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.

The view from my seat on the way to Palm Springs.

Desert golf courses look funny from the air ... surrounded by desolation.
