PGA West Stadium Course at La Quinta Resort Game Play

very year, every tournament, countless times during a season, golf fans mutter to themselves, and it goes something like this: “Man, what a life Ethose Tour guys have. Paid to travel around the country and stay in the best hotels and play the best golf courses? They've got it made in the shade.” The organizers of the Prestige at PGA West collegiate golf tournament have decided some of the country's top collegians should also stay in the best hotels and play the best golf courses, even if they don't get paid. No promises of shade are being made, either. This year, the 11th version of the Prestige, co-hosted by Stanford University and the University of California-Davis, is scheduled for Oct. 9-12 at the PGA West Stadium Course at La Quinta Resort in La Quinta, Calif. Tournament director and co-founder Mark Weissmann says that giving some of the top men's college golf programs in the country a chance to compete on world-class courses at a world class resort were key components of the core concept. “I talked with (TCU coach) Bill Montigel last week and he said his guys really love coming out here, love playing in the desert and love PGA West,” notes Weissmann, who has an extensive background in sports public relations and marketing. “So that's a good testimonial from one of the great coaches at one of the top programs in the nation.

“Stanford coach Conrad Ray said the same thing: ‘We want to play the best of the best at the best,’” Weissmann adds. “Stanford likes being co-host of this event because it helps everyone's program. It's a great experience for all the teams because we treat it like a major for the coaches, the players and the sponsors.” Montigel's TCU teams won five consecutive conference championships from 2001-2005, and have won the last two championships at the Prestige. The Horned Frogs will be back again this year to try and make it three in a row. Taking on TCU and the two co-hosts will be Arizona State, Cal State Long Beach, Michigan State, Pepperdine, Cal, Central Florida, Oregon, Pacific, Washington, San Diego, North Carolina-Wilmington and Vanderbilt. The tournament started when Weissmann and UC-Davis men's golf coach Cy Williams were discussing the fact that there was no major college tournament in the desert, and there wasn't really a good reason for it. Weissmann's son Lee, who played on a California Interscholastic Federation state champion golf team at Palm Desert High School in 1998, was a freshman on the UC-Davis golf team at the

locations and places like Washington and Oregon and New England and they come down here and get to experience perfect weather every day, great hospitality and great golf courses with emerald-green fairways surrounded by mountains. So the more people we can introduce to what we have here, the more people we send back to their hometowns to sing our praises.” Another aspect of the tournament that Weissmann is particularly proud of is the strength of the field — not just on the course but also in the classroom. Weissmann says the tournament has always been dedicated to having the top colleges in terms of scholarship by inviting TCU University men's golf team receiving its first place team award schools that are also among the country's top 100 academic institutions. The goal is

time, and Weissmann could see his son being a member of UC-Davis teams that would compete in the tournament as co- hosts. That part of Weissmann's vision went unfulfilled. Lee played for a short time at UC-Davis before shoulder injuries ended his playing days. However, he went on to serve in the student senate and composed the referendum that helped UC-Davis move into Division I athletics. And the tournament is now moving into its 11th

The tournament itself will be contested on the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West, one of 's most famous and controversial layouts. Weissmann says that the course will be set up to the same standards as those used when PGA Tour qualifying school is played at PGA West. “We're replicating as close as we can the qualifying school condition with respect to green speeds, rough lengths and general course conditions.” A world-class course in Tour condition, lodging at a legendary desert getaway, delectable resort dining and only 18 holes a day? The evidence shows that the life of a college golfer can now be envied on a regular basis just like the Tour guys, thanks to events like the Prestige.

That “death spiral” is out there, and it will likely hit a number of golf clubs, of which there are too many, Hasley says. Yet many clubs are remarkably resilient in these challenging times. Membership and staff levels at Eldorado, for example, have remained fairly constant, most likely because the club continues to provide a lot for its members.

Club Membership Director Chris Robinson says there appears to be “an across the board” reaction by most clubs as they attempt to find new revenue sources. “I'm not sure that's going to be the MO for all the other clubs, but for us, we've dropped the fee a little bit,” Robinson says. “As soon as the economy turns around, it'll go back up.” He adds that it's only fair to the membership to keep entry fees fairly constant; otherwise, how do you explain to a member who paid $15,000 to join a few years back that newcomers can get in for just $4,000?

Wilson Staff C:25 ifteen years ago, golf ball choices were stark. Golfers could choose between a soft, high- Fspinning ball with a fragile balata cover and a wrist-jarring two-piece ball with what seemed like a concrete core and cover hard enough to shatter the face of a persimmon wood. Construction advances have narrowed the gap significantly between the rock and the soft place, but compromises exist. If you’re looking for a ball that’s long, durable, totally controllable around the greens, a breeze to hit in the wind and also costs less than $20 for a 24 pack, it’s not happening. The most convenient way to group golf balls today is by price. A good and perfectly serviceable ball costs under $20 per dozen. The ball will feel fine off all clubs, reward Wilson D-25 Distance good shots and perform well enough for most golfers. The primary drawback is in durability: To keep costs low, manufacturers use a cover material like ionomer in the cheaper balls, which tends to get scuffed up fairly easily. Solid options include the Wilson D-25 Distance, the Srixon AD333, the Top-Flite Gamer V2 and the Top-Flite Eagle. In the past three years, manufacturers have dramatically improved the mid-tier golf balls in the $20 to $35 range. Balls in this ‘better’ category typically have three-piece construction and will hit the brakes fairly quickly on chip shots and pitch shots. However, cover materials can still be lacking. A well-struck wedge, especially one with extra grippy grooves, can leave an impression on these balls. Players looking for a ball with a urethane cover, which is the most durable, might like the TaylorMade TP Black LDP. Other solid choices in this price range include the Bridgestone E6, the Titleist NXT Tour and the Wilson Staff C:25. Bridgestone E6 The frugal golfer may become a bit perturbed when facing the option of spending $45 for a dozen golf balls. Ironically, the most expensive ball may be the best option for you if you’re value conscious, provided you’re a player who keeps the ball out of water, waist-high rough, barrancas and other ball-munching hazards. The urethane cover found on most of the top-tier balls stays blemish free unless you send a bunker shot 144 yards. These premium golf balls reduce the trade-off disparity: You get distance off the tee, workability, beautiful feel, durability and control around the greens. The most Srixon Z-Star famous ball in this category is the Titleist Pro V1 and V1x, but Nike (One Tour/Tour D), Srixon (Z-Star/Z-Star X) and TaylorMade (the five-layer Penta TP) all make superbly crafted balls. Callaway has the Tour i(s)/i(z) and Bridgestone offers four balls in its premium family of B330 balls, providing more options for more golfers. Golfers will quite correctly spend hundreds on a fitted driver then fail to ask their PGA or LPGA professional TaylorMade Penta TP about the best golf ball for their game. There are two key variables: spin and launch angle. A player who naturally spins the ball will benefit from a ball with lower spin; a player with low spin (and probably low ball speed) may benefit from a ball with higher spin. Is it absolutely vital for precise short game scoring to use a ball in the premium Top-Flite Gamer V2 range? Absolutely not. An inexpensive ball will spin around the green and a good player can adapt around the green. While there are exceptions, typically a less

The Metallic1 is a 75-compression ball and is best for juniors and ladies. The Metallic2 is an 85- compression ball and is an excellent choice for the “average” golfer with clubhead speeds in the 85 to 100 mph range. The ball uses two-piece construction, has soft feel and putts and chips well; the cover material is a trade secret. Golfers buy the ball initially, according to the manufacturer, for the novelty but keep playing it for the performance and the visibility — the ball is significantly easier to see past 150 yards.

Hilton Waikoloa Village By Timothy J. Pade luxury travel

awaii is as famous for superb golf as it is for near-perfect year-round weather and pristine white and black sand Hbeaches. And rightfully so. World-renowned courses are found across Hawaii, including 18 set in the dramatic, volcano-sculpted landscape of the Big Island. The Big Island is home to some of the most exclusive and finest golf resorts anywhere—Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, Hualalai, Mauna Kea, Kukio and Nanea to name a few—and easily lures golfers of all abilities to its shores. The island’s sunny Kohala Coast, where the majority of resorts sit, offers one of the highest quality lifestyles in the world and a paradise for vacationers who come for that quintessential Hawaiian experience—including spectacular golf. In 1988 one of the most expensive resorts ever built in the United States opened to awards and accolades. Set along 62 oceanfront acres on the Kohala Coast, this magnificent resort, now known as Hilton Waikoloa Village, offers more than 1,240 guest rooms and suites in a setting unlike any other in the world. Almost Disney-like in its design, Waikoloa is a magical vacation experience in a tropical fantasy land complete with evocative canals, flitting parrots, exotic wildlife and soaring towers with rooms offering every amenity. The awards and accolades continue year after year for this timeless property built to fulfill the dreams of any guest— including the most sophisticated traveler. At Hilton Waikoloa Village, there is truly something for everyone.

Immediately noticeable upon arriving in paradise is that there are an abundance of activities—more than most vacations could possibly accommodate. But Waikoloa also provides one of the most beautiful spots in the world in which to simply lie in the sun and forget the troubles of the world.

While the elegant rooms themselves are reason enough to stay, they are complemented by stellar service. Outside guestroom towers, there are breathtaking nature walks to enjoy, spectacular gardens and even a mile-long art walk featuring Asian and Polynesian fine art.

Transportation on the property is, amazingly, a highlight. Guests can travel to and from rooms in mahogany boats on canals that meander from one end of the property to the other. If the slow, romantic appeal of boating isn’t for you, there’s also an air-conditioned monorail that glides across the resort on its way to each of the three guest towers. But you should also take time to walk on occasion, to stroll past tropical birds and fish along the canals and canal pathways on your way to a renewing treatment at the gorgeous spa or one of seven restaurants—one for each day of

watch is a watch, right? Oh no, watch collectors would definitely Abeg to differ. With thousands of watch lines available to choose from, it’s easy to make a statement by wearing a different watch every day of the week, or every day of the year for that matter. Below we profile a few watch lines that may be hidden gems in the watch business, with new timepieces that are creating a buzz.

G3 Jewelry Inc. recently launched the G3 Mile High diamond watch. As a new edition to this luxury jewelry line, these Swiss-made timepieces expand on G3 Jewelry's extraordinary level of fine design and craftsmanship to provide watch connoisseurs with a unique signature offering. G3 CEO and chief designer, Quincy Brown, says the G3 Mile High watch design is inspired by the emotional characteristics one experiences while traveling in a private jet — a G-3 jet to be exact. “I designed the G3 Mile High diamond watch line to provide a select group of individuals with a unique timepiece that offers a level of luxury, exclusivity and visibility that's currently unavailable in the marketplace,” Brown says. Pink, yellow and black diamonds are available in the watch design, which has the G3 Mile High G3 logo on the face. Made with both chronograph and Swiss automatic movement, the 48mm and 52mm cases feature sapphire glare-proof crystal. Water- resistant case materials include stainless steel or 18-karat white or yellow gold. The “colored ice” version features a variety of natural colored diamonds, all pave set and topping out at 60-plus carats of VVS clarity diamonds. Extra straps are offered in genuine leather, crocodile, stingray, stainless steel or 18-karat white or yellow gold, which can be customized with dials and lunettes.

For a totally striking, wow-factor of a watch that is opulent and eye-catching, the Zadora Timepieces line is truly one-of-a- kind. Zadora timepieces are designed so the time is read on the side of the watch rather than the top. The dial rotates and the hand remains fixed. This leaves the entire top to serve as a platform for the intricate, bejeweled sculptures. The ornate watch designs include one with three miniature golden bees in 18-karat yellow gold with sapphire eyes and mother of pearl and amber honeycomb detail, set on an 18- karat gold case. Another design of a sea turtle features textured 18-karat yellow gold, emerald eyes and a pave-set light brown diamond body. These works are referred to as “beautiful vessels,” and, similar to a Judith Leiber purse, they are works of art but meant to be worn, dazzling on the wrist. Approximately $150,000 apiece, Zadora Timepieces are exquisite and rare— definitely a watch worth talking about. zadoratimepieces.com
