Tantalizing art, bare-armed weather, picture-perfect setting. And, a 7.2 earthquake to boot on this memorable Easter Sunday here in the Palm Springs valley! Karen Ralke–my faithful art show companion—and I had just exited the Indian Wells Arts Festival, found my car on the grassy north 40, and turned on the ignition when the trembler hit. Thinking it was perhaps somebody I knew deliberately rocking the car, and much too violently to be amusing, I crankily turned around to ascertain the culprit. No one is there. Then, my foggy brain decided there was something seriously amiss with my Nissan. Karen spys the adjacent car swaying as well and proclaims an earthquake. For two native Californians, it took much too long to figure it out. It seemed to go on forever. Even when I stepped out of th...

The U.S. is flooded with some immaculate private country clubs to pursue.  Whether you are looking for one amidst a gorgeous setting in North Carolina or a relaxing club off the coast in Florida, there is a plethora to choose from.  One of the most highly touted country clubs you will find in America today is The Vintage Club. Originating in April of 1979, The Vintage Club Indian Wells quickly became one of the most prestigious and ultra-exclusive private country club communities in America.  Its extreme exclusivity has created the type of recognition this club worked hard to achieve.  While any club can create amazing features and offer tremendous amenities, you cannot always create the scenery and setting.  This club is present in a natural cove just at the base of the Eisenhower Moun...

The 26th annual LG Skins Game this Thanksgiving weekend was to be held in the beautiful region of Indian Wells, California.  And just like every year, it is an event that golf fans do not want to miss out on. Unfortunately the Skins Game was canceled in 2009. LG, which is one of the world's leading electronics companies, would have been the title sponsor in this one million dollar purse.  With this large purse, it is one of the richest two-day events in the history of golf.  Some of the greatest golfers of all-time have made their presence heard at this event including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. As mentioned, this year's event was supposed be held at Indian Wells Golf Resort in California.  The John Fought designed players course is a par-72 18-hole ch...
