he Bob Hope Classic golf tournaments of the 1960s and ’70s were a real happening. The Coachella Valley ground to a halt as the stars rolled into town en masse—and not just the stars Tof the PGA Tour. Hollywood’s A-Listers wanted their spot in the field. If you were somebody in the entertainment business, you were in the celebrity field at the Hope. When the 2016 Careerbuilder Challenge tees off Jan. 21-24, however, any Hollywood stars on hand will be there as spectators. For the second straight year, no celebrity element is included in the event. There will be no celebrity pro-am, no celebrity jam sessions and no off- campus late night parties where passwords are needed to get into the compound where actors and rock-and-rollers mingle with PGA Tour pros. The buzz for this event will be all about the new, enthusiastic sponsor and the strong early-season field. How did we get here? A number of factors have contributed to the current situation. Most obviously, the tournament had lost its fizz. It was somewhat predictable that when Bob Hope stopped playing, and eventually passed away at the age of 100, the tournament might have its compass scrambled without its guiding star. By the time Mr. Hope died in 2003, he was one of the last of his generation to bid adieu as many of his peers who helped make those heyday Hope events were already long gone. Even prior to his death, celebrities with competitive handicaps who had formerly made the scene each year at the Hope, as well as the Crosby Clambake, were dropping out of the game by the dozens. Fewer and fewer A-List celebrities were ready to take their place. Additionally, the tournament was passed by in the modern game by other tournaments on the schedule in more metropolitan areas and with larger purses. The Hope’s position on the schedule also worked against it and still does to a certain extent, but the new “wraparound” seasons on the PGA Tour have put it in a better overall position on the calendar in terms of encouraging the top pros to blend the Coachella Valley into their schedules. The Humana Corporation deserves a lot of credit for saving the tournament. The last years of Chrysler’s sponsorship were painful for the tournament and the country as the auto industry teetered on collapse and ties to golf tournaments were seen as an unaffordable extravagance. Humana and the Clinton Foundation’s involvement beginning in 2012 literally pumped new life into the tournament and built an event valuable enough to attract its new sponsor, Careerbuilder. Survival and PGA Tour Takeover When Chrysler pulled out as sponsor and attendance was at an all- time low, there were questions about the PGA Tour’s ability to keep the event alive without sponsorship. Because the tournament was fast becoming a relic, it was clear that changes had to be made to stimulate attendance and professional participation in an era of top pros playing only when and where they want to and for the biggest purses. Two widely held beliefs were that more top pros would compete if the tournament were trimmed to the traditional four rounds as opposed to the Hope’s unique five-round format. Evidently, the grind of a fifth round was a big deterrent for the new breed of Tour pros. There was an equally strong belief that more top pros would play in the event if they didn’t have to play with those plucky-but- pesky celebrities who were fun to know otherwise but a major distraction on the golf course (Tiger Woods never played in the tournament). When Humana took over, the tournament was officially reduced to four rounds and the celebrity/pro-am element took on a more muted role while the focus became the tournament’s renewal and stronger field. According to tournament officials, a celebrity element was planned for 2015, but when the pro-am teed off, there wasn’t a single “celebrity” in the field.

Goodbye, Norma Jean With only four rounds and no celebrity element, the tournament is now an entirely different entity from the days when Hope and Arnold Palmer ran things on and off the course. It’s a traditional tour stop with a traditional pro-am and a traditional format. Those who clamor for a modern celebrity element to the tournament must consider the modern “celebrity problem,” which is twofold. First, while some movie and television actors play golf well, not enough play at a level to prevent them from being a distraction as well as a pace-of-play problem during a celebrity pro-am. Second, not every golf-playing celebrity today has the cache those Golden Age Hollywood stars enjoyed. The AT&T National Pro-Am on the Monterrey Peninsula is currently dealing with these very issues. Critics have been quick to pan the tournament recently, asking how relevant some “stars” are. This didn’t happen in the Hope era. If you were alive and owned a television, you knew each and every celebrity in the field. Being in the pro-am field was like being invited backstage at a Bob Hope Christmas Special or wandering freely on a Hollywood set. Many captains of industry would spare no expense to be part of the shenanigans, rubbing elbows with Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Jack Lemmon. The networking, the private parties...it’s all the stuff of legends. Time marches on. For better or worse it appears that, at least for the moment, the celebrity pro-am aspect of the desert’s PGA Tour stop has gone the way of many long-ago Hollywood stars. The powers that pull the for today’s Careerbuilder Challenge embrace a new business model, one with a focus squarely on golf and without celebrities.

TPC Stadium Course, Hole No. 17 Stroke Play

ull on your parachute pants and white tennis shoes and fire up the Delorean. The 2016 Careerbuilder Challenge is going back to the future. The PGA Tour and Desert Classic PCharities, the organizing force behind the event, recently made the much-anticipated announcement regarding the new course rotation for the 2016 version of the tournament. Many fans were surprised, and doubtless an equal number were thrilled, that the architectural breakthrough TPC Stadium Course at PGA West was included. The iconic Pete Dye design opened to a wide range of reviews in 1986 and was used only once in the tournament rotation, the ill- fated 1987 event which was plagued with cold and wind. Many professionals panned the course for what they felt were its over-the- top elements, including features that are now standard on many Dye courses: deep, punitive fairway bunkers; tricky putting surfaces; threatening water hazards and, yes, even an island green for a par-3 17th hole.

TPC Stadium Course, Hole No. 16

Not only is TPC Stadium Course back in the rotation, it will as host venue and will host the final round. Joining the Stadium Course in the rotation are the Nicklaus Tournament Course, also at PGA West, and another of the tournament’s mainstay host facilities, La Quinta Country Club. The 2016 event is scheduled for January 21-24. Prior to the announcement there was scuttlebutt throughout the valley regarding the possible selection of the Stadium Course to the rotation, but there was also a general feeling the PGA Tour pros might not want to revisit the problems that plagued their predecessors in 1987. The counter argument was that the facility hosted PGA Tour Qualifying School six times, and during the long qualifying process, low rounds were the norm on both the Stadium and Nicklaus courses. Harrison Frazar and David Gossett each shot 59 during qualifying rounds on the Nicklaus Course, and the Stadium’s one-time cutting-edge design has been softened by time, clearing processes and modern equipment. The TPC Stadium Course has played host to the Skins Game (1986-1991), the PGA Club Professional Championship (1990) and the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf on the Champions Tour

Nicklaus Tournament Course, Hole No. 9

(1995-96). The Nicklaus Tournament Course, which starts from the same clubhouse as the Stadium Course, has not hosted an PGA Tour event; however, it did serve as one of the venues for PGA Tour Qualifying School finals in 1986, 1988, 1989, 2002, 2006 and 2008. “This will be the 56th year Desert Classic Charities has hosted a PGA Tour event, and throughout those years it has been played on some of the Coachella Valley’s most dynamic courses,” says John Foster, president of the organization. “This latest move reflects that perfectly. We take great pride in our history of challenging, interesting and diverse courses and we look forward to this latest chapter in our rich history.” If a rank-and-file golfer has an ingrained memory from the TPC Stadium Course’s previous appearance on the pro stage, it’s most likely Lee Trevino’s at the par-3 17th, which resulted in a $175,000 skin during the 1987 Skins Game. The 17th is named “Alcatraz” because of its island green trimmed with jagged boulders and well-place large rocks, but the design concept is nearly identical to the famous No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Nicklaus Tournament Course, Hole No. 8 Beach, Florida. In fact, the two courses share many similarities, including a long

Despite, or perhaps in part because of, the 1987 episode, the TPC Stadium Course remains a favorite of the American golfer, a “must-play” course when players make their way to the Coachella Valley for the first time. It’s currently ranked No. 40 on the Golf Digest list of the100 Greatest Public Courses. Golfweek ranks it as one of the Top 10 public golf courses in California, and The Desert Sun ranks the 17th hole at No. 2 and the par-4 16th hole at No.12 among its Top 100 Golf Holes in the Desert.

Novak Djokovic Novak Djokovic defeats , 6-3, 6-7(5), and 6-2 On March 22, world No. 1 Djokovic competed against his rival, Roger Federer, a four-time BNP Paribas Open champion, in the finals for the second straight year. As expected, the match was highly dramatic. Federer won the second set, thereby ending Djokovic’s outstanding streak; until then, he had not lost a single set during the entire tournament. Djokovic ultimately prevailed, capturing the third set to win his fourth BNP Paribas Open and 50th ATP title, becoming only the 12th player in the Open era to capture that many victories. Even more astounding? He was only 27 years old at the time.

But then she suffered ankle ligament injuries, which required several surgeries and a few years away from the sport to recuperate. Remarkably, she returned to the winner’s circle on March 21 alongside her partner, Indian Sania Mirza, earning her first BNP Paribas Open victory in 16 years. Although the duo had not competed together in a professional tournament beforehand, they defeated the championship’s No. 2 seeds, Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, in two sets. “As a team, Martina and Sania really seemed to be on the same page. In particular, Sania remained consistent throughout the tournament, which provided Martina an opportunity to utilize her shot-making skills,” Simon says. “As long as they remain healthy, I expect them to enjoy a great deal of success together this year.”

Every March, when the BNP Paribas wraps in Indian Wells, California, tennis enthusiasts get ready to play or watch in the next town, like concert roadies following their favorite band. This year, however, both players and fans scored encores right here in the desert, making it clear that local tennis events continue to grow—in the number of tournaments and exhibitions and attendees. Following the BNP, the 2015 National ASICS Easter Bowl Tournament, dubbed the “Super Bowl of junior tennis,” took over occupancy at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden for a week leading up to the Easter Holiday.

hese days you’ll find 91-year-old Jack Whitaker relaxing by the pool, working out at the gym, meeting with friends or writing his as yet untitled book about Tthe people he has worked with. This accomplished, award-winning sportscaster, commentator, broadcaster and journalist still has more to say. Even today there is something about Whitaker that makes his audience lean forward and wait with anticipation to hear him talk about his storied life, a life that seemed only a dream for his era. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Whitaker grew up in the East Germantown neighborhood. He describes his childhood as “kind of tough in a way, but I look back on it as great times. I played a lot of sandlot and some stickball.” When asked if he aspired as a child to be a broadcaster, Whitaker is quick to reply, “I loved radio, so yes, I think I did aspire as a child to be on the radio.” Whitaker notes that after WW11, the FCC opened up a lot of new frequencies, which meant that little towns that never had radio stations got them. “Little 250 watters, 1,000 watters,” he says. “ I got a job in a little 250-watt station, WPAM in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. We had to do everything—open the station in the morning, clean out the news machines, you were a newscaster, disc jockey and interviewer, everything. It was pretty good training, I was there for about three years and then I saw television was coming.” Although he never lost his love for radio, a love he still has, Whitaker realized that television was going to be the next big thing in entertainment. “I got a job at a television station as a news writer,” he says. “A couple of months later, the sportscaster quit and they asked me if I knew anything about sports. I said, ‘of course.’” It was a moment that changed Whitaker’s life forever. He spent the rest of his career on television, 21 years of it on CBS. He covered the Summer and Winter Olympics, baseball, football, soccer, track and field, basically any sport he was asked to cover. An avid golfer and horseracing enthusiast, he was best known for his passionate coverage of those two sports. He announced several Triple Crown races and golf’s four majors: the Masters, U.S. Open, The (British) Open Championship and the PGA Championship. Yet with his extensive resume, little is said about his announcing the very first Super Bowl and the first televised championship boxing match. With so many highlights, was there anything Whitaker didn’t announced that he wishes he had? “I was pretty lucky to do a lot of could have been better a few times and done a little more things,” he says. “I guess it would be the British Open that Nicklaus homework a few times, but that’s about it.” won at St. Andrews when he beat Doug Sanders.” Career highs for Whitaker include announcing Secretariat’s Whitaker’s introduction to the game of golf was twofold. “My win at the Belmont, Mary Lou Retton’s victory at the Olympics wife played and I picked up her clubs.

In the attempt to hit the ball farther, many golfers cast the golf club at the ball by releasing their wrist angle. Unfortunately, this casting motion releases the critical stored-up energy prematurely. One key to an efficient golf swing is creating lag in the backswing and then maintaining that lag in the forward swing through impact.

Lag in the Takeaway Through many years of teaching I have observed that the majority of higher-handicap golfers move the club in the takeaway too much through their wrist, which results in not creating lag and also promotes “casting” the club in the forward swing. In fact, the hands and the clubface should be the last to move away from the golf ball.

orn in 1971 and raised in both London and the English countryside, Stella McCartney has known celebrity. The daughter of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and American Bwife Linda, she is philosophical about fame. “It certainly opened a lot of doors and certainly closed some minds. So I think there was a balance,” she says. Despite the family’s celebrity, the McCartney children led as normal a life as possible, attending local state schools in East Sussex. At 13, McCartney was already planning her future in fashion by tailoring her first wearable garment, a pink bomber jacket. Three years later she became an intern for designer Christian La Croix, working on his first haute couture collection, and she honed her skills working for her father’s Savile Row tailor. Upon graduation from design school, McCartney showcased her work on supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, who prowled the catwalk to a song composed by her proud father titled, “Stella May Day.” The event was front-page news when the complete graduation collection sold to a London boutique. McCartney has since received countless awards and honors, including being appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2013. After she was assessed as one of the most powerful women in the , Queen Elizabeth said to her, “My, you have been busy,” to which McCartney replied, “Not as busy as you, Ma’am.” Among celebrities who favor McCartney’s collections is Madonna, who chose McCartney to design her wedding dress for her marriage to Guy Ritchie in 2000. McCartney’s own marriage to publisher Alasdhair Willis in 2003 resulted in filling their home with four children without dropping a stitch or a much-applauded season-by-season ready-to-wear collection. There was also a launch of her first perfume, Stella, in 2007, and a lavish lingerie line introduced in 2 010. Her last daughter was born in 2010, coinciding with the launch of the Stella McCartney Kids collection for newborns and children up to age 12. Style report

A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney is following in the footsteps of her late ‘mum.’ A staunch supporter of animal rights, she does not use leather or fur in her designs. Some even have text that elaborates on her “no animal” policy. For example, one of her jackets for Adidas has a smart quip, “suitable for sporty vegetarians,” on the sleeve. McCartney does use wool, silk and other animal-derived fabrics in her designs. Her footwear is made of vinyl or plastic and all belts are raffia and fabric. Everything is designed and crafted with attention to detail and an awareness of the active life of the real woman within. In 2004, McCartney launched a joint- venture line with Adidas. The critically acclaimed collection is a sports- performance line for women, and has since successfully expanded to several athletic disciplines including running, gym, yoga, tennis, swimming, golf, winter sports and triathlon. In 2010, Adidas named Stella McCartney creative director for Team GB’s performance wear at the 2012 Olympics –the first time in the history of the Games that a leading fashion designer created the apparel for a country’s team across all competitions for both the Olympic and Paralympic games. McCartney talks about her newest collection in the context of her unwavering and extreme responsiveness on court, debuted the Tank and Skirt combination in vision. “I am so proud of what we have been while an internal bootie construction Light Pink, White and Peach. able to achieve with the Adidas by Stella provides comfort and the adiWEAR 6 Offering the perfect outer layer before, McCartney collection.
