T
he Coachella Valley may be
nearly 100 miles from the Pa-
cific Ocean, but that doesn't
mean you can't experience a little
surfing in one of the golfing capitals
of America.
Since mid-November, golfers at In-
dian Wells Golf Resort have been able
to "surf the earth" on one of the re-
sort's new GolfBoards. Indian Wells
is now offering the boards on both its
courses, allowing players to experi-
ence golf in an entirely new way.
"We're a leader in the industry in
terms of innovation and technology,
and since they're relatively new and
have been so popular, we think it's a
good way to give our guests another
way to really enjoy the game," said
Joe Williams, PGA Director of Golf at
Indian Wells.
While many golfers have caught on
to the craze, for the uninitiated, Golf-
Boards are the hot new trend in the
golf world, and they appear to be
here to stay. GolfBoards can now be
found at more than 200 golf courses
worldwide.
Golfers have found that playing a
round on a GolfBoard provides an
entirely new way to enjoy the game.
Courses that offer them often gain a
competitive advantage over other
nearby tracks because players want
to experience what all the buzz is
about, and once they've played a
round using a GolfBoard, they want
to do it again and again.
"It's another amenity to add to
what we offer," Williams said. "We
have a lot of out-of-town guests, and
the GolfBoard is maybe something
that's not offered at their home club,
so they want to try it out."

SURF THE EARTH
HERE'S HOW
IT WORKS
A
n alternative to
the traditional
golf cart, golfers ride
GolfBoards just like
skateboards, with
their golf bags at-
tached to the front.
They can take them
nearly anywhere on a
golf course, and with
varied terrain,
there's just
as much
fun to be
had be-
tween shots
as there is with a
club in your hand.
At Indian Wells,
using one of the re-
sort's four GolfBoards
will add $35 to a
player's green fee,
and players will be re-
quired to undergo a
short training session
before being sent out
to use one for the first
time.
