Coachella Valley Golf - California
The area known as the Coachella Valley comprises Palm Springs, forming the northwestern boundary, and Coachella on the southeast. There are now several other rapidly growing communities in between: Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Desert Hot Springs, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, Indian Wells and Indio.
Discovered in the early '20s by Hollywood's elite, it is no longer a group of sleepy little villages. While the area has changed over the years, the one thing that has not is the magnificent clear blue sky and the mild climate. It's a great feeling to be soaking your body in a warm outdoor pool or playing a round of golf on a manicured course while the rest of the country is slipping and sliding behind a snow plow.
The chambers of commerce advise you to bring warmer apparel for evening, stating that "Summer months - June through mid-September - are warmer." This is one of the most masterful understatements of all time. I have seen the temperature climb well over 125°. I don't care how low the humidity is. When it gets that hot this is no place for a human being, much less a golfer.
Within this area there are over 70 golf courses, 20 or more world-class destination golf resorts, plus a few others a bit
farther south in the Borrego Springs region. While not as large, the Coachella Valley is rapidly becoming the West

The delivery position of the swing is when the club shaft is parallel to the ground, at which point the right elbow and knee should have kicked in towards the center of your stance
Most players shank by pulling the heel of the club at the ball when they should really be tucking their left elbow in and squaring the back of their left hand
