any courses claim to be, or are described as, unique. When it comes to Rams Hill Golf Club, the adjective Mmay actually be applicable. Situated in eastern San Diego County in the town of Borrego Springs, California, and surrounded by ancient desert expanses, Rams Hill doesn’t have truly comparable peers. There are Tom Fazio-designed courses speckled throughout Southern California, but only one has been scraped out of the prehistoric landscape that also makes up the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. And though there are several other courses in the Borrego Springs area, no other has been designed by Fazio, universally recognized as one of this country’s top course designers. Some lifelong residents of Southern California have never been to the Anza-Borrego area, and some are unaware the area even exists—despite its status as California’s largest state park. The recreational wonderland covers more than 600,000 acres between State Route 79 to the west and the Salton Sea to the east. The area offers five different mountain ranges, 500 miles of roads and endless geographic anomalies produced by the constant clash of continental plates. While many urbanites remain unaware of its charms, in-the- know lovers of the great outdoors have flocked to the area for decades to take advantage of its isolated beauty, including campers, mountain bikers, hikers, four-wheelers and nature aficionados of every stripe. As Rams Hill opens for its seventh season as a Fazio iteration, it could be that the campers, hikers, and bikers will now throw their golf clubs in the back of the truck before heading out for an extended period of recreation. The foothills location has produced a course that rides the side of a hill, creating a handful of holes that play uphill, others that play downhill and select holes with side-hill challenges. However, the design is such that there are very few cliff-side disasters laying in wait; in fact, the course corridors have been designed at such a width that the layout presents golfers with more of a links-style play. In other words, despite the hillside location, there is room to find and play a wild drive.

“I would say it’s very playable,” says Mike Setchell, director of golf. “The fairways are very forgiving and we’ve got five sets of tee boxes. You can play the course from 7,200 yards at the tips or 5,200 yards from the women’s tees. The white tees are very generous, and then there are the member tees at 6,300 yards. So there’s plenty of opportunity to play it however you want to. “It has the feel of a links golf course. There are a lot of shots where, if you hit the left side of the green correctly, the ball bounces down, as it should. You can play the ball along the ground, and with a little imagination, you can see what the ball will do if you play the right shot.” Along with the Fazio name, Setchell The par-5 No. 11 plays downhill, and if the distinct levels and players don’t want to be says course’s condition will also be a major creek to the left of the fairway is full, on the wrong one. “I’ve made more birdies draw.

he weekend that outstanding college tennis players eagerly anticipate all year is just around the corner. The 37th annual National Collegiate Tennis Classic, “the TWimbledon of college tennis,” will once again take place at Sunrise Country Club in Ranch Mirage, California, over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, January 15 – 18, 2016. Sandra Karvelas, NCTC Tournament co-chair and president, and Bob Cannon, event partner and treasurer, are gearing up to welcome teams from USC, UCLA, Texas A&M, Pepperdine, Stanford, ASU, University of Illinois (after a hiatus of several years), Indiana University and University of North Carolina, among others. Last year’s champs, University of Washington, will sit this year out, simply due to Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) guidelines that impact the timing of their participation. Karvelas says that, next to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships, this competition features the top NCAA college tennis teams with the best men and women players from around the country. It has gained a reputation as a highly prestigious event and boasts former participants including John McEnroe and Bob and Mike Bryan (the Bryan Brothers) in their early playing days, all hailing from Stanford University. Matches are structured with a 32-draw elimination format for men and women’s singles. The doubles competition, consisting of 16 draws, is played with the same format. Winning players in both singles and doubles continue on to compete against other winners while the remaining players take part in daily consolation matches. Individual trophies are awarded to winners and finalists in individual men and women’s, as well as doubles championships. Midway through the tournament, on Saturday night, organizers will once again host the traditional sponsor’s recognition reception and dinner party, where players, coaches, media and friends have a chance to mix and mingle with sponsors, including World Food and Beverage, Gen-X Energy Drinks, Wilson and Spa Med. Karvelas and Cannon, who have been at the helm of the NCTC for 18 years, succeed by running the event like a pro tournament. Past sponsors have included Neutrogena and Fossil, and television air time is now expected. The two organizers recall a special episode several years back when Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals unexpectedly and graciously agreed to each play one of the top college players prior to the tournament. The crowd-pleasing exhibition attracted lines of people anxious to see the match-up between the current and future legends. King and Casals even attended the sponsor’s party that weekend, as both are staunch supporters of greater access for youth to the sport and of tennis in general. Karvelas is looking forward to working with the teams as well as to seeing fans and spectators come out to support the tournament again this year. This tournament accomplishes a great deal in trying to elevate college tennis to where it should be,” she says. “Basically, it’s just good for tennis.” ______Alison Elsner is a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis

Desert Golf &tennis •December January 201 5-2016 33 A Common complaint I hear from golfers is that they lack confidence in their short putts. That lack of confidence creates a timid stroke that inevitably leads to a miss—and those misses can add up. If you were to go back through a round and calculate how many strokes you could subtract from your score if you had made all your putts inside of five feet, you would surely make huge strides to lowering your score. So how do we improve short putts? I like using rubber bands along with alignment sticks to help condition my putting muscles so I can drill more short putts.
ALIGNMENT STICKS I start off by using alignment sticks to align myself to the hole, which for our training is four to five feet away. The purpose of the alignment sticks is to help me see my line to the hole. The inside stick is aimed at the inside edge of the hole while the outside stick is aimed at the outside edge. Using the sticks as a guide, I can position my setup perfectly aligned to the hole.
I personally like to have my putting stroke go straight back and straight through in relation to the hole. The heel of my putter is guided by the edge of the inside stick. As I make my forward stroke, the putter heel continues to move along that edge. I don’t like the feeling of arcing my stroke, which in turn would open and close the putter face as it moves on an arc.

RUBBER BANDS During lessons, clients often tell me that they can’t feel a straight back and straight through stroke. The putter wobbles around as they are making the stroke. This is where rubber bands can help. The resistance of the bands helps condition your putting muscles, actually helping them to get the feel for where your straight back, straight through stroke is located.
To train the muscles, I push a tee into the ground between the alignment sticks to serve as an anchor. I tie two rubber bands together and loop one end of the rubber band around the tee. I stretch out the other end and put the putter head inside the rubber band so it is in the center of the putter face.
When I set up between the alignment sticks, it’s important that I feel tension, meaning I’m actually using my muscles to hold onto the putter at address. The key muscles I want to feel in the putting stroke are “core muscles.” That helps my hands feel like they are holding on to the putter lightly. As I make the back swing, I try to relax my muscles and allow the resistance from the rubber bands to move the putter back. Obviously, I have to have some tension in my muscles or the rubber band would fling the putter back too fast.
The most important thing I try to feel is “controlling the rubber band.” I don’t want the rubber band to control me so that my stroke is wobbling around in relation to the alignment sticks. By controlling the band, I am stabilizing the path of the stroke of the putter. Then, as I make my forward stroke, my primary goal is to have an exact finish point where I hold my finish for a five-second count.
FEEL THE STROKE After I have made ten practice strokes with the rubber bands along the alignment sticks, I hit some putts. My goal is to feel the same stroke as in the practice strokes. I want to feel the rubber bands move my putter back and through along the line to the hole through the resistance from the practice drill.

hen people find out I am a Realtor, the first thing they ask is “How is the Wmarket?” Being the optimist that I am, my response is always the same: It’s fantastic and very active. Buying or selling in a predominantly second-home market, such as the Coachella Valley, means that you are always going to find motivated sellers. A second home is a luxury, not a necessity. Based on that, we exist in a buyer’s market. Most buyers these days start out their search on a real estate website such as Zillow or realtor.com or on an agent site such as mine, JennieRobinson.com . All of these sites are a great way to check out houses and price ranges in the area where you intend to buy. The next most important step is finding an agent in the area who can help you interpret all of the information you are finding online. Pictures can definitely mislead good and bad! We have all heard the old adage location, location, location, and it is the most important consideration when buying. When I meet buyers for the first time, I find out their buying criteria in the following order of importance: desired location, country club options, size, price range, condition of the property and intended use. You can use this as a guide for your own home search. I have found that the biggest percentage of second-home buyers don’t want to do a lot of work fixing up a property. They want to spend their time enjoying it immediately. If this is what you are looking for, be prepared to pay more for the home. The supply of updated homes is limited. If you don’t mind doing some updating work you can definitely get a better deal! If you choose the latter option, a savvy and experienced Realtor can guide you in the direction of updating the home. We are actually seeing more and more new-home developments going up in our area, which impacts decisions of both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re buying or selling, new homes are the competition. To get top dollar in today’s market, sellers need to update their home before listing it or be prepared to discount the price to allow for updating. The single most important update a seller can do is to add new flooring and paint the house. This can be a hefty expense but well worth it. Consider hard surface only.

t was an epiphany for the young model. Walking the catwalk in a simple knit dress, Marie St. John suddenly lusted after it for her Iown wardrobe. She was so desperate she was debating paying a pretty penny for it. “After all, it already had my name on it,” she had mused. “Better yet, I could make it myself!” And although she knew nothing about the craft—assigned to knit a sock in a class, she became stymied by the heel and left it to her mother to finish the job—the determined model went to shop for yarn and knitting needles and the resulting sleeveless off-white dress with mock turtleneck was a big success. The simple, comfortable, flattering style was a harbinger for the future collections. Then, when working as model on the TV hit Queen for A Day , she wheeled out a new knitting machine and it was a “Eureka!” moment. St. John immediately paid $450 for it and hired the sales representative to show her how to use it . But the real genesis for St. John’s future took place when she decided to impress her fiancé, fashion industry entrepreneur Bob Gray, with her knitting skills. Ultimately, with Gray’s expert salesmanship and marketing expertise and St. John’s designs achieving innovative perfection, the St. John Knits collection made its way to the racks of exclusive retailers and upscale specialty stores. It was an all-American company with a lock on a product that appealed to all-American fashionistas of all ages who didn’t have to sell their first-borns to afford the clothes. St. John’s early days did not seem to point to fashion destiny. She was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in the 1930s, but when her two sisters and her family immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada, in the ’40s, their days of sleeping in bomb shelters and standing in line for milk and bread in the communist nation were over. St. John was free to dream of trilling her way to a coloratura career in the opera. Soon, that dream became a wake-up call to another destiny.

The two place high value on timeless style, careful fit and attention to detail. Their collection, composed of exquisite handcrafted leather jackets, striking prints and exquisite embellishment, is mostly produced at the company’s Irvine, California, headquarters. They are currently developing a complete golf apparel line and, as with other apparel, it is a work in progress and being tested and worn by the designer herself. It’s a dress code worth waiting for, she says. The newest fabrics are lightweight, especially important in the heat and brutal sunshine of the desert, and they wick away any moisture, inviting cool air into the body while providing protective coverage. The Grays insist that all fabrics must have a bit of stretch for freedom of movement and comfort. “My focus and our company’s focus is really ultimately, the comfort of the clothes. It’s not about the catwalk, the magazines and the exposure we get from celebrities,” Marie says. “It’s ultimately about the customer who buys it, wears it and loves it. It’s going to be a beautiful game and beyond. Fore! ______Diane Marlin-Dirkx is a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis
