We are pleased to feature local desert resident Mark
Woodforde and his doubles partner, Todd Woodbridge, aka
the “Woodies,” on our cover. Both received the Philippe
Chatrier Award, highest honor of the International Tennis
Federation (ITF), presented at the 2014 ITF World
Champions Dinner on June 3. The award, named for the
former player and ITF president, was introduced in 1996
and is awarded each year for outstanding contributions to
tennis. Woodforde and Woodbridge become the first
doubles team to receive the award, joining fellow Australian
recipients Rod Laver, Margaret Court and Neale Fraser. Past
U.S. winners include Martina Navratilova, John McEnroe,
Billie Jean King and Chris Evert.
The Woodies formed one of the greatest doubles
combinations in the history of tennis. Together they won 11
Grand Slam titles and five straight Wimbledon trophies.
They also won Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996 and silver in
Sydney in 2000. Woodforde retired in 2000 with 67
doubles titles, 61 with Woodbridge. The only one of his 12
doubles majors that he didn’t win with Woodbridge was his
first — the 1989 U.S. Open, which he won with John
McEnroe.
Woodforde’s left-handed baseline play with
Woodbridge’s quick reflexes at the net led them to their
induction in the Australian Tennis Hall of Fame in 2010.
Accepting the Philippe Chatrier Award, Woodforde,
who called it an unexpected honor, said, “I’m moved so
deeply that Todd and I will be joining such grand champions
and following in the footsteps of the other Aussies to receive
this accolade.”
Woodforde is a resident of Mission Hills Country Club in
Rancho Mirage, California. He continues to coach and is also
still involved in broadcasting. Learn more about this tennis
great starting on pg. 12.
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the latest on golf
in the desert in this issue, most notably the lack of interest by
corporations in the sponsorship of the former Kraft Nabisco
Championship. Word currently is that the LPGA and IMG
Media will split the expense for the 2015 event if they are not
able to secure a new title sponsor. Many thought that Kia
Motors might step in; however, the company’s sponsorship
of the Kia Classic at Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, California,
will stay in place. There is still hope that the LPGA will find a
sponsor to keep this event at Mission Hills Country Club for
a long time to come.
Additionally, many desert residents and golfers are upset
by major changes to Tour events in the Coachella Valley. As
tournaments opt out of celeb-am formats, there’s a question
as to whether Tour professionals are a big enough draw on
their own. Lacking the glitz, glamor and entertainment
value supplied by celebrities, for example, is the $30,000
price tag for participating in the Humana Challenge too
high?
Only time will tell if these events are shooting themselves
into oblivion. We all hope the celebs and the entertainment
come back!

Since retiring, tennis doubles legend and Rancho Mirage resident Mark Woodforde has
served the industry as a commentator, coach and tournament director. In honor of his
continuous commitment to the sport, the International Tennis Federation recently
presented him the Philippe Chatrier Award.

E
very now and then a special occasion arises in a person’s
life, leading him or her to pause momentarily, reflect on
past achievements and reap the rewards of years of hard
work.
For 17-time Grand Slam champion Mark Woodforde, one half
of “The Woodies,” arguably the greatest doubles partnership of all
time, three occasions stand out in particular: the days in which he
was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Sport
Australia Hall of Fame and the Australian Tennis Hall of Fame.
But his most recent recognition – the Philippe Chatrier Award,
renowned as the International Tennis Federation’s highest honor –
is held in the same regard as his Hall of Fame inductions.
“When I was notified about the honor, it blew me off my feet,”
says Woodforde. “To be recognized for my results on the tennis
court, as well as my services to the game, led me to stop and think,
‘You’re kidding me, right?’”
The 48-year-old Woodforde, along with his longstanding
doubles partner, Todd Woodbridge, received the award on Tuesday,
June 3 at the ITF World Champions Dinner, held at Paris’s Pavillon
d’Armenonville, in the midst of the 2014 French Open.
Woodbridge and Woodforde 1996 Japan Open
“The Woodies” became the first doubles team in history to be
acknowledged as Philippe Chatrier Award recipients. They also
joined Rod Laver, Margaret Court and Neale Fraser as the only
other Australians honored with the award, named after the former
president of the International Tennis Federation and presented
every year since 1996.
“I have been to a number of World Champions Dinners in the
past and watched as the Philippe Chatrier Award was handed out
to some of tennis’s greatest players,” Woodforde continues. “Not
ever did I think we would be honored like that someday.”
Although Woodforde and Woodridge may have been surprised
by the honor, no one else within the tennis world was. After all, the
partners captured 11 Grand Slam men’s doubles titles, 61
tournament victories and an Olympic gold medal in 1996, all while
compiling a 508-137 career record. Winners of all four Grand Slam
titles, “The Woodies” remain the only men’s partnership in the
Open era to win five consecutive Wimbledon championships.
But the Philippe Chatrier Award is not only presented to tennis
professionals based on their career accolades alone; it also
celebrates long-term, dedicated service to the sport on and off the
tennis court.
Since retiring in 2000, Woodforde has worked for Australia’s
Channel 9, Fox Sports Australia, and BBC Radio 5 live as a
commentator, sharing his knowledge and insight at each of the
Grand Slam tournaments. He has also served as the co-tournament
Woodforde and Jr. Davis Cup Team
director of the South Australian Open and has established the
World Tennis Challenge, a tennis exhibition held in Adelaide,
Australia, which attracts former and current tennis professionals.
In addition, he has coached tennis professionals, from Novak
Djokovic, ranked world No. 1 since winning at Wimbledon by the
Association of Tennis Professionals, to Marinko Matosevic,
Australia’s second-highest ranked tennis player. His leadership
skills have also been utilized in team settings, while serving as the
coach of Australia’s Fed Cup team and captain of Australia’s Junior
Davis Cup team.
“Each of these roles allows me to remain active in tennis, while
also having enough free time to be at home with my wife and
children,” says Woodforde. “I love what I’m doing.”

A 24-year resident of Rancho Mirage,
California, and a member of Mission Hills
Country Club, Woodforde was first
introduced to the Palm Desert area after
participating in the Indian Wells Masters
tennis tournament in the late 1980s. He
realized that he needed a home base in the
United States and decided to purchase a
condo at Mission Hills a few months after
he captured the 1989 U.S. Open men’s
doubles championship with his former
partner, John McEnroe.
“I was mesmerized by the weather,
country clubs and location near Los
Angeles,” Woodforde says. “Not to
mention, it was a hotbed for tennis players
as Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, and
Pete Sampras were members. I was
especially hooked when I learned Rod
Laver lived nearby.”
When he is not broadcasting or
coaching, he can often be found at Mission
Hills’ water park playing with his children,
or frequenting some of his favorite Rancho
Mirage restaurants.
“The River provides plenty of dining and
entertainment options, including movies,
which my family and I enjoy,” Woodforde
says. “I’ll try anything, really, thanks to
traveling the world. No Da Te is my favorite
Japanese restaurant—hands down—while
Johannes Restaurant offers the best
schnitzel outside of Austria and Germany.”

Although he treasures every moment
he spends with his family in Rancho
Mirage, he doesn’t expect to retire from the
tennis industry anytime soon. In fact, he
intends to maintain his current schedule.
“I love travelling to commentate at all
four Grand Slams, to coach Tour players
and to mentor the Junior Davis Cup team,”
he says. “My passion for the game has led
me to remain involved in the game today –
as a commentator, tournament director
and so forth. That passion will likely never
subside.”

in such a way that it would evolve into a major championship.
Dinah Shore was a big part of the process in the early years. A
bona-fide Hollywood star whose marketing value had already been
proven, Shore was close to being universally well known and well
liked. While the golf bug didn’t bite Shore until she was in her early
50s, her passion for the game of golf, her marketability and the
desert scene laid the foundation for the successful marketing mix
in the early 1970s.
The Women’s liberation movement, which bloomed in the
mid-60s, was well established. Women were generally on the move
in society, claiming long-latent rights. They were asserting
themselves professionally and were perceived as being more equal
than ever in life partnerships.
They’d always called the shots at the grocery store, but now
they seemingly had more input than ever in other family aspects.
Women felt socially empowered enough to ramp up their
participation in what had always been a man’s sport. That
movement, combined with Shore’s star power, desert glamor,
Colgate-Palmolive’s financial backing and desire to reach this new,
empowered generation of women, created the ideal environment
for the tournament to flourish.
As the tournament evolved, so did its format and relationship to
the sponsors. When Colgate-Palmolive moved off the sponsor’s
marquee after the 1981 tournament, Nabisco quickly stepped in
with renewed enthusiasm, an increased purse and lavish vendor
galas. It also perpetuated the relationship between the tournament
and companies that provided products that reached the consumer
through grocery stores.
For nearly 20 years, through name changes (including
dropping Shore’s name from the title in 2000), ownership changes
and even hostile takeovers, Nabisco stuck with the tournament. In
2000, the last major change of the tournament’s original form

o matter what happens from this point with the
tournament that was the Kraft-Nabisco
Championship, it is clear that the first, long, glorious
chapter to that story has been written—and the page
turned. Kraft Nabisco’s run as sponsor of the LPGA Major ended
with the final putt of the 2014 tournament.
From the days of the 1972 Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s
Circle offering an unheard of $110,000 first-place check, sales and
marketing were actually calling the shots in terms of sponsorship.
Then and for many years a major producer of home-based
products had a huge stake in the tournament. In the early days, the
Colgate-Palmolive sponsorship was not only about getting the
company’s message through to women across the country, but also
about making those women feel like it was behind them. In this
case, it was backing a major women’s professional golf tournament
Lexi Thompson 2013 Champion
came when Philip Morris bought Nabisco and combined it with its
Kraft Foods division, paving the way for the long relationship with
Nabisco and grocers to continue. From the tournament’s

beginning in 1972, its main marketing
mission was to get sponsor products on
grocery store shelves. And, back in the day,
there were many, many grocery outlets to
consider.
In addition to putting on a first-class
major golf tournament, Kraft Nabisco’s
mission, and Nabisco’s before that, and
Colgate-Palmolive’s before that was to get
those grocers to Rancho Mirage every
spring, while many of their stores were
covered with snow, and properly wine and
dine them in the swanky Southern
California desert. Pro-Ams, unlimited
access to product samples and
hobnobbing with the competitors and
Hollywood stars during nightly parties
won over many an independent grocer,
who left each year convinced that Kraft
Nabisco products should get all the shelf
space they needed.
Over the last three decades, however,
the grocery industry, like many other
sectors of the U.S. economy, has changed
and consolidated dramatically. And the
change has accelerated over the last
decade. There are now basically five
national grocery giants (Walmart, Kroger,
Albertson’s, Safeway and Costco), with a
few substantial regional chains (WinnDixie, Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly). Under
the current circumstances, Kraft Nabisco’s
parent company, Mondelez, only needs to
connect to the large chains and large
18
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014
The winner jumping in the lake is a Kraft Nabisco tradition
regionals, and it’s the big boys’ purchases
that typically set the buying plans for the
smaller regional stores and independents.
In other words, if Kroger is giving certain
products plenty of space, smaller chains
and grocers take note and usually make
similar proportional purchases.
Toss in the global financial disaster of
late 2008 and the resulting period of
corporate austerity, and Mondelez and
Kraft Nabisco were soon approaching the
break-even point related to their
investment in the tournament and the
benefit they were receiving for their
sponsorship—particularly
when
compared to the grocery-party heyday of
the pre-consolidation era.
So, as the chapter closes, the moral of
the story so far is that the changing
business climate has had its effect on the
Kraft Nabisco, or what was the Kraft
Nabisco, Championship. While the
powers that be in the LPGA say they are
committed to doing whatever it takes to
keep the championship going, at this point
many questions remain.
One thing, however, is certain:
whatever the tournament is in the future,
it will be determined in no small way by
external business forces commanded by
the invisible hand of the world economy.

rofessional golfers know that when analysts expect to see
their name on Sunday’s leaderboard at a major, life is good.
And when the analysts expect to see a 19-year-old’s name
on the leaderboard going into Sunday’s round, life is great!
Alexis “Lexi” Thompson quietly works her way around a golf
course with precision and stealth, portraying a calmness that even
veterans envy. She is tan, slender and fashionable. Her smile has
slyness to it, as if to say, “I might be only 19 years old but I’m here to
win!”
And win she has, taking in over $2.5 million in career earnings
to this point. Thompson’s story is one of love for the game and
considerable determination.
Growing up in a family of golfers, Thompson was home
schooled and graduated in 2012. At age 12 she was the youngest
golfer ever to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open. She turned
professional in June 2010 at age 15. In 2011, Thompson set a new
record as the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA tournament.
Three months later, she became the second youngest winner on
the Ladies European Tour. And that same year, she became a
member of the LPGA. Then in 2014, she won the Kraft Nabisco
Championship, making her the second youngest women’s major
winner to date. In total, Thompson has four wins and 19 top-10
finishes.
Recently Thompson tied for seventh at the 2014 U.S. Women’s
Open, raising the question: Is she where she thought she would be
at this point?
“I always set my goals pretty high as a kid, so I wouldn’t say I’m
ahead of where I wanted to be, but I’m very satisfied with my
success,” she says. “In golf there’s always room for improvement,
and I look forward to accomplishing more of my future goals.”
There are other things in life that Thompson wouldn’t mind
the media asking about. “Anything other than golf really—music,
leisure activities, family, food, etc.” Thompson’s bucket list includes
skydiving, playing a round at Pebble Beach and flying an F/A 18
fighter Jet.
The one question she wishes the media would stop asking her
is, “Do you plan on playing on the PGA tour at any time?”
Thompson rolls her eyes and leaves it at that.

But she lights up when asked about her family. “I rely on them
the most for just being there for me after every round, whether it’s
good or bad. I know I can go to any of my family members and they
will be there to get me through certain times in my life,” she says.
“At the Kraft Nabisco, that whole week was pretty special. To have
both of my parents there supporting me every day and making
home-cooked meals was amazing. Jumping into Poppies Pond with
very special people in my life was a moment I’ll always remember.”
Recalling that day she adds, “Having the Marines be our
standard bearers was very special to me also.”
Born in Coral Springs, Florida, Thompson has yet to have any
thoughts of leaving the state, but admits to thinking about moving
to West Palm Beach or Jupiter. “Not out of Florida for sure!” she
says. Her favorite team is the Florida Panthers.
While many people are star struck at meeting Thompson these
days, she is enjoying a few star-struck moments of her own. One
such moment was meeting Tiger Woods, and another occurred on
a media tour after her first win on the LPGA in 2011, when she met
actors Taylor Lautner and Jonah Hill. She doesn’t mention whether
the celebrities asked her for golf tips.
Because her days are filled with appointments, practice rounds
and managers, Thompson is adamant about scheduling family
time as well as time for herself. She clearly has a handle on what is
truly important in life. But her lighter side comes into play when
asked who would make up her ultimate foursome.
“Tiger Woods, Michael Jackson and Channing Tatum,” she
replies, flashing that winning smile.

T
here are the famous and the not so famous. Then there’s
the person everyone seems to know, causing everyone else
in the room to ask, “Who is that guy, is he famous?” Meet
Kyle Burton. At 89 years young, he’s a regular at the gym, a
regular around the golf course and every Monday through Friday
since 1979 he’s a regular at Keedy’s Fountain Grill in Palm Desert,
California.
Sitting with his same group of guys every morning with coffee in
hand, Burton banters with his friends about world issues, family, what
everyone is doing that day and the game of golf.
If there is one thing Burton knows a lot about, it’s golf.
Born in Antioch, Tennessee, Burton and his family soon moved to
Nashville. Times were hard. Burton’s father was a security guard
making just $17 a week. At the age of 10, Burton got a job as a caddy
earning 40 cents for 18 holes plus a dime tip if his player didn’t lose a
Vintage Invitational, played golf with presidents and swapped golf
stories with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
Burton is not one to boast about playing golf with President
Eisenhower, or the honor he received this year at the Vintage Club
from Tom Fazio and the community. What he does mention is that
his Vintage membership status is the same as former President
George H.W. Bush and that he enjoys driving around Vintage in a golf
cart and keeping up with things.
His son has worked at Vintage for 33 years. “He got out of the
Marines, I gave him a job and they just kept him on,” Burton says.
The stories Burton tells are fascinating. He uses the phrase “off the
record” often. “I knew probably the best player in the world that no
really knew about,” he says suddenly. “He came out of Europe and his
name was Flory Van Dynck. He won more tournaments that you
can shake a stick at but wasn’t well known because there was another
Vintage Club Director of Golf From 1979-1996
ball. Finding clubs here and there, the young caddie had his own set
by age 12 and started teaching himself how to play.
It would be fascinating to document Burton’s life year by year,
including caddy fights, his time as a boxer, life in the service, playing
on the European Tour for nine years, marriage and family. However,
we barely have enough space to talk about his friendship with Sam
Snead and how it all started over a breakfast Snead bought him. Or
the famous players he’s quietly helped with a friendly chat and a few
requested suggestions. There’s also his job at Spalding and his
professional tenure at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.
And then there was the career in his late 40s at the famous
Vintage Club in Indian Wells, California. Enjoying retirement,
Burton was convinced by developer Mick Humphreys to move to
the desert to work with Tom Fazio and, ultimately, to become the
first director of golf at the Vintage Club. From 1979 to 1996, Burton
helped create this awarding winning facility, was instrumental in the
European player at the time getting all the attention, Seve
Ballesteros.”
When asked about today’s golf industry, Burton thinks for a
moment. “It’s gotten so big, it’s harder for the older person like myself
to understand it,” he says. “It used to have more tradition than there is
now, and I really think that back then the players were more
respectful. But the game itself, there can’t be much change to it. You
still have to go out and hit the ball; they just hit them a lot farther
today than we did back then.”
With a glance at his watch, the retiree realizes he has things to
attend to, but not before answering one last question: Who would
make up his ultimate foursome?
“As long as I’m in it,” he says with a laugh, “ I’d take Jack Nicklaus,
Gary Player and Flory Van Dynck.”

CourseDesign
By Clive Clark
Here’s the question: You live
in California and you’re
contemplating: Which would
be the most difficult course to
access for a round of golf? You’re
probably thinking Cypress
Point, Los Angeles Country
Club, The Tradition or The
Madison Club in the
Coachella Valley. Good
choices, but you’d be wrong. All of
those clubs have members who can invite you as their guest.
The answer is actually Sunnylands. “What?” you say. “Where’s
that?” Sunnylands was the home of Ambassador Walter Annenberg
and his wife, Leonore. It is a 200-acre estate in Rancho Mirage,
California, where the media baron and his wife lived for many years.
The estate’s course has seen a few guests since it opened in the early
1960s. Among those who played this nine-hole beauty are nine
presidents of the United States including presidents Nixon, Reagan,
Obama and both of the Bushes. Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra were
also regular guests. On one occasion, the Queen of England, who
stayed with the Annenbergs, took a tour of the golf course.
Cart ride tours
You may think that a round at Sunnylands is out of the question
and that would be fairly accurate. However, there are regular tours
of the estate for the public, which include a cart ride around the
course. I was fortunate enough to be invited along to view the golf
course recently.
Sunnylands Golf Course was renovated some three or four years
ago and it is certainly a very good course (by the way, it is possible to
play 27 holes by playing off several different tees).
Although it unlikely to land on the list of Top 100 courses in the
world, it is no slouch. Large, gaping bunkers protect the greens.
Sweeping fairways and large established trees, with the occasional
lake, set up the ‘eye candy.’ And, no surprise, there is not a divot to be
seen!

Delos Bench made of white marble
What is to be seen, however, is a
collection of unusual artifacts and
sculptures, which are carefully spaced
throughout the course. Close to the first
tee, for example, is the magnificent Delos
Bench. It was hewn from exquisite white
marble. It is massive and it is heavy—so
heavy, in fact, that it had to be transported
to the grounds by helicopter.
During my tour, our guide pointed out
the Eisenhower palm trees, the only two
palm trees that exist on the golf course. In
1966, Walter Annenberg was playing with
President Eisenhower. The president
noticed that there were no palm trees on
the course and commented that he found
that to be very unusual for a golf course
located in Palm Springs. The following
week, two substantial palm trees were
planted, bordering one of the fairways,
which actually added a little more strategy
to the hole.
A couple of holes later one comes upon
the Chinese Pavilion. It’s a good place to
take a little shade, and I imagine that a
butler once provided afternoon tea with
finely sliced cucumber sandwiches in this
cool setting.
On the following hole a striking 30-foot
totem pole rises out of the semi-rough, just

short of the green. Apparently it was the work of Henry Hunt,
Canada’s first native artist. Moving farther down the course, we
thought, “Hello, what’s this? Are we at St Andrews?” The original
architect, Richard (Dick) Wilson, had designed a massive double
green.
As we approached the end of our tour, I asked our guide if there
were any other unusual features he could point out. He didn’t
hesitate.
“Yes, sir. Do you see that magnolia tree over on the left of that
fairway? That was a gift from President Nixon.” It actually came
from a cutting of the magnolia tree on the lawn of the White
House. The original cutting came from President Andrew
Jackson’s estate, just minutes away from downtown Nashville.
That’s one well-traveled tree!
So, there it is—a whirlwind tour of one of the most exclusive
golf courses in the world. Next time you’re in the Palm Springs area,
it is worth taking the time to book one of the tours (just seven
people at a time can be accommodated on each cart). These tours
are very popular so make sure you do your homework and book
well in advance.

s 2014 the U.S. team’s year to win back the Ryder Cup? It’s a
feat that has not been accomplished since 2008 at Valhalla
Golf Club in Kentucky, and since 1993 in Europe. Revered
Gleneagles Golf Club hosts the 2014 Matches, but not on its
fabled James Braid courses. Instead, this year’s Cup will be
contested on Jack Nicklaus’ signature parkland layout for big
hitters, the PGA Centenary Course, originally named the
Monarch’s Course.
Many Europeans are dismayed that the Matches aren’t on one
of Scotland’s famed links.
Initial Matches were played at Gleneagles in 1921, with
Britain/Ireland winning 9-3. Seed merchant Samuel Ryder, an
ardent spectator and golfer, launched the Ryder Cup at tea in 1926.
In 1979, with U.S. teams dominating the Matches, Jack Nicklaus
suggested changing the format and team selection to include
Europe. Since then, Europe has won nine Matches, America four,
and there has been one tie.
European Captain,
Irelannd’s Paul McGinley
Gleneagles Golf Club
On paper, the United States was predicted glory on Arnold
Palmer’s spectacular design at Ireland’s K Club in 2006, and again in
2010 at rain-drenched Celtic Manor in Wales. In 2012, the
European team prevailed yet again, this time at Medinah Country
Club in Illinois with a sensational Sunday singles win that has come
to be known as the “Miracle of Medinah.”
Needing a turnaround from these losses, the U.S. revised its
strategy and named Tom Watson 2014 captain. Loved by the Scots
as a native son, Watson brings a depth of unrivaled experience and a
focus from a “winning” generation, and he has no fear of doing
things his way to win, as he did in 1993 as captain—the U.S. team’s
last victory on European soil. Watson has chosen Andy North and
Raymond Floyd as vice captains.
Ireland’s Paul McGinley, Europe’s captain, isn’t a household
name, but he has been a perennial vice captain in the Ryder Cup
Matches and a victorious captain for many Seve Trophy teams.
McGinley also made the winning putt against Jim Furyk at The
Belfry in the 2002 Matches. He has chosen Scotland’s victorious
2002 Ryder Cup captain, Sam Torrance, and Ireland’s Des Smyth as
his initial vice captains.
Both captains have three picks, which will be critical
considering the multitude of new, young talent available for the 12man teams. Some Ryder Cup veteran players could be lacking
points.
Graeme McDowell, whose triumph over Hunter Mahan in
2010 secured the Cup, believes competition will be fierce. “There
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014

Tom Watson, 2014 U.S. Captain
are going to be two or three guys who miss, quality players,” he says.
“McGinley’s wild cards will be very hotly contested. [It will be] a
tough team to get on, and for America, too.”
36
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014
Zach Johnson agrees. ”All are grinding. They want to make the
team.”
Is Tiger a lock? Not like before. Potential newbies for the U.S. team
are Jimmy Walker, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Harris English.
Europe’s Victor Dubuisson, Henrik Stenson, Jamie Donaldson
and Thomas Bjorn appear in. It’s hoped that Scot Stephen
Gallacher will qualify so McGinley doesn’t need to use a pick.
Retouched by Nicklaus for the Matches, the par-72 PGA
Centenary Course now stretches 7,243 yards. The 18th hole
received the most changes in preparation for the Matches. “It’s not
a very difficult hole. It’s exciting. I’m very proud of it,” Nicklaus says.
Host Europe controls course set-up, which is always critical, but
will be even more so if it’s a “wet” Gleneagles. The European Tour’s
Johnny Walker Championships have also been contested here
annually, thus advantage Europe. But, it’s a big-hitters course, and
that gives the U.S. team more advantage.
“Gleneagles is a very unique course, creating a challenge in
itself,” Arnold Palmer notes. “I think America’s success will depend
on how seriously they approach the Matches, if their mental
toughness equals or betters [that of] the Europeans.”
NBC/Golf Channel Ryder Cup commentator, England’s Tom
Abbott, says, “The stretch from the par-4 14th on is testing and will
be tough. The par-5 16th is risk/reward and bombers can go for it
in two. The 18th is a good finish but isn’t that tough.”
As for Captain Watson, he’s old school. He only wants guys on
his team “with heart and guts.”
Game on at Gleneagles, Sept. 23-28.

doesn’t host a big bi-annual golf
shindig
or
intra-club
competition to mark its Ryder
Cup history. But the Matches are never far
from the minds of the members or the staff
regardless of the year or the day.
“We all know when it’s time,” says head
golf professional, Nick DeKock. “The
Ryder Cup is always something special for
our membership.”
While there are commemorative
photos and other paraphernalia related to
the 1955 Matches played at Thunderbird,
However, the club did make a dramatic
addition to the grounds earlier this year in
honor of its Ryder Cup past. A new foursided clock commemorating the U.S. team’s
8-4 win over the Great Britain/Ireland team
was unveiled in the courtyard just outside
the pro shop, on the footpath from the
putting green to the first tee.
Thunderbird benefitted from the
exposure and buzz the event generated, as
did the surrounding valley. The relatively
lunar location was a striking change of pace
for golfers from both teams, and some
historians credit the novelty of playing in
desert came together to make
Thunderbird one of Southern California’s
hottest properties in the 1950s.
Further testimony to the success of the
1955 Matches came in 1959; the very next
time the competition was played in the
United States, it was contested just down
Highway 111 at Eldorado Country Club
in Indian Wells.
The club and competition owe a debt
of thanks to Robert Hudson, the Portland
grocery magnate and Thunderbird
member who financed the British team’s
trip to the States for the 1947 competition
at Portland Golf Club, where Hudson was
also a member. In part because of World
War II, the Matches had not been held
since 1937, and when the Portland Open
was cancelled for financial considerations
in 1947, Hudson moved to have the Ryder
Cup at Portland Golf Club. He arranged for
the British team’s passage to the United
States on the Queen Mary, accompanied
them on their cross-country train ride to
Oregon and paid all their expenses.
When the Brits traveled to Pinehurst
for the Matches in 1951, the British PGA
picked up their tab. But Hudson was
already working behind the scenes to
bring the event to Thunderbird in 1955,
an effort that eventually succeeded.
“The course had just opened in 1951,
so it was pretty amazing to have a major
that’s just one of many historic events that
have taken place at the club, the first 18hole facility to be constructed in the
Coachella Valley.
There’s only so much wall and displaycase space at the club, and many walls and
cases are filled with photos of
Thunderbird’s development, when there
was very little else around and Highway
111 was a two-lane blacktop. There’s
photo after photo of famous members:
Don Hutson, Ralph Kiner, Hoagy
Carmichael, Phil Harris, Johnny Dawson,
Bing Crosby, Desi Arnaz and Lucille
Ball...the list of Southern California’s midcentury stars who called the club home is
extensive and impressive. So much so that
its attachment to Hollywood’s elite may
have eclipsed the 1955 Ryder Cup as a
drawing card for the club.
“We were fortunate enough to play a
piece [of video] for our members during
our Phil Harris Member-Guest earlier this
year, and it was neat for the members to be
able to see what life was like here back in
the 50s and 60s,” DeKock says. “If the walls
could talk...”
the desert as one of the factors that helped
sustain the event when the United States
was winning regularly and handily. The
combination of international exposure,
the prestige of hosting the game’s top
international competition and the fact that
Hollywood was in the process of falling in
love with the serenity and seclusion of the
international event just four years later,”
DeKock says. “To maintain and preserve
the history of that event is vital to the club.”

charity has never been easier. At
Bighorn Golf Club, charity and
golfing go hand-in-hand thanks to
Randall Dee Hubbard (R.D. to his friends),
an exceptional chairman and managing
director who set the bar high on day one.
Opened in 2006 to rave reviews for its
spectacular homes and two championship
golf courses, Bighorn Golf Club in Palm
Desert, California, set out to grab the golf
world’s attention with such events as the

Already boasting staggering numbers
for funds raised and gifted, the charity’s
giving continues to grow as it expands its
community program to include a new,
grassroots component: giving up to
$500,000 annually to qualified nonprofits
in the Coachella Valley. Bighorn Golf Club
Charities developed this program to fund
specific projects of local nonprofit
organizations that demonstrate a need and
are making a real difference in the quality of
life for the people they serve. The focus of
encouraging youth to pursue their dreams
through higher education.
In April 2014, Hubbard was inducted as
a member of this prestigious association,
joining eleven other outstanding business
and civic leaders from across North America
in receiving this honor. Since 1947, this
annual award has recognized exceptional
leaders—all with a commitment to
philanthropy and higher education—who
have overcome significant personal
challenges to achieve success.
Skins Games, U.S. Senior Match Play
Challenge, Battles at BIGHORN and the
LPGA’s Samsung World Championships.
With great success branding the club,
and having rendered unforgettable
moments for its members and the world to
see, Bighorn quickly established itself as a
viable player in the world of high-end, golfcourse living.
Perhaps more impressive is what goes on
behind the scenes, particularly related to
fundraising. Bighorn Golf Club Charities,
with the full support of Hubbard, has
surpassed all expectations within the
community, and the nonprofits on the
receiving end could not be more grateful.
Since its inception in 2006, Bighorn
Golf Club Charities has gifted over $5
million in funding in the Coachella Valley.
This includes Bighorn BAM (Behind a
Miracle), which helps fund breast-cancer
programs, as well as other funding
supporting education, the arts and the
building of the Bighorn Golf Club

College of the Desert for the 400 warriors
attending the institution.
the program will be nonprofits that aid
valley children and shelters, and that
provide assistance for those who require a
helping hand in order to seek a better life
and a brighter future for themselves, their
families and their communities.
Anyway you look at the tremendous
success of this charitable organization, all
cart paths lead back to Hubbard, the man
with a mind for success and a heart for
giving.
This is the same man who formed the
R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard Foundation,
which is dedicated to providing and
improving educational opportunities for
students of all ages, and the Shoemaker
Foundation, named for legendary jockey
Willie Shoemaker, to help raise funds for
horsemen suffering from catastrophic
accidents or illnesses.
While Hubbard himself is very low key
about his charitable accomplishments,
they did not go unnoticed by the Horatio
Alger Association of Distinguished
Americans, Inc., a nonprofit educational
organization honoring the achievements
of
outstanding
individuals
and
Regarding the award, Hubbard
commented, "It is a wonderful honor to be
inducted into the Horatio Alger
Association and to be recognized for not
only my professional accomplishments
but also the humble beginnings that
shaped my character. I believe in the power
of hard work, determination and having
passion for what you do in your career. I am
proud to become a member of an
organization that not only believes in those
same principles but helps to instill them in
young Americans."
With heartfelt emotions from many in
the Coachella Valley who have greatly
benefitted from the generosity of the
Bighorn Golf Club Charities and Mr. R. D.
Hubbard, we salute Bighorn’s ingenuity,
congratulate Hubbard on the much
deserved induction and thank everyone
involved for showing the Coachella Valley
that it’s possible to make a difference and
have a heck-of-a-great time doing it.

This issue’s golf instruction article comes from the 17th hole on
Desert Willow's Firecliff Golf Course, where I spent some time
with Head Professional Ryan Szydlowski. Golfers frequently get in
situations where they don't know what type of chip to play onto
the green. This tricky little chip to the side of the 17th hole on
Firecliff is a good example.
Ryan will first run you through the chip-and-run option, and I'll
cover the lob shot.
I focus on keeping very soft grip pressure and use my shoulders
to execute the chip. During every practice swing, I exaggerate a
short backswing to emphasize accelerating through impact. I
practice a consistent swing tempo and use different length swings
to control distance. Chip and Run
I determine where I need to land my ball before choosing a club.
If I have a ridge to carry or a short-sided pin, I’ll use a higher-loft club
to produce more carry and less release. If I have a lot of green to
work with and minimal undulation, I’ll use a short iron to get the
ball rolling like a putt as soon as possible. I selected a 56-degree
wedge for this shot because I need to carry the shot over a subtle
ridge, halfway to the hole. My ball position for this shot is on my
back foot and I set up with a slightly open clubface. This allows me
to hit the ball first consistently, and the added bounce I create by
opening the clubface helps the club get through long rough
without restriction. 42
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014
Setting up with the ball on my back foot helps me hit down on
the ball through impact. I focus on finishing low through impact
with my clubface pointed at the sky. If my hands take over, I risk
hitting low shots that are off target. In practice, you can draw a line
on your golf ball and point it down your target line. Most golfers
Golfinstruction
don’t realize they line up off target. This drill will help you get
comfortable with a proper setup and square clubface, and it will
also help you learn how your ball reacts to an open clubface. The Lob Shot
The first thing I like to do is to break a chip down into sections
or a grid ( 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 ). This grid helps me establish the landing
areas of the clubs I might choose. The lob shot will land at the
beginning of the 1/3 section as soft as possible.
In order to get the ball to land as soft as possible, I will go with
my 60-degree lob wedge. I will grip the club with what most
consider a very weak grip, with my left thumb positioned slightly
left of the grooves. With this weak grip, I want to open my stance so
my bodyline is angled left of the target. This setup is very similar to
a greenside bunker shot. My backswing will be through a big shoulder turn, and then I
hinge my wrist to "set the club." This hinging in the wrist will
actually create a 90-degree angle between the left arm and the
shaft.
As I turn slowly back through the ball, I will maintain the hinge
in my wrist, which will help me get the golf club under the
ball, maintaining an open clubface. This open clubface through
impact will help the ball pop out of the greenside rough very high
and soft. You can see as I hold my finish how the clubface is angled
straight up into the sky and my body has turned through to the
target. Using my body as the primary power source will help my
arms and hands control the club. The key is to practice these shots around the greens to get a feel
for how hard to swing through the ball to control your distances. ______________________________________________

T
aking advantage of the power of the sun can reduce your
monthly electric bills, increase the value of your home
and make a difference in our ecological footprint. Due to
advances in solar technology and mass production of
solar panels, solar it is now less expensive and cumbersome to add
to any home or business. So what do you need to know when
calculating if going solar is the right decision for you and your
home? It is important to calculate your yearly savings, the cost to
lease or purchase the panels and the overall value and curb appeal
of your home. Once you have asked the right questions and have
the data, you may find that going green is a solid financial decision as
well as a positive lifestyle decision.
“There is no doubt that solar adds greatly to the value of a home,
as well to the quality of life for those who live there,” says Vincent
Battaglia, CEO and president of Renova Solar in Palm Desert,
California, which provides solar panels for residences and
businesses. “[Homeowners] not only enjoy the considerable
savings on their utility bill each month, they also have the
satisfaction from using a clean, renewable form of energy
generation.”
CALCULATE THE SAVINGS, LOCATE THE DISCOUNTS
To help calculate the cost of solar for your home relative to the
monthly savings on your electric bill and the ultimate payoff, you
will need to weigh the initial costs and maintenance costs of a solar
system against yearly savings and home valuation. This will help
you to decide if the investment in solar is worth the payoff or if
leasing equipment is a more viable option.
An online tool operated by the California Energy Commission
can help you with the appropriate calculations. It’s available at
http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/tools/save.php.
In the Coachella Valley, owners can take advantage of a Property
Assesses Clean Energy loan program to fund home and business
energy improvements, including solar. The money is loaned to the
property, not the owner, and is paid as a part of the property tax bill.
SOLAR and YOUR HOME VALUE
Part of your decision may come down to determining how
adding solar will increase your home value. Some appraisers are still
learning how to value solar, but a common formula is 20 times the
annual savings. As researchers continue to study data, the results
are becoming as clear as the sun on a cloudless day. Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) analyzed data on homes
with photovoltaic (PV) systems from 2000-2009 in the study,
“Exploring California PV Home Premiums,” and the results show
that solar boots a home’s resale value. The LBNL report estimated
that each 1-kilowatt (kW) increase in rooftop solar system size adds
$5,911 to a home’s resale value.
“Our analysis offers clear support that a premium exists in the
marketplace, thus PV systems have value and their contribution to
home values must be assessed,” states the report. You can read
more at http://emp.lbl.gov/publications/exploring-california-pvhome-premiums.
You should also check with your city, state, county and local
power companies for incentives or financing programs. The real
discount is the 30-percent federal tax credit that expires at the end
of 2016. It’s a credit against federal tax liability, so whether a person
has the tax appetite or not is a major factor in whether it’s better to
buy or lease.
Good news for homeowners is that lease and finance options
are expanding according to David Herrlinger of Hot Purple Energy,
a solar-energy solutions company in Palm Springs, California. “It’s
clear solar still saves you money even with an interest component,
so the options will continue to grow,” he says.

Saving With Solar—Real-Life Examples
This three-bedroom, two-bath home in Palm Desert, California,
features 3,196 square feet of living space as well as a pool and spa. Yearly
savings are estimated to be $7,967, with monthly electric payments
dropping from an average of $766 to just $102. This purchased system will
pay for itself in a little over five years. Using a formula based on the
savings, it can add up to $159,000 to the home valuation, bringing the
estimated value of this home from $733,000 to $892,000.
DO RESEARCH, GET MULTIPLE BIDS
Once you decide that solar energy is cost effective and you want
it, the biggest decision to make is whether to purchase, in essence
becoming your own power plant, or have a company install solar
panels on your roof and retain ownership while you make a fixed
payment each month that will be lower than what you were paying
for traditional energy. There are plusses to both options. The
option requires no money out-of-pocket because installation is free,
while purchasing generates substantially more savings over the
lifetime of the system.
Whichever system you choose, using the best equipment
backed by the best manufacturer is a good way to ensure that this
asset produces the desired energy—and thus savings—for decades
to come. All solar panels and solar leases are not created equal, so it’s
important to shop around. SunPower, for example, a U.S.
manufacturer, makes solar panels that deliver 44 percent more
power than conventional panels of the same size. That means fewer
panels on your roof, a more attractive array and room to expand in
the future should you get an electric car.

In Rancho Mirage, California, this horse property, with stables, has
eight bedrooms, seven baths and 9,554 square feet of living space on nearly
seven acres. Monthly electricity payments were about $2,000. It’s believed
they’ll drop to about $60 because there was room for enough solar to offset
97 percent of the electric usage. Yearly energy savings are estimated to be
over $24,000, with a payback period of just under six years. This solar
purchase could increase the value of the home by $480,000, to a current
estimated value of $2.5 million.

Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), which certifies solar installers. As
with any home improvement, work only with licensed, bonded
and insured contractors.
It’s also important to receive multiple bids. Established local
contractors are your best bet as they have relevant and accessible
references as well as equipment that is tailored to desert heat. Take
your time choosing; proper and careful installation is critical as
cutting into the roof of your home can have major consequences if
not done correctly. It would be a shame for all of your savings to go
down the drain because of a leaky roof. Of course, reputable solar
installers utilize techniques such as double flashing as needed and
bring in qualified roofing companies that will offer their own
warranty for their work.
Solar Energy has proven itself to be reliable and less expensive
than grid energy, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sizing a
solar system or determining if it’s better to buy or lease. And even if
you have run the numbers in the past, check them again. Pricing on
equipment and installation has dropped dramatically in recent
months while electric rates continue to rise.
Putting the sun to work for you could just put some green back
in your pockets, so why not do a little research to find out? You
might be pleasantly surprised at what you discover.
Still, you have to do some research and ask questions to determine
which product and which company is right for your home.
Asking some key questions upfront, for example, will help
ensure that the company you choose will do a quality job. First, ask
for qualifications, licenses and client references. You can check with
the California State License Board, The Desert Contractors
Association and with the North American Board of Certified

T
he extraordinary reputation of
the people of Thailand is not
exaggerated. From the simplest
farming communities to cities
such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thai
people are genuinely kind and sincere. And
they are always smiling. That warmly
welcoming attitude is contagious.
Still considered by some a bit Third
World, Thailand actually enjoys a strong
Interestingly, caddies at all golf courses
in Thailand are female. The caddy who
holds your umbrella to protect you from
the sun or fetches your favorite club will
also gladly massage your back and find a
cold towel for your neck. And she’ll do
that while also providing accurate yardage
and reading your putts. The cost for this
level of service is a mere 400 baht—
approximately $13!
shower and change into clean clothes in
the clubhouse. Most facilities are
expansive, providing more than 30 private
showers and large, beautifully appointed
locker rooms.
And then there are the courses
themselves. Siam Country Club in Pattaya
has three championship golf courses. The
qualifying course for the International
BMW Championships is one of the newer
layouts and, as one would expect, it offers
exceptional golf. Siam Country Club is the
first privately owned golf course in
Thailand and the first facility in the
country to host an LPGA event. Its
stunning contemporary clubhouse has
everything.

economy. The value of products and a
high-quality lifestyle remain inexpensive
there by comparison with much of the rest
of the world. Accommodations at even the
best hotels are affordable, and most come
with the luxuries any world traveler wants
and expects. The mantra we found in
Thailand was “live our lifestyle.”
Aside from rich cultural offerings,
Thailand is one of the few places in the world
that you can visit and enjoy a lifestyle that
would come at a much higher price almost
anywhere else today. Food, accommodations
and, yes, golf are still inexpensive in Thailand,
as are a multitude of luxury services including
famed Thai massages. For many tourists, a
primary benefit of visiting this incredible
place is the lifestyle that can be enjoyed at a
relatively modest price.
For golfers, the benefits are even greater.
This gorgeous, exotic country is home to
some of the most beautiful golf courses in
the world. According to the Thai Golf
Association, there are more than 200 golf
courses just from Phuket to Pattaya and on
to Bangkok.
Siam Country Club Clubhouse
Most golf courses also offer a high level
of amenities. In Thailand, for example, after
finishing a round of golf, it’s normal to
proud of his club and of the lifestyle that his
country offers. “Here it’s all about how we
live,” he says. “Where else can you live the

lifestyle we enjoy? Manicures, pedicures
and massages are just a few of the luxuries
easily afforded here. Thailand offers a
lifestyle found nowhere else.”
Another first-class facility is Lotus
Valley Golf Resort. This Gary Player design
is about an hour’s drive from Bangkok.
Opened in 1998, Lotus Valley is a 7,015yard championship layout with a modern
clubhouse complete with Japanese baths.
Greens fees vary from about $50 to $120
per round, depending on the time of day,
season, etc.
The Kingdom of Thailand offers
championship golf with water features, fruit
trees and much of what you would find
anywhere in the world. One golf course,
however, also includes monkeys. Seriously,
monkeys everywhere. Bangpra Golf Club
north of Pattaya was built in 1958 and
updated in 1988. This mature facility is one
of the prettiest courses in the area, and it can
be played for approximately $35-$90,
depending on time and day of play.
In Chiang Mai, in northwestern
Thailand, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf and
Spa Resort offers every conceivable

amenity. This family facility provides for
spectacular
mountain
golf
at
approximately $100 a round for visitors.
Opened in 2005, the Lee Schmidt and
Brian Curley design plays to a par 72 at
7,003 yards.
Another excellent hotel in the area is
Siripanna Villa Resort & Spa, with just 74
spacious, luxurious rooms and villas.
Gorgeous teak furniture throughout and
an abundance of luxury touches make this
a property not to be missed.
Chiang Mai is famous for the Maesa
Elephant Camp, a conservation center
with some 70 elephants on property that
have been trained to entertain thousands
of visitors from around the world. Most
impressive are the Guinness World Record
and Ripley’s Believe it or Not noted
painting elephants. These highly-trainedpachyderms-turned-highly-paid-artists
commanded $50,000 for a painting titled
“Lanna,” purchased by a Thai-born U.S.
businessman. Daily painted canvasses sell
for as much as $100. The Elephant Camp
is a must see when visiting Chiang Mai.
Also there is Wat Phra That Doi
Suthep, a Theravada Buddhist temple and
the holiest shrine in northern Thailand.
Built in 1386, the temple is on a
luxurytravel

mountaintop at 3,542 ft. and accessible by 300 steps or via a lift.
The gold-plated temple is home to many shrines, bells, golden
umbrellas and Buddha statues. Thailand has many temples in
every village and city as well as in homes and businesses. The Thai
people are extremely religious and these temples are fascinating
places to visit.

Balisage Bistro
The Coachella Valley currently has
some 500,000 year-round residents, and
even though summer temperatures can
hover in the low 100s, the restaurant scene
is bustling. Maybe it’s because the AC is
free and residents don’t want to turn on
their own stoves to create more heat. But
most likely it’s because the Coachella
Valley has rising stars on its impressive
culinary scene and a slew of fabulous
restaurants to match.
Balisage Bistro(145 N. Gene Autry Trail,
Palm Springs; 760.406.4565) is around the
corner from Palm Springs International
Airport, next to Atlantic Aviation, a private
and charter-plane airport. It cleverly derives
its name from the French term for runway
lighting, since the airport’s runways are a
stone’s throw from the restaurant.
Chef/owner Daniel Villanueva is a recent
transplant from Hollywood, where he
catered to movie sets and movie stars, and he
has already won the hearts and stomachs of
locals and jetsetters.
Balisage offers breakfast, lunch and
dinner, its menu showcasing the familiar
and familiar-with-a-twist. Fresh-baked
breads and pastries and locally sourced
ingredients turn into exceptional meals.
Fresh buttermilk pancakes with berry
compote butter and organic blue agave
syrup, and poached eggs on brioche with
lobster Hollandaise are two of the tasty
breakfast items. Lunch dishes include a
lobster on brioche sandwich with
preserved lemon aioli, baby arugula and
heirloom tomato, and grilled flatbread
pizza with sun-dried tomato goat
cheese, baby greens, apricots, Spanish
chorizo and Manchego cheese. For
dinner, options run the delicious gamut
from paella with sautéed shrimp,
whitefish, mussels, preserved lemon and
saffron Arborio rice to citrus-steamed
baby-back ribs in banana leaves with
orange harissa. Take-out, in-home, inf light and event catering are available.
Open daily 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Appetito (1700 Camino Real, Palm

“Cal-Italian Deli,” meaning its cuisine
showcases a mix of fresh California produce
and imported Italian ingredients and
60

traditions. Managing Partner Patrick Service,
General Manager John Shea and Culinary
Institute of America Chef Chad Shaner have
created an atmosphere and menu that even
Mario Batali would appreciate.
The fresh pastas are handmade daily,
and the Mozzarella and Stracciatella are
made fresh regularly. This is a great spot for
nibbling and sipping. A snack menu
includes a cheese board with walnut bread,
local honey and strawberry preserves;
crispy calamari with spicy romesco sauce;
pea and prosciutto arancini; and marinated
octopus with lima beans.
Several pasta combinations, including
mushroom ravioli with asparagus and
classic linguini and clams, are offered in two
portion sizes. Various panini, flatbreads,
pizzas, salads, sliders and desserts round
out the menu.
A “slushy machine” turns out
incredibly refreshing frozen cocktails to
assuage the summer heat. There’s also a
Negroni bar. Named after Florentine
Count Camillo Negroni, this cocktail is
made of one part gin, one part vermouth
rosso (red, semi-sweet) and one part
Campari, garnished with orange peel. Also
on hand is house-made limoncello. If you’re
yearning for an authentic Italian dining
experience, you can get your fix here
without the expense (and aggravation) of
flying halfway around the world. Open

Morgan’s in the Desert (49-499
Eisenhower Dr., La Quinta; 760.564.7600)

Morgan, who built the La Quinta Hotel in
the 1920s to entertain his Hollywood pals,
Morgan’s is within the 21st century La
Quinta Resort and Spa, which has grown
into one of the top resort and spa properties
on the planet. Morgan’s is a reincarnation of
the ambiance of those early days with the
added culinary magic of three-time James
Beard Award winning chef Jimmy Schmidt
and his team. The menus change every
couple of weeks, and in the summer there
are also special “festival” menus celebrating
ingredients at their peak. From July 29August 11 is the sweet corn and Maine
lobster event, for example. Each has an
optional wine pairing. Menus range from
$45 to $55 per person, excluding tax and
gratuity. The Bar Bites menu offers
exceptional cheeses as well as flatbreads
laden with delicious meats, oils and veggies,
and there’s live music most nights. Dinner
nightly 5:00-10:00 p.m.

a menu and wine list that keep the place

Appetizers include wild-caught Mexican
white shrimp cocktail, Korean barbecued
beef short ribs (Kalbi) and Maryland-style
crab cakes. Of course, the centerpiece here
is the hand-selected USDA Prime corn-fed
beef that’s aged for 21 days and seasoned
with a proprietary award-winning dry rub.
Filet mignon, rib eye and New York steaks
can be enhanced with such possibilities as
Shaft bleu cheese crust or lobster, or served
Oscar style with king crab, asparagus and
Béarnaise. If you’re not a beefeater, there are
other superlative choices, including Duroc
dry-aged pork chops, charbroiled lamb
chops from Superior Farms and seafood
pasta. The long list of sides ranges from
twice-baked potatoes, steakhouse fries and
caramelized onions & wild mushrooms to
white truffle mac & cheese with pancetta.
For the high rollers, there is a selection of
excellent caviar. Open 4:00-10:00 p.m.

J
aguar is mixing things up. In the new F-Type Roadster,
they’ve combined speed with design to give any sports car
on the market a run. The roofline swoops. The rear end is
curves. The front end dips. The roadster is different than
your typical Jaguar sedan. You’ll find hints of the Jaguar DNA
coming through in the interior and grill, but there’s not much
else to suggest the family tree.
The F-Type front end is sleek but hints at the muscle under
the hood. Small vertically oriented headlamps peer ahead like a
beast. Two air vents near the top of the hood add dimension and
much-needed oxygen for the power plant below.
This is the most powerful production model to roll off the
line in the distinguished history of Jaguar. The 5-liter V8 is born
with 550 horsepower. Sadly, it’ll never see its full potential
because Jaguar engineers chose to limit the top speed to 186
mph to keep from having to put tougher tires on the car. At
speeds above 70 mph, a spoiler deploys to reduce lift by an
estimated 265 pounds.
The look of the F-Type is classic sporty roadster. This is such a
departure from Jaguar’s typical design that some inside the
company are calling it a game changer. Whether the game is
changed or not is left to interpretation, but the look is decidedly
different. If the Porsche 911 is the gold standard, the F-Type is
closer to matching it than any Jag in this decade.
The performance should win awards. A zero-to-60 time of 3.5
seconds puts the F-Type in an elite category. This is muscle with
a refined finish. The V8 unleashes 502 pound-feet of torque at its
maximum RPM. This is glue-you-to-the-seat, butterfly-in-yourstomach stuff. The cornering is electronically controlled with
sensors to keep tires from slipping or drifting, making it not only
quick but safe.
The hydroformed aluminum frame is as rigid as a private
school’s honor policy—the frame just does not give in the hard
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014

luxuryAutos
turns. Beams run over the roof and
through the mid section, essentially
replacing the B pillars. This rigidity helps
shrug the ultra-luxe label and add some
street cred in the performance
department. The roof, incidentally, can be
aluminum or full glass for stargazing.
Take a look at the backend of this beast
and you’ll feel your heart race. It’s an
unspoken rule that you’ve made a true
sports car when you can make hearts
pound with an exhaust note and a taillight.
The rear shoulders of the of the F-Type
look strong and sleek, the taillights are thin
and lean.
Inside the F-Type Coupe the softer side
of Jaguar is still in full force. Supple leather
juxtaposes against the recessed dash
instruments. The passenger gets a grab
handle, which leaves no doubt to the true
intent. Bucket racing seats aren’t the kind
in which you’ll want to take a crosscountry road trip, but your daily commute
will have no ill effects.
The fun of driving the F-Type is
engaging the dynamic driving system,

that Jaguar is back in the business of sports
cars.
The game has changed, there’s a Jaguar
loose and the competition should beware.

Iconic American sage, scathing social commentator and
smarty-pants 19th-century author Mark Twain, aka Samuel
Clemens, once famously opined, “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” From across the pond comes a rebuttal from award-winning
UK golf-shoe designer Alex Bartholomew. “It is said you should
invest in two things: a good bed and good shoes, because if you
aren’t in one, you are in the other.”
Bartholomew’s Royal Albartross Golf Shoe collection may not
have a royal pedigree, but it does have superior breeding in new
technology for “those who like the finer things in life,” says
68
DeSertGolf&tenniS • Summer2014
Bartholomew, listing the fine detail of “Shindo lace tips hand-rolled
in Japan.” Wow. We had many questions for this young entrepreneur,
whose innovative line is just beginning to roll out across the globe
exclusively to the most discriminating stores. Like Cinderella’s glass
slipper, whether snazzy or signature style, these golf shoes are a
perfect fit for pros and amateurs. Desert Golf & Tennis sat down
with Bartholomew to get the scoop on exactly what makes these
shoes so fabulous.
Stylereport
DGT Why the intriguing label Royal Albartross for a line of golf
shoes?
AB It was named for the golfing term albatross (a double eagle).
But that was trademarked so I added a few letters and the word
Royal. My name AlBart is in there and my now husband Ross. Not
planned. Meant to be!
DGT Why golf shoes? Why not polo shirts and plaid pants with
matching visors? AB Always a follower of fashion and shoes, it struck me that this
beautiful game played by gentlemen and women in such
surroundings was severely lacking on the shoe front. While at
Brighton University, I came upon the industry by chance, working
for a shoemaker. My final textiles/footwear catwalk collection
showcased a men’s brogue that everyone loved and thought looked
rather golf-like. Having taken up golf, I found the choices for
women were copies of clumsy men’s styles in smaller sizes. It
literally went from there.
DGT What gives Royal Albartross golf shoes the edge on the
competition?
AB The sport remained pretty unaffected by trends and technical
developments in fashion apparel for a very long time while players
obsessed over the newest driver technology. And as a niche market,
that left the door open to us. We walked right in. I was still new to
the business and success doesn’t’ come easy. We have modified our
“last” (model) shapes and focused on comfort, never losing sight of
our brand message. We don’t compete with mainstream brands; we
offer a luxurious design-led golf shoe combined with superior
componentry and materials, down to the finest details.
DGT Workmanship is critical to your brand but isn’t
shoemaking a dying art? AB Our factory is in Montegranaro, Italy, the heart of the Italian
shoemaking region. The area in particular encompasses years of
the real art of manufacturing shoes and handwork. There are
master craftsmen who know everything about materials, fit and
comfort with so many years of experience. It takes eight weeks and
70 hours to finish each pair.
DGT What are the detailing differences you mentioned?
AB The signature toe shapes, polished eyelets, silver lace tips. The
leather stretches in a certain direction; the seams are thinned to
avoid abrasion. All trims are designed for heavy foot-traffic wear
with a moisture barrier and anti-microbial treatment protection.
Each pair is a finely tuned and very practical work of art that arrives
in an RA shoebox, whether it’s a new riff on a classic saddle shoe or
a sassy style in glossy patent leather or exotic snakeskin.
DGT Where does comfort come in?
AB People expect to have to wear in their shoes before venturing
on the course and I really enjoy seeing their faces when they try on
a pair of Royal Albartross for the first time. These shoes are
remarkably comfortable; the linings are super soft and the insoles
very cushioned. We put this down to our factory’s secret material
and construction combinations—the shoes really do mold to your
feet very quickly. We enjoy a technical partnership with Champ Qlok cleats and receptacles for traction and support. I’d challenge any
serious golfer to find a better choice in golf shoes.
DGT What’s in the future for Royal Albartross Golf
Shoes? Does her majesty wear them? What about celebs? Any

AB The future is looking bright! Our soft-sole collection has been
so well received, and we have opened a number of key retail

Temple St. Clair
Bulgari
By Alison Elsner

The strongest trends are often those
that incorporate classic elements while
introducing an attention-grabbing twist,
especially in the world of fashion and fine
jewels.
According to Harper’s Bazaar and
FashionAllure.com, one of the hottest
jewelry trends for fall-winter 2014-15 is
the figurative cuff, crafted in different
shapes and worn on one or both wrists. A
cuff has the power to transform a
traditional look into a bold, stylish power
statement.
CUFFS
David Yurman has the trend covered
in two pieces that confidently
complement fall fashion choices. His
Diamond and Silver Starburst Bypass Cuff
Bracelet showcases white diamonds (0.56
tcw) with sterling silver, measuring 1.5
inches wide and 2.5 inches in diameter,
selling for $1,950.
His Labyrinth Double-Loop Cuff with
Diamonds and Gold from the Labyrinth
Collection is designed with a sparkling mix
of sterling silver, 18-karat yellow gold and
pavé diamonds (2.21 tcw). It retails for
$7,800.
Both pieces exhibit the artistry of
Yurman’s talent as a sculptor, the creative
impetus that was the brand’s genesis.
Bulgari also weighs in with some iconic
trend statements for fall, starting with the
Serpenti Tubogas bracelet in pink gold
with semi-pavé diamonds, featuring the
trademark serpent that gracefully wraps
around a woman’s wrist, for $34,100.
For a more modestly priced option, yet
just as cosmopolitan, there’s the Bulgari
Bulgari gold bangle bracelet with
diamonds, available in pink or white gold.
Both bangles are versatile enough to be
flaunted by a man or woman, and each
retails for $7,770.
CHAINS & CHUNKY DESIGNS
Gold chains and chunky pieces galore
also stood out at Fashion Week catwalks
this past Spring in Paris, Milan and New
York, establishing dominance as seasonal
must-haves for fall and winter. Fashionistas
are encouraged to layer their chains and
bulk them up to accentuate the trend even
more.
John Hardy has created a pair of
matching pieces to fit the trend, which
announce one’s entrance but won’t
overwhelm the visual or the cultural
senses. The Naga Collection Ruby, Gold
and Sterling Silver Medium Dragon
Braided Chain Bracelet displays a striking
synergy of braided chains in woven
sterling, clamped with the sharp bite of a
Balinese dragon gleaming in 18-karat
yellow gold and glowing with cabochon
ruby eyes. This seven-inch work of wrist
art is available for $2,600.
To accompany the bracelet, the Naga
Collection Black Sapphire, Ruby, Gold and
Sterling Silver Dragon Ring is a statement
piece featuring a black-and-whitesapphire-encrusted sterling silver dragon
design accented with radiant 18-karat gold
and ruby eyes. The ring is 1.4 inches wide
and is priced at $1,695.
Italian jewelry designer Marco Bicego
provides a variation on the gold-chain
theme with his 18-karat Yellow Gold
Necklace from the Lunaria Collection.
Measuring 18 inches in length and
retailing for $7,410, the organically shaped
18-karat gold stones compose a radiant
and timeless design.
Bicego has artfully combined the gold
trend with another fall trend, dangling and
large earrings, to create a look that’s
effortlessly chic. Pendant and drop earrings
that cascade close to the shoulders suggest
a sense of self-controlled elegance and
dignity.
Marco Bicego’s Lunaria Diamond and
Yellow Gold Drop Earrings, $2,450,
feature a disc of 18-karat yellow gold
engraved with rich, radiant striations. Its
striking detail is showcased within a frame
of diamond pavé (0.21 tcw) and displayed
on a wire of white gold, a drop of 1.15
inches, and width of 0.75 inch.
RINGS
Fashion editors agree that bold rings
remain a trend, especially when they
exhibit precious stones.
Temple St. Clair features its Diamond
and Yellow Gold Vine Ring for $5,500,
from the Classic Gold Collection. A
gorgeous 18-karat yellow gold vine is
edged at either side with glittering
diamonds (0.8 tcw).
David Yurman’s Starburst Medium
Ring with Diamonds blends sterling silver
and pavé diamonds (0.50 tcw). High style
and stunning in its simplicity, it retails for
$1,650.
Bulgari’s day-into-night Intarsio ring
showcases a mosaic of shapes, combining
round and squared insertions of pavé
diamonds and onyx elegantly outlined by
white gold, for $8,150. The Intarsio collection
reflects Mediterranean architecture, deeply
influenced by the arabesque movement.
And, just to ensure men can get in on
the trend, Marco Bicego’s ‘Cairo’ Cigar
Band Ring has a minimalist logo-etched
setting which adds sleek balance to an
artistically textured band, hand cast from
bright 18-karat gold and priced at $3,370.
To really rock the styles for fall, keep
accessories simple to make a trendy piece
pop. The bolder a specific piece, the better
it is to downplay complementary pieces.
