Wednesday in the Desert

This morning I went out to PGA West at La Quinta Resort & Club to do some shooting prior to the start of the Humana Challenge.

There's a beautiful new trophy this year. It was very challenging to photograph. The clear glass trophy has different logos etched on all 4 sides & light refracts in every direction.

I tagged along with PGA TOUR Entertainment while they filmed the trophy in some scenic locations on the course.

Awesome Bob Hope golf cart.

Back at the Renaissance Esmeralda, there was a small reception for President Clinton. He was presented with a PGA TOUR golf bag embroidered with his name & signed by all of the players in the field.

There were nice fire pits around the pool area to keep guests warm during the cold desert nights.

Health Matters with President Clinton

Today the Clinton Foundation held the inaugural Health Matters: Activating Wellness in Every Generation conference at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, CA.

Jillian Michaels had an early morning workout for conference participants. It was pretty intense!

President Clinton gave the keynote address.

There were many panels throughout the day ... this one moderated by the Prez included Billie Jean King. Barbra Streisand & James Brolin were in the audience.

One of the afternoon panels included Goldie Hawn, Annika Sorenstam & Notah Begay III.

Actor Reed Alexander (apparently of iCarly fame) came out to PGA TOUR Entertainment's set to talk about his website KewlBites which helps kids live a healthier lifestyle.
