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. DESERTGOLF Summer2011 Editor/Publisher: 16th annual Vol.XVi, no.V TIMOTHY J.

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. Photos Courtesy of the USGA Museum and the LPGA 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. Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 13 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). Photos Courtesy of the USGA Museum and the LPGA 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. Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 15 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. 16 DeSertGolfmaGazine • Summer2011 By Aaron Atwood 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. Photos Courtesy of the USGA Museum and the LPGA 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. Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 19 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. Photos Courtesy of the USGA Museum and the LPGA By Bill Bowman 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. 22 DeSertGolfmaGazine • Summer2011 By Chris Lewis 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.” Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 23 By Françoise Rhodes Cheech Marin, George Lopez and Don Cheadle GamePlay 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 Chaka Khan sings Happy Birthday to George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic benefitting the Lopez Foundation was held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif. The sold-out crowd was ready to play golf, party and donate money, and the celebrity lineup was a who’s who of Hollywood.

Meanwhile, there will be events throughout the year as well.

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.

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 from the sponsors and golfers who buy in together to play together; [additionally], there’s one celeb in each group and it’s a Shamble set up, best drive and then play your own ball in from there so you feel like 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.” To learn more about Kevin Sorbo’s 3rd Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament, email [email protected] or call 818.880.5511.

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. Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 27 By Matt McKay Ernie and Ben Els GamePlay 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.

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.

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. ________________________________________________ Scott Martin is a contributing writer to Desert Golf Magazine Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 35 realty desertgolfrealty.com The latest in real estate development across California, Arizona and Nevada Lake Las Vegas By Jenell Fontes PGA West theGoodlife W 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. _______________________________ Jenell Fontes is an REO Director and short sale Specialist- DRE#01833698.

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, Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 47 luxuryautos 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. ____________________________ Aaron Atwood is a staff writer with Desert Golf Magazine Find Your Own SLK Mercedes-Benz Palm Springs 4095 East Palm Canyon Drive Palm Springs, CA 92264 866.749.5402 palm-springs.mercedesdealer.com Fletcher Jones Imports 7300 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89117 702.364.2700 fjimports.com Schumacher European 18530 North Scottsdale Road, Phoenix, AZ 85054 888.431.9459 schumacher.mercedesdealer.com 48 DeSertGolfmaGazine • Summer2011 By Dana Lauren Berry 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! ________________________________________________ Dana Lauren Berry is a staff writer with Desert Golf Magazine Shop Online aerinrose.com • guriabeachwear.com.br • letarteswimwear.com lolewomen.com • vilebrequin.com Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 51 By Françoise Rhodes Soho Hearts fineJewelry 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! _________________________________ Françoise Rhodes is a staff writer with Desert Golf Magazine Summer2011 • DeSertGolfmaGazine 53 desertgolfer.com CoachellaValleyCalifornia Coachella Valley 1.
