“I’m jealous of my sister,” admits Carson Daly and February are when I’m able to play the most,” he says. “The rest with a laugh. As incredulous as this may sound of the year is crazy busy.” A past winner of the former Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Pro from the popular radio and TV personality, he Am, Daly returned to the desert this year for the Humana has good reason. “I’m jealous because she has Challenge Pro Am. He is happy with all of the changes made to the relocated with her family to the desert to live tournament and with the focus on health and wellness. “It was an full-time. I can easily see myself doing that also,” he adds, surely to the delight of his parents, Pattie Daly Caruso and Richard Caruso, longtime Coachella Valley residents.

If the name Carson Daly is only vaguely familiar, you aren’t in sync with of-the-moment TV. Daly is the former host of MTV’s Total Request Live and current host of the wildly successful televised singing competition The Voice . As ecstatic and amazed as Daly is with the success of The Voice , it’s his long-running late- night show, Last Call with Carson Daly , that’s his baby. The show, which premiered in 2002 and airs weeknights at 1:30 a.m., turned Daly into one of the longest tenured hosts in late-night television. A California native, Daly grew up in Santa Monica. Grateful that his stepfather, Richard, introduced him to the game of golf as a young boy, Daly was truly bit by the golf bug in high school, where he became a star player on the Santa Monica High School golf team. After graduating in 1991, Daly continued to hone his game in the Coachella Valley, after moving here to attend College of the Desert. In fact, there was a time when he had aspirations of becoming a Tour player.

“I tried to qualify for the U.S. Open at Ironwood when I was out here and playing well. I had a disastrous hole, and I think that was the turning point for me. I would have tried on the then Nike Tour, probably given it a shot, tried to play a few events, see how it would have goneI would have like to have done something. But we’ll never know.” What we do know is that Daly has worked diligently in the entertainment business and achieved success and popularity. Humble and appreciative of his life, he quips, “I’ve never had more invites to golf tournaments.” Daly at the 2005 Bob These days, he continues to be passionate about the game and Hope Chrysler Classic plays as much as possible, often in the Coachella Valley. “January

honor to be asked back by Humana and the Clinton Foundation; being in the desert holds such great memories for me.” Daly believes adamantly that the game of golf helps build strong character. “I like to think I’m a decent person; really, a lot of the things that I learned were from playing the game of golf, so making those correlations between life and golf is very important to do when you’re young. You’ve got to sit back and let somebody else go first sometimes; there are some great lessons in there.” At this time Daly does not belong to a country club, but GMs take note: “I’m open for celebrity memberships from anyone who wants to give me one,” Daly laughs. Perhaps his phone is already ringing with offers. It seems to be a little-known fact that Daly and his father played a lot of junior golf with Earl and Tiger Woods, and that’s what comes to mind when the TV star is asked who would make up his ultimate foursome. “I have such great memories of playing golf in my youth; I have to have my dad in there, that’s for sure. And I remember playing in a Father/Son 2012 Voice Winner Cassadee Pope and Daly tournament with Earl and Tiger. We had so

n 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus acquired a galleon and set sail from Spain, crossing the Atlantic in Isearch of the East Indies. What he discovered instead was the Americas. In 1990, R. D. Hubbard set sail in search of joining a golf club in the Coachella Valley. What he discovered was Bighorn Golf Club, where he became the seventh member and acquired two lots. Nothing extraordinary about that, you might say; however, after five years Bighorn Golf Club still had only 50 members, and the developer, Westinghouse, decided to sell. Hubbard’s interest in purchasing the property was probably less than lukewarm, but as prices continued to soften, he gathered a few homeowners and purchased the club. “Our only interest was to protect our property investment,” he says. “We really didn’t expect to make any money out of the deal.” How things change. If you asked Dee Hubbard today, he would say, “It’s probably the best investment I ever made.” But that investment didn’t come from sitting on his hands and hoping that a few more members might join.

Canyons Course Hole 6

Instead, he saw the big picture, supporting it with a long-term vision. First, he acquired more land. Then he invited famed architect Tom Fazio to come in and design the Canyons course. It was a brilliant move that produced a 36- hole, high-end residential development on an amazing site just a few minutes’ drive from Palm Desert’s restaurants, shops and nightlife, as well as El Paseo, the Rodeo Drive of the Coachella Valley. The Bighorn of today is very different from the Bighorn of 1996. The Club has earned an extraordinary reputation as one of the world’s most luxurious golf-course communities, offering not only 36 holes of exciting golf surrounded by spectacular residences, but also an abundance of amenities.

Instead, the ground floor will accommodate members’ exotic and classic cars, while the mezzanine floor will house a lounge gallery where members can enjoy light snacks and cocktails while taking in a view of the cars below—and, I daresay, a few of the owners adding a final touch of polish to their precious possessions. Golf remains integral to the club. The first golf course at Bighorn, the Mountains course, was designed by Arthur Hills in 1989 . Hills had a breathtaking canvas of natural desert and mountains with huge changes in elevation. In the early days of the Mountains course, the front nine was considered challenging. Under the new ownership, this nine was softened, and the nines were also reversed in order to get golfers away to a good start. The front nine today comprises spectacular desert golf on relatively soft inclines. The terrain on the back nine is akin to a roller coaster, offering Mountain Course Hole 4 some incredible holes. One hole in particular has a tee featuring a 200-foot

But what really sets Bighorn apart? It all comes back to Hubbard’s vision. Carl Cardinalli, vice president of development for the club, says, “R.D. Hubbard has created an exceptional community focused on lifestyle with world-renowned amenities, prompting investment and support by owners and members, all without assessments to the members.” When asked what he considers to be the key to Bighorn’s massive success, Hubbard echoes Cardinalli’s statement. “Last year alone the real estate sales were around $150 million. The range of amenities offered by Bighorn has made this Canyons Steak House possible.

HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition One of my favorite video games is about to get its yearly update: Tiger Woods Golf by EA Sports. I’ve spent countless hours perfecting my game on Xbox, and unlike in real golf, I have had several holes-in- one on this system. Of course, it always happens when I am alone. Well the folks at Hauppauge have helped me share my success with my friends. The HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition can record high-definition video from my Xbox360 (PS3 or computer), which can then be easily shared on YouTube. Or you can create your own live-streaming channel. The cool thing is you can do this while playing and have no delay at all using the video-pass-through setting! Play your favorite game and share or review your best footage. A record button on top of the unit makes it easy to start and stop your recording. I envision a contest down the line to see who gets the first hole-in-one on Tiger Woods 14!! Check out all the specs at hauppauge.com

28 Desert Golf MAGAzine • April MAy 2013 Hot Gear Bluetooth Sound Bar The Pyle Audio 300 Watt Bluetooth Sound Bar is so cool that I had about 10 minutes to test it myself. After my 10 minutes of testing, I took a break, went upstairs and when I came down it was off the counter and in my 18-year-old son’s room blasting away! This is a sound bar with built in FM tuner, able to read media through a USB or SD cards in addition to the standard audio RCA inputs. The USB and SD card input reads MP3 files as well as WMA format. You can also stream audio from any device with Bluetooth. This unit sounds great and delivers clear, crisp audio. The 300 watts of power and 8 Ohm subwoofer mean it can crank. Visit pyleaudio.com for all the technical specs.

Divoom Bluetune-solo Another great little Bluetooth speaker is the Divoom Bluetune-solo . This is a portable Bluetooth speaker that you can take with you anywhere for great sound. What makes it unique is a built-in microphone, so you can use the device for conference calls or to take a call while listening to your favorite music. With just a touch of a button, the speaker becomes a two-way speakerphone. This small speaker (60mm round x 72mm high) puts out some great audio.

29 April MAy 2013 • Desert Golf MAGAzine The thing that golfers long for in their golf game is power! The that we go to the gym and slowly build up muscles. We start slowly practical result of that power is the ability to hit the ball farther, and gradually build that power over time by challenging ourselves which is what every golfer wants to achieve. each day. Second, we need to understand where power is located Given that, the first thing to understand is that creating more inside the human body and how to tap into those power muscles in power is no different than anything else that we do as human the golf swing. beings: To achieve it, it must be conditioned daily, in the same way

Photos by Kenneth Malone Finding the Power

The strongest muscles in the human body are located utilize their power muscles to create a variety of power levels in their underneath us: glutes, hamstrings and quads. Yet a good majority of swing. golfers do not utilize these power muscles in their golf swings. When it comes to golf swings, the three most powerful forces are A common flaw that I see among higher-handicap golfers is that leverage, gravity and centrifugal force or rotation. The goal in their legs are quiet throughout the swing, forcing the upper body to generating power in the swing is to have the ability to tap into these try to compensate to generate power. By contrast, the common forces, not only to make the ball go farther but to control the distance thread I see among the best golfers in the world is that they effectively the ball travels with greater precision. So how do we do that?

Storing Up Energy

In order to create energy, we must first store energy. It’s a fundamental principle: For every action, there will be an opposite and equal reaction. This principle holds true in the golf swing. In fact, the golf swing is a series of causes and effects during which actions create reactions. What golf instructors try to do is help their students create the best sequence of motion in the swing (action) in order to produce the best result (reaction). It’s my belief that the sole purpose of the backswing is to store up energy by loading our legs as the upper body winds up. Since the muscles in the lower body are designed vertically, the only way to engage those lower-body muscles is to load them vertically or squat. This motion is no different than that of s tennis player loading his legs as he winds up to hit a winning forehand.

Releasing the Energy

Once the lower body is “loaded,” it can use the ground as a lever to generate power. In my photos, you can see how I am using my legs to generate the appropriate amount of power for the desired distance. I engage my legs in the backswing by loading them as my shoulders wind up. This action puts me in a strong position to use the ground as a lever to release the energy in the forward swing. Notice that I have loaded my legs equally in both the driver and iron swings; however, I utilize the ground at different power levels in the forward swing, depending on the club. In the iron swing, my right foot is lower to the ground through impact, therefore creating less power from leverage. In the driver swing, my right foot is higher through impact, which creates greater power. The process is a chain reaction that starts in the ground and makes its way up through the legs, releasing rotational force provided by the hips with the shoulders instantly following. This, in effect, is why the common thread of great golf swings is that the power works from the ground up, while the common flaw in poor golf swings is that the power works through the upper body from the top down. Once you understand this, you can practice it daily and condition your body to act and react appropriately—in other words, achieve more power and control distance more effectively. ______Rob Stanger is a contributing writer to Desert Golf Magazine

They must believe in Ntheir ability to meet the challenges of the task at hand each time they step up to the ball. Confidence, however, changes day- to-day and even shot to shot. It is easy to feel confident when things are going right; however, when performance is not at its best or the golfer is not experiencing success, confidence can be easily shaken. Famous football coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Everyone is confident when they are winning. Real confidence occurs when athletes are losing but are still able to maintain self-belief, or when they learn from their failures or mistakes and move on.”

The Path to Confidence Golfers who do not deal well with adversity or setbacks have a difficult time maintaining a positive mental attitude, which ultimately results in decreased performance.

he lenders are lending, the buyers are buying and the sellers are selling. It looks like the real estate market is back on track. In the first few years of the recent Trecession, it was shockingly difficult to get a mortgage loan, especially in comparison to how easy it was in the mid 2000s. I am happy to report that the loan process, although tedious, is manageable and possible. There are programs for second homes, investment properties, Jumbo loans and foreign nationals. Amazingly enough, anyone who did a short sale on their home at least three years ago might now be able to qualify to buy. So if you think that you might not be able to qualify for a loan, talk to a home-loan professional. You may be pleasantly surprised. If you are interested in purchasing, it is important to go through the qualification process with a lender in order to become prequalified. In this escalating market, we are seeing more multiple-offer situations, and an offer with a strong prequalification letter may sometimes be the accepted even over a higher-priced offer. That’s because agents and buyers know that a secure offer that can close is a better choice than a deal with risky or no financing in place. According to Broderick Perkins at Realtor.com, there are three steps to getting a mortgage:

Examine your finances. It’s important to know exactly where you stand financially so you can accurately determine a payment that you are comfortable with; don’t forget about taxes, dues, insurance and the general expenses of being a homeowner.

Shop for a loan. A little knowledge goes a long way in this step. There are two types of lenders: direct lenders and mortgage brokers. Direct lenders have money to lend while mortgage brokers work with many different lenders and programs. Ask about all the fees involved in the loan and process, keeping in mind that the lowest interest rate is not always the best deal. Make sure your lender is attentive to you. You, the consumer, are in the driver’s seat and have the power to move on to another lender at any time.

Apply for the Loan. This sounds like an easy enough task yet it can be the hardest part of buying a home. You will need to provide information about your job and income. Employment stability may be a factor. You will have to provide information about assets (property, cars, bank accounts and investments) and liabilities (auto loans, installment loans, mortgages, credit-card debt, household expenses and more). The lender will run your credit report to look at your FICO scores, which are very important when it comes to determining the rates and terms you will be offered. Your loan will then be submitted to an underwriter, who will either sign off on it or add conditions, such as proof of income and expenses or an appraisal of the property. Ask about any fees and always get a list of them upfront and in writing ; there’s no downside to asking and the upside is that the fees might be negotiable. Finally, keep in mind that your realtor can be a valuable resource as you go through this process. Once you have your pre-approval letter in hand, you can start the fun part: searching for the perfect home. In the desert, there are many communities to consider.

he 2014 Corvette is a re-introduction of some of the brand’s classic design elements, and the result is a car that is meaner, leaner and sexier than ever. Chevy is Tcalling the Corvette C7 the Stingray, a harkening back to yesteryear when Corvette embodied all that was the American muscle car. There is little doubt from first glance to detailed inspection that the C7 is every bit the car that Corvette has ever been. While more definitive bodylines give it a bit more dramatic appearance, the footprint hasn’t changed much. After all, this is a piece of Americana that designers dare not mess with too much for fear of losing the car’s fan base. Though early rumors were that the C7 might have a mid- mounted engine, those were simply rumors—perhaps ginned up to create buzz. In the end, the only noise needed is that coming from the quad exhausts embedded in the rear apron. Purists will have a lot to praise. An almost angry front end glides expectantly to the rear deck. A slightly brawnier looking hood adds bulk. Quintessential Stingray elements such as the side vents make grandfathers across America want to consider trading in their Cadillac for the sportier Vette. The truth is, there are few other cars in the world as recognizable as the Corvette, and the C7 is a good move in the right direction for a redesign. The most obvious changes in terms of body style are the squared taillights replacing the circular lights in the C6. With some resemblance to the current Camaro taillights, the look is certainly more aggressive if not entirely original. The more modern looking elements give “old timers” some reason to pause—but that’s likely to end as soon as the stoplight turns green. The 6.2-liter engine gives the C7 the fastest 0-to-60 time ever released in a production Corvette. In less than four seconds, the Stingray is breaking the 60 mph barrier. It’s estimated that the

The team working on the C7 went back to the drawing board to get the interior right. Decades-long complaints about lack of appointments inside the Corvette are silenced with the C7. Two different seats—a racing and a base model—are optional but comfortable. Gone are the plastic and faux chrome. Now the interior feels more like it’s part of the car that changed the American automotive landscape. From the gauges to the controls, the C7 will leave you feeling that you are the center of attention.

In Fiamme style report

ach January, the granddaddy of all golf-related merchandising shows spreads across three Eblocks and several floors of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. And as is true many years at the venerable PGA Merchandise Show, equipment and fashion dominated the vendor booths this year, with trendsetting apparel making an especially bold statement with new colors, new designs and new ideas about sportswear technology. Trending out of the 2013 limelight are wild neon colors, replaced by subtle blues, reds and greens. With the exception of Loudmouth Golf, which in keeping with its singularly independent style has just added Cupcakes, Drop Cloth, Shagadelic Pink and Old Glory to its color palette, it appears that blaringly bright is now fading to light. In addition to a change in hues, there has been a perceptible shift in the overall trend of golf fashion and gear at this year’s show, related to both technology and lifestyle. Designers are listening to what professionals and other players are saying, with the result that today’s clothing no longer resembles what we think of as classic golf attire. Instead, pieces are being produced that work on the golf course, at the gym or for a rendezvous with friends after a round. The look is golf smart and street smart, hybrid designs that make the clothing exceptionally versatile, yet with all the technological bells and whistles that enhance performance, too. One reason for this trend may be that manufacturers are no longer asking professionals just to wear their lines, they’re asking them to help design them as well. Oakley signed Bubba Watson to represent its apparel line and its new line of light shoes. Watson also influenced the 19th Hole Collection by Kentwool, which features the red and black colors of his alma mater, the University of Georgia, as well as the green Masters edition. oakley.com , shop.kentwool.com Keegan Bradley represents the red, white and blue of Tommy Hilfiger, while occasionally sporting evergreen and yellow solids and stripes, creating the all-around American boy look. tommy.com Graeme MacDowell teamed up with Irish company Kartel for his new line G-Mac, which is elegantly high- end country club style. kartel.ie/g-mac The key to great golf apparel today is its ability to take golfers from the course to Rodeo Drive without even a pause. In Fiamme, Italy’s finest golf apparel company, recently introduced its Primavera (Spring) Collection, which offers exactly the kind of hybrid style to do that. The line of hand-sewn, custom- designed men’s shirts features space-dyed, multicolored woven yarns. That subtle, elegant technique results in a soft rainbow-like effect visible within the woven fabrics. This stunning line of golf apparel can be found in country clubs, resorts and fine clothiers throughout North America. infiamme.net Just as golf wear for men is becoming both highly functional and beautifully fashionable, that same aesthetic has gained momentum for the ladies as well. Fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger has a line of shorts and skorts that can be worn just as appropriately on the course or at a charity luncheon. It’s all about sleek and sassy—and picking the right style for you. Hip-hugging shorts, for example, should stop right above the knee, while skorts are meant to be shorter, form fitting Tommy and provide just a touch of sexiness. tommy.com One style note we can all agree on is that the washed out, sweaty, wrinkled look is a thing of Hilfiger the past, outdated and unacceptable. Thanks to technological advances in sportswear, never before have there been so many products able to dramatically improve your game and meet the needs of your active lifestyle, wherever you are in golf ability or your life. The trends in golf fashion and gear are diversified enough to work for every type of player, from the tiniest of tots to the greatest icons of the game. The pros are already wearing and promoting the latest lines. Think of tournament fairways as the golf industry’s catwalks for the fashion trends of today and tomorrow. Like what you see? It will be coming to a pro shop near you shortly. Right now, as club shops clear out last year’s designs, general managers behind the scenes are getting ready to display the new lines recently purchased at the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. Racks and shelves will soon be loaded up with the latest offerings from manufacturers and designers, the latest colors and styles. But it’s not just about looks. When you invest in the newest lines, you are also taking advantage of and benefitting from the remarkable technology that continues to dominate the industry and up the value of golf wear—on and off the course. Consider that when you step onto the tee. Or Rodeo Drive.

Roberto Coin Boutique fine Jewelry

ith the official awards season now behind us, from the Golden Globes and Grammys to the Oscars, the standards have been set for the fashion and jewelry trends of 2013. As expected during the season Wwhen all the elite entertainers are sashaying down multiple red carpets, there was a dazzle here and a gasp there. The major gasp this year was over the necklace Carrie Underwood so elegantly wore at the Grammy Awards. It was a Johnathon Arndt piece featuring 381 carats of oval, pear, marquise and round brilliant- white diamonds. Reported cost: $31 million. Not surprising, no other neck adornment was able to trump Underwood’s as the standout of the season. Sure, there were a few statement necklaces that sparkled and made us look, but the award for most dazzling jewelry this year goes to earrings. Wearing oversized stones, shoulder-grazing drops or Stonehenge-like slabs, celebrities were careful to turn their heads slowly lest they injure themselves with the millions of dollars in gems and metals dangling from their earlobes. Brilliant white diamonds seemed to be the most prevalent gemstone, followed by colored diamonds, emeralds, rubies and opals, and even black enamel. A smattering of all-gold chandelier earrings made an appearance on the red carpets; however, minus the diamonds they were hardly showstoppers. Now that you’ve blurted out to everyone you know, “I must have those earrings,” it’s time to act. We’ve found several fine jewelers who are happy to indulge your desires and custom design the earrings of your dreams, with or without the limitations of a budget. But some of the styles already created will easily turn heads as well. The Roberto Coin Fantasia Earring collection consists of 18K white gold with black and white diamonds. There are three different styles, ranging in price from $9,100 to $10,700. To view this fine collection, visit Roberto Coin Boutique on El Paseo in Palm Desert, Calif. Coinusa.com As is true of all art, the beauty of jewelry is very much in the eye of the beholder, and trends are only one element of what designers believe will enhance our wardrobe or make us feel wonderful. In fact, it is often an emotional connection to a piece that makes it truly special, and jewelry that holds or evokes a memory is often the most valuable to us, regardless of the price. When we see such a piece we yearn to own it, wear it and enjoy it. El Paseo Jewelers understand that concept and thus offers its customers the utmost selection of one-of-a-kind pieces. Among them: 14K white gold, emerald and diamond earrings containing 2.67 carats of pear-shape emeralds, 1.40 carats of pear- shape diamonds and 1.44 carat total weight of round brilliants surrounding each pear shape and in the center of the earrings. Other red-carpet-worthy designs from this Coachella Valley jeweler include 18K yellow-gold-and-diamond dangle earrings containing 8.36 carat total weight of brilliant color and clarity. Prices are upon request. El Paseo Jewelers is located on El Paseo in Palm Desert. elpaseojewelers.com For the namedroppers—and the cachet that comes with the names in terms of value—we have Neil Lane, Lorraine Schwartz and Tiffany & Co. For the cutting-edge fashionista looking for the next marquis talent, we suggest visiting high-end art galleries. Jewelry design is an art and many gallery owners give designers space to show their private collections. A Gallery Fine Art in Palm Desert, known for exclusivity and for showcasing jewelry with attitude and superb design, is just such a place. Visit in person after previewing pieces at agalleryfineart.com The awards season and galas are over for most celebrities; however, for the country- club crowd they’ve only just begun. When it comes time to make your entrance, throw your shoulders back, keep your hair out of the way and dazzle the world with your exquisite earrings, all the while remembering that while celebrities only borrow their sparklers, yours are for keeps! ______Françoise Rhodes is a staff writer for Desert Golf Magazine and host of the Palm Desert-based “Golf is a 4 Letter Word’ radio program on Team 1010 KXPS.
