Welcome to the Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta weekly blog! If you are a returning reader, welcome back!

The fall season is in full bloom. The golf course is in great shape. The greens are being mowed lower each week and should be at full speed by the end of the week. The Bermuda roughs are slowly starting to lose some color, which give the fairways and the greens an even better green hue. Temperatures are finally coming down which is ideal for the rye grass that was planted in late September.

Our Annual Pass program was unveiled in the middle part of October with great success. We are also starting to unveil our Coachella Valley Annual Pass Program for desert residents who do not live inside the gates of Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta. All documents can be found on our website.

On Saturday, Bud Keegan and Roz Wright teamed up to fire a net 60 to win the Gnome Tournament. By winning the event they are now responsible to care for the Traveling Gnome and put on the next event.

The Good Life Games National Championship was completed on Sunday. 7 men and 7 ladies from around the Trilogy family of developments participated in the 4^th Annual Golf Championship. Mike Friedman of Vistancia captured the men’s division with a net score of 69, while Barbara Botich from Glen Ivy was victorious in the ladies division, carding a spectacular round of net 68. Central Coast captured the Amistad Cup for the overall Low Net total for the men and women. Jim Ver West and Millie Merk each carded net 72’s for a 144 total, edging out Rick Emerton and Diane Gartland who had a total of 147.

We are in full swing at the golf course with tee time reservations. My suggestion for the passholders and the Trilogy Community Members is to take full advantage of your advanced tee time booking privileges. The tee sheet is filling quickly each day. Due to the popularity of our facility, short term booking means there are very few tee times left.

Next Saturday in the Paperback Rider Concert, when the British Invasion is landing on the practice facility of Trilogy Golf Club. This open air concert will feature Paperback Rider, a Beatle’s Tribute Band. The Azul Restaurant is putting on a VIP Party up on the Azul Deck. Enjoy a great view of the concert from there. Chef Roy will have drink specials and food to keep even the hungriest of appetites satisfied. You can reserve your spot with Denise by calling the Azul Restaurant. If you have already purchased a ticket from the Santa Rosa Club, the VIP party is only $25.00. If you haven’t prepaid the Santa Rosa Club, the price will be $25.00.

Thanksgiving Dinner at Azul Restaurant is right around the corner. Check out the Azul at Trilogy website to see what Chef Roy has planned for Thanksgiving.

The very popular and successful New Year’s Eve Party at Azul Restaurant has been rolled out. Pricing includes a live DJ and the Azul Patio totally covered for a larger dancing area. Contact Denise at the Azul Restaurant for more information.

The Member Appreciation party was a great success last week. Chef Roy and his staff rolled up their sleeves and provided some out-of-this-world hors d'ouvres.

On the Anthony Kim watch, Anthony has become a world traveler these days. Anthony lost in a playoff at the Kiwi Challenge in New Zealand to fellow Ryder Cup hero, Hunter Mahan. He also traveled to China, where he was having a decent showing until he had to disqualify himself for playing with a damaged golf club.

His next appearance will be here in the states at the Target World Challenge in Los Angeles, December 15^th thru the 21^st.

Until next week keep rolling that rock!
