Golf in Palm Desert


Last week I spent at a timeshare in Palm Desert on a golf course. It is about 2+ hour drive from San Diego over the mountains to the desert. I played golf 4 times in 6 days in very nice weather.
It was in the high 80s to low 90s F the whole week with low humidity and bright sunshine. At my place back in San Diego we had the usual May Gray and June Gloom coastal cloudiness with temps in the mid 60s.
My golf prowess was, as usual, very inconsistent with good shots mixed with terrible shots. The last 2 days I played in the 23rd Annual Doctors Desert Golf Tournament which one of the Cardiologists organizes every year. It is a 4 man team scramble format and my team tied for 1st Place on day one......won $35!
Above was the view from my condo balcony of the 17th Green at Shadow Ridge in the gright daylight.

Below is the shot just after the sun has dipped below the mountains in the evening.
