all participants. A luncheon
and awards ceremony follows the
tournament and wraps up at 3 p.m.
Proceeds from the Invitational
specifically fund the Ken Venturi Endowed
Chair for Proton Therapy Research at
Loma Linda University Medical Center,
which benefits patient care through
continuing research on proton therapy.
And the money helps in another way as
well, by raising awareness of proton
therapy among the public and patients
who may not know that this option exists
and who could benefit from it.

W
hen golf great Ken
Venturi met Dr. James M.
Slater in 1972, thanks to
his friend Frank Sinatra, it
was the start of a lifelong friendship that
had a positive impact far beyond the two
men. Eventually, Dr. Slater would realize
his life’s great goal in 1990 when he opened
the Proton Treatment Center at Loma
Linda University Cancer Center, and his
friend Venturi would not hesitate to help
when asked by Slater to host the first
Proton Charity Invitational.
The rest, as they say, is history. Venturi
continued to support the tournament and
the center for well over two decades,
serving as host of the Invitational for its first
23 years. Over those years, the tournament
raised $3.4 million to further technological
breakthroughs that have helped more
than 18,000 people with various kinds of
cancer and tumors.
Proton radiation treatment, or proton
beam therapy, is the most precise and
advanced form of radiation therapy
available today. It is a painless, non-invasive
treatment that allows patients to maintain
their quality of life and quickly resume
normal activities.
Just ask Palm Springs, California,
resident Hilton Whittiker, who beat
prostate cancer with proton therapy
without experiencing any side effects. In
fact, he would have his proton treatments
in the morning and play a round of golf in
the afternoon.
This year marks the 25th edition of the
Loma Linda University Proton Charity
Invitational. It takes place April 27 at the

California, on the first Jack Nicklaus-

Palm Springs. After registration and
breakfast, there’s a sponsor tournament
followed by a buffet lunch and awards

chest, abdomen and prostate. The
treatments are minimally invasive and

spotlight
How successful has the ANA
Inspiration Champions Junior Challenge
become?
Consider that this year’s field will
feature two previous Junior Challenge
veterans, both of whom will compete in
the 2015 Junior Challenge on March 30 at
Mission Hills Country Club’s Palmer
Course. Now in its fourth year, the winner
of the challenge earns an automatic
exemption into the newest incarnation of
the LPGA’s first major of the year, the
ANA Inspiration. The Monday medalist
will tee off with the championship field on
April 2 on the Mission Hills Dinah Shore
Tournament Course, and should she make
the cut—as the last two qualifiers have—
she’ll play in the final round on April 5.
Last year, Angel Yin and Lilia Vu both
made the cut and played the weekend. Yin,
the 2013 Junior Challenge winner and
current No. 2 on the Southern California
Golf Association (SCGA) Junior Golf
Scoreboard Ranking, and Vu, the 2014
Junior Challenge winner, are scheduled to
play in this year’s event. They’ll have plenty
of competition from 31 of California’s top
junior girls, including two-time Toyota
Tour Cup winner Haley Moore of
Escondido, 2014 San Diego Junior
Amateur Champion Ellen Takada of Irvine
and 2014 Rolex Junior Championship
medalist Elizabeth Wang of San Marino.
Wang is one of four 14-year-olds
scheduled to participate, along with two
13-year-olds, Escondido’s Karah Sanford
and San Jose’s Sabrina Iqbal. Sanford is a sixtime San Diego Junior Amateur
champion, two-time Callaway Junior
World champion, three-time TaylorMade
World Masters of Junior Golf champion, a
two-time U.S. Kids World champion, and
she represented Southern California in the
2014 National Drive, Chip and Putt
Championship at Augusta National Golf
Club. Iqbal is a 2014 California
Interscholastic Federation-Central Coast
Section California High School champion,
and was medalist at her 2013 U.S. Girls'
Junior Championship Qualifier.
“We’re thrilled to welcome four of the
top 15 junior girls in the nation to this
year’s Junior Challenge,” says Gabe
Codding, tournament director. “This event
has become an important part of the
LPGA’s first major championship, and this
year our past winners will continue to
provide inspiration for California’s best
junior players.”
The participation of the past winners is
one unique element of the Junior
Challenge. LPGA Legends Tour players act
as team captains during the tournament,
each mentoring and coaching a team of
three girls. Among this year’s Legends
participants are Amy Alcott, winner in
1983, 1988 and 1991; World Golf Hall of
Fame member and 1986 champion, Pat
Bradley; and 19-time LPGA Tour winner,
1975 champion and 2014 winning
mentor, Sandra Palmer. Past champions
Donna Caponi (1980), Besty King (1987,
1990, 1997), Patty Sheehan (1996) and
World Golf Hall of Fame member Kathy
Whitworth (1977) are also scheduled to
take part.
The championship is organized and
conducted under the umbrella of the
SCGA’s Youth on Course initiative,
created to promote the education and
character development of Southern
California youth through the game of golf.
Its programs are designed to offer
affordable access to golf, to instill integrity
and responsibility through the game and
to provide educational opportunities for
youngsters from fifth grade to college.
Kevin Gigax, executive director of
SCGA Youth on Course, led the junior
selection committee. He says that the
bonds created between the Legends and
the juniors is one of the most important
byproducts of an event that generates all
manner of positive experiences and
interactions between the playing
generations.
“This is such an incredible opportunity
for 30 girls to spend time with the women
they’ve admired for years, and we want to
give them full advantage of the time they
will have together,” Gigax says. “But that
doesn’t take away from the level of
competition apparent in this year’s field. A
true champion will emerge and receive the
experience of a lifetime.”

T
he NFL could be described as an elite
dominion bound by rules of its own that, if
broken, are dealt with internally. It is obvious
to fans that the NFL frowns on players
showing overt enthusiasm, whether jubilant or defiant.
Yet the players who do so often become fan favorites.
One infamous fan favorite and media darling who
openly pushed the boundaries of the megalith NFL’s
code of ethics is Jim McMahon. The two-time Super
Bowl Champion, NFC Rookie of the Year and NFL
Comeback Player of the Year kicked before he threw his
way into the limelight and a tumultuous career.
As a freshman at Brigham Young University,
McMahon earned a spot on the team as a punter. With a
loftier position in mind, McMahon eventually
transitioned to starting quarterback and racked up 11
straight wins. The team set 32 NCAA records to claim
the Western Athletic Conference Championship in
1979.
Drafted into the NFL in 1982, McMahon debuted
with the Chicago Bears, attending his first public
function with a beer in his hand and winning the
coveted starting quarterback job as a rookie. Critics
waited to pounce on this seemingly arrogant
rookie, but McMahon almost immediately
displayed a natural ability to read defenses and
possessed an athletic versatility that surprised
many.
During his 13-year NFL career, McMahon
played for seven teams, was touted as the best
rollout passer of all time, was notorious for
his head-first, baseball-style slides when
running the football, and became the first
spotlight
quarterback to rush for two touchdowns in Super Bowl XX,
earning a spot in the Pro Bowl.
In spite of his successful career on the field, McMahon’s wellpublicized defiant personality was the fuel that had him butting
heads with his coaches, teammates and, frequently, the media.
After McMahon was fined $5,000 for wearing an Adidas headband,
which violated the team dress code, fans began sending him
headbands depicting different causes, such as juvenile diabetes,
which he would wear during games. He was also known for
wearing sunglasses, an act that was once again publicized as defiant,
though McMahon said he wore them because of a childhood eye
injury.
And who hasn’t heard the story about McMahon mooning
journalists at the Super Bowl in New Orleans after the media’s
incessant questions about a minor injury to his buttocks?
As shining, and perhaps outwardly outrageous, as McMahon’s
career was, his years with the Chicago Bears were plagued with
injuries from a lacerated kidney, concussions and blunt-force
trauma to the head.
In 2010, McMahon admitted to having memory problems, and
he and six other retired football players filed a class-action suit
against the NFL, citing negligence and misconduct related to
concussion-type injuries. McMahon quickly became the face of
football-related injuries, in turn prompting 75 more players to
come forward and ultimately expanding the scope of the suit to
potentially all NFL players who suffered game-related concussions
or head injuries.
Today, the 56-year-old McMahon lives on the outskirts of
Scottsdale, Arizona, and enjoys golf. He recently played in the
Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament, and he’ll
return to the Coachella Valley to participate in the Patrick
Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament.
Still, the first question one is inclined to ask the former
quarterback is, “How have you been feeling lately?”
With a deep breath and sigh McMahon replies, “Some days are
better than others.” And then the room goes quiet. He’d rather talk
about golf, a game he has been playing since he was 17.
Perhaps the most outstanding feature of his game is the fact that
he plays barefoot. “When I was in college, my roommate Kevin
Tennant worked at a golf course during the summer. Instead of me
going to my summer job that was on a farm, I would just go to his
and play golf,” McMahon says. “I used to hold the club like a
baseball bat and try to hit the ball like a baseball; that didn’t work
too good. Kevin saw what I was doing and taught me how to hold
the club, then I started hitting it straighter and farther and have
been playing the game ever since.”
Golf is clearly a subject McMahon likes. “Athletes love to play
the game of golf because it’s a game you can’t master,” he continues.
“Every day is different, and there are some days it’s like I’ve never
played the game before and other days I play pretty well.”
McMahon’s current index is an 8, and has been as low as a 4. “I
couldn’t win any bets so I had to shoot a bunch of crappy rounds to
get my handicap up,” he admits with a chuckle. “I was tired of being
the human ATM out there!”
McMahon’s penchant for playing barefoot is not just for show.
Although he started playing that way back when he was 17 simply
because it was summer, he has more compelling reasons now. “I have
bad feet for one, it feels good and it’s good for your balance,” he says.
“The game of golf is about balance. If I put shoes on, I swing too hard.”
McMahon lives life day by day. When he’s feeling well, he spends
a large portion of the year traveling to play in charity golf
tournaments for his friends and the two foundations he has, the
Linda McMahon Ferguson Foundation for Literacy and Players
Against Concussions.
With his current focus on helping others, McMahon is hoping
to close a chapter in his life pertaining to the 2010 lawsuit against
the NFL. So where does it stand?
“As far as I know, they are trying to figure out the level of our
injuries. Everyone has to go through tests. I’m through with all of
my testing and now it’s up to them—the lawyers—as to what I’m
going to get. We filed that so many years ago and still nothing has
happened, no one has gotten any money yet. Hopefully, I’ll get it
before I die.”
McMahon doesn’t belong to a country club but has played golf
all over the United States and overseas. He would rather play than
practice on the driving range. “That bores the hell out of me and it’s
not the same as having to hit a shot when you are playing,” he points
out.
McMahon is a popular and public figure who is much sought
after as a celebrity at charity golf events because he makes the day
fun for everyone and gives it his all. Tennant, the college roommate
who taught him the game, remains a close friend.
The outspoken McMahon seems to have mellowed with age,
maybe because he spends a lot of his time surrounded by the peace
and beauty of golf courses. Life is good, he states, because “Every
day is Friday to me.”

have transformed our entire
culture can be counted by
adding together the contents of
several cans of tennis balls.
Tennis legend Rosemary “Rosie” Casals

of transformers. There’s no such thing as
honorary membership; acceptance is
strictly earned.
as one of the most successful duos in tennis
history. They are the only doubles team to
have won U.S. titles on grass, clay, indoor
and hard surfaces.
Seriously troubled by the discrimination
against women players in earning
comparable prize money, as well as the
inequity in pay between amateur and pro
players, Casals took a bold stand in 1970
by forming a group called the “Original 9”
with King. These trailblazers created
their own tour and changed the sport of
tennis for women and men forever, as
founders of the Women’s Tennis
Association (WTA).
Casals says, “I am proud to know that I
was the force behind these changes. Men
used to receive so much more prize
money than women for the same
tournaments, so we really had to fight for
Casals’ name has become synonymous
with courage. She represents the concept
of absolute equality of opportunity and
reward, regardless of gender and extending
far beyond the worlds of tennis and sports.
As a young player, Casals was an
accomplished athlete with a determined
attitude. During her tennis career, she
ranked third among U.S. women, and she
won 12 Grand Slam titles, seven
Wimbledon (five with Billie Jean King),
two mixed doubles with Ilie Nastase, four
U.S. Open doubles titles and a U.S. Open
mixed doubles. Her 112 doubles titles are
second only to Martina Navratilova. Casals
and King dominated women's doubles
tournaments for years and they’re regarded

the WTA and to see women recognized as legit athletes. I’m so
glad I was able to be a powerful voice.”
The emergence of the WTA impacted more than tennis, sports
or even women. “Our efforts changed everything, including
opportunities for education, scholarships, jobs it even brought
about Title IX,” Casals says. “This was all happening at the same
time that Gloria Steinem was demanding equality for women,
burning bras and all of that. Of course, in the ’70s, we were young
and not afraid. Some people took the safe road, but I did not.”

what is today the BNP, in advancing the
tournament over the years, along with Ray
Moore.
Today, Casals enjoys playing friends and
neighbors at her home base in Palm Desert,
but her primary focus is on creating a
volley of tennis opportunities for youth. A
product of training and practice in her
teens on the public courts of Golden Gate
Park in San Francisco, Casals feels kids
should be playing more, especially on the
numerous free courts here in the desert.
She says, “Look at youth soccer; that’s
where we want to be with tennis. With
stronger grassroots programs here, this is a
perfect place for the USTA to tap into.”
Working to accomplish this, Casals is
coordinating the first annual “Rosie Casals
and Jackie Cooper Invitational” on April 26,
2015, at Indian Ridge Country Club. It will
benefit the Tory Fretz-Jackie Cooper Junior
Tennis Fund at Variety the Children’s
Charity of the Desert. Organized through
her company, Sportswoman, Inc.
(sportswomanevents.com), the event will
raise funds for grant support of youth tennis
in the desert.
Casals reflects on her social triumphs
by saying, “We risked it all. We risked our
livelihoods, but in a way we had nothing to
lose. If you want it bad enough, you go out
and get it.”

Casals believes that tennis offered a
catalyst for social change. “Tennis was the
vehicle to bring these things about,” she says.
“A big part of it was just re-educating people.
Lots of men have actually thanked me.”
She maintains that entertainment
value is key. “It’s exciting to know that
WTA is standard viewing on the Tennis
Channel and that women’s matches have
the same command of people’s attention
and interest as well as advertising and
production dollars.”
As a case in point, Casals points to the
return of Serena Williams to the BNP
Paribas after 13 years. “A woman’s match
with a megastar like Serena creates an ideal
package, and she’s sure to be a sell-out.”
As for the BNP Paribas, Casals believes
that it rivals any of the Grand Slams, even
though there are no mixed doubles. She
applauds owner Larry Ellison for thinking
big and says, “Thanks to his commitment
and support, it has become a showcase
tournament.”

or college tennis players, the pressure to perform starts a
lot earlier than it does for most other college students.
Expectations are ratcheted up (and racketed up) the
moment they join their school’s tennis team.
Participants in the annual National Collegiate Tennis Classic,
“the Wimbledon of college tennis,” likely feel this squeeze. This
year, the 2015 N.C.T.C. was played at Sunrise Country Club in
Rancho Mirage, California, over the Martin Luther King holiday
weekend. The 36th annual three-day event featured the nation’s
best National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) college
tennis teams with the top men and women players from leading
colleges and universities competing against each other.
Teams invited to participate this year included those from
Pepperdine, USC, UCLA, University of Washington, University of
Woman's winner Kyle McPhillips (UCLA)
Arizona, University of San Diego and Texas A&M. Matches were
structured with a 32-draw elimination format for men and
women’s singles. The doubles competition, consisting of 16 draws,
was played with the same format. Winning players in both singles
and doubles continued to compete against other winners while
other players took part in daily consolation matches. Individual
trophies were awarded to winners and finalists in individual men
and women’s as well as doubles championships.
Tournament co-chair Bob Cannon, who has been at the helm of
the event since 1985, says, “This tournament is a way for the public
to enjoy the excitement of college tennis, and it also introduces
them to the U.S. pro stars of tomorrow.”
Cannon, along with his co-chair, Sandra Karvelas, appreciates
the drive and character that these young people regularly exhibit.
“Besides being great athletes,” he says, “all of these kids are good
students and good citizens. There’s never a problem with this
group, and most are actually opening their books and studying
between matches to keep their GPAs up.”
One of the more dominant teams at this year’s Classic was the
University of Washington (UW), with several players reaching the
finals and competing against each other.
Matt Anger, UW’s head tennis coach, played collegiate tennis
himself at USC and was a three-time All-American, leading the
team to a top-five finish three consecutive years. In 1983, he was a
Pac-10 singles finalist and helped lead the Trojans to a third-place
NCAA finish. After going pro, Anger reached No. 23 in the world
in the ATP singles ranking in 1986. Since becoming head coach for
the Huskies 21 years ago, Anger has been credited with being the
winningest coach in Washington history. His team is a consistent
fixture in the top-25 of the NCAA championships.
During a break from the weekend Classic competition, Anger
said, “One of the biggest challenges in coaching college players is to
get them to unlearn certain habits. There’s a resistance to change.
But as a coach, I always try to make it fun. The difference in college
tennis today is the depth of play. There are really only a handful of
teams that are set apart.”
Anger, Cannon, about 60 event sponsors, staff from host venue
Sunrise Tennis Club and some of the college players broke bread

Country Club tennis pro Erick Collas thanked sponsors, players
and coaches by offering a “toast to the partnership.”
A lively and hungry group of eight players from the University
of Washington men’s team, ranging from freshmen to seniors, took
time out to enjoy kale salads and pasta while comparing notes
about their weekend tournament experiences.
Teammates Jake Douglas from Rolling Hills, California and his
close friend Mitch Stewart, from Federal Way, Washington, joked
that despite their freshmen roommate status, they are fierce
competitors on the court. The two were headed into the final-day
set to play each other but had already figured out the best way to
deal with the outcome where only one of them would win: the
loser would take care of the winner’s laundry for the rest of the year.
Stewart gave high praise to coach Anger, saying, “Matt has such
great experience from being on tour himself. He knows absolutely
everything about tennis, and he’s a great role model.”
As to the upshot of the game the following day, Douglas took
Stewart to the cleaners by nabbing the single’s title, winning his
matches 6-2, 6-3 over Stewart and claiming his first collegiate title.
It’s probably time for Stewart to stock up on laundry detergent.

Many of the holes you play in golf are not perfectly straight holes. Golf course designers add difficulty by giving holes a variety
of bend known as a dogleg. A dogleg hole is one that bends, changing direction at a certain point along its length. One of my
favorite golf courses in the Coachella Valley is The Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club. Having been the
teaching pro at The Golf Academy at Mission Hills for nine years, I had a lot of opportunity to master the tricky doglegs that
Desmond Muirhead strategically placed on this course.

When I come across a hole where the dogleg is a very severe angle of change, I leave
my driver in the bag and go with my fairway wood to better control the spin direction
of my ball with the extra loft from the clubface. This puts me in a position of more
control off the tee.
Many times, a golf course designer will position a fairway bunker on the outside
portion of the dogleg to collect an errant tee shot. I like to use these fairway bunkers
as an aiming point for my tee shot on dogleg holes. I align myself on this dogleg left
hole as though I am going to execute a straight shot at the bunker.
The main adjustment I make is in how I grip my club. Because I want the ball to spin
in the same direction as the angle of the dogleg—in this case right to left—I angle the
club face slightly closed as I take my grip with my thumbs on top in a 12:00 position.
Technically, this is known as a "strong grip/closed clubface."
As I make my swing, I want to be sure that in transition I have my golf club on the
correct swing path, as though I am going to hit the ball into the bunker. But as I make
my way through impact, my strong grip will rotate the club face into a slightly closed
angle and will impart a right-to-left spin on the ball so the shape of the ball’s flight will match
the angle of the fairway.

Now, I am on a hole where the dogleg angles left to right. I’m
going to use the fairway bunker on the outside of the dogleg
as my aiming point and swing path to launch my ball into the
air toward the right corner of the bunker.
Again, the main adjustment I’m going to make is in my grip. I
am going to angle the club face slightly open with my
thumbs positioned on top of the club at 12:00. This is
technically known as a weak grip, which will influence the ball to
have a left-to-right spin on it through the air.

directly to the target line, which will launch the ball in the direction
of the target. The key to fading the ball off the bunker into the
fairway is the slightly open clubface created by my weak grip. This
open clubface through impact will create the desired left-to-right
spin on the ball, which will help move the ball off the bunker and
into the middle of the fairway.

My main goal in my swing is to feel like I’m going to execute a

my swing I can see that I have the shaft “on-plane” as it angles

There may not be any single act in sports that’s more difficult to consistently execute than properly hitting a golf ball, and there’s
certainly no greater thrill than those moments when everything falls into place and you hit the ideal shot.
But let’s put the emotional element of the game to the side and listen to what noted PGA Tour instructor David Rasmussen says about
the game: “Good golf begins and ends with a good swing and a good swing is a physical act.”
That’s a deceptively simple basic fact that every golfer—professional or amateur—needs to understand. And it’s the reason that the golf
world has always been prime territory for selling all kinds of gizmos, gadgets and systems “guaranteed” to improve a player’s game. However,
few of these take a holistic approach to the “physical act” required for a good swing, and that’s why they are all eventually tossed aside.
Putting it all together
Brian Miller, a local professional golfer, understands that very
well. “I’ve worked out all my life and have lifted weights to get
stronger for golf, but I’ve found myself fighting the same battle
most golfers fight: How do I get stronger and still stay flexible?”
The answer is a program that takes both needs into
consideration. According to Rasmussen, it takes a variety of
elements to build a good golf swing:
Increased speed and accuracy
Improved shoulder and hip turn
Posture adjustments
Improved pelvic mobility
Better concentration and focus
When these elements are put together, you make better
contact with the ball, it goes farther in the direction you want it to
go and you’re able to control the ball’s trajectory better. The secret
golfers are always looking for is a training system that combines all
of these elements so they can finally make real progress improving
their game. That’s exactly what Gyrotonic training for golfers is
able to do.
Strength, speed and flexibility required
Miller points out that an ideal golf swing requires a strong core
and the ability to create separation between your body parts.
“Along with weights,” he says, “I’ve done yoga, Pilates and other
exercise techniques to achieve this, all with limited results. But
when I started Gyrotonic training, it blew my mind. Half of the
exercises and positions I was put in were identical to the golf swing.
Single spiral on the handle unit. This move helps you maintain a stable lower body and enables you to make a 90-degree
shoulder rotation in relation to your hips, which stay stable and facing forward.
46
fitnesstraining
Standing twist and pull. This enables you to create a dynamic rotational pull that facilitates separation of your rib cage,
allowing you to lift your rib cage for a fully loaded backswing.
After only two months, I realized that I had
finally found a way to create separation
between my upper and lower body and
my swing greatly improved.”
Players who start Gyrotonic training
for golfers find that the system increases
strength, flexibility and speed—each an
essential element if you want to achieve
your ideal golf swing. Rasmussen was
perhaps the first golfer to realize this, and
it prompted him to develop a special
approach for applying the Gyrotonic
system to help golfers improve their
game.
Special golf program developed
Along with Gyrotonic founder and
creator, Juliu Horvath, Rasmussen
developed a Gyrotonic Applications for
Golf program to train instructors. I’m one
of the first instructors to complete both
levels of the program and I’ve learned so
much studying with Rasmussen, who has
worked with more than 20 Tour
professionals in his career, including Mark
Wilson, Bobby Clampett and Keith
Clearwater.
Working with local golfers, I’ve seen
how Gyrotonic training can quickly
improve their game. This often comes after
years of frustration caused by trying all
kinds of exercises that failed to truly
replicate the motion required for a great
golf swing.
I should also add that Gyrotonic
training improves hand-eye coordination,
balance, concentration, cardiovascular
fitness and spinal rotation. Further, along
with improving your game, it is great for
keeping you healthy and injury free. Sadly,
we’ve seen the back problems that plague
many Tour pros, including Tiger Woods.
Gyrotonic exercises will help keep your
back strong, flexible and ideally toned and
tuned to support your golf swing.

Gyrotonic pulley system. Using the lower cables in the Gyrotonic pulley system creates extension in the swing
while maintaining a stable lower body, and also strengthens the core via rotational pull.
golf analysts dissect swings during a
professional tournament, you know the
importance of a graceful, fluid and
perfectly timed stroke. These are exactly
the kinds of motions that you achieve with
Gyrotonic exercise routines.
When you compare these movements
with those typical in repetition-based
health-club machines, you immediately
see how the Gyrotonic Expansion System
far better complements what you are
trying to achieve in golf. Also, anyone who
has been seriously involved in free-weight
strength-building routines knows that
they can lead to the loss of flexibility, which
is critical in the game of golf.
At their best, golf swings are beautiful, a
kind of visual poetry that combines speed,
balance and power. That said, it’s probably
no surprise that Horvath, who designed
the Gyrotonic Expansion System, comes
from the world of dance.
Originally from Romania, he defected
in 1970 and eventually settled in New
York. After an injury ended his dance
career, he began to seriously study the
connection between movement and
meditation, which led to developing a
“Yoga for Dancers” system. This in turn led
to the invention of his Gyrotonic
equipment, which provides the core of our
training for golfers.
I urge you to experience this training
for yourself. There’s only so much I can
communicate and explain in words and
pictures. After all, as Rasmussen says, a
good swing is a physical activity and there is
ultimately no substitute for physically
experiencing the various exercises that
comprise Gyrotonic training for golfers. If
you want to play better, enjoy the game
more and guard yourself against injury,
take a “swing” at it.

The Madison Club

F
inding the right golf or tennis community is just as
important—or even more so—than finding the right
home. After all, it’s the lifestyle that most buyers are
seeking, especially those in the market for a second or
vacation home.
Price, of course, determines to a large extent where most people
end up. However, there are more than 100 private and semi-private
golf and tennis clubs in the Coachella Valley to choose from. Most
communities have homes and condos in a variety of price ranges,
but that can be where the similarities end. Each community also
offers its own particular set of attributes that make it a good fit—or
not—for buyers.
With the downturn in the economy over the past five years,
many of these clubs have suffered loss of members and are offering
incredible deals to attract new members. That’s why it’s important
to work with an experienced realtor who knows the area and what
each club has to offer—not just what’s available in terms of real
estate, but also the ins and outs of the clubs themselves.
As a 26-year desert resident, realtor, avid golfer and social tennis
player, I have had the opportunity to visit every golf course and
tennis community in the valley. I have also been a panelist and golf
course rater with Golf Digest for over 15 years and have rated most
of these facilities. I pride myself in matching my clients and friends
to the perfect club for their needs.
When meeting new clients I focus on asking lifestyle questions.
You can ask yourself these same questions to get a better sense of
which of the many communities and clubs in the Coachella Valley
might be right for you.
Consider the following: How important is golf and tennis? How
much are you willing to spend on golf and tennis? What is your golf
or tennis skill level? How many holes of golf do you want? How
many tennis courts? What are your interests and hobbies? Do you

offers two golf courses, some of the best
tennis in the desert, a great spa and fitness
center as well as a nice clubhouse for a
$10,000 membership fee. PGA West is
one of the best country club values in the
desert with family memberships starting at
$40,000.
At the other end of the spectrum, if
money is no object The Madison Club is
the place to be. If you can dream it the club
will have it or will find a way to create it.
From a stunning Tom Fazio-designed golf
course to exceptional dining, an opulent
clubhouse and incredible spa, it’s all here—
and with ultimate privacy.
There are many, many excellent
communities in the Coachella Valley and
these are just a handful of them. You
can also check out my website,
jennierobinson.com, which lists each
country club in the area with relevant facts
as well as every home listed in the club.
You’re holding in your hands another
excellent tool, one that I share with my
have children or grandchildren who will be
with you some of the time? Do you want a
club with a lot of social activity? What’s
your budget?
Of course, there’s enormous overlap in
what clubs offer, but asking and answering
these questions can help narrow down
your search and ensure that you will
ultimately feel comfortable at your new
club. Depending on your answers, you will
focus on different communities during
your home search.
For the true golf enthusiast or a golfloving couple at different skill levels, PGA
West might be a good choice. It has six
championship courses with five sets of tees
on each course, and it has one of the best
practice facilities around as well as a topnotch golf school. It would also be a top
choice for those who play both golf and
tennis as it also has 20 tennis courts.
Another option for serious golf and
tennis players is Mission Hills Country
Club. It has three championship golf
courses, including one playing host to an
LPGA major event, as well as 34 tennis
courts that have hosted many Davis cup
matches over the years. If having a great spa and fitness center
with a range of fitness classes is a focus,
Toscana Country Club should be in the
mix. In addition to two Jack Nicklaus
Signature golf courses, Toscana has a very
active cycling club and many social
activities as well as a social membership for
non-golfers, making it a good choice for

homebuyers looking for a community
with robust social programs and activities.
Do you have children or grand children
who will live with you or visit? The
Hideaway has excellent family and
children’s activities, including outdoor
movies. The Hideaway has a somewhat
younger membership and is fondly
referred to as the “fun” club in the desert.
Additionally it has two gorgeous golf
courses, a great spa and excellent food and
libations. Bighorn also offers a great
children’s setting with an awesome play
area and holiday and spring break activities.
Is budget a major consideration? For
affordability, Palm Valley Country Club
clients. Each issue of Desert Golf & Tennis
includes a list of clubs, contact information
and prices to join.
Once all of the important questions are
answered, I begin the work of introducing
buyers to specific clubs that will match
their lifestyle needs and offer the right
home as well. Making these perfect
matches makes my job rewarding.

This spring, thousands of art lovers will make their way to
Indian Wells Tennis Garden, the host, sponsor and venue for
the 2015 top-ranked Indian Wells Arts Festival, April 3-5. The
event showcases more than 200 judged and juried artists who
will exhibit their work and wares along the grass concourse of
the artisan village.
The impressive Tennis Garden is an ideal backdrop for the
equally impressive array of art exhibits. Festival guests are
invited to make a day of it, not only to enjoy the art but also to
explore the expansive Tennis Garden grounds, take in the
entertainment and sample a variety of food. It’s all presented in
an atmosphere of creativity and color, ideal for the festival.
“We here at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden like to be
involved with passionate people and Dianne Funk, the
producer of the Indian Wells Arts Festival, is just such a person,”
says Tennis Garden CEO, Raymond Moore. “She’s positive
about the festival and the arts and we look forward each year to
hosting this successful event.”
Funk, of Dianne Funk Productions, has equal admiration for

enjoys at The Indian Wells Tennis Garden,” she says
One of the best elements of the festival is that it puts artists and
attendees face-to-face. Guests can interact with artists and learn
about a variety of techniques and inspirations as they wander
through the marketplace. Exhibits include paintings, drawings,
ceramics, glass, photography, sculpture, jewelry, apparel and
handcrafted one-of-a-kind finds. Art Festival exhibitors will
intermittently demonstrate and explain characteristics of their
works. Among the demonstrations planned are glass blowing,
mural painting, sand sculpture, weaving and pottery throwing.
This much-anticipated event has something for everyone—
even the youngest art lovers. A children’s area offers a variety of
activities and photo opportunities for both kids and adults.

side, the NBA’s Phoenix Suns played three pre-season exhibition
games at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The first, on Oct. 11, 2008,
featured the Suns against the Denver Nuggets and was the NBA's
first outdoor game since 1972.
“We’re in discussions now to bring back October pre-season
basketball,” says Moore, adding that he’s also looking to add an ice
show to the annual event roster, which currently includes the
Indian Wells Arts Festival and Desert Lexus Jazz Festival in
addition to the many national junior, senior and collegiate tennis
events held at the Tennis Garden throughout each year.

The venue itself plays an important role in the festival
experience. From opulent stadium suites to remarkable meeting
spaces, the Tennis Garden provides audiences with luxury and
convenience. “Not only is the Tennis Garden an aesthetic dream,”
Funk says, “from a practical perspective it provides creature
comforts for our artists and guests, including a functioning box

Spyder-like appearance from above and Jaguar F-Type rear end put the
NSX in contention for very classy lookalike honors—which is not to
say that the NSX is a copycat.
Its wider base and taller stance will produce better handling and
control. Acura put a team together for the new iteration of the NSX
that included many designers from the early team, but they went back
to the drawing board when it came to the technology. The
advancements in the past decade in auto making served the team well.
The chassis consists of an aluminum space frame, carbon fiber and
ultra-high-strength steel. The powertrain includes three electric
motors along with a twin-turbocharged gas engine. The combined
electric-gas hybrid technology should mean acceleration more akin to
the space shuttle than the airport shuttle. Two electric motors
mounted on the front will provide acceleration while a single electric
motor on the rear axle makes full-electric mode possible. The NSX
labels this the “quiet mode” and expects speeds up to 50 mph
operating in quiet.
The twin-turbocharged V-6 is not a revamped VTEC, as was the
case in some “sports cars” in previous years. The design team innovated
and put a longitudinally mounted six-cylinder engine into the NSX to
compete at the highest levels. Acura paired the V-6 with a nine-speed,
dual-clutch automatic transmission.

luxuryAutos
“Changing the powertrain design and
layout was not an easy task,” says Ted Klaus,
Acura chief designer. “Frankly, it was like
undergoing a heart transplant while
running a marathon.”
The result: a supercar with more than
550 horsepower according to an Acura
spokesperson. That kind of horsepower
and a curb weight estimated at around
3,600 pounds creates a very fast car. Acura
estimates the 0-60 mph time to be around
three seconds. That’s nothing if not
supercar performance.
The original NSX put the luxury
sports car market into a tailspin when it
launched with an interior that non-racing
enthusiasts liked. The layman-friendly
interior was an instant hit and forced even
the Italian giants to rethink how they cater
to everyday drivers. The new NSX is no
different.
A touch-panel screen mounts solidly
above the controls. It is quite similar to the
Honda Civic profile, though its brain and
logic have yet to be tested by the general
public. The thin windshield pillars provide
visibility that accentuates the road rather
than hides it. This feature was also
prevalent in the original and is an indicator
66
that the design team worked to keep the
best of the legacy of the NSX.
Leather and stitching hold the interior
to the highest standard, and nothing is left
out of the functional interior. This is the
beast you can drive to work and to the
racetrack. The two-seater coupe comes
with an optional carbon-fiber roof, adding a
tinge of “over the top” to the already
aggressive looks.
From the rear, the NSX poses like a
sentinel. Broad shoulders around the rear
aluminum panels flex the muscles hiding
behind the rear glass. A trio of air
extractors surround a center exhaust port
outlined in chrome, and a thin line of brake
lights is a simple touch in an otherwise
complex design built for speed.
Acura says the retail price is expected
to be around $150,000. With the power of
a car twice its price and the functionality of
a luxury sedan, you’ll do well to put an
NSX in the garage.

T
his is not a myth. The architects of major retail
establishments have always designed specialty and
department stores with the gentlemen’s quarters, from
casual to active sportswear to business attire and
formalwear and all the accouterments, on the first floor with
entrances and exits directly to the street and within view. This is
done for a quick get in, get out. Why? Men are not like women.
Shopping is a necessity, not a delicious, tempting, gratifying
pastime. For women, the more time spent within the hallowed
halls of fashion the better. Full disclosure: We agree. Men couldn’t
care less about what is trending in the fashion world in golf apparel.
Women couldn’t care more about a trending death in their closet in
any category of fashion—most women anyway.
Women typically do not toss, consign or donate anything just in
case it comes back into fashion favor—and it often does. Right now,
in the 2015 Spring/Summer collections of active sportswear, we’re
seeing the trickle-down theory of looks from the ’60s and ’70s in
leading global designer lines for ready-to-wear collections. We may
not be seeing those decades revived in all their glory—fringe, flared
pants, ruffled shirts and pop-art prints—yet it’s not a stretch to see a
few influences of those times in golf apparel. Fashion designer
Jamie Sadock applies her mantra, “corrosion of conformity,” to the
collection she designs for J MEN with an artist’s sensibility and
imaginative flair of the era without the fervid flamboyance.
Realism prevails. Whew. That was close.
The J MEN by Jamie Sadock collection of golf sportswear,
introduced in 2012, is rack upon rack of well-tailored pants,
Bermuda shorts, favorite polo shirts and tees that bridge the gap
between active and off-duty, technologically-advanced sportswear
with body-active performance features, bold prints, graphics,
patterns and hues that are a cut above the traditional. For this
season’s comfort factor, all shirts are short-sleeved and almost all
have a fold-over collar to help prevent sunburned necks. Each shirt
will have either a button or a zip placket. “We put a lot of sophisticated design at the neckline, as well as in
the body of the shirt, whether it's a touch of color or an interesting
print technique,” says Sadock, who approaches her sketchpad with
the encouragement of her female clientele. Modern? Yes, and both elegant and sophisticated in style. Yet
the clothing is designed for men with the distinct appeal of comicbook superheroes they remember from an earlier time, a nostalgic
boyhood, perhaps. It’s designed for those who have a mission to
take on challenges, spread good in the world, to vanquish dastardly
villains, with strokes as sharp as cartoon lightning bolts on the
fairways, well-strategized to finish with victory in the cup. Captain
America is never caught in a bunker not knowing a way out.
J MEN by Jamie Sadock blurs the lines between hitting the
greens and hitting the club afterward without losing a beat, and it’s
tailored for the desert heat that can reach triple digits in summer
months. All fabrics are polyester-based performance fabrics called
Coolmax, offering moisture wicking that evaporates quickly as
well as antibacterial properties. The collection of shirts is offered in
different textures for personal preference, textures from piques to
other knit patterns. Some have spandex, which provides the
optimal freedom of movement for powering up every stroke as
needed for performance under stress, whether the golfer is a
weekend duffer or a tournament pro with majors under his belt.
Every shirt’s fabric is also embedded, or woven-through, with
UPF 30 (ultraviolet protection factor), which blocks up to 96
percent of the sun’s rays, considered "very good" by the UPF rating
system.
All sportswear is also machine wash on cold, tumble dry
low. Sadock obviously understands the lifestyle of a golfer, which is
play a round of golf and wash the shirt. “Active men need clothing
that works well within this lifestyle,” she says. “We bring this into
account when we design the collection. For the fabrics, we don't
want them to be extremely high maintenance with dry-clean-only
restrictions; we source fabrics that are easy to handle for this golfer
lifestyle, that are machine washable.”
J MEN by Jamie Sadock is a whole new ball game for men and
for the sport. It is the perfect follow-through to Saddock’s Actif
multisport performance/lifestyle apparel line for women. In fact,
women are filling in their husband’s golf wardrobe for them,
turning them into “Jamie Junkies,” says the company. This
innovative line works from the first tee to the end of the 19th hole.
It’s also stylish, technologically advanced, sophisticated and easy to
care for. A man doesn’t have to like shopping to appreciate that!

Roberto Coin
fineJewelry
S
pringtime conjures images of
fragrant f loral bouquets, dense
colorful gardens and a warm sun
overhead. It’s a time for both
reflection and rejuvenation, with sensory
surprises that envelope our collective
soul like a fresh breeze.
Italian designer Roberto Coin
captures the essence of the season in a set
of three coordinating pieces from the Art
Nouveau collection. An homage to
spring, Roberto Coin creations have been
described as the “embodiment of joie de
vivre,” and a “passionate tribute to the joy
of life and to the beauty and elegance of
femininity.” Coin’s traditional loyalty to
gold as the basis for all of his designs is
balanced by experimentation with gems
and diamonds to create different
applications of light, color and shape.
The Art Nouveau Diamond Necklace
features a pink tourmaline stone as the
centerpiece of a delicate f lower,
surrounded by a border of light and dark
pink sapphires with petals of round white
diamonds. A double strand of 18K rosegold petite flowerettes wrapped around
pink sapphires on a 16-inch gold chain
rests elegantly on the décolletage,
announcing that spring has sprung
without overpowering the wearer or her
audience. The $9,000 decoration weighs
.29 carats.
The Roberto Coin Art Nouveau
Diamond Bracelet offers a slight variation
on the floral and gold patterning. Eight
f lowers, each with eight diamondencrusted petals, contain a pinktourmaline center surrounded by one
row of alternating light and dark pink
sapphires. Each flower is separated by a
round, 18K rose-gold ring of equal
circumference. The trademark Roberto
Coin ruby signature is covertly
positioned in the center of the link that
connects to the bracelet’s clasp. The wrist
adornment measures just under eight
inches, has .30 total carat weight (tcw)
and is available for $7,760.
Part three of the floral triad is the Art
Nouveau Medium Diamond Ring,
designed with one dominant, domeshaped,
deep
pink
tourmaline
surrounded by two rows of light and pink
sapphires, forming the center of a bold
blossom. The downward-curved petals
emanate outward and alternate in length
to accommodate three diamonds. The
18K rose-gold band hides the ruby inside,
next to the inscription of “R.C.” This
richly colored sparkler measures just
under an inch in diameter, has a total
weight of .53 carats and is priced at
$6,100.
For a slightly more dramatic
expression of spring, Roberto Coin’s
Fantasia Flower Ring is a strong yet
restrained composition of 18K rose gold
set with a pleasing palette of .12 tcw
diamonds, amethyst, pink tourmaline and
violet sapphire stones. This powerful
little explosion of energy is 1.25 inches
wide and will slide onto your finger (or
into your wall safe) for $13,800.
The style police usually issue a
citation for over-zealous matching—
unless the pieces are understated enough
to effectively harmonize. Roberto Coin’s
Martellato Flower Diamond Necklace
and Flower Diamond Bangle can easily be
worn together without offending
anyone’s sense of style. In both, 18K
yellow gold is crafted into a hammered
finish with sweet white-diamond flower
accents (1.75 tcw for the necklace and
1.22 tcw for the bangle). The 17-inch
necklace is $9,100, the half-inch-wide
bangle is $9,720.
Celebration of spring and a revival of
spirit are also found in the floral motifs of
Buccellati, established in Milan, Italy, in
1919 by Mario Buccellati and continued
by his son, Gianmaria, and grandson,
Andrea. Now in its fourth generation, the
jewelry house is known for the
perfectionism of its artisans, many of
them experienced goldsmiths.
The house’s ornate, hand-engraved
detailing and treatment give every piece a
trademark satin or linen sheen. Several
pieces showcase Buccellati’s jeweled
plumes and are ready to accessorize a
cocktail dress or tailored blazer just in
time for high-season fundraisers.
Buccellati’s
Tri-Colored
Gold
Magnolia Flower Brooch has five textured
18K white-gold petals surrounding the
18K yellow and rose-gold pistil and
stamen on a hand-carved yellow-gold
center. The brooch is priced at $11,200.
The coordinating 18K Tri-Colored
Gold Magnolia Petal Earclips for $7,000
are hard to resist, and they complement
the brooch perfectly.
Buccellati’s Emerald and Diamond
Foliate Leaf Necklace is befitting
Persephone herself (the Greek goddess of
spring’s bounty). This uber-accessory is a
striking contrast of color and texture with
rose-cut diamonds shaped into leafy
panels, each accented by five cabochoncut emerald f lorets mounted in 18K
yellow gold. Confidently circling the
neck, the emeralds weigh 22 total carats
and the diamonds weigh 14 total carats.
This serious little treasure is valued at
$75,000.
Just as the theme in the 1911 classic
novel The Secret Garden reinforces the
healing power inherent in living things,
growing your own coveted collection of
Roberto Coin and Buccellati botanic
jewelry may be the ideal way to cultivate
your greenhouse of springtime hope and
promise.
