We are extremely proud to feature the destination of Los
Cabos in this issue, and especially three amazing properties within
it. Diamante Cabo San Lucas, Copala at Quivira Los Cabos, and
Esperanza, an Auberge Resort, offer three distinct opportunities to
visitors from the United States, not the least of which is the chance
to live in one of the great golf destinations in the world. Cabo San
Lucas is, of course, that. But it also offers fishing, boating, beaches
and a rich culture. New roads, water treatment plants and new
developments are springing up almost daily, and with them come
even more golf courses—most notably, the new Diamante course
designed by Tiger Woods himself. This is the first completed Tiger
Woods design in the world, and it promises to be a great test for any
game. Please see our feature on it starting on pg. 12, and our
additional Cabo features on pages 26, 30 and 52.
Another year of the BNP Paribas Open is over. The tournament
once again saw record crowds of more than 431,527 fans! This
event is the largest ATP World Tour and WTA combined event,
and fans saw an amazing finish with World No. 21 Flavia Pennetta
defeating World No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-1 in the final
women’s match. Novak Djokovic captured his third BNP Paribas
title, overcoming four-time BNP Paribas champion Roger Federer,
3-6, 6-3, 7-6.
This tournament and continued growth of tennis in the
Coachella Valley and beyond was our inspiration to change our
title to Desert Golf & Tennis. But tennis has long been part of the
history and culture of our area, which is why we feature the
historic Palm Springs Tennis Club in this issue. This incredible
property offers 11 tennis courts, the superb Spencer’s on the
Mountain restaurant, a fitness center, a hotel and an enduring sense
of valley history. Read about it starting on pg. 42.
Also in this issue, we cover Alice Cooper’s 2014 Rock & Roll
Golf Classic, where rockers and others join in to raise funds for
Cooper’s Solid Rock Foundation. Solid Rock, based in Arizona, is
dedicated to making an everlasting difference in the lives of teens in
the community. Learn more starting on pg. 20.
As always, we strive to find unique lifestyle items for our
readers, and this issue will make you sit up and take notice with our
review of one of the most rare cars in the world. The McLaren P1 is
unlike any other automobile, expensive and not a vehicle for the
faint of heart. With a price tag of more than $1 million, this is a
collector’s gem. See our coverage on page 64. And you will find our
other lifestyle features, including must-have fashions and
distinctive jewelry, starting on pg. 68.
We are blessed to work in such an amazing region of the United
States, with some of the best weather in the world. While other
areas enjoy this weather only in summer, we have it year-round,
and that is why we are able to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle that
includes tennis, golf and access to an array of fine companies that we
are honored to promote and support. We thank our readers and
the great businesses that continue to support Desert Golf &
Tennis. We hope you enjoy this edition and the great writing and
photography that we provide.
Meanwhile, spring is here, so get out and play some golf and
tennis!

I
t’s been a long time coming. Finally, however, the world
is going to be able to check out the design prowess of
Tiger Woods when his first completed golf course
opens at Diamante, a very private development in
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, later this year.
While Woods’ previous course-design projects were
stalled by the challenging economy of the past few years, El
Cardonal is on track to be the first of five courses from Tiger
Woods Design to come to fruition. Woods has taken a very,
very hands-on approach with El Cardonal, visiting Diamante
at least a half-dozen times. Reports are that he loves the place
so much he now has a home there.
According to those familiar with Woods’ design
philosophy, the emphasis of this course is on strategy, options
and playability across the board. In other words, there will be
several options available to navigate each hole, and players of
different abilities will have to make similar strategic decisions,
regardless of which of the multiple tees they are playing from.
“I set up the golf strategy to make golfers think and make
choices,” Woods says of his design. “Regardless of your
handicap, there are going to be different ways to play every
hole. Angles of approach are going to be very important and
will dictate the type of shots you should consider. I love this
kind of golf.”
Indeed. Word is that El Cardonal is reminiscent of the
old-style California golf courses that Woods grew up
playing and for which he has great fondness. Those courses
tend to use bunkers and other hazards to force players to
make a decision rather than as a deterrent. Natural,
irregular contours on the wide fairways, as well as highfaced greenside bunkers will help enhance the course’s oldstyle look and feel.
When El Cardonal opens, it will be Diamante’s second
golf course. Already in existence is the Dunes Course, which
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014

onCover
lies closer to the ocean and was designed by Davis Love III in a
classic Scottish links style. Golf Digest recognized The Dunes
Course as the No. 1 course in Mexico and Golf Magazine rated it
among the top 100 golf courses in the world.
The end result is that Diamante will offer two very different golf
experiences, though both will be private, available only to
members or those staying at the property.
Opened in 2009, Diamante is a luxury real estate development
and master-planned community on 1,500 acres located six miles
14
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
onCover
from downtown Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of the Baja peninsula. In
addition to having the world’s first Tiger Woods Design golf course,
Diamante also has a mile-and-a-half of spectacular Pacific coastline.
There are many options for those who hope to have a home
here and Tiger Woods as a potential neighbor. Whether you want a
residence high on Sunset Hill or just a short stroll from the beach,
there are full-ownership home sites for you. There are also golf
villas designed around the internationally ranked Dunes Course,
and exclusive penthouse suites, airy condominiums located on the
third floor of the Dunes Clubhouse.
Diamante offers a shared-ownership in residence clubs as well.
There’s the Beach Estates Residence Club comprised of homes
with direct access to the community’s 1.5 miles of shoreline. The
4,800-square-foot homes feature five bedrooms, five-and-a-half
baths and expansive outdoor areas perfect for entertaining and
enjoying. When you’re in residence, you have access to the Dunes
Clubhouse, practice facility and golf course, as well as to the health
and fitness club and, soon, El Cardonal. The Dunes Residence Club
is located on the second floor of the Dunes Clubhouse. The luxury
two-bedroom condos offer spectacular views of No. 1 and No. 18
on the Dunes Course, and of the blue sea and Cabo’s equally
spectacular sunsets.

The Resort at Diamante sits on more
than 80 acres, 10 of which are devoted to an
inviting saltwater lagoon. This resort is
where El Cardonal will open come fall. Right
now the resort offers a tennis court, health
club, 25-meter lap pool, children’s camp and
a restaurant. By the end of this year, the spa
will be complete, a place where residents
can enjoy treatments designed to heal,
purify and soothe using local ingredients
and time-honored traditional techniques.
There are other elements in the works, too,
including a full-on sports complex.
16
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
While downtown Cabo San Lucas is
just a few miles away, residents will have
plenty to entice them to forget the crowds
and instead create their own ambiance and
experience within Diamante. There’s an
option to dine on superb cuisine under the
stars in view of the Pacific, and those on the
run can grab a casual meal after a round of
golf or swimming in the lagoon. In sync
with Diamante’s exceptional level of
service, there are also on-course “comfort
stations” that offer complimentary
cocktails and gourmet small plates
throughout the day. For those who don’t
wish to go out at all, the concierge can
arrange for a private chef to prepare dinner
in the privacy of a residence.
To be in Baja and not discover all that it
offers, however, is to miss the compelling
beauty of this region. Adventure and
exploration abound, meaning active
visitors will have no lack of things to do or
try. Diving, snorkeling, kayaking,
parasailing, horseback riding on the beach,
ATV adventures and mountain biking all
are close by. There are miles of hiking trails
and there are sailboat tours, too. Los Cabos
is known across the globe for its deep-sea
fishing, and Diamante is just minutes from
the busy marina where fishing boats come
and go.
In the best of all worlds, visitors will
enjoy all that Baja offers along with the
exclusive amenities and privileges at
Diamante. And those lucky enough to
become a member here will be welcomed
back as extended family, year after year.

I
t’s not every day that one gets the chance to play with two
world-class golfers, but I was privileged recently to do just
that.
First, I played a round with Harris English at Tradition Golf Club
in La Quinta, Calif. Since the Humana Challenge event in January,
Harris had stayed on in the Coachella Valley to work on his game. His
game is extremely impressive, to say the least. On the day we played,
he was ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings. He is a very
likeable young man and has all the ingredients needed to take to take
him to the top.
During the ten years I played professional golf, I was fortunate to
play a number of times with The Big Three: Nicklaus, Palmer and
Player. Harris is getting near to that sort of standard so don’t be
surprised if he wins some majors over the next few years. Although
he has been a professional for only a couple of years, Harris has a
mature outlook and believes in pacing himself as he faces the
rigorous PGA Tour. While picking his favorite courses, his tendency
is to play three events in a row and then take a week off.
What is so good about his game? Pretty much everything. He
exhibits what I call “smooth power.” He is young at 24, and his height,
about 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a factor in his game. He has long arms and
his arc is enormous. He is very long without any apparent effort—it’s
just smooth power. Harris hits the ball solid and high. The “hang
time” is immense, so that his tee shot and iron shots fall from a great
height and marginally to the right. What’s wrong with playing with a
fade? Not much; ask Hogan or Trevino! Like great players, he has
terrific control over the shape of his shots. In other words, don’t be
fooled by this gentle fade. When the pin is positioned hard left on the
green, he has no qualms about hitting a draw.
Tradition Golf Club is one of the very best courses in the desert.
For that matter, it’s one of the very best courses west of the
Mississippi. Harris showed some respect by three-putting a couple of
times on the slick, smooth greens found on this Arnold Palmerdesigned golf course. Apart from that, his score of 66 from the tips
(just over 7,000 yards) was immaculate. What shines through in a
player of this caliber is his length and ability to hit long and medium
irons so high that they stop on a dime. That gives him the ability to
take Par 5s apart. Even though there were only 10 yards or so of run,
Par 5s of 540 yards were reachable for him with long and medium
irons. After watching his impressive play close up, I would not be
surprised if he wins a major this year. He has a very solid short game
and, with his length and high-flying long irons, Augusta National may
be right up his street.
No sooner had Harris English left the desert than I had the
pleasure of playing golf with Juli Inkster at Tradition Golf Club and
also at the excellent Madison Club, both in La Quinta. Juli is one of
the greatest players to ever set foot on the LPGA Tour. She had 31
LPGA wins, seven of which were majors. Juli has been a stalwart of
the LPGA since turning professional in 1983. She is also one of the
most fun and charming players you could ever meet, and she is a great
ambassador for the game. Her record and career are as admirable as
they are lengthy. It is always difficult to choose your greatest victory;
however, when asked, and after careful thought, Juli selected her
2002 win in the U.S. Women’s Open, when she shot 66 in the final
round to pip Annika Sorenstam by two shots.
At 53 years of age, Juli is still extremely competitive. She
works out in the gym and is very fit. Her whole demeanor and
game are extremely professional. She hits the ball very solidly
with a slight draw, has maintained her length off the tee and chips
and putts very well.
Clive Clark and Harris English
Compared to Harris English, who is over 6 feet and one of the
longer players on the PGA Tour, a top female player gives away some
distance from the tee. As I mentioned, Juli strikes the ball very solidly
and averages somewhere around 250 yards off the tee. Her 3-wood
distance is around 230 yards, so with a drive and fairway wood she can
cover 480 yards. In firm conditions she could definitely reach a 500yard par 5 in two. Harris, on the other hand, drives the ball
consistently around the 300-yard mark, with a 3-wood range of
about 270 yards. In running conditions, even a 600-yard par 5 is fair
game for him in two shots. That is the reason that men on the Tour
play courses of around 7,200-7,300 yards and the ladies play courses of
around 6,500 yards.
One afternoon, Juli and I decided to play nine holes off the very
back tees at Tradition, giving us about 3,500 yards on the front nine.
Juli was right on top of her game and scored a remarkable 33 shots,
three under par. Her putting was brilliant.
As I am not the best of putters, Juli thought it might be a good
idea for me to try her method. She putts with an over-length putter,
which she ‘glues’ to her left arm, almost to the elbow. “Perhaps this is
the answer,” I thought. But I was wrong. This method, which is also
used by Matt Kuchar, is clearly an acquired taste. My efforts to
control this unwieldy implement fell way short of average, and it felt
somewhat like swinging a telegraph pole in the middle of an
earthquake. I politely handed this unfortunate weapon back to its
owner.
So, we have here what one might consider two contrasting
players: one doing extremely well in his early days of professional golf,
the other an accomplished lady with seven major wins under her
belt. How do their swings compare? Just look at the photos. Both
have terrific swings. And wouldn’t you know the positions at the top
of the swing are almost identical!

Alice Cooper and the winning team
M
any of the players, attendees and supporters of
Alice Cooper’s Rock & Roll Golf Classic grew up
listening to the Michigan shock rocker, and
likely took all sorts of heat from their parents
about the hangings, guillotines, crazy make-up and other
accouterments of the evolving rock and roll scene circa 1970.
Those little boys and, yes, some girls who had the 1972
calendar insert from the Killer album tacked to their bedroom
wall, and wailed “School’s Out” right through the summer of
1973, could hardly have imagined that over 40 years later,
Cooper would still be relevant to the rock scene. Nor could
they have predicted that Cooper would still tour regularly,
playing before sold-out houses, or that he’d have attained a
high level of mastery of the game of golf. Even less predictable
would have been that they, his early fans, would become
sustaining members of the rocker’s charitable activities.
Alice Cooper’s nonprofit Solid Rock organization, founded
in 1995 by Cooper and Chuck Savale, generates funds for
Alice Cooper’s Rock Teen Center in Phoenix, where youth
ages 12-20 become engaged in the arts via free music and
20
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014

dance lessons, occupational training
programs and other arts-based classes.
“There are lots of places where kids can
go and just hang out,” says Cooper. “We’re
essentially a free music and dance school,
and I think that’s really what sets us apart.
This is a place where kids can learn how to
do new things. By helping kids develop a
talent, and to help them create something
from nothing, we’re really changing the
way they think.”
The center is the primary beneficiary of
the singer’s annual golf tournament, which
has raised hundreds of thousands of
charitable dollars during its 17 years.
Cooper’s wife, Sheryl, has also been a
significant driving force in making the
center a reality, and is highly active within
the Solid Rock organization.
This year’s event, scheduled for April
27-28 at Las Sendas Golf Club in Mesa,
Ariz., is once again sold out, with 120
amateur players paired with 30 celebrities
at a 3:1 ratio. The 2014 festivities include a
night of memorable entertainment
followed the next day by golf at Las Sendas.
The Sunday night function has been
titled “A Killer Evening of Entertainment
with RoboCoop,” as Cooper puts his
signature touches on the law-enforcing
cyborg. The event also features Tom
Arnold, Don Felder, John O’Hurley, Kevin
Sorbo and Tommy Thayer, who will also
participate in the golf tournament.
This year, for the first time, the Sunday
night experience has been opened to nongolfers. The additional 250 seats allocated
to non-golfers are expected to sell out
The celebrities came out in force at Las Sendas Golf Club
quickly. To enquire about available tickets,
email [email protected].
The Rock Teen Center opened in
2012, a culmination of Cooper and Savale’s
vision and fundraising efforts. The two had
long dreamed of creating a center offering
artistic and technical pursuits that would
not only enrich students artistically or
teach them a skill, it would also offer them
opportunities to be exposed to avenues
they might not otherwise know about or
even considered as a possible career.
“Most of these kids have never been to a
concert, they have never taken ballet, they
have never played an instrument,” Cooper
says. “I think everyone has potential, and
we are trying to give them an outlet for that
potential. And if you change one kid on the
block, you end up changing an entire
neighborhood. One kid who is trying to
better him or herself has the power to
change an entire neighborhood.” It all starts with the tournament. Alice
Cooper’s Rock Teen Center is able to do
what it does because of the tournament,
and every fan-turned-player or playerturned-fan who participates each year
becomes part of that.

Hotel lobby
Casino
T
he golf course at the Pechanga Resort Casino has the inspirational title “The
Journey at Pechanga.” But the term “journey” can really be applied to the entire
property. It could even be called “The Adventure at Pechanga,” and who could
argue?
Go ahead. Wander about the hotel. Take in the new multimillion-dollar lobby renovation.
The two casinos. The Round Bar. The wide variety of restaurants. And that’s just the
casino/hotel. Once you’re loaded up and warmed up, get ready for one of the top cart rides of
your career, not to mention one of the sportiest plays in Southern California. Rounds feature
fabulous vistas, imposing oaks, water to be avoided, key decisions and, of course, one or two
imaginative recovery shots.
How guests utilize these amenities determines exactly how adventurous their personal
journey is.
“If a guest’s idea of entertainment is sitting by the pool with a cocktail, or doubling down
at the blackjack tables, or seeing a world-class show such as John Legend, they can do that,”
says Ciara Green, public relations manager for the resort. “We have a casino that rivals any
casino in the world. We have tremendous spa amenities and we have a championship golf
course. Any way guests wants to define their entertainment experience, we can
accommodate them here.”

inputs, including an HDMI port, which allows traveling gamers to
connect their consoles to the room television. Some find it
shocking and irritating when upscale resorts charge for Internet
and in-room coffee. They’ll be pleased to learn that these services
are complimentary at Pechanga, along with the morning paper.
The fitness center is also available to hotel guests on a
complimentary basis.
Suites and deluxe rooms aren’t the only accommodation
options. Some casinos allow RV “dry camping” in their vast parking
lots; however, Pechanga has the Pechanga RV Resort, which has also
received the official AAA Campground designation. The
campground provides all the amenities full- and part-timers
require, including a swimming pool, general store and full hookups.
Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar
Noodles
Seems hard to believe a resort casino less than 15 years old
would require renovation. But it’s a reflection of the Pechanga Band
of Luiseno Indians’ commitment to the property’s status as one of
Southern California’s top destinations. The casino doubled in size
in 2005. The resort also features some of the Temecula Valley’s
finest dining, all in one 517-room tower. The renovated lobby
features the new Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar and Blends Coffee &
Wine Bar. Pechanga Cafe and Blazing Noodles are existing
restaurants that received complete makeovers. The Great Oak
Steakhouse, like the resort itself, has been named a AAA Four
Diamond Award recipient for 2014.
The lobby renovation, completed in January, opened up the
entire area. The concrete floor was replaced with laminates, and
the resort’s featured materials—glass, marble and stacked stone—
offer the setting for the “Rain Curtain” waterfall sculpture, which
rises nearly 50 feet to the lobby ceiling. The resort touts sustainable
living, and nearly all of the materials replaced in the renovation
were recycled, including the concrete floors and fabric from old
lobby furnishings. The golf grounds staff also practices
sustainability by employing the latest agronomic techniques.
Should one decide to withdraw from the casino’s buzz and
hustle, Pechanga’s guest rooms offer the perfect respite. Plush
bedding, thick towels and a workstation aren’t surprising. What
might be are the flat screen HD televisions and the technology
panel included in each desk/work area. The technology panel
includes USB ports for charging compatible devices, and video

DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
Then there’s the Journey, designed by Arthur Hills and opened
in 2008. The course is 7,219 yards (back tees) of creatively designed,
challenging golf that starts on the flat before taking players up 300
feet, down 200 feet, then up 200 feet again before careening down
to the finishing line via the 243-yard par-3 17th and 431-yard par-4
18th. Hills worked his holes around ancient oaks that frame and
intimidate, and free-flowing creeks are a constant presence.
Before heading to the first tee, it’s best to make use of the stateof-the-art practice facility with hillside hitting stations as well as a
bunker practice area and a vast putting green, allowing for a
comprehensive warm-up.
Hills starts players off slow and flat with an eminently par-able
520-yard par 5, but there’s no reason to get comfortable. He turns
the screw tighter with each hole before a 300-foot ascent takes
players to the No. 6 tee box, where the entire Temecula Valley
unfolds below, as does the 488-yard par 4 with its yawning carry off
the elevated tee. Players meander in the hills until reaching the 574yard par-5 9th hole with its culturally sensitive area right of the
fairway, now protected by a new stone-and-iron boundary fence.
According to Green, stay-and-play packages, available at
pechanga.com, allow for discount bundling of rooms, rounds,
entertainment, shows, wine tastings, Old Town Temecula tours,
horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking and trips to the San
Diego Zoo. Of course, those activities may also be booked a la carte
at the hotel. It’s all a matter of how much adventure you can handle.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that it’s difficult to get to
Cabo. McCallen says, “Los Cabos has regularly scheduled flights
from all major U.S. gateways, with carriers that include
Aeromexico, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines,
Continental, Delta, Frontier, Sun Country, United and US Airways.
The region is also very safe, with good highways, busy downtowns
and a very low crime rate.”
GOLF
Punta Sur (vidantagolf.com)
The first golf course built in Los Cabos in 1987 is a family-friendly
nine-hole layout conceived by Fonatur (Mexico’s government
tourism agency) to broaden the region’s appeal. Punta Sur (“South
Point”) is routed on gently rolling terrain, easy to walk and located
within a resort development. 3,141 yards. $70 for nine holes.
Puerto Los Cabos (puertoloscabos.com)
One of the newest public courses in the region, Puerto Los
Cabos, near San Jose del Cabo, will eventually become two
championship layouts. For now, it’s a highly unusual composite
course—a front nine by Greg Norman and a back nine by Jack
Nicklaus. Enjoy the Nicklaus nine now; when both courses are
finished Nicklaus’ 18 holes will be reserved for homeowners. $250
for 18 holes currently.
C
abo might initially conjure up images of gorgeous
beaches and bright sun, splashed with some tequilasoaked nights. But the place. sometimes known as the
“Fort Lauderdale of Mexico,” has become the golf
capital of Mexico. Los Cabos (Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo
and the 20-mile resort corridor between them) boasts no less than
14 championship courses and the upcoming addition of two buzzworthy ventures. Tiger Woods’ first-ever golf course and a new Jack
Nicklaus Signature Course are both scheduled to open this year
(see more on pg. 12 and pg. 30, respectively). Cabo courses have
been singled out by national U.S. golf publications, two on a “Top
100 in the World” list, along with four courses listed among
Mexico’s top five. Among the top five tourist destinations in
Mexico, Cabo is also a superb destination golf getaway.
“It’s a golfer’s dream,” says Los Cabos Tourism Board’s golf
coordinator, Brian McCallen. “Los Cabos stands as one of the most
desirable foreign destinations for traveling U.S. golfers.
Cabo remains a place to relax with a variety of water and
outdoor activities on tap. “It took several decades for it to become
the tourist destination it is today,” says McCallen. “Dating back to
the early 1930s, [Cabo San Lucas] was a small fishing village with
abundant marine life, which put it on the map as a sport-fishing
destination in the 1950s and 1960s. But it was the opening of the
Transpeninsular Highway in the early 1970s, and later the airport,
which caused tourism in the destination to really take off. “
Mild, sunny days with little or no rainfall from November
through July are ideal for golfers. McCallen says, “Throughout the
year, cool breezes from the Sea of Cortes and the Pacific Ocean
make Los Cabos a tropical paradise.” Best advice for first-time
visitors? “The sun shines 340 days per year—bring a widebrimmed hat and appropriate SPF lotion. English is widely spoken
here, but learning a few basic Spanish phrases will broaden your
experience.”
Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol (cabodelsol.com)
Designed by Jack Nicklaus and known as the “Pebble Beach of
the Baja,” seven holes touch a scalloped coastline. Nicklaus calls it
the “best piece of golf property I’ve ever seen.” Opened in 1994, it
set a new standard of excellence for Latin American golf. 7,091
yards. $365 for 18 holes during peak season.

destination in Mexico.

T
he new signature Jack Nicklaus golf course, scheduled to open in late
summer or early fall 2014, is just one of the coveted amenities available
to residential owners in Copala at Quivira Los Cabos, at the tip of Baja
California.
Spread across 24 acres within the master planned community of Quivira,
Copala is designed to be intimate, distinctive and private, yet to reflect the great
warmth and hospitality of the Mexican culture. Thoughtful planning went into
Copala and into Quivira, the vision of Ernesto Coppel, a highly respected
developer and the founder of Pueblo Bonito resorts. At Copala, there is a focus on
quality and on a reverence for the natural beauty and preservation of the Baja
landscape.
Located on the 16th hole of the first Nicklaus golf course being built within
Quivira, with views of both the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, Copala, which is a
full-ownership development, offers much to those who want a private retreat in a
strikingly sophisticated and safe community just a short flight from many U.S. cities.
The Copala development consists of seven towers with one- to three-bedroom
condos, as well as freestanding two- to three-bedroom homes. Phase 1 is scheduled
for completion in late 2015 or early 2016. Design of Copala’s buildings recalls the
gracious Mexican-California hacienda style, with elements including native
cantera stone, wrought iron and evocative red tile roofs.
All of the homes will feature granite countertops in the kitchen, marble
countertops in the bathrooms and marble floors throughout. Appliances will be
of the highest quality, and all residences and condos will be wired for a private
telephone network with accessories for data and Internet, as well as satellite TV.
Layouts are designed to encourage outdoor living.
Throughout the development, manicured gardens with local flora will add
color to the surroundings, while well-maintained roadways make it easy for
residents to get around Quivira or into downtown Cabo San Lucas.
Among the community amenities planned are an organic garden in which
residents can grow their own herbs and vegetables and a vineyard that will
produce grapes for the Quivira winery. Owners at Copala at Quivira will enjoy
access to the Club House and Beach Club, as well as to Pueblo Bonito Sunset spa
and restaurants. Condos in Copala currently start at $250,000 (USD) and homes
at $500,000 (USD).
Quivira, the master-planned community in which Copala at Quivira sits, offers
its own brand of barefoot elegance. Tranquil and sophisticated, Quivira

Pueblo Bonito’s six hotels—Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa, an
adults-only luxury boutique property focused around health and
wellness, and Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, with 635
accommodations in hacienda-style villas. Both hotels feature an
Armonia Spa, where therapeutic treatments are offered in
exquisite surroundings. Copala owners will find Armonia an
inviting place to relax, renew and be pampered.
At the heart of it all is golf. No course designer has had a more
significant impact on golf in Los Cabos than Jack Nicklaus, whose
layouts spread from Cabo San Lucas to San Jose del Cabo. The PGA
legend’s courses are among the most coveted in Baja, and now
Quivira is adding two more Nicklaus masterpieces to the mix. The
first will lie partly along the ocean adjacent to the Pueblo Bonito
Pacifica Resort & Spa. More than seven of its holes will skirt the
Pacific, providing a mix of stunning views and intriguing challenge.
There is no completion date set yet for the second course; however
when the two are complete, one will be private and the other will
be for resort guests.
While the beach at Quivira is not for swimming—as is true for
many of the Cabo San Lucas beaches—it is for walking, strolling,
savoring sunsets and arguably some of the best views in the region,
especially in winter and early spring when grey whales are
abundant in these waters as they migrate to and from the Arctic.
Downtown Cabo San Lucas, just three miles away, is well
known for its access to deep-sea fishing and its nightlife; however, it
also offers quality galleries filled with local and national handicrafts
and artwork—and perhaps the perfect piece to decorate your new
Copala residence.
There is much to do here yet nothing that must be done, and
the utter relaxation and pleasure of that makes Copala at Quivira a
place that will be easy to love and hard to leave.

One of the things I love most about teaching golf is sharing with my students how to accurately
reference the paths of the golf swing. While most higher-handicap golfers play what I call “see-hit-andhope golf,” it is my experience that is not the case with players on the professional tours. Rather, these
players move their clubs in reference to very specific paths throughout the swing.
Takeaway Path
In the backswing, I want to power the takeaway through my
shoulder rotation in order for my arms and hands to move directly
back on top of the toe line. There is a point in the swing when the
shaft is level to the ground. If the club is on the correct path, the
shaft should be directly on top of the toe line. Swing flaws can
easily occur at this point if the shaft is either too far inside or outside
the toe line. Set-up Path
When setting up to the golf ball, I have a specific path that goes
from the target in the distance back through my golf ball. This is
called the target line and this line is the path on which I want my
golf ball to travel. As I set up to the ball, I am standing parallel to
the target line, establishing what I call the toe line; it’s this line to
which my body and toes are aligned.
The key to a good set-up is to tilt from the hips so the arms and
hands hang directly on top of the toe line. This is important
because I want my hands and golf club to move directly on top of
the toe line in the takeaway in order for the golf club to be on the
correct path for a straight ball flight. These lines are very
important references in the golf swing. To help a player establish
these lines, I often use sticks or clubs on the ground to serve as
reference points.
34
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
Golfinstruction
Forward Swing Path
The setting of the golf club now serves the purpose of
establishing what I call the forward swing plane or path. If you were
to draw a line through the shaft in transition, ideally you would
want that line to point to the golf ball/target line. This line is now
the path of my hands in the forward swing. As I rotate my body in
the forward motion of the golf swing, my hands will be on this
same path as they move precisely in reference to the swing plane.
You can see this in the finish of my swing. Transition Path
The key to transitioning from backswing to forward swing is
“setting” the golf club correctly. In order to keep the golf club on
path, I need to execute the proper hinging of my wrist. The goal
of this hinging motion is to precisely angle the shaft of the golf
club so that the butt of the club points to the target line/golf ball
in transition, depending on the length of my swing. The great
Jack Nicklaus described this hinging motion as “feeling the
weight of the club cocking the wrist for me,” so he could angle or
“set” the golf club to the target line in transition
By referencing these swing paths throughout the golf swing, you will have greater clarity and an increased ability to produce the type
of swing that will help you execute your best shots

N
ot every community can claim to have a famous clown
who lives and works within it. In the Coachella Valley, we
have just that. His name is Harpo the Clown, and, yes, that
is the name he answers to.
What might seem an odd profile for a publication devoted to golf
and tennis actually isn’t. Since 1976, Harpo has been clowning regularly
at golf tournaments, celebrity events, tennis tournaments, hospitals
and, if you want him, at your private shindig.
Harpo adopted his name with the approval of Susan Marx. He had
always liked Harpo Marx and his antics. “I have always enjoyed the
gentler type of humor, such as [that performed by] Harpo Marx, Red
Skelton and Stan Laurel.”
Harpo’s friends have included President and Mrs. Gerald Ford, Frank
Sinatra, Jack Lemmon and PGA professional Fuzzy Zoeller, among
many others. If you are lucky enough to see Harpo’s photo album with
all of his celebrity acquaintances, you will see that life has been good for
a man whose career choice is a happy-go-lucky clown.
Although Harpo never says a word, this writer has observed people
stand before him and carry on a 20-minute conversation. Harpo, in
clown attire, merely smiles and nods, or pulls out a red spongy nose and
quickly pops it on their nose. “A lot of people like the fact that I don’t
talk. Most clowns talk, such as Bozo, Ronald McDonald and Timothy P.”
Harpo was born in Melrose Park, Ill. When asked his age, he doesn’t
reply. When asked about his family, he quickly begins typing. “My
brother lives in Chicago and my sister in Florida.”
When asked if his clown work bothers his family, he types more.
“No, my mother inspired us. My brother is a natural clown, but he
doesn’t wear makeup or do it for a living. My sister and I trained and
graduated from Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Clown College in
Venice, Florida.”
The life of a clown is no easy task. It takes Harpo three hours each
day to get ready. “It takes a half hour for makeup, 20 minutes to load my
pockets and the rest for hair and clothing.” Very few people have seen
36
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
spotlight
Harpo without his makeup, and even fewer know who the man
behind the clown nose really is.
Booked frequently, Harpo spends each day going from one
event or venue to another. Sometimes he also simply shows up and
entertains. When not on the payroll, Harpo depends on the
generosity of the patrons to fund his expenses, meaning tips to pay
for transportation and other odds and ends.
Harpo has kept a journal for 30 years, and he is now in the
process of finishing a book about his life, work and experiences.
One of the many stories he has chronicled is about Frank Sinatra
and a hobby for which he was not well known.
“In the late 1970s early ‘80s, I would perform at the Canyon
Hotel in Palm Springs. In those days, it was the hot spot for major
events and celebrity vacations, long before all the other major hotel
chains moved into the valley.
“In the main showroom, Frankie Ford and Andy Angel
performed a comedy musical act with Don Parks on drums. Robin
Miller performed in the lobby lounge. Frank Sinatra and his friends
had come in to see the Ford and Angel show. When Sinatra noticed
me standing next to Tori St. John, he got up, walked over and (in
mime movement with his hands) asked, ‘May I paint you?’ I was so
excited that naturally I shook my head up and down. Yes! Yes! Yes!
He thanked me with a big smile on his face then walked away. He
came back a few minutes later and handed me a gratuity that I have
saved all these years. I saved the gloves we shook hands with in a
plastic bag and never washed them. Sinatra painted clowns as one
of his hobbies.
“A few months later, I was asked to perform at his
granddaughter’s birthday party at Dominick’s Restaurant in
Rancho Mirage. Back then, I only charged $35 for an hour show, so
when he handed me a $100 bill I almost fell over. My friend Earl
Chaney, Mr. Clown in Las Vegas, said he also did parties for Frank
Sinatra. He recalls a time when he watched Frank sitting there,
wearing a party hat with his granddaughter on his lap—just like
any grandfather would.“
With a smile on his face and a bounce in his step, Harpo the
Clown will continue to make us laugh and to wonder: What would
it be like to be a clown?

interesting residents, visit harpotheclown.com

F
rom 1965 to 1978, Pro Football
Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff
dedicated his life to the National
Football League as a member of
the Oakland Raiders. During his tenure, he
established himself as one of football’s most
successful wide receivers, with a Super
Bowl title, 589 receptions and 8,974
receiving yards to his credit. Shortly after
his retirement, he accepted coaching
positions with several high schools and
colleges, and was ultimately hired by the
Raiders as a wide receivers coach in 1989.
On Feb. 15, 1999, his life changed
forever in the face of unspeakable tragedy:
His daughter was murdered by her
boyfriend when she was just 20-years-old.
From that point forward, he decided to
devote his life to an entirely different cause,
that of preserving her memory through
the development of the Biletnikoff
Foundation.
The
non-profit
organization
commemorates Tracey Biletnikoff’s life and
untimely death by educating young
women about the correlation between
substance abuse and domestic violence,
while at the same time helping substance
abusers overcome their addictions, discover
their talents and lead long, fruitful lives. In
support of this mission, the foundation is
currently raising money to establish a new
home for at-risk teenagers of the Koinonia
Family Services program, which is
headquartered in Loomis, Calif., and has
locations across California and Nevada. The
organization provides housing to children as
they recover from human trafficking and
drug and alcohol abuse.
To raise more funds for the home, set to
be built later this year and known officially
as Tracey’s Place of Hope, Biletnikoff and
the Oakland Raiders will host the 10th
annual Fred Biletnikoff Hall of Fame Golf
Classic Invitational on April 28. For the
first time in the history of the event, it will
be held at Ruby Hill Golf Club in
Pleasanton, Calif., one of the area’s most
exclusive private country clubs.
Opened in 1996 on property that
formerly housed a winery, Ruby Hill Golf
Club was the first Jack Nicklaus Signature
course in northern California. It features a
wide array of challenges for golfers of all
skill levels, from elevation changes and
water hazards to bent-grass greens and
well-contoured bunkers. Although it
offers golfers five sets of tees to choose
from, it remains the region’s longest Jack
Nicklaus design, measuring 7,392 yards
from the championship tees.
Autograph signing
As usual, some of Fred’s closest friends
will support his foundation and the legacy
of Tracey’s life by participating in the
Invitational. Among those scheduled to
attend in 2014 are Pro Football Hall of
Famers Willie Brown and Ted Hendricks,
Oakland Raiders legends Tim Brown and
Rod Woodson, and actor Alan Thicke, star
of the hit television show Growing Pains.
Actors and former professional
athletes, along with dozens of amateur
golfers, will play 18 holes in groups of five.
Each fivesome will consist of four amateurs
and one actor or athlete. Before and after
the invitational, which is set to begin with
an 11 a.m. shotgun start, participants will
also compete in a variety of contests.
After enjoying a continental breakfast,
a majority of those participating will
compete in a putting contest, which will
award $5,000 to the winner. As the putting
contest concludes near Ruby Hill’s 18th
green, four contestants will randomly be
chosen to participate in a $100,000
shootout after the invitational. The
shootout will occur on the 18th fairway,
giving each of the four contestants one
opportunity to hole-out from 166 yards. If
they do, they will not only win $100,000,
but also receive one of three trips for two: a
getaway to Scotland with four rounds of
golf at four British Open courses, tickets for
Super Bowl XLIX or tickets for the 2015
Masters Tournament.
In addition to food and beverages
offered before and during the tournament
from vendors such as Ruth’s Chris Steak
House, Cold Stone Creamery and
Anheuser-Busch, there will also be a
scrumptious dinner at Ruby Hill’s
clubhouse after the conclusion of the
shootouts. As they eat and socialize with
one another, participants will also attend a
live auction, during which they can bid on
prizes such as a trip to Hawaii for the NFL’s
2015 Pro Bowl festivities, complete with
ocean views from a gorgeous condo.
Tipperary Crystal trophies will also be
imported to the clubhouse, directly from
Ireland.
Despite the Invitational’s first-rate
ambiance, from the delectable food to the
live auction, all of the golfers have agreed to
participate for one primary reason: to
honor Tracey Biletnikoff’s life by helping
thousands of young women overcome the
challenges of substance abuse and live long,
productive lives.

B
efore the desert landscape was dotted with golf courses, a different type of
ball was being hit about the valley: the tennis ball. With tremendous
foresight and a love for the fantastic desert weather, Pearl McManus,
daughter of Palm Springs pioneer John Guthrie McCallum, founded the
Palm Springs Tennis Club in 1937.
Set against the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, the Tennis Club was
built into the side of the rocks. The original grounds included two tennis courts,
locker rooms, a large oval swimming pool, a clubhouse, a bar and a cafe. As word
about the club spread, socialite McManus and her husband, Austin, hastily added
a number of bungalows to accommodate the growing number of international
and celebrity guests.
Almost instantaneously, the Palm Springs Tennis Club became a popular retreat
from the bustling world of Hollywood, an escape for the rich and famous from the
prying paparazzi and fans. An invitation from Pearl and Austin McManus to the
Tennis Club was highly coveted and included a weekend of tennis, swimming,
downtown nightlife and perhaps a secret rendezvous or two.
In the early years, actors Errol Flynn, Ron Colman and Gilbert Roland frequented
the club. As the guest list grew, so did the celebrity status. Rhonda Fleming, Zsa Zsa
and Eva Gabor, Dinah Shore and Kirk Douglas all were guests. Other regulars were
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014

approximately $12 million in the Tennis
Club, which included the building of
award-winning Spencer’s at the Mountain
restaurant. “Spencer’s was created to be a
place of collective energy for the Tennis
Club, a gathering place,” Matzner explains.
“The concept was intended to be much
smaller; however, we also committed to
having it operated on a financial break-even
and, as it turned out, it required a larger
facility attracting people from a larger area
to do that.”
Currently, the property features 11
tennis courts (nine lighted), a hotel, pool
and spa recreation area, a fitness center,
massage facility and Spencer’s. This highly
regarded tennis club is also a very active
club offering lessons, tournaments and
events, and it is open daily, year round. It
boasts a waiting list for membership that
continues to grow. However, what grabs
the immediate attention of members and
guests is the stunning landscaping that
combines new flora with generation flora
dating back to 1937.
In 1939, the property was described
this way: “With gnarled old mesquite trees
shading the lawns, the Tahquitz stream
Edgar Bergen, Red Skelton, Bob and
Delores Hope, Randolph Scott, Marilyn
Monroe and Frank Sinatra, among many
others.
The Tennis Club flourished and was
eventually sold in 1967. The new owners,
Harry and Elaine Chaddick, immediately
started on an expansion of the property,
adding more single-story bungalows, new
amenities and finally the two-story Tennis
Club Hotel.
In 1980, the property changed hands
once again, purchased this time by Watt
Industries. Among the hot commodities in
those days were timeshares, so the Tennis
Club was converted into a timeshare
property. The hotel was remodeled, and
when it was finished it featured studios
with kitchenettes.
By 1985, the 25-acre resort was a
successful sellout, prompting a group of
investors and fans to purchase the club,
forming the Palm Springs Tennis Club
Owners Association.
As with any owner association, there
must be board members and directors.
One such board member, as well as
president of the Members Association,
which manages and operates the tennis
facilities, is successful businessman,
philanthropist and Coachella Valley
resident Harold Matzner. Though
44
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
Matzner has little or no interest in talking
about himself, he willingly talks about the
Tennis Club and its uniqueness.
“This is a nonprofit tennis club and my
interest in the club is and was to create a
first-class tennis facility that takes care to
include senior tennis members in their
mid-60s, 70s and 80s. We even have a few
in their 90s,” Matzner says with great pride.
“We are very committed to our senior
membership, with about 100 out of our
370 members in their 70s.”
A tennis player himself since the age of
55, Matzner made an investment of
bubbling through the grounds, and lofty
palms leaning toward a clear oval
swimming pool: the setting is one of the
loveliest in California.”
Fast-forward to 2014 and all one need
add to the 1939 description is “Stunning
beyond compare.”

f you have a special occasion coming up, or if you simply
want to vacation at one of the most gracious resorts in
Mexico, make a reservation at Esperanza, an Auberge
Resort.
Set atop the bluffs of Punta Ballena (Whale Point), a tenminute drive from Cabo San Lucas, Esperanza has everything
one expects at a Relais & Chateaux property—and then some. In
addition to the 57 casitas and suites of the hotel, the resort also
offers 60 privately owned villas and 36 private residences.
Accommodations range from one to four bedrooms and from
925 to 4,000 square feet. Design elements include handcrafted
furnishings, and rooms feature custom amenities,
complimentary Wi-Fi and iPod docking stations, among other
niceties.
The grounds are equally distinctive, and everywhere in the
resort artwork is displayed and appreciated. An open-air
sculpture garden is one aspect of this dedication to Mexican and
Latin American artists. The garden features 36 works in a
peaceful, meditative setting. Throughout the resort are also
paintings by well-known contemporary Mexican artists.
Guests have a choice of dining options. Casual restaurants
offer traditional Mexican dishes, American cuisine such as
burgers and salads, or pizza. At Cocina del Mar, helmed by an
Argentinian-born chef, a three- or four-course menu is offered
featuring the food and culinary styles of North, Central and
South America.
The menu at the Lounge Bar & Humidor includes appetizers
and light meals as well as specialty cocktails. But in the evening,
there’s extensive tequila and cigar menu as well as entertainment.
When it comes to activities, guests at Esperanza have an
embarrassment of riches.
First, the hotel offers access to four of the area’s most coveted
championship golf courses, and tee times can be arranged
through the concierge staff. Cabo del Sol includes a Jack
Nicklaus-designed course and a Tom Weiskopf layout. At
Palmilla, Nicklaus has crafted 27 holes of spectacular Baja golf,
while Cabo Real features a Robert Trent Jones-designed course.
Roy Dye designed the course at Cabo San Lucas Country Club.
Greens fees range from $175 to $250.
If it’s pure indulgence or revitalization you long for, the Spa at
Esperanza easily delivers. Incorporating the elements of the
surrounding landscape—water, light, desert and sea—spa
therapies pamper and restore. The facilities include a steam cave,
soaking tubs, a VIP couples’ treatment room, sunning garden,
yoga and Pilates studio and outdoor showers. There’s also a salon
and a full-service fitness facility.
Esperanza offers a rich mix of cultural activities and
experiences: Spanish and salsa lessons, painting classes, guided
tours of San Jose del Cabo’s distinctive art district and a guided
tour of the area’s top boutiques, whether the goal is to find crafts,
jewelry, antiques or any of the other tempting items sold in local
shops. When you have a shopping assistant, it’s hard to go wrong.
Within the resort, each day or evening presents a new
experiential opportunity. On one night it’s a celebration of all
things Mexican, with specialty foods, strolling musicians and
local artisans, with the night culminating in a spectacular
fireworks display.
The executive chef offers cooking classes, after which
participants enjoy the fruits of their labor on the beach, served up
with a traditional mojito. Professional cigar rollers demonstrate
their skills and the cigar-making process, with private classes
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014

offered upon request. There’s an evening
dedicated to the discovery of Mexico’s
history of winemaking, the country’s wine
regions and its wines, during which wine is
paired with Baja cuisine. Of course, one
must know about tequila, too, and for that
the resort has a Master Tequilero who
offers tastings and initiates guests into the
resort’s Blue Agave Society.
The Southern Baja region is near
perfect when it comes to weather, with
some 350 sunny days, refreshing evenings,
low humidity and cool breezes. Average
daily temperatures are in the 70s, with
summer averaging mid-80s to 90s. Should
you need a little extra cooling off at the
pool, however, the hotel has a menu of
complimentary “refreshers” on hand,
including frozen popsicles, snow cones,
fruit skewers, misters and aloe cubes. Hand
and foot massages are also available.
Although there are indulgences and
temptations galore, Esperanza also has a
focus on wellness and fitness.
Complimentary yoga classes are offered
daily in the 1,000-square-foot yoga studio,
and all rooms include complimentary yoga
mats and fitness DVDs. Recently, the resort
launched an Auberge Trainer in Residence
program, which brings in guest instructors
from some of the top private health clubs
and studios in the U.S. There’s also a fournight Find Your Balance wellness package,
56
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014
which includes spa treatments, fitness
classes, cooking classes and healthy “aguas
frescas” drinks, the resort’s signature fresh
and healthy beverages.
At Esperanza, it’s all about what you
want. Decide what that is, and the resort
staff will help you attain it. If only life could
be that simple.

seasonally, though you might find
appetizers such as Hawaiian ahi tacos or
seared diver scallops, and entrées might
include prosciutto-wrapped duck breast

Copley’s on Palm Canyon
This is the best time of the year to enjoy
dining out in the desert because the
seasonal residents and visitors are heading

get a great meal. The Coachella Valley has
some of the best restaurants in Southern
California, and you’ll find many with patios

Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs).
Copley’s opened in 2004 in the Uptown

belonged to Cary Grant. The area wasn’t
yet stylish, but Chef Andrew Copley, his
wife, Juliana, and his business partner Greg
Butterfield turned the property into a gem
with a cozy restaurant/bar and a lawn for
Spencer’s Restaurant (701 W. Baristo

Wadlund and attached to the Palm Springs
Tennis Club resort, Spencer’s serves
breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday
brunch. The menu features such goodies
as banana-stuffed French toast and crabcake Benedict for breakfast, while the
lunch menu ranges from a Maine lobster
club sandwich to corned beef hash. For
dinner, try Moroccan breast of chicken or
Dijon-coated New Zealand rack of lamb.

Reminiscent of an English pub, Babe’s
features warm dark wood and an inviting
coziness. Known for its award-winning

that nicely complements the brews. The
secret here is in the smoking process, not
heavy sauces or rubs. Entrees include BBQ

t’s a shame. The new McLaren P1 is sold out. Yes, all the
scheduled vehicles for production were snatched up in
pre-sale faster than the P1 does a split at Nuremburg.
The next time someone tells you about the global
economic downturn, just look them in the eye and say, “P1.”
That will stop them in their twisted thinking. This $1.15
million vehicle didn’t even hit the street before people
jumped at the chance to drop a heavy chunk of change on it.
It’s a testament to the fact that the P1 may be the most
innovative and exciting car to hit the market in decades, and
it’s also one of the fastest production cars in history. That’s a
recipe for true love.
McLaren has only recently released the performance
numbers for the P1 and they are staggering. According to
the company, this beauty does 0-60 in under three seconds.
There’s no slowing down after that either, with the car
hitting the 124 mph mark in under seven seconds. The
electronically limited top speed of the P1 is 217 mph. These
are numbers that NASA would envy on its way to orbit.
McLaren confidently touts them with the nonchalance that
comes with being the world’s most exclusive supercar
maker.
The P1 makes the F1 look nearly pedestrian in its stance.
Carbon-composite panels make the doors appear ready to
fly off the hinges. Open them and you’ll see them rocket
skyward, easily satisfying the true supercar enthusiast in
you. The P1 seats two rather than the three that the F1
crammed into the small cockpit, and, as you can imagine,
everything is where it should be. The downsizing stopped
when it came to horsepower.
The P1 punches 903 horsepower. How that comes from
an eight-cylinder, 3.8-liter engine is magic akin to Merlin’s
work more than McLaren’s. The gas engine is paired with a
DesertGolf&tennis • AprilMAy2014

57-pound electric motor. Engineers put
dynamite to the “box” and created a new
system for joining electric motors with
gasoline motors. The result is one of the
most powerful pound-for-pound engines
ever made for a production car. Keeping
the engine under 12 cylinders keeps the
weight low. The P1 engineers created a stiff
aluminum that transfers power better
than the aluminum in their F1 or 12C
models.
The P1 calls its quick-delivery power
system the IPAS (Instant Power Assist
System). Using the IPAS, drivers rush all the
available electrical power to the engine
when the hammer is dropped. Push
another button and the Drag Reduction
System (DRS) deploys an active rear wing
to minimize drag. McLaren claims that
1,323 pounds of down force is achieved at
160 mph. This exceeds any other
production road car in history.
McLaren has taken extreme measures
to save weight. The sub frame of the P1 is

there’s always 2015. Get ready to put your
order in but have your finances in order.
The $1.15 million price tag isn’t likely to
drop in the next 12 months.
And that’s a true shame.

entire vehicle is only 3,100 pounds. There’s
very little carpet, no sound deadening and
the exhaust weights just 37 pounds. The
P1 watches its weight like an Olympic

Climb inside this fantastic machine and
you’ll find few frills. Seats aren’t plush; they
too are carbon fiber with little foam for

with well-designed, refreshing water
features. You’re not thinking of stowing
your clubs until fall, are you?
Introducing Zenergy Golf Collection
Ticking off the flattering on-trend
silhouettes, amazing fit with extended
sizes, and easy-care fabrics that are designed
for comfort, Stauber extols the new line for
its versatility, adding that this active
sportswear moves easily from morning’s 18
holes to lunch at the club to around-town
errands. These are definitely must-haves
when there’s no break in the action.
The Zenergy collection includes the
Zebra Foil snap-placket pullover with
three-quarter-length sleeves, a nice
pairing with the Golf Hannah crop pants
in tan and an additional complementary
color. Both are machine washable
polyester/spandex.
The
versatile
reversible vest can be worn over the line’s
Zip Mock Top and Zebra Print Skort. All
are machine washable polyester/spandex.
At stores or online at chicos.com.
Sarah Watermann, proprietor of the
Desert Golf Connection, fills the racks,
shelves and cases of her store with what are
known as lifestyle concepts. “Golf is only
one leisure activity, and carrying
sportswear designed for that alone would
be limiting,” she says. “It’s much more
sensible to remember the cross-utilization
of sportswear that is worn on the course
and later on to dinner.”
Waterman notes that every item
should be machine washable, easy-care and
travel-friendly, and she recommends
avoiding items that must be dry-cleaned.
Happy Hat Trick
Avid golfer Eve de Jong loves the game,
but her day job as a beauty esthetician
prompts her to never leave the house
without her washable, crushable hat with
its four-inch wide brim by Wallaroo. This
desert-must is also embedded with UPF
50+ sun protection, which blocks 97.5
percent of the sun’s UV rays. “It protects
my hair and my face from the brutal
damage of the sun,” de Jong says, adding
that she applies and re-applies a cooling
spray-on sunscreen during the hours she’s
on the course.
Made in America, the Wallaroo Hat
Company was founded by two women in
Boulder, Colo., who are committed to
donating 1 percent of their profits to skin
cancer research, education and prevention
in the United States. Desert Golf
Connection
Get a Grip
“My must-have for my golf game is a
pair of gloves that grip the club for a stable
swing, yet with mesh that allows tanning
and prevents those ugly white ‘mittens,’”
says Sandra Gilhousen, who lives in La
Quinta.
The Safari Tan mesh is perfect for that
purpose and is trimmed with soft
sheepskin Cabretta leather. Two styles: Full
fingers, or open tips to show off a manicure.
The gloves are available in many prints. At
Pete Carlson’s Golf and Tennis.

Luxury timepieces are rarely displayed on anonymous wrists in ad campaigns these days.
Marketing efforts typically match a high-end watch with a celebrity brand ambassador or two, or
even an entire sports team. The message is clear: wear the watch, live the life.
fineJewelry
Tag Heuer has a series of cross
promotions with sports figures, including
LPGA golfer Suzann Pettersen and Grand
Slam tennis champ Maria Sharapova. The
brand has also established a strong A-list
celebrity connection with representatives
such as Cameron Diaz and Leonardo
DiCaprio. Sharapova’s favorite Tag Heuer
timepiece is the Formula I Steel and
Ceramic Diamonds. The 37mm version
features steel bezels with sixty diamonds,
ceramic inlay, scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal and water resistance to 200 meters.
It retails for $3,200.
Tag Heuer’s Link Collection is notable
and includes the ladies 29mm Link watch
with roman numerals and a purple face that
sells for approximately $22,000. This more
delicate model is made entirely of solid 18K
rose gold and displays a dial with eleven Top
Wesselton diamonds.
For the men, there’s the Tag Heuer
Carrera Mikrograph watch with a price tag
of $50,000. This advanced technological
creation features 62 jewels, up to 42 hours
of power reserve and two balance wheels
that are able to have 28,800 vibrations per
hour for the watch and 36,000 vibrations
per hour for the chronograph. It has a
central blue chrono hand that revolves fully
every second.
To be fully accessorized with Tag Heuer,
buyers will want to check out the
company’s new L-TYPE sunglasses in nine
different models, with features such as
handcrafted leather on the exterior and
beta-titanium frames, priced between
$1,190 and $1,340.
Piaget luxury watches have been
identified with the sport of polo for 35
years. The company’s Polo collection
includes the Piaget Polo Forty Five Lady
Watch in several variations. The 45mm, for
example, features rose gold, titanium and
steel with a black band, priced at $70,000.
A 38mm version displays an 18K rose-gold
dial with 386 brilliant-cut diamonds and a
white alligator strap and sells for $68,000.
La Ellerstina polo team in Argentina
joined forces with Piaget at the end of 2013,
debuting Piaget’s sponsorship and
partnership. The members of the Ellerstina
Piaget polo team include brothers Facundo,
Gonzalo and Nicolas Pieres, along with
Mariano Aguerre. Their black polo shirts
display the Piaget logo.
Soccer icon David Beckham serves as
the Breitling brand ambassador, in
particular for the 46mm Breitling
Transocean Chronograph Unitime,
appealing to world travelers and able to
cross 24 time zones. Options include a steel
or 18K red-gold case, a black or white dial,
crocodile or leather band and water
resistance to 100 meters. The price ranges
from $30,965 to $57,775.
The Breitling for Bentley collection—as
in Bentley Motors—offers several models,
including the Bentley Lightbody QP
Midnight Carbon, which sells for $40,750;
the Bentley Barnato Racing Red Gold (a
limited edition of only 500 watches), which
sells for $55,850; and the Bentley Mulline
(James Bond’s watch in the 2011 novel
Carte Blanche), which sells for $175,000
pre-owned.
Hublot not only identifies with brand
ambassadors in the world of sports, it has
also added a charity twist. After partnering
with the L.A. Lakers, Hublot made NBA
star and known watch-lover Kobe Bryant its
newest brand ambassador in 2013. It then
unveiled the King Power Black Mamba, a
nod to Bryant’s NBA nickname. The watch,
priced at $25,200, is a limited edition of 250
pieces and features a sapphire dial with
satin-finished, gold-plated appliques, a black
snake strap and purple dial details in honor
of the L.A. Lakers’ uniform colors. A
portion of the proceeds of this watch go to
the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family
Foundation.
Hublot previously partnered with
another NBA player, Dwyane Wade of the
Miami Heat, to create the Hublot King
Power D-Wade. Wade collaborated with
the brand to design the watch, which sells
for $27,500 and features a dial resembling a
basketball and a strap with a basketball netlike pattern. The micro-blasted black
ceramic case and self-winding chronograph
movement also has the black and red color
scheme of the Miami Heat uniforms.
Proceeds from sales of the watch—a limited
edition of 500 pieces—are directed to
Wade’s charity, the Wade World
Foundation.
Luxury watch branding is a competitive
business involving careful strategizing as to
which celebrities or famous athletes best
represent each brand’s message and image.
Ultimately, the watch has to fit your own
lifestyle, with consideration toward
materials, precision, workmanship and
price.
