What can I say about the weather?! Another Chamber of Commerce week for us here in La Quinta, while my home town of Helena, Montana was hit with 9 inches of snow. Mr. Gore, what’s the deal with the lack of global warming up in the northwest? :-)

The Gridiron Classic has come and gone. What a great day! Marty Schottenhiemer, Tom Flores, and Marshall Faulk led the former professionals at the event. The weather was perfect for this 92 player field. A joint collaboration with the Junior League of Palm Springs helped raise needed funds for two worthy charity organizations. The event benefited the Safehouse of the Desert and Caring for Kids.

April continues to be a strong month for us. Great weather and additional daylight hours, coupled with some great pricing, are giving the golfing public a opportunity to play one of the best conditioned golf courses in the desert.

Next on tap for Azul Restaurant will be on April 26^th - the Maui Wowie Beach Party. Bring your sunscreen, flip flops, and we will supply the sand! Call for reservations for this event, the last of the spring!

Azul Restaurant continues to be open for Breakfast, Lunch and our Red Basket Menu from 3pm to 5 pm.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and Azul with be rolling out the proverbial red carpet for Mom. Chef Roy has put together a feast for a Queen!

We are proud to be a part of the Lumpy’s Scramble for Autism. This event raised over $80,000 for the Coachella Valley’s Autism Foundation last year. The event is scheduled for Friday April 25^th. This event is already sold out with 144 players participating.

I am just about to go to our website to update some exciting specials for the next week. Check out our upcoming specials for April, lots of great golf, golf balls and lunches! Don’t miss out: www.Trilogygolfclub.com/laquinta

I would like to take this time to clear up a small issue concerning the Coupon Program. The 2008 coupons that were purchased in 2008 do expire 12/31/2008. I want people to be aware of this because I am hearing that people think that they will be able to roll their unused coupons into the 2009 program. The 100% coupon roll program that we used with the 2007 coupons was a one year deal. What we did in 2007-2008 won’t dictate what we are planning on for the future. With over 7 ½ months to use the coupons, I don’t see this as a problem. If anyone has a concern with this issue, I would suggest that you contact myself or General Manager Brandon O’Neill.

On the Anthony Kim watch, Anthony got his first taste of being in the final pairing on the PGA Tour. The Boo Weekly experiment continues to roll thru South Carolina leaving even Anthony in his wake. Anthony could not overcome some early round miscues. A late 3 hole birdie run helped him finish in a tie for second. - his best finish of the year. Lots of television time for Anthony week, and many rave reviews about his swing and his game. Many great things are about to happen, just you watch. Look for a great finish this week as Anthony heads to Dallas, his new hometown, to play in the Byron Nelson.

Until next week, keep rolling the rock!
