DUEL IN THE DESERT
The second annual Desert 2-Ball Challenge returns during April's Coachella festival
T
he first weekend of Coachella is April 11-13, a time when thousands of people will descend on the
Coachella Valley for the annual music and arts festival, filling hotel rooms, restaurants and open
spaces. So what's a golfer to do?
The answer may very well be music to your ears: Play in the Desert 2-Ball Challenge.
The second annual tournament is set to return on that same music-filled weekend, with three
days of competition on three of the Coachella Valley's finest golf courses.
"We wanted to appeal to those who were not inter-
ested in attending Coachella, so we created this tourna-
ment last year and it was a big success," said Michael
Tebbetts, Director of Sales and Marketing at Indian Wells.
Two-player teams will compete in a variety of formats
on three of the region's most renowned tracks.
The first day of competition kicks off at Indian Wells,
where participants will partake in a scramble format on
the Players Course. The second day is a better-ball com-
petition on the Pete Dye Course at Mission Hills, and the
finale features a shamble format at Classic Club, which
will be followed by an awards banquet.
The entry fee is $299 per player or $598 per team, and
includes award prizes, tee gifts, and contests and more.
