Hot Hot Hot!! With this edition we thought we would spice
things up a bit with some of the “hottest” women in golf—locally,
nationally and internationally. With “hot” being the operative
word here, there are many ladies who are as famous for their looks
around the golf course as for their winning streaks and ability to
play. Case and point; three time Tour winner and Las Vegas
resident Natailie Gulbis, who draws as many fans and galleries as
the top-ranked LPGA players. Gulbis has a huge fan base both for
her considerable talent and her striking good looks. Gracing our
cover, Gulbis is just one of the talented, beautiful women who are
featured throughout this issue of Desert Golf Magazine.
And we didn’t have to go far to find some of these exceptional
women. With a little bit of scouting we discovered Coachella
Valley golfer Lynn Beasley, a highly talented and definitely “hot”
golfer who teaches the biometric mechanics of the game to those
members lucky enough to play out of the Vintage Club in Indian
Wells. Noella Nance, a former model, graduate of UCLA and golfer,
owns and operates a high-end beauty product import company,
while Karen Gottwald is a graduate of the golf management
program at the College of the Desert and now can be found
teaching golf to all ages at the College of the Desert Center in Palm
Desert. Read more about the Coachella Valley women on p. 23
Other “hot” golfers featured in our local segment hail from Las
Vegas. Professional golfer and Stanford graduate Kim Hall is among
them. When Hall isn’t on the golf course, she spends much of her
time on the LPGA Board of Directors. Sisters Nisha and Seema
Sadekar round out the section on Las Vegas. Nisha was an LPGA
player and Canadian and Duramed Futures Tour Player, while
Seema played for UNLV and also participated on the Golf
Channel’s Big Break. Turn to p. 22 for more on Nevada.
Of course it’s not just about women when it comes to golf or
golf charity tournaments. In this issue we feature comedian and
8
DeSertGolfmaGazine • Summer2011
television star George Lopez and his charity tournament
benefitting the Lopez Foundation, which helps to create positive,
permanent change for underprivileged children and adults
confronting challenges in education and health, as well as
community awareness about kidney disease and organ donation.
We hope you will support this important charity tournament;
read more about it starting on p. 24.
Also in this issue you will find our recommendations for the
hottest dining spots, particularly those restaurants located in and
around the Coachella Valley’s top public golf courses; turn to p. 46.
On a sad note, the corporate powers have decided to strip the
name of Bob Hope from the title of the Tour’s most popular
celebrity tournament. After 51 years of hosting golf’s most famous
entertainers and sports legends, the Bob Hope Classic will be
known hence forward as the “Humana Challenge.” How sad it is
that the marketing geniuses couldn’t see the value of the legendary
comedian’s name and draw. Why not the Hope Humana
Challenge?
Change is inevitable and, yes, desert charities will continue to
receive monies from the event. That, after all, is the bigger picture
here. Yet it seems to me that this event will have lost its luster and
an incredible opportunity to capitalize on its storied history, to say
nothing of the tireless support of those who were committed to
this event, including the Hope family, volunteers, superstars and
the local community.
As always, it’s our goal to keep you informed about all the
happenings across the desert region—the hottest people, places
and events—in the world of golf. We hope you enjoy this issue, and
don’t forget to download the Desert Golf Magazine app to your
smart phone or iPad.

The saying is old but it resonates just as loudly today as it ever has:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And on the LPGA Tour, sexy
and beauty happen to go hand-in-hand with beautiful swings,
stunning golf courses and worldwide appeal.
“The trend in the last 10 years or so is that women are proud to
be beautiful and athletic,” says LPGA player Natalie Gulbis. “They
can show more confidence and poise and be beautiful inside and
outside as well.” Gulbis acknowledges that sex appeal has become
an important component of the LPGA Tour. “Attractive
women definitely draw more attention to the
Tour,” she notes, “and there are some very
attractive women who move the needle,
players like Cristie Kerr, Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel and Grace
Park.”
Gulbis says there is also more interest these days in fashion, in
what the players wear and how they look. “I’ve been with Adidas for
about 10 years and their clothes are fitted very well,” she said. “The
cuts are more womanly and more flattering whereas a lot of fashions
used to be boxy. The current fashions are definitely more appealing
to the players.”
Here’s a look at a dozen sexy women who also happen to be
extraordinary athletes. There are many others, but these 12 are
definitely adding to the allure of women’s golf.
Gulbis attended the University of Arizona
where she won four titles and was an AllAmerican in 2001 before turning pro in
2002. She’s won more than $4.1 million in her
career, and has one victory, the 2007 Evian
Masters (she was also on the winning team
with Kerr and Pressel in the 2007 Wendy’s 3Tour Challenge). She’s widely known for her
off-course endeavors, including representing
Adidas,
Canon,
MasterCard,
RSM
McGladrey, TaylorMade, Sentient Jets, Winn
Grips and others.
Gulbis calls Kerr, one of her best friends on the
Tour, “very sophisticated.” Kerr, who turned
pro in 1997, has won more than $12 million
on Tour and has 14 career victories. Coming
into 2011, she has gone seven straight seasons
winning more than $1 million.

Since turning pro in 2006, Pressel has won
more than $3.75 million on Tour with two
victories—the 2007 Kraft Nabisco
Championship and the 2008 Kapalua LPGA
Classic. She also represented the United
States in the 2007 and 2009 Solheim Cups.
Before turning pro, Pressel was a five-time
Rolex Junior All-American.
Blomqvist, who was born in Finland, starred
on the LET before joining the LPGA Tour in
2006. She had her best year in 2008, winning
more than $400,000 and recording a thirdplace finish in the Safeway International. One
of her career highlights is the 62 she fired in
the third round of the 2004 Women’s British
Open, a record low for women in a major (that
mark has since been tied by Lorena Ochoa).
The LPGA star and Stanford student has won
more than $2 million on Tour while juggling a
full school schedule. Between attending
classes at prestigious Stanford, she’s found
time to win twice on Tour, the 2009 Lorena
Ochoa Invitational and the 2010 CN
Canadian Women’s Open, and she was a
member of the victorious U.S. 2009 Solheim
Cup team. At six feet, she’s one of the tallest
women on Tour and definitely stands out
when it comes to fashion.

A pro since 2000, Park has earned more than
$5.5 million and has six career victories on
Tour, the last coming in 2004. She has a career
low round of 61. Park started in golf at a young
age, winning 55 national junior, college and
amateur tournaments before competing—
and making the cut—in three LPGA events in
1999 while still an amateur.
Born In Pamplona, Spain, the 22-year-old took
up the game at age 11 and had a successful
junior career that included being part of the
winning team in the 2005 Junior Solheim
Cup. At the age of 18 she qualified for the LET
(Ladies European Tour), and joined the LPGA
Tour in 2010. She has won more than
$320,000 to date.
Koch, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour,
spends much of her time these days on the
Ladies European Tour where she had five top10 finishes in 2010, including a second place
in the Lalla Meryem Cup. During her LPGA
days (1995-2010), she won the 2001 LPGA
Corning Classic and the 2005 Corona
Morelia Championship and earned more
than $4.4 million. She’s also played on four
Solheim Cup teams (2000, 2002, 2003,
2005).

This year is looking good for Pettersen, who
has claimed three top-10s in five starts in
2011. Over her career, she has six LPGA Tour
wins, the last coming at the 2009 CN
Canadian Women’s Open, and she has won
almost $7 million on the LPGA Tour. She
turned pro in 2000 after winning the 2000
World Amateur Championship and the
British Girls Championship in 1999.
The ‘Pink Panther’ won the 2004 LPGA Final
Qualifying Tournament by five shots and
immediately turned pro, initiating a career
that has included nine wins and more than $9
million in earnings. Her best year to date was
2008, when she won four events and made
more than $1.8 million. She played on the U.S.
Solheim Cup team in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
Best known for her appearances on Golf
Channel’s Big Break series (Sandals and
Dominican Republic), Brown attended
Michigan State and had four college victories.
She turned professional in 2008 and tied for
14th at the 2010 LPGA Final Qualifying
Tournament to earn her card for 2011.

Gal broke into the winner’s circle in March by
claiming the Kia Classic as she outlasted Jiyai Shin.
And she did it in fine style, hitting a wedge on the
final hole to within two feet of the pin for a closing
birdie and the title. She turned pro in 2008 after
tying for 14th at the LPGA qualifying
tournament. As an amateur, she represented
Germany in the European Team Championships
from 2003-2007.

Summer is heating up and the global golf world is on fire. Desert Golf Magazine is creating its first ever “Hot List” of the
hottest women playing international golf. These ladies are smokin’ and they have the game to go with the looks.
This Aussie is making some waves on the Ladies
European Tour with two runner-up finishes this
year. Not only can she golf, she claims one of her
hobbies is boxing. Watch out boys, you might
have your hands full with Nikki.
We think Anna is sidelined with an injury right
now, do we have any volunteers who want to
help nurse her back to health? This Aussie is a
standout both professionally and personally.
She's making all the highlight reels and we're
happy to watch them over and over.
This Spanish beauty is the first player since
1972 to win both the Women's British
Amateur Championship and British Girls
Amateur Championship. While at the
University of Southern California she was a fourtime NCCA/All-American.
You have to hand it to the Russians, they produce
some sport goddesses. Verchenova is full-time on
the Ladies European Tour, but she has a fan club
waiting for her when she decides to bring her
talents across the pond.

She's a fiery redhead from Sweden with the guts
to say she's aiming for world No. 1. At just 5'3”,
she isn't supermodel dimensions, but she has the
intangibles that make her a contender in our
department.
Though she’s making a name for herself on the
course in 2011, she created quite a lot of buzz
when she posed naked in a bathtub full of golf
balls for the Australian Ladies Professional Golf
Tour calendar in 2009. Spunky and hygienic —
we like it!
Another Spanish gem, Azahara was named
the 2010 LPGA Rookie of the Year. She
exudes talent. Her game is more finesse
than power, fueled by hatred of failure.
She's a winner in our eyes.
Tanya's time at USC was a huge success as she
and her team won the national title. She's
working hard on her golf game and we're pulling
for her to make a breakthrough in 2011.

Lindberg moved from Sweden to Oklahoma to
play college golf for the Oklahoma State
Cowboys. She got her Tour card and hasn't
looked back. She's the prototype Swede: She
loves to ski, workout and eat Thai food…wait…
Thai food? Maybe she has a spicy side we don't
know about.
Our neighbor to the north, Samantha has the girlnext-door look. She loves the NFL and sleeping in.
She might be the perfect girlfriend eh? Richdale
can spend Sunday's at our place anytime.
Ueda is the only player in our list that says karaoke
is one of her hobbies; we'll let her sing to us
anytime. She's one spark away from a brush fire in
terms of her game. She rarely misses a cut and
we're expecting her to break out and become a
superstar any minute.
You can't pronounce Tania's last name so don't
even try. She's from Spain and enjoys
snowboarding and going to the beach when she
isn't on the course. When she needs some
sunscreen, we have some volunteers to provide a
good rub down. She was part of the 2009 Solheim
Cup Team.

To Kim Hall, sexy has many different connotations. “The looks part of it is
pretty low. Personality goes a long way and confidence is also very important,” she
says. “Golf is such a male dominated sport that if you’re playing in a pro-am with
men, it goes such a long way to be confident enough to joke with them and be
smart enough to hold a conversation for four or five hours of play.”
Hall graduated from Stanford in 2003 and married Casey Hall, an Air Force
major, in 2004. Hall joined the LPGA Tour in 2006 and played for five years
before Maggie, the couple’s daughter, was born in November, 2010. She’s still
active with the LPGA as player vice president on the LPGA Board of Directors.
That’s right, these two are sisters and are making a meteoric climb
in the world of women’s golf. They are showing the golf world that
beauty and brains are an amazing combination. The two, originally
from Canada but now living in Las Vegas, have been making a major
impact in golf with their play as well as their fashion, design and
marketing prowess. They have both been playing golf since before
they were teens.
Nisha attended two years at the prestigious IMG Sports
Academy and went on to be a captain on the University of Missouri
golf team. She followed that up with stints on the LPGA, CN
Canadian and Duramed Future Tours.
Seema played at UNLV where she broke many records and still
holds the Mountain West Conference’s career low championship
round of 66. She is pursuing her dream of full-time play on the LPGA
Tour and has played on the LPGA, CN Canadian and Duramed
Future Tours, and she’s also become a fashion and golf hit on the Golf
Channel’s Big Break.
Off the course, Nisha started Play Golf Designs, Inc., in 2006. The
company helps showcase women’s golf, both from a playing
standpoint and a fashion standpoint. Nisha and Seema are teaming
up in Play Golf Designs, Inc. to help bring out the best in women’s golf
— on and off the golf course.

Motivated. Selfless. Entrepreneur. These words epitomize Lynn Beasley, a sports
performance specialist based at The Vintage Golf Club in Indian Wells, Calif.
As the founder of the Lynn Beasley Sports Performance System, Beasley is focused on
assisting golfers of all ages and skill levels as they strive to advance their playing capabilities,
whether they are competing on the golf course or practicing at their homes. Through her
diagnostic 3D training program, Beasley assesses clients’ fitness levels and evaluates their
restrictions in order to perfect their golf swings, enhance their performances and
improve their overall health.
As a result, Beasley’s clients begin to play — and score — better.
“It is satisfying to help people improve their swing and their golf game so they
may be able to extend their playing careers,” Beasley says. “But, it is even more
fulfilling to realize that I have helped my clients feel better, to know they now have
a higher quality of life. For me, there is no greater feeling in the world than that.”
For as long as she can recall, Noella Nance has been passionate about the game of golf,
both as a spectator and as a participant.
“Golf has always been my sport,” Nance said. “I remember joining my middle school
golf team and spending summers with my grandparents on the links in Pebble Beach.”
A former model and a graduate of UCLA, Nance resides in the Palm Desert area,
where she owns and operates a high-end beauty product import company, Estella. In
addition to Palm Desert’s pleasant climate, Nance is particularly attracted to the
area’s gorgeous golf courses.
“Palm Desert has some of the most stunning courses you will find anywhere,
from Madison Club and Vintage to Big Horn and PGA West.”
For Nance, golf is incomparable to any other sport in the way it allows her to
compete, have fun in the great outdoors and relax.
“I love the quiet, meditative state that I obtain when I am really lost in the
game,” she says. “It is an addiction.”
How often does an individual discover a career he or she is completely passionate about —
a true calling that leads to lifelong fulfillment?
As a graduate of the College of the Desert’s Golf Management Program, Karen Gottwald
recognized her life’s calling by combining two of her greatest passions, golf and teaching.
Since graduating, she has had the opportunity to teach at the College Golf Center in Palm
Desert, where she works with clients of all ages.
“I especially love working with children,” Gottwald says. “For me, watching students
develop not only as golfers, but as young adults, is the greatest reward of my job.”
At the same time, nothing can compare to the joy Gottwald experiences as she helps
countless individuals realize their golfing potential.
“When I improve my clients’ current skill sets, I discover true happiness,” Gottwald said.
“Not too many people can say they actually love what they do, but I can. I have the best job in
the world.”

T
he trials and tribulations of life
for actor and comedian George
Lopez are played out weekly on
television. The comedian’s
Lopez Tonight show is one of late-night
TV’s hottest shows, spotlighting Lopez’s
childhood, Hispanic heritage and his
milestones to stardom. His rise to fame
may be rooted in the Latino community,
but the actor has transcended all cultural
boundaries.
Lopez learned early in life that giving to
others doesn’t always come easy.
Abandoned by his parents, Lopez was
raised by his grandmother who paid little
The Lopez Foundation helps to create
positive,
permanent
change
for
underprivileged children and adults
confronting challenges in education and
health, and works to increase community
awareness about kidney disease and organ
donation.
With an unabashed addiction to the
game of golf, Lopez saw a tournament as a
good fit for his foundation. In 2008 he
called upon his celebrity friends to
participate in the first George Lopez
Celebrity Golf Classic. It was an instant
success and has become a yearly tradition.
In May of 2011, the 4th Annual
Bill Hammond, Bryan Kellan, Cedric the Entertainer,
Christina Kim, George Lopez and Mike Dunleavy
attention to him. With a knack for making
people laugh, Lopez honed his talent and
was soon on the stage with a stand-up
comedy routine.
The comedian and actor has been
extraordinarily successful in front of a
camera, but a life-changing event taught
him that helping others can save a life. In
2005 he was diagnosed with a genetic
disorder that caused his kidneys to
deteriorate. His wife, Ann (now separated),
was quick to come to his aid, donating one
of her kidneys. The operation was a success
and Lopez immediately signed up to be a
spokesperson for the National Kidney
Foundation, at the same time starting The
Lopez Foundation.
“What the Foundation does,” Lopez
says, “ is give kids the opportunity to get
away from hospital beds and doctor’s
offices. The kids go to a camp where the
whole camp is fully equipped with all the
equipment they would get if they were at a
hospital. Yet they get to have fun and be
normal kids for two weeks a year. It doesn’t
sound like much, but when you’re sick,
these are special days.”
Kevin Nealon, Stephen Baldwin, William
Devane and Glen Frey, to name a few.
Among the sponsors for the event were
Audi and the Rusnak Auto Group,
American Airlines, Warner Bros., TBS,
Century Healthcare, Roy P. and Sheri
Disney and Labcorp/National Genetics.
The tournament format was a two man
modified best ball of fivesomes with full
handicap, and a noon shotgun start.
Once the tournament was over, guests
were treated to an evening party with
dinner, entertainment and an auction.
Auction items were plentiful and many
were donated by Lopez’s friends, such as
the signed conga drum from Carlos
Santana. Signed sports memorabilia
seemed to draw a lot of attention as did the
rare signed Scotty Cameron golf bag. The
auction alone raised about $100,000.
No party is a hit without great
entertainment and, of course, Lopez had to
take center stage and make fun of his
friends in his own quick-witted style. The
group Boogie Nights rocked the house and
kept the dance floor full, but the big
moment of the night came when Chaka
Khan surprised Lopez by singing happy
birthday to him to mark his 50th big day.
Lopez was the first to consider this
year’s tournament a huge success for all
involved, especially the Lopez Foundation,
and the staff is already planning for next

The sold-out crowd was ready to play golf,
party and donate money, and the celebrity
lineup was a who’s who of Hollywood.

K
evin Sorbo’s Herculean strength
is not merely limited to his
fictional pursuits. Rather, the
popular star of Andromeda and
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys has long
put his formidable muscle into sharing the
fruits of his success via charitable efforts and
this year is no different. The actor and director
will host his 3rd Annual Kevin Sorbo
Celebrity Golf Tournament Sept. 23-25.
After the first two chapters of the event
were played at the DragonRidge Country
Club in Henderson, Nev., year No. 3 will

The tournament will be played on Eagle
Vines’ Johnny Miller-designed (in part)
course situated on 27 acres of working
vineyards, and wine tastings are scheduled
for golfers and non-players alike. But grapes
won’t be the sole elixir of what is shaping up
to be Sorbo’s biggest and best event to date.
Also included in the festivities are a Friday
evening wine-and-cheese pairing to
welcome participants to Silverado, followed
by the tournament and Sorbo’s birthday
About the tournament’s structure,
Sorbo (who’s still vying to win his own
event), says, “Many of the foursomes are

your playing a little bit. I am not a fan of the
scramble format.”
The combination of drives and vines,
great friends and a worthy cause has Sorbo
pumped-up for September.
“We have a whole new location in Napa
Valley, and great feedback from the celebs
we have contacted,” the host concludes.
“With the past attendees and the merger of
new sponsors and golfers, we feel this year
will continue to grow the event for many
years to come.”

Kevin Sorbo and a lucky foursome
take place at the spectacular Eagle Vines
Golf Course and Silverado Resort in beatific
Napa Valley, Calif. The venerable getaway
features the valley’s largest spa, coupled with
10 swimming pools and 16 tennis courts.
“It is just a very private place to escape to.
We already have many requests from the
players to bring their spouses to make a
romantic weekend out of the trip,” Sorbo
says of the new locale that he began
planning for immediately after the close of
his 2010 event.
The tournament benefits “A World Fit
For Kids!,” an L.A.-based nonprofit that is
dedicated to preparing youth for fit and
fulfilling lives via youth leadership programs
and after-school activities. Sorbo has been a
part of the organization for nearly 15-years,
and has raised nearly a quarter of a million
dollars for the cause in the tournament’s
two-year history.
“We continue to grow,” Sorbo says of the
program’s success. “The results speak for
themselves. We have a 98 percent
graduation rate with kids in our program
compared to a 54 percent dropout rate for
those kids not in the program. We have a 67
party on Saturday night. On Sunday, from
Noon-6 p.m., guests will enjoy the Cohen
Fall Charity Music Festival in Sonoma Valley,
featuring The Doobie Brothers’ 25th
Anniversary Charity Concert, along with
performances by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Leon
Russell and Jim Messina.
Noted musicians aren’t the only name
draws to Sorbo’s weekend. Past tournament
participants include a host of celebs from all
fields of sports and entertainment. The host
has already received commitments from
numerous actors, including Cheech Marin,
Joe Mantegna, Craig T. Nelson, Dennis
Haysbert, Patrick Warburton and Ed
Marinaro.
Past tournaments have also included a
cache of acclaimed athletes such as Marcus
Allen, Julius Irving, Joe Theismann and
Kenny Lofton, meaning Sorbo’s third
version will no doubt have its share of those
familiar to the stage of competition.
When not drawn in by the idyllic
surroundings, competitors of all types will
also duel in a Hole-in-One competition
during the round. The prize? A Spyker
sports car valued at a fast $250,000.

E
ven before the first ball was struck at the recent Els For
Autism Golf Challenge event at the TPC Scottsdale, the
emotional foundation for the event had already been
established at this particular qualifier.
On May 2, the second of 32 nationwide or “Super Regional”
events in the Els For Autism Challenge was held at Scottsdale’s home
for the Waste Management Phoenix Open on the PGA Tour. And all
of the participants already had a stake in the tournament’s success
and failure because of their dedication and intent to the cause.
In its first year, the Els For Autism Golf Challenge is raising funds
for South African Tour player Ernie Els’ foundations and initiatives
centered around fighting Autism. The qualifiers from each of the 32
Super Regionals qualify for the national championship event Oct. 23-
The top fundraisers compete in a national final at the exclusive
Cascata Golf Club, while qualifiers who play their way into the finals
will compete at the TPC Summerlin, both in the Las Vegas area.
Teams who qualify for the finals will need only to get themselves to
Vegas; all other expenses are covered.
Els himself will be at the finals, hosting the massive parties and
South African barbecue for each event. He’ll also take his game onto
the course to take on the top five teams from the low-net division in a
four-hole shootout. Els, pairing with four to-be-announced PGA
Tour professionals, and a team will be eliminated each hole until a
champion is determined.
The Scottsdale event featured several “Wounded Warriors,”
veterans whose participation in the event was made possible
TPC Scottsdale
24 in the greater Las Vegas, Nev., area. As of June 3, the challenge had
conducted five Super Regionals and raised over $250,000.
Els, who’s son Ben was diagnosed with autism four years ago, has
been out front in the awareness and research related to autism,
fundraising even prior to establishing the nationwide golf
tournament-based initiative. A major thrust of the fundraising efforts
are to complete and provide future funding for the Els For Autism
Center For Excellence based in Palm Beach County, Fla. The center is
the base for projects that will offer a global, digital and online learning
program combined with a sparkling new research and education
center.
The challenge represents a substantial revenue stream enabling
completion and expansion of the project and facilities. However,
while the cause is never far from anyone’s mind, the plan is to provide
steady, positive distractions for the Super Regional qualifiers at this
year’s national championship.
“It’s one big party,” says Susan Hollo, executive director for the Els
For Autism Foundation. “There are parties for each of the two finals
events, and Ernie will even hosts a South African barbecue.”
While raising money is the primary goal for players and
organizers alike, there is the small matter of the golf competition at
the events nationwide, where players/teams have two ways to reach
a national championship final: by playing their way in, or by
becoming top fundraisers.
through a donation from The Thunderbirds, the longtime host
organization for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and was
made under the auspices of the PGA Tour’s Birdies for the Brave
military outreach program. Tournament chairman Alex Clark
presented the donation, which also allowed for members of the
Southwest Autism and Research Center to participate.
“The Thunderbirds and the Waste Management Phoenix Open
are proud to support the 2011 Els For Autism Golf Challenge with a
$2,000 donation,” Clark said. “We applaud Ernie Els’ efforts to fight
autism. Our work locally with the Southwest Autism Research and
Resource Center has given us great insight into the autism epidemic
and reason for hope that children on the spectrum can become more
productive members of society.”
The series qualifiers continue nationwide through September,
and two Southern California events are still on the schedule. Super
Regionals will be held at Newport Beach’s Pelican Hill Golf Club on
Sept. 6, and Fairbanks Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe on Sept. 19. For
information on the events and the foundation, visit E4Agolf.com
“[Ernie Els] is heavily involved in the event, and everyone is
passionate about the cause,” Hollo says. “So it’s a wonderful
tournament and a lot of good is going to come from it.”

wisdom, longevity and determination.
Hills and Forrest designed Journey at
Pechanga with a keen sensitivity to
preserving the historic tribal lands and rich
culture of the Pechanga people. Journey
winds its way along and over Pechanga
Creek, taking full advantage of the
dramatic rise and fall of the terrain. “You
just don’t see these types of elevation
changes at any other course in Southern
California,” says Scott Mallory, Journey’s
director of golf.
What also sets Journey apart is that
almost all of the holes are separated from
Pechanga’s round bar
Pool Cabanas
T
he name Pechanga means “place
where the water drips,” a
description very much in
keeping with the abundant
natural water features on this magnificent
golf course in Temecula, Calif. Built on the
ancestral lands of the Pechanga Band of
Luiseno Indians, and embracing the
Pechanga tribe’s deep reverence for the
land, Journey at Pechanga follows the rise
and fall of the rugged terrain as it snakes its
way through the Temecula Valley’s
canyons and ravines.
This exceptional layout was designed
by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest. It hugs a
massive boulder-strewn mountain and
features striking panoramas, abundant
wildlife and 300 feet of exhilarating
elevation changes. The numerous natural
water features add both challenge and
beauty to the intriguing layout. For a true
challenge, step onto the Copper Tees that
play to 7,219 yards, or try the White Tees at
6,276 yards. Either will test your game as
you enjoy the sheer beauty of this course.
Golfweek Magazine ranked Journey at
Pechanga #70 among the Best Resort
Courses for 2011, and it has only improved
under the watchful eye of golf-course
superintendent John Martinez. Perhaps
the most notable feature of the land is “The
Great Oak,” one of the largest naturalgrowing, coastal live oak trees in the United
Paisano’s
States and estimated to be 850 to 1,500
years old. To the Pechanga people, the land
and the Great Oak that stands upon it
carry deep meaning that transcends mere
physical presence. The Great Oak has
come to embody the very identity and
character of the Pechanga band: strength,
one another, promoting an aura of isolated
relaxation. If Journey at Pechanga has a
theme, it is variety — particularly in terms
of topography. The front and back nines
are markedly different. The first nine holes
meander through old oaks and present
many elevation changes, while the back

HotGear
O
ne of the giants of early women’s golf was Joyce
Wethered, who won the Ladies British Amateur
when she was 19 and is now in the World Golf Hall of
Fame. Bobby Jones wrote of Wethered, “I have not
played golf with anyone, man or woman, amateur or professional,
who made me feel so utterly outclassed.” Willie Wilson, a Scottish
professional, wrote: “Good swing? My God, man, she could hit a
ball 240 yards on the fly while standing barefoot on a cake of ice.”
Wethered started playing using clubs with hickory shafts.
Thankfully, women have a wider variety of options today and the
quality of women’s clubs continues to improve. Most of the top
women professionals use men’s clubs with one significant
difference: look in the bags of women golfers and you’ll find more
hybrids and fairway woods. Rarely will you find 4-irons; instead,
you’ll find 9-woods. Even 5-irons are being replaced by hybrids.
CLUBS
Taking a cue from the pros, women amateur golfers should also
use plenty of hybrids and fairway woods for a couple of reasons:
they make it easier to get the ball in the air and to hit the ball
further, and they’re more forgiving. A driver with a higher loft, close
to 14 degrees, is also a good choice and will help women golfers
generate more distance.
Women tend to have slower clubhead speeds and sometimes
need help getting the ball in the air. As a
result, women’s clubs tend to have softer
shafts, larger heads and more offset.
Several manufacturers make clubs
and sets specifically for women.
Cobra’s Lady Blue Sapphire 12Piece Full Set ($699) includes a
titanium driver, a fairway wood,
hybrids, wide-sole irons, plus a
putter and attractive bag. Those
in search of a full set should also
consider the Adams Ladies Idea
A7OS Mist 14-Piece Set ($799).
It’s a lot of technology for the
money and includes three low-profile fairway woods plus hybrid
irons and a lightweight cart bag.
Nancy Lopez is one of the most famous names in women’s golf
and she produces a full line of golf products for women, including
custom-fitted golf clubs. Named after her daughters Torri, Ashley,
and Erinn, the TAE series
includes drivers, fairway
woods and hybrid irons. The
driver is forged titanium
with an offset head for
maximum forgiveness; it also
has the weight positioned in
the sole and back of the club
for a higher launch with
slower clubhead speeds. At
less than $150, it’s an excellent
value. For additional values, visit
‘Nancy’s Garage Sale’ on her
website, nancylopezgolf.com.
Her line also includes some full
sets in the $699 price range—
again, an excellent value.
Square Two sells a line of women’s putters, the ‘Light and Easy’
Putters. These feature stainless-steel, mallet-style heads and
polymer inserts, and they come in three shaft lengths. They retail
for $49. Ping is one of the few manufacturers providing full custom
fitting for putters. Its Faith series is designed specifically for women
and comes in three classic Ping designs: Answer, Craz-E and WackE ($119-$149).
Ping also provides a full line
of women’s clubs. The Faith
Driver ($249) comes in 12and 14-degree lofts for
higher launch angle; an
external sole weight pad
increases the moment of
inertia (MOI) for low spin.
The Faith Iron/Hybrid Set
($799) has an attractive
graphite finish; the set
includes forgiving short
irons and two hybrids
replacing the No. 5 and No.
6 irons.
There is absolutely no law that says women cannot use men’s
clubs; however, it’s extremely important to get professional fitting
from a golf shop or an LPGA or PGA professional. Golfers with
slower clubhead speeds will find it extremely difficult to be
consistent using clubs fitted with stiffer shafts, and they’ll find it
especially difficult to hit drivers with lower lofts.
SHOES
Joyce Wethered and early lady golfers tended to play golf in
long skirts and even jackets. Today’s golf clothing is
more colorful and more
functional. Golf shoes are
especially striking. Go
to FootJoy’s website
(footjoy.com)
for
custom options, and
ladies who want to
make
a
serious
statement will love the
Snake
Print
ve r s i o n
of
the
LoPro
collection. Women
who play extensively
in hot weather should
consider
Dawgs
Women’s Golf Spirit Shoes, which
combine the functionality of golf shoes with the
comfort of sandals. They also come in a wide range of colors and
styles and feature full arch support. Dawgs (dawgsgolf.com) offer a
lightweight alternative to traditional golf shoes.

hether you are buying a
primary residence, a
second home or an
investment property, it is
important not just to know your options,
but also the pros and cons of each option.
Among the home-buying options these
days are short sales. How much do you
know about them? Do you have short-sale
phobia? Do you feel a shortness of breath
when a property is listed as a short sale?
What is a short sale anyway?
A short sale occurs when a home is in
foreclosure and the lender agrees to accept
definitely do your due diligence on the
property.
CALIFORNIA: La Quinta
PGA West has six championship golf
courses, including the Arnold Palmer
Private Course, which annually hosts the
Bob Hope Classic. The 2,200-acre
property also has a wealth of other
amenities and, of course, a variety of real
estate options, among them a short sale.
The home is listed for $825,000, but is
“Zestimated” on Zillow at $943,500 and
was valued at $1.9 million back in 2007. Set
PGA West
less than the amount that is owed on the
property before the property goes to
auction. Banks only agree to this because
history has proven that if residents leave a
foreclosed home and the property sits for
months without proper care, they lose 1520 percent of the value for the asset. Today,
most banks streamline the short-sale
process down to a couple of months to
avoid depreciation, as opposed to recent
years when a short sale could take as long as
a year to close.
A short-sale property can be worth the
wait; however, it is important to know the
right questions to ask before making an
offer. There can be drawbacks to short
sales, and they aren’t always a good value in
the market. Always do your homework,
choose a realtor who has short-sale
experience, get a home inspection and
on the Greg Norman Course, this is a
highly upgraded and well maintained
home that has gorgeous curb appeal and
fabulous views of the course. There are
four bedrooms and five baths in this
elegant residence, and entertaining is a
must with a Great Room, formal dining
room, gourmet kitchen, built-in bar,
shutters, wood floors, custom paint and
many more upgrades. Expansive outdoor
living space offers a lot of privacy and lush
landscaping, as well as room for recreation
and socializing at the pool, spa and on the
large covered patio.
PGA West can truly be called
presidential—presidents Bill Clinton,
George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford have all
played here. These six courses have been
carved into the majestic Coral Mountains
by five golf legends: Arnold Palmer, Tom
Weiskopf, Pete Dye, Greg Norman and
Jack Nicklaus (who crafted two courses).
There are also three clubhouses, a fitness
center and tennis courts, and there’s a
strong social membership at this club in
addition to all of the top-notch amenities.
Perhaps this home is right for you.
NEVADA: Las Vegas
“About 20 percent of Las Vegas
homeowners who owe at least $750,000
are seeking short sales,” according to Jamie
Cogburn, a Las Vegas plaintiff’s attorney
who says he has handled 350 such sales
and is working on 200 more. One of his
clients is a doctor with a home now valued
at about half its $1 million mortgage.
“You’ve got to cut your losses at some
point,” Cogburn adds, “just like with a
stock.”
Las Vegas has had a challenging market
to say the least, as noted in reports
published on richdadwisdom.com. Home
values have plunged 58 percent since the
2006 peak, the most of the 20
metropolitan areas that are tracked by the
S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Las
Vegas realtors reported that prices fell 7.4
percent in March from a year earlier, to a
median $125,950. Almost 70 percent of
Las Vegas area homeowners with
mortgages were underwater at the end of
2010, meaning they owed more than the
value of the property, according to
CoreLogic, a real estate information
company. And RealtyTrac, an information
provider, reported in April that among
cities with a population of more than
200,000, Las Vegas has led the nation in
the pace of foreclosure actions since
November 2009, with one of every 31
homes being subject to a filing in the first
quarter of this year.
There are numerous short sales in the
Las Vegas area, and some of them could be
an excellent buy for a home or an
investment property. That said, just
because it is a short sale or a foreclosure
does not mean it is a good value. “Buyer
beware” definitely applies. This is a new
game and the players and rulebooks seem
to vary with every transaction. In today’s
turbulent market with conflicting
economic indicators, asking the right
questions and finding the right realtor is
more important than ever.

hat inspires you? Answer that question and you
have the keys to the kingdom at Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes SLK 350 is clearly cut from the
cloth of the AMG SLS, but with two-thirds the
price tag flapping in the breeze.
If you suffer from paranoia and a feeling you are being watched,
you shouldn’t buy this car. Watched is what you will be. This is a
head-turner. It is physically impossible to walk by an SLK and not
take a peek—it is a virtual siren of the auto industry.
The SLK 350 is a looker. The elongated front end is fighter-jetand-freedom-wrapped in sleek aluminum and clear coat. As you
race through the desert, you won’t feel the power of an ultra-luxe
sports car but you will have the look of a very high roller. Yet don’t
underestimate the equipment by any means; the SLK is still
packing 300 horsepower in the 2011 model and 302 in the soonto-be-released 2012 version.
A roadster in form and function, the SLK 350 design exceeds
expectations. Mercedes has added room to the cockpit, lightened
the overall weight and made driving fun. Features like opaque, hightech roofing material and safety features galore make the SLK a
winner in every category.
True to form, Mercedes doesn’t skimp on this powerful brand
promoter. The two-seater is a partial throwback to the days of chic
Sunday drives, taken as much to be seen as for the joy of the drive
itself. The fully automated retractable roof folds quickly into the
trunk area. The stylish top-off look of the SLK only adds flare to the
already stunning lines. Some hardtops lose their physique when
they take on the convertible look, but the SLK exhibits a new
dimension and style that is equally bold.
While you won’t break any speed records—the SLK goes 0-60
in 5.4 seconds—you’ll find that the upcoming 2012 model has
plenty of torque. Shift-paddle steering gives drivers enough control
to put the SLK through its paces. The seven-speed automatic
transmission will redline around 6,800 rpm, but it keeps the power
coming long after the initial punch has been thrown. Mercedes has
alluded to a smaller, four-cylinder version that may come in early
2012, weighing less but with plenty of power. If you can handle less
overall firepower, this may be the model to keep your eye on.
Steering in the new SLK will have a ratio system that will make
tighter turning possible. The closer to the end of the steering range
you are, the tighter the turning radius. Imagine the car’s
responsiveness increasing as the need increases. In the straightaway,
the need for tight turning is decreased; on the hairpins, the
response ratchets up.
Add to this impressive machinery the perks of owning a
Mercedes-Benz and you’ve found some personal inspiration. Take,

for instance, the air scarf. Stow the top on a
desert evening in winter months and turn
on the air scarf. Warm air blows about your
neck to keep you warm while riding in
style. The new SLK will also deploy what
Mercedes is calling a Magic Sky Control
roof. With this option, you get a clear glass
roof instead of the traditional steel.
Embedded between the panes of glass are
sophisticated cells that can be activated to
tint the roof or let sunshine in. The Magic
Sky option is even lighter than the
traditional option, likely increasing
performance a bit as well.
Inside the SLK hints at its more
luxurious cousin, the SLS. The dash and
on-board intelligence is no less inspiring.
Walnut inlays are optional as is Attention
Assist, which can alert drivers who are
falling asleep at the wheel. Pre-Safe applies
the brakes and prepares the cabin for
impact if an imminent collision is detected.
If an airbag deploys, Mercedes’ Mbrace
system calls for help immediately.
Look into the 2011 SLK or hold out a
month or so for the 2012 model—it’s
win/win either way. Do you want the fourcylinder SLK 250 or the muscle of the sixcylinder SLK 350? Still a winning decision,
regardless of the choice you make.
What’s nice is that the SLK isn’t out of
the question when it comes to pricing.
Fully loaded, it’s priced around $60,000.
Best of all, you’ll be driving a car that
looks like a twin to the SLS, so you’ll get
treated like you just bought the island
rather than voted off of it.
Now that’s inspiring.

Letarte by Lisa Cabrinha
Stylereport
I
t’s that time again—swimsuit season! Some may dread it, while
others look forward to it. Whichever camp you’re in, you can
still look fabulous in the sand and surf (or by the sparkling
waters of an aqua pool) if you look to the trends and select a
suit that both fits and flatters with pizzazz.
Tropical Punch
In all the stores this season, the latest trend is bright colors—
neon colors even, in shades of turquoise and tangerine, hot pink
and lime green. The 70s and 80s are back with these shocking hues.
In shops like Zara and H&M, trends include skinny neon pants
paired with a bold top, and the
Guria Beachwear
same trend applies to swimwear.
This season, look for bandeau
bikinis or one-piece suits in bright
hues or multi-stripe. Letarte
swimwear of Maui, Hawaii has a
neon yellow bikini, the “handcuff”
$176, with a triangle tip and a
bottom with hardware on the
sides. The Lole Women
tropical bikini, sold as
separates at $40 bottom/$45
top, is great because it has the
trendy bright colors, but also
high-tech functions including
UPF 50 and chlorine-resistant
fabric. Plus, it’s reversible—
Hawaiian print on one side,
solid color on the other. Beaded
ties at the hips and neck add
flair.
Ahoy, Matey!/Nautical
Perhaps it’s the return of Letarte by
Pirates of the Caribbean to the Lisa Cabrinha
big screen, or perhaps it’s the
Vilebrequin
allure of the sexy pirate heroine, but one thing’s for
certain: the pirate craze is back and it applies to swimwear. Letarte’s
“hippy skull mesh one piece,” $180, is a white tank suit with a line of
skulls across the midsection and a scoop back. In addition to pirates,
nautical is a hot look right now. Stripes, navy, accents such as loops
and rope, and anchor details are popular. Aerin Rose swimwear has a
bikini in a striped nautical print with gold hardware accents on the
neckline and hips, $57-$72 for the separates, available in many
different neckline/bottom options and sold by bra sizes for the best
fit. St. John makes a striped hooded tunic, $250, and nautical-stripe
halter suit, $200. In addition to the chic nautical stripes, other sweet
patterns like gingham and madras also are hot.
One-Piece Wonders
The one-piece suit made a major comeback last year, and it’s
continuing this year with a sexier look. Letarte’s “Deel-V One
Piece,” $175, in olive green, has a plunging neckline that ends in a
twisted knot just above the navel. Revealing just a sliver of skin
down the midsection, it bares just enough to be sexy while still
providing a lot of coverage. Lole Women’s “Madeira” suit has a cross
back and belts at the hips, available in bright colors including scuba,
orange or grape. The tagline for this suit is “Move over Bond Girls,”
and we believe it—well constructed, this maillot definitely sizzles.
Aerin Rose has a halter one-piece, $107, which has subtle shaping
and a shirred midsection, with a controlled bodice that gives the
waist a nip and offers a very flattering fit. Juicy Couture made retrostyled suits a must-have a couple years ago, and continues to sell
amazing suits that include strapless, skirted one-pieces. The Juicy
“Lace ruffle swimdress,” $197, has three tiers of lace and ruffles on a
little skirt at the hips. In pink, it’s a sweet (and forgiving) option.
Black & White
You can never go wrong with a classic solid black or solid white
suit. Black is always slimming, while white looks ultra hot with a
tan. Guria Beachwear, launched by Brazilian-born Camila Ckless,
has a new line for 2011 called
“The KISS Collection,” which
Ckless says “reflects simplicity
with a twist of sex appeal
providing a timeless elegance.”
The collection features a variety
of triangles, halters, bandeaus
and underwire tops to be paired
with low-cut American and
Brazilian bottoms or a full-cut
style. The Guria “Peace” bikini,
$149, in bright white, is made of
a nice, thick fabric for ultimate
coverage and control. The
bandeau top twists in the
middle and has a detachable
halter strap, and the skirted
bottom has a fold-over band
with ties on the side. The
Guria “Bora Bora Black” bikini,
$41-$65 for the separates, has
a bandeau top with a gold
hammered square in the
center of the bust, and the
scoop bottom has shirring by
Lole swimwear
the hips with a gold
hammered hardware detail on the sides. Guria tops
are sold by bra size. The black Gottex “Delphine” onepiece strapless suit, $178, has a laced up, ruched bust line and a
smooth, sleek silhouette.
Men’s
Men’s styles do not change as often as women’s, but the biggest
trend for men this year seems to be the rise short length. Shorts are
rising to show off a lot more thigh than the usual board-shorts look.
The bright colors trend pertains to men as well, with suits in
orange, lime and yellow. Ralph Lauren’s Blue Label Sanibel Swim
Trunks in orange, $70, feature a tie waist and the signature horse on
the left thigh. Vilebrequin is a stylish line known for bold patterns.
The Sea Urchin-print Moorea Swim Trunk, $230, is blue with a seaurchin pattern. Other fun Vilebrequin patterns include parrots,
elephants, seals, octopuses and giraffes. A playful pattern always
makes a statement!

Soho Hearts

S
earch the Internet and fashionistas are claiming that charm
bracelets have been all the rage for five years. Flashy trends
aside, what the fashion experts should be saying is that
charm bracelets are truly ancient history.
The first recognizable charm
bracelets, dating back to at least 5000 BC,
adorned Egyptian Pharaohs. Made of
precious stones and metals and used as
protective shields and signs of status in
life, these charms were also worn to
help the Gods guide the wearer and
his/her possessions to the proper
status level in the afterlife.
Popular through the Roman era
and well beyond, charm bracelets
began to lose favor with the wealthy
classes during the Renaissance, in turn
becoming fashionable with the lower
class. Charm bracelets continued to be
worn with purpose but not for adornment
until the early 20th century. HRH Queen
Victoria’s wearing of specially designed bracelets
ignited a dramatic change in the charm bracelet’s
purpose, transforming it into a decorative statement
featuring small lockets, glass beads and family crests.
What time hasn’t changed are the individual
stories charm bracelets tell. In the 1950s, the charm
bracelet became a must-have accessory for girls and
women in the United States, a way to mark and
remember important life events. A 16th birthday,
graduation, marriage, travel and the arrival of children all
were recorded with charms, added over years to the
bracelet links.
Today’s plethora of charm-bracelet
designs is astounding. From gold and
silver to braided rope bracelets,
anything goes. And young girls don’t
wait for someone to present them
with a charm to mark an event; they
go out and get their own.
For the younger generation the
appeal of charm bracelets is change.
Today’s love may be tomorrow’ s hate,
causing teenagers to change their
charms as quickly as they change their
mind. Mall bead stores now have Beauty of the beasts
thousands of charms for young adults
to choose from, allowing them to
create their own personal—and
evolving—style.
Charms can tell countless stories
about the wearer: favorite hobbies or
interests; sports accomplishments; favorite television characters;
the friends, family and even pets that are personally important. At
least one good-luck charm, such as a horseshoe, four-leaf clover or
rabbit’s foot, in silver or gold is a must.
One of the hottest trends this summer: all things fruity! Fruitinspired charms dangling with your other favorite pieces will make
a real statement.
Making a statement among pet owners are charm bracelets
dedicated to furry friends. Birthday, breed, name, photos and even
accomplishments captured in charms keep a pet close at hand and
make unique and fabulous gifts for any occasion. Both
malmom.com and beautyofthebeasts.com are great websites for
pet lovers getting started on their charm-bracelet
menagerie.
Charms can also have a more serious side.
Some organizations now use the bracelets to
tell the stories of those in need and to raise
awareness or money for a cause. Soho Hearts
(sohohearts.com) has a special line of bracelets
for purchase that contributes funds to the
organization War Child, dedicated to providing
a peaceful future for children in war zones.
If you are a little overwhelmed
deciding what makes the perfect charm
bracelet, it’s simple: It’s all about you and
your story, or the story you hope to
show and tell. Here are few tips to
Soho Hearts
keep in mind when purchasing
your first bracelet:
• The usual lengths available in
the market are seven and eight
inches. If you need larger ask;
some stores carry nine-inch
bracelets. The length is essential
because the bracelet will hang
differently with the addition of
charms
and
should
be
comfortable, not bothersome, for
the wearer.
• The charms and the bracelet should
match in materials, e.g. gold on gold, silver
on silver, though some mixing and
matching of materials and styles can add
flair.
• It may be better to buy a readymade
bracelet with a few charms to start out to
get a feel of where you are going with
your bracelet.
• Do your best to keep a record of information
about each charm, to remind you of its story
and the special moment it relates to.
• A good place to start your search
for just the right bracelet is at
your favorite jewelry store;
however, keep in mind that
many antique stores also have
incredible charm bracelets telling someone else’s story that just
might relate to yours.
Be bold, be brave, have fun and above all, be charming!
