The Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage is the site of week long festivities in one of the premier events on the LPGA tour, the Kraft Nabisco golf event is a must stop on your next vacation to Palm Springs and the desert cities.
Formerly known as the Dinah Shore, for the Hollywood icons love of golf and annual participation, the winners annual pond jump is something to behold. This golf event is one of the four major tournaments on the LPGA Tour. Past winners that have taken home the trophy include Lorena Ochoa, Morgan Pressel, Karrie Webb and the legendary Annika Sorenstam and Amy Alcott.
This past year, like every year, the Pro-Am event was filled with such stars as Anthony Anderson, Johnny Bench, Alice Cooper and Dennis Haysbert to name a few. Just to get the opportunity to get out and see some of the stars perform on the golf course was a delight in itself as well as comical and funny at times. They do know how to have a fun time and it makes it all that much more of an event not to be missed.
A recent addition was the new Legends Club that kicked off near the 10th tee and the 18th greens. Open all during tournament play week, the Legends Club featured grounds access, a fabulous buffet with a variety of foods and drinks to choose from, free on site parking along with complimentary programs and pairing sheets as well as a no-host cash bar serving beverages of all sorts. The Legends Club was a brand new way to take in the event and it provided spectators like myself that much closer to the action.
In addition to the spectacular golf the festivities, activities and parties that surround the event kick off the acclaimed 'spring break for the gay and lesbian community. The tournament was just one of many events that drew thousands of women to the desert for a little fun and frolic in the sun.
On the last day, when a champion was crowned, it was then time for the annual leap into Poppie's Pond on the 18th. This is where the winner grabs her family, her friends, and her caddie and sprinted to the pond for a cool refreshing bath. It was one way to let off some of the competitive steam that had built up and enjoy a little water fun and a memorable conclusion to one of the best events the Coachella valley has to offer.
