Pade • pade@dgnt.com When we decided to change our title last season from Desert Golf Magazine to Desert Golf & Tennis after 17 years as the leading regional golf publication in the nation, we hoped that the response would be positive. After just a few short months, that’s exactly what it has been. The emails and responses from our readers and support from our advertisers have been overwhelmingly positive. We thank everyone for the kind words and support, and we especially thank our advertisers who help us keep this publication going. We begin this new season featuring some of the best public golf courses in the country, which are right in our backyard. On the cover is one of them, the excellent Classic Club, former host course of the Bob Hope Classic, home of the Berger Foundation and one of the most philanthropic facilities in the country. The Berger Foundation donates the golf course to numerous charities throughout the year, raising tens of thousands of dollars for worthy programs. Read more about Classic Club starting on pg. 12. One of the huge contentions throughout the country is the concept of celebrity tournaments. Many of our desert events no longer include celebrities in the field. Imagine if Bob Hope had not been in the field of the PGA tournament that he made into a legendary event. Would it have possibly been the same? Over the last 50 years, celebrities have been invited to participate in tournaments to help bring attention to the events, draw patrons to the galleries and attract the legions of stargazers to attend and participate. No longer. Celebrities are not invited to play in the Humana Challenge, the Kraft Nabisco or many other tournaments. According to sources in the PGA Tour, “celebrities simply cost too much.” The accommodations they require, the swag, even the food they consume has gotten to be an expense the Tour no longer wants. “The spots in our field need to be paid for. In order to be successful in today’s economy, we can no longer simply give those spots away to anyone.” So the legendary entertainers and superstar athletes that once brought star quality to the desert fairways are gone. Will the crowds of fans who paid to be in the galleries to watch their favorite movie and rock stars play on some of the finest golf courses in the country be gone too? Hopefully this decision will not bring an end to Tour events in the desert. Founded by legendary entertainer Dinah Shore in 1972, The Kraft Nabisco Championship hosted some of the most famous names in entertainment and sports. It was marketing brilliance to have the world’s most famous faces in the field and Dinah Shore lent her name, likeness and relationships to propel this event into becoming the first major each season on the LPGA Tour. As of this issue, the LPGA still has not found a sponsor to replace Kraft Nabisco, and an event that glittered for more than 42 years is now in jeopardy of being lost entirely. In 2015, the LPGA and IMG, an entertainment and media agency, will carry the costs of the tournament. After that, who knows? Sad, really sad.

Now Open By Christine Loomis Oncover C lassic Club is special among Coachella Valley golf clubs. From its golf course to its restaurant to its overall culture and ambience, Classic Club stands out. Even its history sets it apart. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer to serve as host site for the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (later renamed the Humana Challenge). Classic Club was gifted by a charitable organization to the tournament, which became the only PGA Tour tournament to own its own facility. After 2008, the course moved off the Bob Hope rotation, but its design, reputation and management have kept it high on the must-play list for locals and visitors. “The Classic Club is special for several reasons,” says Greg Rubino, general manager, “but the most important aspect is that we hold the facility for charitable purposes, which allows us to help hundreds of charities a year raise money for their worthy causes.” The course is now a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, increasing its appeal. Keith Einwag, director of agronomy (soil science) at Classic Club, says the certification process involves six steps/elements: environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation, water quality management, and local outreach and DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 13 Oncover education. Classic Club meets or exceeds all of the requirements, and it’s also a terrific golf course on which to play. “The course design is straightforward and fun to play at any level, from the beginner to the professional golfer,” Einwag says. “The best part of playing golf at Classic Club is that from your first step out of your car you never feel like you are in the desert. The course has water in play on 13 holes and the landscape includes olive and oak trees along with three different varieties of pines—you will not find any cactus or palm trees.” Although the wind has sometimes been pointed to as a problem for players, Rubino says much of that talk comes from rumor rather than fact. Yes, the wind does blow through the valley as it does through most valleys. However, Rubino notes, “If it were windy every day then we would not sell out every single day during the season.” And sell out is exactly what Classic Club does because it’s just that good. Making it even better is a customercentric focus that comes from Troon Golf, which manages the club, and from onsite managers who implement and instill a culture of good service. Ruan Krugel, director of food and beverage, says that he often hears about places focusing on customers but rarely sees it in practice. “At Classic Club, it is something we live by.” In spite of its name this is not a private facility, though first-time guests may well 14 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 think it is. Krugel points to Troon’s famous “member for a day” mentality, which reflects the organization’s core belief that customers at public golf courses should be viewed as members and treated the same way that members of private clubs are treated by their facilities. In other words, a day at Classic Club should equate to a private-club experience. Krugel says that as general manager, Rubino has added to that with his own mantra: “If it is good for our guest, good for business and in the best interest of our owners, no matter what it is, do it!” The result is a team of associates empowered to do whatever it takes to make guests happy. “We often joke that we will do anything as long as it is not illegal,” Krugel says. “We will create special items, special menus or host events anywhere that is feasible to make our clients and guests happy. Overarching all of this, and furthering our level of buy-in, our ownership has created an atmosphere in which we offer only the best items and highest-quality ingredients at a cost that is always below that of the market. That sets us apart from any other establishment. There are many fine Oncover restaurants that can say that they also offer the best ingredients, but they could not do so at our value. “I can think of many examples to illustrate this, but by far the greatest would be our wine program. We offer world-class wines, often at pricing lower than would be available to consumers purchasing the wines directly from the winery. For example, we sell Caymus Special Selection for $125 a bottle. The winery sells it for $130.” In addition to its phenomenal wine program, Bellatrix, Classic Club’s stellar restaurant, has a chef and menu that have set a high standard—not just among public-golf-course facilities but among any of the Coachella Valley’s fine-dining restaurants. Chef Gerard Brunett has created a menu that changes seasonally and focuses on locally grown produce and high-quality meats. “Our fish is delivered daily and sourced from both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,” Brunett says. “We serve a variety of continental cuisine with Mediterranean and Asian influences. Examples include our Korean short ribs with hoi sin coleslaw and chicken cavatappi with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and asparagus.” Chef Brunett likes to combine unlikely flavor combinations in order to produce uniquely flavored dishes, and the menu showcases that. “Roasted butternut squash, sage and goat-cheese flatbread, and our White Marble Farms pork loin with raspberry jam and wilted arugula are a couple of examples,” he says. Every dish served at Bellatrix is created with flavor combinations, freshness, texture and simple but elegant presentations in mind. Of course, the chef has his favorites and that may help first-timers decide what to order. “The Moroccan spiced grouper is one of my favorites,” he says. “It blends unique spices that have a touch of heat and are complemented by the sweetness of a roasted yellow-pepper coulis along with a crisp potato cake that adds a nice crunchy texture to the dish.” The food and wine are just one part of Classic Club’s overall excellence. “We are fortunate enough to have a business model that allows us to cultivate a following and loyal supporters versus attempting to make as much money in the shortest amount of time and off the fewest number of visitors,” Krugel says. “While this might seem like a foreign concept in this day and age, in the long term I believe this will pay off and set us even more firmly apart.” _________________________________________ Christine Loomis is a staff writer and editor with Desert Golf & Tennis DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 15 By Chris Lewis • Photos by Luigi Serra spotlight F or years, Catherine “CiCi” Bellis had dreamed of this moment. Whether she was watching Maria Sharapova for the first time on television or committing herself to tennis rather than soccer, she often envisioned herself playing in the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. As she entered Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, this year and walked towards Court No. 6, her dreams were about to come true. Years of hard work, along with the support of her loving parents, had prepared the Atherton, California, native for the challenge that awaited her: a first-round match against world No. 13 Dominika Cibulkova, who had finished runner-up at this year’s Australian Open. Bellis, just 15 years old, ranked 1,208 in the world. How could she possibly defeat the 25-year-old veteran? To those who had not observed Bellis’s play in recent months, the odds did not appear to stack in her favor. However, for the most avid of tennis fans, she seemingly had the talent to compete. After all, on August 9 she defeated Tornado Alicia Black 6-3, 6-1 to become the youngest winner of the USTA Girls 18s’ National Championship since 1991. With the win, she not only rose to No. 2 in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior rankings, but also earned a wild card to the U.S. Open. Because of this victory, the prodigy, a winner of four ITF junior singles titles this summer alone, had an opportunity to display her skills to a national audience that, for the most part, had never even heard of her. She took full advantage of her opportunity. Bellis began her first set as if she were truly on a mission, winning 6-1. After her momentum stalled during the second set, which she lost 4-6, she recovered, demonstrating the tenacity that helped her acquire a 34-4 record in international junior competition this summer. She won the third set 6-4 to complete what was arguably the greatest upset of this year’s U.S. Open. “Anybody can beat anybody on any given day,” she said shortly after her historic win. “Ranking has no bearing on the match. Whoever comes out and plays better that day is going to win.” Still, no one could deny the significance of the performance, not even Bellis herself. Prior to her win, a 15-year-old female had not captured a U.S. Open match since 1996, when Russia’s Anna Kournikova shocked the world. Moreover, no American girl that age or younger had won a U.S. Open match in 28 years. Suddenly, Bellis was one of the main topics of the championship and a fan favorite, drawing nearly 38,000 spectators for her secondround match against world No. 48 Zarina Diyas. Held on Court No. 17,the match did not begin as Bellis had intended, resulting in a 6-3 loss in the first set. But once again she rallied to overcome the odds, winning the second set 6-0, as well as the first game of the third set. Unfortunately for Bellis and her newfound fan base, her winning streak did not continue; she ultimately lost the third set 6-2. Despite the disappointment, she chose to evaluate only the positives of her performances. “What surprised me is that I could really play with these pros,” she stated after the defeat. “I think if I had played a little better, it would have been a different result. This [championship] game me a lot more confidence.” As Bellis prepares for the future, she is determined to work even harder to achieve her goals and return to the national spotlight, which she clearly relished. “I love it when people watch me. It gives me more energy and makes me play better,” she says. She remains grounded and resolved in spite of the losses, and there’s no doubt that she fully comprehends the potential she has to become a successful tennis professional. “I’m definitely going to [retain my] amateur [status] right now to keep my options open for college. But I’d love to be a pro one day,” she says. “People have been saying I’m going to be the future of American tennis—that’s what I’ve wanted since I was a little kid. It makes me want to work really hard and try to become that.” ________________________________________________ Chris Lewis is a contributing writer to Desert Golf & Tennis DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 17 By Françoise Rhodes Patrick Evans, John White, Gino Lamont, Kris Long T he Anchor Challenge has created quite a buzz, including major trash talking, bragging rights and unusual camaraderie between four television newsmen with four completely different golf games. The Challenge was designed to encourage locals to attend the Humana Challenge and root for one of the three anchors participating in the tournament: Gino LaMont, Kris Long and John White. The goal for the anchors is to win the amateur tournament or, at least, to have the lowest team score of the three. Bragging rights are on the line, but more important, Humana donates $10,000 to the winning reporter’s charity of choice. To date, LaMont has won twice and Long and White once each. The Humana Challenge is just one of many charity tournaments this golfing group supports. Ask and they will be there, bringing with them crowd-pleasing wit and a keen awareness that they are participating to help those in need. Rounding out the celebrity-circuit foursome is Patrick Evans. In all fairness, Evans (admittedly) is the most golf-challenged of the group and he doesn’t participate in the Humana, yet he never misses the opportunity to play with others in the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Tournament, the Patrick Warburton event and a plethora of other charity golf tournaments that happen annually in the Coachella Valley. Having played together in and out of tournaments for about 12 years, a solid and often hilarious friendship has formed. As many laughs as this group has, however, there is also serious competition going on. Desert Golf & Tennis asked the newsmen/philanthropists about themselves, each other and their golf, and a few things were immediately clear. First, they all respect each other professionally. 18 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 They also don’t play golf together as much as they would like. And when asked about Evans’ game, they were bemused and uncertain how best to describe it.

LaMont’s game: “All or nothing.” Long’s game: “Steady as she goes, just like you would expect from the more mature player. He’s very good around the greens with his chipping and putting.” White’s game: “About the same erratic game as mine.” Best round: 69 at Landmark Golf Course, back tees, Hemet, California. Evans’ game: “Patrick doesn’t play golf. I don’t know what he is doing out there, but at no level is that golf.” Description of his own game: “Too short. I’m the only lefty in the group. I don’t want to brag but none of these guys has ever beaten me yet!” Ultimate foursome: Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton and H.W. Bush.

Getting to play with PGA Tour pros is as good as it gets.” Most embarrassing golf experience: “When I was 26 or 27, I was in a bunker and hit a terrible shot. I lost my temper and hurled my sand wedge, which went like a rotor on a helicopter out of the bunker. One of my buddies was there and luckily, he jumped right over it—it could have decapitated the guy.” Dream course yet to play: Augusta National LaMont’s game: “Has tremendous potential if he did not become a father almost at the same time he became an octogenarian. Longest in the group when he hits it well, however he’s a little directionally challenged.” White’s game: “Very roller coaster. He can go a few months where he improves and then he seems to fall back into his old habits. We never let John score because he has to write down so much stuff, I swear he even writes down the wind condition.” Evans’ game: “It always starts with a Bloody Mary. The beauty of Patrick’s game is he knows his limitations and it doesn’t keep him from firing off joke after joke and pun after pun. He has a great time despite his game.” Ultimate foursome: My dad Howard, father-in-law Omar, Arnold Palmer _______________________________ Francoise Rhodes is astaff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis Evans’ game: “He has the biggest swing that you can still take inside a phone booth.” Ultimate foursome: Arnold Palmer, John Daly, Payne Stewart GINO LAMONT Position:evening anchor-reporter at KMIR 6 Family: Wife Sandra, daughter Parker, son Hudson Golf stats: Playing since 1997, handicap 18 vMost exciting golf experience: “It was the first Anchor Challenge and the pro I was playing with went out birdie, birdie, eagle on 18, which shot me from last place to first.” Most embarrassing golf experience: “I was teeing off at the old Lexus tournament, playing with Matt Lauer, a scratch golfer.

First, you would think it is less expensive because we have free-draining sand. Mmmm, well, not exactly. It is actually more expensive. Why? Because we have to create or bring in pretty much everything. Many desert courses start on a site that is pan flat—ideal for growing potatoes but less so for creating an interesting golf course. Invariably, real estate is involved, which adds another dynamic with regard to the design. The golf course has to be designed so that the homes capitalize on the views and integrate into the ambience and scenery of the course. The key to success is designing a balanced golf course that has interest, personality and playability. It’s therefore important that the course architect work closely from the start with the planning consultant. On flat sites, the golf course is typically dropped and the home lots are raised so houses can be positioned to take advantage of the golf-course views. With all these projects, no dirt is imported nor does it leave the site; the grading is calculated to balance perfectly. The designer generally starts with a flat site with no meaningful vegetation. Given the above comments, the trick is to create interest and holes with individuality through careful earth movement and grading. At the same time, the designer must develop features that add cosmetics and personality but that stay within the bounds such that the course has playability. Features are created in many different forms and guises. For instance, wild and colorful flowers can be a real eye pleaser. But beware the architect who goes overboard as maintenance of this particular feature can be expensive. Wildflowers need irrigation DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 21 courseDesign assessing the break of their putt on this large 9,000-square-foot green are ever aware that Highway 111, the main thoroughfare through the Coachella Valley, is actually within about 50 yards of where they are putting. Judicious mounding also plays a large part in deadening the sound of the I-10 Freeway at the southern end of Eagle Falls Golf Club at Fantasy Springs Casino. In addition to mounding, shrubs and trees play an important part in increasing the vertical dynamic of what might otherwise be a f lat and uninteresting desert layout. The private course I designed at The Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta is a perfect example of this. Several thousand colorful shrubs help to artistically break up the wildf lower landscape, and the addition of stone pine and the appropriate use of palm trees around the water features (which exist on 15 of the holes) help to create a great variety of both texture and color. The Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Resort and are prone to replacement. Moreover, a small army of greenskeepers is required to do the weeding. In my desert designs, such as those at The Hideaway in La Quinta, The Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Resort and Eagle Falls at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, I like to use bunkers for multiple reasons including to determine strategic play and provide options. But I also use them to form part of the cosmetics and to create useful turning points for the dog-leg holes. I prefer to have fairway bunkers that are shallower so players can be aggressive. If a player hits a good shot from the sand, he can cover a fair amount of distance. On many occasions, these fairway bunkers will allow the spirited golfer to escape with a shot of 130 to 200 yards. I tend to make greenside bunkers a little deeper as they add drama. In fairness, the golfer will be using a wedge of 54 to 60 degree. In fact, Phil Mickelson invariably uses a 64-degree wedge, which I’m sure the late golf writer Herbert Warren Wind would have declared more suitable for an early-morning shave. Other favorite features of a desert golf course are streams, babbling brooks, splitlevel lakes and waterfalls. These can add greatly to the ambience if well constructed and they give golfers the feeling of being out in nature. Hearing the water is beneficial, too. The sound of running water is appealing. But creating running water also provides an ideal opportunity for the 22 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 The Hideaway Golf Club designer to work with mounding, which can be important in two ways if a green lies near a main road. First, a series of waterfalls can screen the road and traffic visually. Second, waterfalls can help deaden the sound of somebody blasting his new Corvette at full ‘tonk.’ This type of feature appears on the par5 14th hole on The Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Resort. Very few golfers For all of these reasons, it’s easy to understand why constructing a golf course on an empty flat desert site can be far more expensive than creating one in the lavish landscapes of the Eastern Seaboard. _______________________________ Clive Clark is a sought-after golf course architect, former Ryder Cup player and a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis By Matt McKay A ll right, so the Southwestern United States is embroiled in an historic drought. But you like your golf played on grass. What’s an industry to do? Quite a bit, actually. In fact, the golf industry’s efforts to conserve water, develop strains of turf grass that require less irrigation, allow more natural areas to come into play, and outright eliminate of yards and yards of turf have been ongoing for several years, even decades on the USGA level. All those techniques, and all those good practices, have served the industry well during these days of difficulty. And, as it turns out, there’s even something the rank-and-file golfer can do to help. Some areas have been less affected by the drought than others. For example, the Coachella Valley of Southern California benefits from one of North America’s largest aquifers directly underneath a barren desert. There is obvious concern about its long-term depletion, and the state of California has moved recently to regulate underground aquifers for the first time. But the Coachella Valley is not suffering in the same way as areas that rely on snowmelt, the Colorado River or past rainfall patterns for their water. “How you’ve been affected depends on where you live,” says Craig Kessler, director of Governmental Affairs for the Southern California courseDesign Golf Association. “Ironically, the Coachella Valley is probably in best shape, despite the fact that it’s in a desert. Those that depend on rain, the Colorado River, snow pack, etcetera, have been affected in an inverse proportion. For example, if you live in Santa Cruz, which normally gets 30 inches of rain a year, and then you get in drought conditions, it’s a completely different situation than when it doesn’t rain than in the Coachella Valley, which only gets about 1.5 inches of rain a year anyway.” Fortunately, golf’s reaction has been in place for some time. For starters, golf courses have two major expenses: labor and water. So the incentive to minimize water use has always been there. However, now that a drought is actually in effect, the water conservation techniques are coming in handy. Pat Gross, Southwest regional director of the USGA’s Greens Section, says the USGA was ahead of the curve when it came to the game’s relationship with water. “The USGA has been active in this issue for more than 40 years, even back to the 1920s,” Gross says. “It’s been using updated methods of watering and determining ways to minimize pesticides for years. And it’s also been developing turf that’s more drought- and pestresistant. So this is nothing new to the USGA. We’ve even developed a USGA water-resources website, trying to educate all of our audience, from golfers to GMs, to gain a better understanding how water use affects their game and their course.” As golf courses confront what could be a dry future for some time, two conservation techniques have become more fashionable of late— and they work somewhat hand-in-hand. Kessler and Gross both credit the USGA’s golf-course set-up for the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort’s No. 2 Course for bringing back the “natural” areas adjacent to fairways, and in general letting the course turn brown and crispy on the edges. The set-up required much less water than the previous resort set-up, and also played much firmer and faster. This type of setup could help free golf-course superintendents from high member expectations. Whereas the notion of a beautiful golf course is often one of wall-to-wall lush green grass, with emerald teeing grounds and pool-table top greens, it takes a lot of water, not to mention chemical and pesticide applications, to achieve such a look. The USGA’s apparent message from the 2014 U.S. Opens was: Brown (and natural) is beautiful. “The U.S. Open set-up was marvelous for superintendents because it gave them support and political cover, and let them know that it’s all right to use less water,” says Gross. “Superintendents have long known they can use less water, but they know they’re not going to get fired because their golf course is too green. We’ve seen so many positive examples of what can be done [with less water], superintendents now have the permission to execute these ideas. They’ve always known what to do, they just haven’t had permission.” The second technique gaining favor is turf reduction, or turf buyback programs. Kessler says the only really reliable way for a course to reduce its long-term water footprint is to reduce the amount of irrigated acreage. He said the Coachella Valley was the last bastion of unrestricted turf. In 2007,regulations were put into effect to limit new golf courses to no more than 72 acres of irrigated turf. Kessler notes that the Coachella Valley Water District has commenced with a commercial turf buyback program using a rate structure designed to provide the kind of subsidies major metro water districts can provide, and such subsidies are inspiring massive turf reductions in homes and commercial businesses in the Southwest. Both men also agreed the rank-and-file player/member can also have an impact by adapting to the new reality. Just as many individuals and businesses in the region are voluntarily reducing their water consumption and, in some cases, engaging in their own turf-reduction programs, golfers must be prepared to roll with the changes and accept the firmer, faster, browner, more-natural conditions. Kessler suggests golfers can make it clear to their facilities that they don’t expect golf in the arid southwest, particularly in the summer and fall, to look like Augusta National in the spring. They can acknowledge that even if superintendents don’t overseed roughs in the winter to create a more aesthetically beautiful look, the playing surface will still be perfectly good. And they can realize that the recent U.S. Opens and the upcoming U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in Washington, are intentionally presenting a more rugged, firm and fast look and play, which is actually the way the game is played throughout much of the world. The natural presentation is part of the game’s charm. “We got into a syndrome where the golf experience became lush carpets, and lots of waterfalls and ornamental golf features that became expectations that didn’t exist 40 to 50 years ago,” Kessler says. “And I think, if you’re an average golfer, moving away from that ethic and recognizing that the new ethic is consistent with the survivability of the industry, that would be the greatest help. It would remove the pressure from superintendents, golf-course managers and even homeowner associations connected with golf courses from always doing everything maximally green, lush and landscaped.” _________________________________________________ Matt McKay is a contributing writer to Desert Golf & Tennis DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 25 By Judd Spicer Desert Willow Golf Resort PlayWorthy Classic Club T he Coachella Valley isn’t just the place where the stars shine amid the sands. Though the desert is home to several of SoCal's most celebrated private clubs and courses, the region has no lack of options for choice and diverse public play. For residents enjoying the discounts of their favorite neighborhood track, locals seeking seasonal membership opportunities and valley visitors just looking to dust off their clubs, the area presents a bounty of tee sheets available to all. And to make it easy, this issue of Desert Golf & Tennis presents a comprehensive list of Coachella Valley public courses and resorts, listed in alphabetical order, in one handy place. Read on! Classic Club (18 holes, Palm Desert) Played across the sprawling grandeur of Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary grounds, the Arnold Palmer championship design served as three-year host to the former Bob Hope Classic (2006-2008) and lives on as one of the valley's most demanding and impressive pieces of golf property. While water is abundant and distance is formidable (tipping out at 7,300 yards), the beauty of the grounds and adjoining clubhouse space keeps the track an instant classic. Desert Willow Golf Resort (36 holes, Palm Desert) Deservedly counted among the most lauded dual-course facilities in all of Southern California, Desert Willow, with its two magnificently carved courses and excellent clubhouse, is a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. Lower handicappers will revel in the challenge of forced carry (with ample visual stimuli) from the box, meaty bunkering and testy greens on the Firecliff Course, while all players will enjoy the more benign design of the Mountain View layout. Newsworthy: In late spring, it was announced that original co-designer, Dr. Michael Hurdzan, will soon return to the resort to oversee a reduction in maintained turf and non-native plants, bunker renovation and tee leveling at the Firecliff. Construction will be phased out across a three- to five-year period. DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 27 PlayWorthy Eagle Falls Eagle Falls (18 holes, Indio) The valley's lone course located directly adjacent to a casino resort property, Clive Clark's Eagle Falls layout soars as a manicured test of links-style play. Gettable in distance, the course keeps players honest with massive green structures and some testy O.B. that's not a good bet to escape without a lamented drop. Indian Wells Golf Resort (36 holes, Indian Wells) Host to The Golf Channel's “Big Break Indian Wells” in 2011 and home to a pair of exceptional courses, Indian Wells Golf Resort recently made updates to the patio, pavilion and dining space of Vue Grille & Bar, which further enhances the allure of one of the desert's most popular spots. Mid-to-high handicappers will enjoy the colorful flora and eye-catching water features across the Clive Clark-designed Celebrity Course, while single-digit players will find challenge in the deep bunkering and 7,400 yards of length on John Fought's Players Course. 28 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 Indian Wells Golf Resort PlayWorthy PGA West, TPC Stadium Course La Quinta Resort & Club and PGA West (5 courses, La Quinta) The five public plays under the umbrella ownership of “The Western Home of Golf in America” provide a potpourri of beauty and brawn. At PGA West: Both the Nicklaus Tournament Course and the Pete Dyedesigned TPC Stadium Course count among the region's most demanding plays. Each track asks for finite ball control and will prove astute tests of a player’s ability to maintain focus. For a mellower round, the Greg Norman Course matches minimal turf (and minimal housing) with the characteristic of decomposed granite routing. At La Quinta: The Dye-designed Dunes and Mountain courses present two distinct yet complementary layouts. At the Mountain Course, the back nine winds up through the Santa Rosa Mountains, castings a special spell of solitude and views. The rolling fairways of the Dunes Course evoke Scottish links. JW Marriott Desert Springs JW Marriott Desert Springs (36 holes, Palm Desert) Absorb a thorough and formidable water world drawn by the prolific King of Waterscapes, the late Ted Robinson. Both the Palm and Valley courses prove equally fun and engaging examples of resort-style play, with a host of holes that will prompt players to ponder strategy post-round at the ever-popular resort. DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 29 PlayWorthy Marriott’s Shadow Ridge Marriott’s Shadow Ridge (18 holes, Palm Desert) The debut American design from six-time Major winner Nick Faldo combines a wealth of space from the box with an ongoing array of studied approaches to sizeable putting surfaces.

SilverRock Resort (18 holes, La Quinta) Among the state's longest tracks at 7,600 yards from the tips, the breadth of this layout is nicely complemented by the artistry across the Arnold Palmer championship design. Long-ballers will delight in turn-and-burn opportunities, while players across all skill levels will need to study the shorter par 4s from the box and guarded approaches throughout. A one-time stop for the former Hope rotation (from 2008-11), SilverRock offers the dramatic Santa Rosas and sublime desert-scape among its attributes. _______________________________ Judd Spicer is a contributing writer to Desert Golf & Tennis Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort (36 holes, Palm Springs) The Golf Club at La Quinta (18 holes, La Quinta) The Golf Club at Terra Lago (36 holes, Indio) Tommy Jacobs' Bel Air Greens (Nine-hole executive, Palm Springs) Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa (36 holes, Rancho Mirage) Woodhaven C.C.

This is her report on how The First Tee has made a difference to her and to others Improve, develop or increase mental capacity by education or experience. The First Tee is definitely the epitome of improvement. The First Tee is a worldwide chain of golf schools where children young and old are taught the fundamentals of golf while also having fun and learning valuable lessons that can be applied to even the smallest things in everyday life. These programs are located at schools all around the United States, including in Palm Desert, California. They involve more than nine million participants and 17,000 volunteers located in 50 states and four international locations. The First Tee is sponsored by many popular golf organizations including the PGA, LPGA, The Masters Tour, PGA Tour and the USGA. These organizations sponsor The First Tee because they understand the mission and the importance of what this program teaches. President George W. Bush is a strong supporter of The First Tee and the honorary chairman. There are also many other individuals and companies locally and nationally that show support by donating clubs, equipment and funds so that the First Tee can provide more children with a chance to play golf. But it’s not just about golf. In addition to golf skills, First Tee staff focus on three core values: integrity, respect and honesty. There is also a code of conduct. Students must respect themselves, respect others and respect their surroundings. Golfinstruction How do these things go together with golf? One example is the value of honesty. What I learned is that you only cheat yourself by not being honest with your scores and with things in everyday life. The way golf works at the First Tee is usually based on age. There are five levels. Each level emphasizes one core value and how to apply it to your golf and your life. Instructors make the learning fun by teaching golf through a drill or activity and then recapping all instruction at the end of class to really make a mark on the kids. To move from one level to the next, students take a test. The test consists of how you use the core values, how you applied it in every aspect and your knowledge of golf and life skills. Students work hard to understand the theme of each level before moving to the next. Not everyone may feel the same, but my experience with The First Tee has been completely and utterly wonderful. The staff really makes everyone feel welcome and treats students as if they’ve known them for a long time. Most of the instructors give their time as volunteers. The coaches and volunteers are all so extremely friendly and kind and are great with students of all ages. They provide tips that will carry us through our lives and impart values we will use on and off the golf course. My favorite times are Thursdays when we’d go to a local golf facility to learn about the operations and the game while we played. I found that there is so much to learn—not only about golf, but also about myself. The First Tee is a very small, safe environment for such a big program. At the Palm Desert facility, the nine-hole executive golf course is a great place to play a quick game with friends or other students. First Tee makes the course available to everyone and provides students a chance to consider a career in golf. The larger goals of the program are to give everyone a chance to make a difference to themselves and others because the values taught also impact our families and our communities. Using golf as the tool, The First Tee has helped thousands of young people grow and learn and make a positive difference. To learn more about this organization, go to thefirsttee.org _______________________________ Jourdan Flynn’s First Tee lessons have created a desire to learn more about the game of golf and lifelong instruction about real core values. DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 33 This issue's golf instruction comes from the 18th fairway at Desert Willow's Firecliff Golf Course. The 18th is a fantastic golf hole in the Coachella Valley and requires you to hit an excellent pitch shot to this green that is guarded by water and sand traps. 34 Alignment Takeaway I like the feeling of opening up my hips and chest to the target line so I am slightly facing the target in the distance. This alignment is very similar to a greenside bunker shot but not as extreme. I will also open the clubface slightly to counter balance my slightly open body alignment. If my open is aligned at, lets say 10 degrees left, than I will want the clubface to be angled slightly open at 10 degrees. The red line represents the "target line" that extends from the flagstick back through the golf ball, while the yellow line represents my body alignment. The key to every good swing happens in that first initial move in the swing, which is called "the takeaway." I really try to feel the body doing the majority of the wok in the golf swing, especially in the takeaway. Get the swing started correctly! I try to feel my body rotation move my hands/setup position into the backswing. Since I had a slightly open stance in my setup, my takeaway is going to move the golf club back along my toe line, which will create a little out-in swing path. A good check point for me is when the shaft is level to the ground; it should be directly on top of my toe line with my chest facing my hands. DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 Golfinstruction Setting the Club Round Off Your Finish Once I have made a good takeaway through my body rotation, moving the golf club directly back on top of the toe line, I need to set the golf club so the shaft is angled directly to the golf ball. This is a very important part of the golf swing. If I don't set the club correctly, it will make a negative impact on the impact of the golf ball. Notice in the photo how I keep my left arm low so it remains lower than level to the ground, requiring the cocking of the wrist to set the club. One major swing flaw I often see in golfers is the lifting of the left arm at this point, which in turn doesn't allow for the cocking of the wrist. Anytime the arms lift in the backswing, the shaft will get steep and create too steep of an angle of attack into the golf ball. The key to executing great pitch shots is to round off your finish. The majority of miss-hit wedge shots are due to golfers hanging back on their right side through impact. To execute a crisp wedge shot, I start by getting my weight posted into my left side in the forward swing. You can see in the photo how I have the majority of my weight "posting up" on top of my left foot. With the left leg serving as a "post," I try to rotate deep into my left side so my hands and golf club move through the ball on a shallow arc, therefore making it easier to control my divot depth by maintaining the angles in my hands. This is a new term in golf instruction called "holding off the shot," or in other words, not releasing the hands through impact. This is a technique that is commonly used in chipping or in sand shots; however, with greater body rotation it is now applicable to wedges from the fairway as well. I hope you enjoy practicing hitting better wedge shots from the fairway. _________________________________________________________ Rob Stanger, Director of Golf Instruction at Alpine Country Club, coaches on the PGA and the LPGA Tours.

What about overextended family finances and conspicuous consumption? Are they, too, becoming a thing of the past? Enter the Tiny House movement. Getting international attention on CNN, Guardian, Huffington Post, NBC, Oprah and PBS, the Tiny House movement may be more than just a brief trend What is a Tiny House? Ranging in size from an efficient 160 square feet to a spacious 500 square feet, Tiny Houses are something of a social movement, one where people are downsizing the space that they live in. The goal of living in one, advocates say, is a simpler life, being out of debt, living within your means and enjoying your job. People are joining this movement for many reasons. For some it is a reality of the recent housing recession. For others it’s about financial or even environmental concerns. But for many, it’s a means to finding more time and freedom in life. Whatever the reasons, it is a growing movement. Most Americans with an average home of 2,600 square feet have to dedicate one third to one half of their income just to keep a roof over their heads. This translates to 15 years of working over a lifetime just to pay for it. Because of that, 76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Is there an alternative? One solution might be to live smaller. While Tiny Houses may not be for everyone, there are lessons to be learned and applied to escape the cycle of debt that so many Americans are trapped in. Who are the Tiny Homers? Only 29.9% of traditional homeowners in the United States own their homes compared to 68% of Tiny House owners who own their home outright! Two out of five Tiny House owners are 50 and older, spend more time with their families, take more vacations and are more educated than the average American homebuyer. Tiny House owners have chosen to live a life that does not include being a slave to house maintenance or a house payment. Could a Tiny Home work for you? Tiny Houses are created with environmental care and attention to space Dr. Robert G.

According to the National Home Builders Association, the average size of an American single-family home ballooned 140 percent in the past 60 years, from 983 square feet in 1950 to a monstrous 2,679 square feet, the largest ever, in 2013. The graph below, from the American Enterprise Institute and based on data from the U.S. Census, plots the size of American homes against the size of its households from 1973 to 2013. The size of the average American house has grown consistently, even as the average U.S. household size has decreased. and the use of space. Bigger homes have bigger payments, larger tax bills, more maintenance and more of your hard-earned time and money sunk into four walls, a kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. These tiny homes come in all shapes, sizes and forms but they all have one focus in common: smaller spaces and simplified living. Some are sparse and efficient, created from repurposed cargo containers with multi-purposed amenities that keep costs and space requirements small, while others boast chandeliers and gilded ceilings, gold-plated faucets and the latest in high-tech gadgets. Thousands of tiny homes are popping up all across the country, located in backyards, recreational vehicle parks and illegally on privately owned land. Now that the Tiny House movement has gained popularity and the trend shows no sign of fading, advocates have turned to developing Tiny House communities. They're trying to change zoning laws to make it easier for Tiny House owners to live legally. Tiny-home enthusiasts have been working around zoning laws and insurance struggles for nearly two decades. To circumvent the laws, the homes are built on trailers usually about eight feet by 20 feet, which allows cities and insurance companies to consider the homes as RVs. But that's not a perfect solution because many urban areas and cities don't allow camping on city lots, even in a backyard, and RV parks limit how long a person can stay. Some metropolitan areas are more welcoming to these tiny homes than others. Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, are known as "tiny-house friendly" urban areas, though zoning laws still prevent these homes on permanent foundations from being the primary unit on a lot. Many of these houses are placed illegally, but they are left alone until someone objects. In most towns, tiny homes are in a legal gray area, and unless someone complains, they're usually left alone. The trouble for many owners is simply the idea of living illegally. Because of their size and low costs, tiny homes are also being constructed in urban areas as a solution for the chronically homeless and for their space and cost savings. The movement has increasingly become the interest of affordable-housing advocates. Many advocates hope that the Tiny House movement will help solve the affordable housing crisis and provide an alternative to stigmatized trailer parks and low-income housing. Many believe that Americans' desires to downsize and leave cities for more affordable living won't go away. That's why, many say these small homes are here to stay, and it could be one way that some small towns and cities can put life and commerce back into their communities. Owners of tiny homes aren't spending money on their mortgages, so they have more discretionary cash to spend on other things. 40 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 Movement or Trend? Although the Tiny House movement has picked up some impressive momentum over the past few years, statistics still show that we American homeowners want our space. We want our homes to reflect our lives, to entertain and to be the social hub of our lives. But there is still a lot we can learn from this Tiny House movement: lessons of efficient planning and use of space, integrating technology and living within our means. And maybe, just maybe, being more content with less. It’s still ok to want our dream home, but perhaps we need to think more about our real dreams. If we don’t have to worry about making a house payment, we can spend more time with our families and friends and have more freedom to explore our world and actually pursue our dreams. Maybe tiny homes are both a movement and a trend. ________________________________________________ Jenell Fontes is a contributor to Desert Golf & Tennis and a premier luxury agent with Windermere Real Estate BRE#01833698.

BMW has broken the mold and challenged all assumptions regarding what a sports car can and ought to be. The BMW i8 takes on all comers in a hybrid cage match made for a Vegas promoter. It’s sexy, powerful and loaded, and at 94 mpg, you’ll feel great about driving it every day. You’ll look great driving it as well, turning heads because it’s impossible not to stare at this inspiring design. The Lamborghini-like scissor doors only add to the feeling that you’re driving something very special. You won’t be mistaken for driving a 5-series Bimmer in the i8. This is new. In fact, BMW put design controls into the hands of an entirely new division in its Bavarian headquarters. Nothing about the i8 says, “I’m a cousin of the M Drive.” The values of the I Division seem to rank sustainability heavily along with innovation. The feeling you get when you lift the cover on the i8 is inspiring. Aluminum chassis, bolts (instead of steel) and wiring (instead of copper) help make the i8 a lightweight in the luxury sports-car division. At a curb weight of just over 3,200 lbs., it’s comparable to most coupes. Granted, the backseat of the i8 is probably better for storing your sunglasses than your kids, but the wheelbase on the i8 is long like a sedan. BMW took pains to use special glass in the rear window and ductwork in the heating/cooling system to save weight, ideas that may set the trend for decades to come. Not to mention that sitting in the i8 may send you immediately into the future of car making. In summary, the Tesla Model S is probably the closest competition and it weighs in at 4,600 pounds. Lucky for BMW that these two aren’t in a boxing match. Don’t misunderstand; there are plenty of features that make the i8 a BMW to the core. The grill features the kidney shape that has defined BMW forever.

You may want to do some stretching before entering or exiting the wing-style doors, but even just putting those doors up and gazing at the i8 is too much fun to miss.

The 1.5-liter, three-cylinder gas engine is a directinjected, turbo-charged powerhouse. It’s the Sugar Ray Leonard of the motor world. With 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, this little engine absolutely can and does pack a punch. The left hook that is the combustion engine is followed by a right-hand electric motor. The electric motor produces 129 horsepower (96 kilowatts) and 184 pound-feet of torque. Together, the two generate 362 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. This output gets a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds according to BMW. A quartermile is covered in just over 12 seconds. These are true sports-car numbers. And with a limited top speed of 155 mph, there’s plenty of performance for everyone. The AWD makes driving the i8 fun—even the engine note is awesome. Though BMW had to generate the engine noise by pumping it through the speakers, I BMW of Palm Springs 3737 E.

And a player. Whether you’re a weekend duffer, a dreamer on the rise scorecard by scorecard or a pro racking up majors, you know that every stance, stroke and follow-through has its own personality, an identity distinguished player by player. You know who you are and you honestly claim ownership. Good, bad, or indifferent, you’ll stick with that grip on your favorite club, that wiggle or waggle before you send the dimpled ball soaring into what you hope will be history, or at least a marker on your personal history of the game. You have a style all your own. So, too, do the LPGA’s best-known champions. Take Michelle Wie, Lexi Thompson and Christie Kerr. These players express themselves from tee-off to final putt. They’re identified by the way they physically hold themselves posture to posture as they play the course—their smiles, pursed lips, grimaces, attitudes— and by their camaraderie with competitors. They’re often identified by their personal style, ref lected in their fashionforward outfits tailored for comfort, ease, practicality and, darn it, attractiveness. Here’s our take on the trio and their fashionable profiles, which differ significantly. The only consistency among these three is the ponytail flying from the back of their caps or visors. Personal preference rules. Let’s look into “why” and “how.” (You might want to think Holiday gift giving!) Michelle Wie Lithe, lean, tall and equipped with a mega-watt smile belying her Amazonian power, Wie startles her fan-base by dressing in blue delicacy cap-to-toe. Or she will slip into bold blocks of color: a swath of turquoise shirt tucked into purple shorts, a white belt with a hubcap-size buckle. Hailed as stylish for introducing the protective wide-brimmed visor, Wie is a smooth operator, locked and loaded for aggressive but friendly play on the sun-brutal greens. With the figure and height of a model, Wie looks terrific in any silhouette. When not sporting sponsor Nike’s swoosh, Wie is a traditionalist with a modernist streak who may choose to protect her delicate skin in a “vintage” floral long-sleeve shirt by San Soleil embedded with 50 SPF. Alexis (Lexi) Thompson After becoming the second youngest major champion in LPGA history when she won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, Thompson achieved superstar status, earning extra course creds by outplaying fellow six-footer Michelle Wie at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Rancho Mirage, California, earlier this year. She’s a go-to fashionista with competitive confidence, plus she adds a fresh all-American beauty to the out-of-doors game. Her easy-does-it game strategy might include a comfortable polyester/spandex stretch tunicshirt with striking pink and purple prints—a winning combo with stretch capri pants. Both pieces are embedded with sunthwarting 45 SPF by Tail Golf Apparel. Cristie Kerr A formidable presence at just 5-foot-3, Kerr is a leftie playing with a determined right hand. In fact, determination is part of her style. When back spasms threatened the professional career she has pursued since the age of eight, she lost 50 lbs. And for actively raising funds for research with her own Birdies for Breast Cancer foundation, Kerr received the 2006 LPGA Susan G. Komen Award. Known for setting goals and achieving them, this passionate golfer is highly regarded for her putting skills Cristie Kerr conducted with a quiet resolve, a hallmark of her personal game strategy. Fashion-wise, she favors the drama of black, black and white or eye-candy pink. Then again, for a chilly, early morning game, this royal ultramarine jacket in polyester/spandex with ladylike ruching teams perfectly with a graphic half-moon-print pull-on skort by Tail Golf Apparel. _______________________________ Diane Marlin-Dirkx is a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis Shopping Notes: Where to Find Your On-Course Style Pete Carlson’s Golf & Tennis 73741 Hwy. 111 Palm Desert, California DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 53 By Alison Elsner The Roberto Coin Pois Moi Collection Tiffany & Co. T Square Bracelet Tudor Ranger Heritage Collection 54 DesertGOlf&teNNis • OctOberNOvember2014 fineJewelry N avigating the world of fine jewelry, watches and luxury accessories depends a lot on personal style and taste. However, these elements are often accompanied by an overriding sense of trust for the brand that has established high levels of elegance, quality and consistency. Tudor wristwatches embody this trust and reliability. From the creators of Rolex, the new 2014 Tudor Black Bay is a modern dive watch derivative of vintage Submariners. This newest version uses midnight blue bezels rather than the traditional burgundy to connote the famous military Submariners issued to the French Marine Nationale in the 1970s. The timepiece features a 41mm case with a polished satin finish and is 10mm thick with a white silver dial design that surrounds a matte black base and snowflake hands. The screw-down steel crown displays the distinctive Tudor rose and is waterproof to 200 meters. The steel bracelet version sells for $3,425. Tudor has also added the Ranger to its Heritage collection. Suggesting a rugged, outdoorsy theme, this piece is inspired by the Ranger of the late 1960s, drawing upon the military-style watch of the same brand introduced in 1967. This handsome, bold watch features a domed sapphire crystal with a high-contrast dial and painted, domed numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock to create greater dimension. The paint includes Super Lumi-Nova for high visibility. The distinctive brown leather bund strap runs underneath the watch head and is especially tailored to the watch with a tapered oval to fit the shape of the case. The thin edges are painted black with white stitches along the sides and leather that runs through the crosspieces. This beauty is available for $2,825, and there’s also a steel-bracelet version for $2,950. Both options are powered by automatic Caliber 2824, measure 41mm in diameter, have a satin-finished folding clasp and safety catch, are waterproof to 150 meters and come with an additional fabric strap in a special woven camouflage pattern. Tudor timepieces are available at Leeds & Son Fine Jewelers in Palm Desert, California. Another established brand that engenders trust and confidence with buyers, wearers and admirers is Roberto Coin. The Italian designer who founded his company in Vincenza, Italy, in 1977, pioneered the use of three-color gold. He is known for blurring the lines between the timeless classic and the modern trend. In 1996, Roberto Coin started signing his jewels by setting a small 0.3 carat ruby hidden on the inside of each and every piece, allowing the distinguished gem to “kiss the skin.” This is now known as his signature. The Roberto Coin Pois Moi collection (the name playfully translates to “my dots”), was introduced last year. It features several pieces that have gained trend momentum in 2014. One special piece in this collection is the modern, rounded square four-row pave white-diamond bangle in 18-karat rose gold (7.75 carats). The cuff has a push clasp and is detailed with uniform gold rivet detail. Retailing for around $49,000, this piece offers a glamorous take on textural appeal and is inspired by television monitors of the 1950s. For a more delicate look, there’s the two-row version in 18-karat yellow gold (3.62 carats), retailing for $23,000. There’s also a one-row variant in 18-karat white gold. The Pois Moi collection has two stunning sets of pendants. The Pois Moi Dia Padlock necklace in 18-karat yellow and white gold pavé white diamond is striking in its understated boldness. Three rows of gold dots adorn the lock pendant on a cable chain, which sells for $3,900. For more drama, the same necklace is available with a white pavé diamond divot inset (0.4 carats) and retails for $5,500. Both chains measure 17 inches with a lobster clasp, and the lock pendant measures 1.5 inches high. Capturing the essence of America’s most noteworthy historical events and celebrations of romantic love – and the reputed originator of the engagement ring tradition - Tiffany & Co. has a simple yet dramatic new collection: Tiffany T. Design director Francesca Amfitheatrof, who has created her first collection for the brand, is quoted as saying, “The letter T is sculptural and bold and very closely linked to the architecture of New York City the strong, graphic form of the letter T is simplified, deconstructed and reinvented.” The Tiffany & Co. heritage as fine diamond purveyors and classic romanticism is reflected in three particular versions of the Tiffany T bracelet. The Tiffany T square bracelet is fashioned in 18-karat yellow gold and is the most direct representation of the new line. This graceful, classic piece fits wrists up to 6.25 inches and sells for $5,000. The Tiffany T cutout hinged cuff displays 18-karat yellow gold and is also 6.25 inches in circumference. This version features white ceramic surrounding the “T” design, providing a modern update. It also sells for $5,000. The Tiffany T large chain bracelet in 18-karat yellow gold is 8.25 inches in length and is available for $5,500. There are also options of the chain bracelet in 18karat rose gold ($5,500) and sterling silver ($850). One’s style and personality defines the choice of jewelry and luxury watches, but when temptation is strong and selections become challenging, it’s refreshing to know that these established brands can be counted upon for their decades of quality products and exceptional designs. ______________________________ Alison Elsner is a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis Shopping Guide: Where to Find These Inspiring Brands Tudor Leeds & Son Fine Jewelers 73-670 El Paseo Palm Desert, CA 92260 760.568.5266 leedsandson.com Roberto Coin Roberto Coin 73-151 El Paseo, Suite F Palm Desert, CA, 92260 760.568.2661 robertocoin.com Hyde Park Las Vegas Forum Shops 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South Las Vegas, NV 89109 702.794.3541 Hydeparkjewelers.com Tiffany T Tiffany & Co. 73-585 El Paseo Palm Desert, CA 92260 760.341.3444 Tiffany & Co.
