First up, a new, 8,000-seat stadium to complement the existing Stadium 1, the second-largest tennis stadium in the world with 16,100 seats and 44 luxurious suites. The new Stadium 2 was completed in February 2014, less than a month before the BNP Paribas Open’s WTA premier women’s qualifying matches began.

he most powerful tennis players aren't always the strongest. According to Glenn Erickson, director of tennis at the Palm TSprings Tennis Club, the secret to excellence at tennis is actually to use one's brain. “It's not about who can smack the ball the hardest,” Erickson says. “Tennis is like a chess game; it has to be cerebral. If you can play smarter you don't have to be as physical. Of course, being smart and strong are best!” Considered a cerebral player himself, Erickson spends seven hours a day on the courts, five days a week, just as he has done for 21 years at the club. He’s in charge of the tennis program and is a sought- after tennis instructor and coach with a wide portfolio of clients, including local high school students, tournament contenders and club members who strive to improve their game. When asked why they want to improve their amateur games at this point in their lives, Erickson replies, “To get better! It's always more fun if you can play—or do anything in life—better.” Erickson is a recognized name in tennis circles, having achieved notoriety in the senior circuit. His interest in the sport was ignited as an 11-year-old boy growing up in Yucca Valley, California.

Therefore, by the strictest of definitions, courses such as Sandhills in Nebraska and Arcadia Bluffs on Lake Michigan do not qualify. Although though they may have many of the links characteristics, they are not near the ocean—the most fundamental requirement. One of the first Americans to sing the praises of links golf was the great Bobby Jones, who said, “There is always some little favor of wind or terrain waiting for the man who has judgment enough to use it And there is a feeling of triumph, a thrill that comes with the knowledge of having done a thing well when a puzzling hole has been conquered by something more than mechanical skill.” Links golf has a much sought-after cache value. It is the purest and most sustainable form of golf. Fairways and greens are firm, they do not require a great deal of water and they need only a minimal amount of fertilizers and chemicals. Added value also comes from the rarity of these courses across the globe. Of the 34,000 golf courses that exist in the world, only about 250 are genuine links courses.

Sadly, only three years later, he died in a light-aircraft accident. Altogether I played in 12 British Opens. My best finish was third at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, Great Britain, in 1967. However, my second appearance at St Andrews was in 1970. After two rounds I was lying in fourth place and had the fortune to draw Jack Nicklaus in the penultimate match on day three. It was always a thrill to play with Jack Nicklaus, and even more so to shake hands with him on the first tee at St Andrews. On this occasion, we were welcomed on the tee by then Prime Minister of Great Britain, Edward Heath.

The golfing Gods clearly had extremely good hearing; Jack immediately three-putted the second green for a bogey 5!

To make this shot properly, I’m going to slide my hands down lower on the grip and hold the club with what I call a weaker grip, meaning both thumbs on top of the club with an open clubface. Ball position in relation to stance is also important. I want to slide the ball position back into the middle of my stance so the clubface will bottom out and be a little more shallow under the ball. Once the ball is in the correct location for this shot, I like the feeling of angling my left foot open to the target, which will also open up my hips and shoulders to the target. This open feeling helps me have the freedom to rotate left through the ball during the swing. In addition to making sure I have an open clubface, I want to I want to see a good inch of sand inbetween the ball and the club. That inch of sand is going to be a cushion to carry the ball out of the bunker.

Executive Chef Gregorio Stephenson Fine Dining
obuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa is known internationally for his fusion cuisine blending traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian ingredients. He worked at NMatsue Sushi restaurant in Tokyo for seven years after high school and, in 1973, was invited by a regular customer, a Peruvian entrepreneur of Japanese descent, to open a Japanese restaurant in Peru. Japanese ingredients were scarce there and Nobu had to create his own cuisine with what was available. Fast forward to today. Nobu has a culinary empire with 12 restaurants in the United States, 19 scattered around the globe and two on Crystal Cruises ships. Last year he added an Indian Wells pop-up restaurant during the BNP Paribas Open. Brian Leon, general manager at the Malibu Nobu and project manager for the tournament restaurant, imported his staff from Nobu restaurants all over the world. The team arrived in the desert a month before the tournament to get prepared. The plan was to serve the most popular dishes from the Malibu restaurant, and Leon was happily surprised by the agricultural abundance of the Coachella Valley. This year he’s going to take advantage of that, incorporating local produce such as dates into some of the dishes. The tennis menu offered many of Chef Nobu’s signature dishes, were aficionados of Nobu restaurants around the world and were including yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, king crab tempura with delighted with this version of the chef’s cuisine.

Last year he offered a lunch and bar menu from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and the full Chop House menu from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. With no clue as to what hungry spectators were going to eat, he ordered plenty of his signature, humanely raised, antibiotic-free beef, pork and lamb in advance, as well as wild, sustainable fish and organic produce. The staff was trained over a four-day period. The restaurant, seating 160 inside and 24 on the patio, had lines out the door. Televisions were set up to broadcast the tournament for waiting guests who were eventually summoned for a table on their cell phones. Morcus reports that the restaurant served 1,000 or more people a day, and he estimates that he made 200 decisions every hour while tweaking his menus frequently. Prime aged for a minimum of 28 days, Chop House steaks are seasoned with a house blend of sea salts, cracked black pepper and roasted fresh herbs.
