Publisher’sNotes
by timothy J. 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.

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

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.”

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.”

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.

The Hideaway Golf Club
courseDesign
By Clive Clark
The process of designing
and building a golf course in the
desert is very different than the
process elsewhere in the
United States.
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

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Jourdan Flynn is a first-year student at The First Tee in Palm Desert, California.
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.

Jourdan Flynn’s First Tee lessons have

game of golf and lifelong instruction about
real core values.

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.

The latest in real estate development across California, Arizona and Nevada
By Jenell Fontes

A
re the days of ”McMansions”
and the prestige of owning the
biggest house on the block
gone?
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

Bigger May Still be Better
There has been talk of Millennials becoming the "first tinyhouse generation,” but according to the California Association of
Realtors, the California housing market appears once again to favor
larger, more expensive homes as part of a long-term trend.
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.

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.

Kaiser Morcus opened in 1992, which
became the foundation of a local business
with many popular eateries. In August,
the family’s long-standing Chop House
restaurant in Palm Desert was redesigned
as a second Kaiser Grille, with high
ceilings, roomy booths and huge
windows. There’s a lot of creativity here,
with interesting drinks including the
jalapeño margarita and flavorful, creative
entrées such as sesame-and-black-peppercrusted ahi tuna with pan-seared, stirfried veggies. Employees were recruited
mostly from other Kaiser restaurants, so
the service is friendly and efficient.

H
ello World! 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. BMW blue trim rings several of
the interior and exterior features, and the all-familiar chevron on

the hood ensures it’s branded as one of the
best in the business. But the body on this
beauty was not modeled after her daddy’s
BMW.
One look at the hood with its venting,
lines and mean-looking curves will have
you clamoring. This is the best-looking
BMW ever. It has more athleticism than
the M6 and enough class to put Mercedes
and Jaguar on their heels. The bodylines
are dynamic. The doors are creased
lengthwise and scooped at the handles.
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.
Try it out in downtown Denver and you’ll
instantly have 50 new best friends—this
car is a people magnet.
For all the technology that goes into
making the i8, you won’t find yourself

challenge you to point out any hint of
artificiality.
The i8 is a contender and will raise your

fumbling to make it work. It works like a
car, not nuclear power plant. That said
there is a load of work going on inside to
make the three-cylinder gas engine marry
well with the electric motor. The electric
motor works only the front wheels; the gas
engine powers a six-speed transmission on
the rear wheels, providing instant all-wheel
drive.
Now, let’s talk numbers. 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

ou’re a fan. 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.

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.
