I am writing this blog today while numerous aspiring young golf professionals are touring the golf course preparing for the Golden State Tour Event that will take place over the next two days. The golf course is in great shape and should present the players with a great test of golf.

The players will have the privilege of playing the hole locations from the 2006 Skins Game on Wednesday.

The Golden State Tour Event will feature 70 golf professionals and top amateurs from around Southern California.

Next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Golf Course Superintendent Scott Werline and his staff will be deep tine aerifying the greens on the practice facility and the golf course. The golf course will be open for 9 holes on Tuesday and will be closed all day Wednesday. The golf course will be back open for full operation on Thursday. Reduced rates for Thursday and Friday rounds will be $50.00 through Monday, June 4th. Despite the golf course temporarily closing, the golf shop will be open and the Azul Restaurant will be open for lunch.

Our summer rates will take effect after June 5th. Weekday Peak Rates will be $57.00 and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday rates will be $67.00.

Our Monarch Pass continues to sell very well. For $175.00 you receive a $50.00 golf shop gift certificate, a $25.00 gift certificate to Azul Restaurant, a dozen Precept Golf Balls, and your first round of golf free. The Monarch Pass will allow you to purchase green fees on the weekdays for as low as $30.00 in June, July and August, plus your guests can play for just $45. Weekend rates are $40.00 for Monarch Pass holders and $55.00 for their guests.

Trilogy at La Quinta Homeowners have the option of purchasing the Summer Coupon Program, $750.00 for 20 rounds of golf. One convenience of the Coupon program is that it is transferable, and can be used by your spouse or your guest.

We have just agreed to host two new events this summer promoted to the PGA of America. The PGA McGladrey Team Championship is the PGA of America’s first nationwide grass roots best-ball amateur championship. We will be hosting a local qualifier in late June. The second event is a One Man Scramble; our local qualifier is slated for July 15th, 2007. We will have more details in the golf shop and on our website in the coming weeks explaining these new and exciting events.

Look on our website on Wednesday for some fun and exciting specials this Memorial Day Weekend. I call them “Management is out of town specials.”

"Wait, Brandon is actually taking a day off," you ask? General Manager Brandon O'Neill and First Assistant Professional Nick Mitchell will be heading to Chicago for a golf event. They will be checking out Medinah, host of last year’s PGA Championship, where this blog was first started. For a golf professional, playing golf is all part of the job, not just for recreation. One thing I am sure of is that they will not have to fight the rough that we did last year as I toted Jeff Cranford’s bag around their during the PGA Championship.

There are still 6 days left to get your free 10 minute golf lesson. Call the golf shop and find out how you can get a 10 minute free lesson from a 3 time PGA Section Award winner for teaching.

Until next week keep rolling that rock!
