a
nyone who loves golf likely loves
competition, and locals recently
had a chance to watch 10 ama-
teurs battle it out on the course in a new
television special called "The Shootout at
Indian Wells Golf Resort."
"It was a fun way for the network to in-
teract with its viewers and create a spe-
cial opportunity to compete in a fun and
unique way," said Michael Tebbetts, the
Director of Sales and Marketing at Indian
Wells Golf Resort, adding that he'd like to
host the event again in the future.
Filmed in September and originally
aired in mid-November by KMIR NBC
Palm Springs, the two-episode competi-
tion can be viewed online. The high-
pressure nine-hole format featured male
and female golfers from all corners of
the Coachella Valley and eliminated the
player with the highest score on each
hole. King Wilder of La Quinta shot 3-
under-par and won in a playoff.
"It was nerve-wracking on every single
shot," Wilder said. "Every shot counts in
this kind of format."
