PGA WEST La Quinta, California Story and photos by Pat Krause To see more Pat Krause photos of Bob Hope Square, click here. The Bob Hope Classic had something new this year. They put up an area called the Bob Hope Square. Normally the fans walk through the tent with Hope Memorabilia to get to the field at PGA West. One year, they put up a tent just with Bob Hope items, such as a small museum. I would like to see that return next year to the venue. Hope Square is a ... Read More >> |

Monday, January 26, 2010 Palmer Private Course, PGA West La Quinta, California By Palm Springs Guides Golf Guide, Phil Moore The final round of the 2010 Bob Hope Classic was played under ideal conditions, beautiful clear blue skies, comfortable short-sleeve temperatures, and not even a breath of a wind.

As I walked toward the course, I met two spectators in football jerseys, who were hoping to get autographs from Bo Jackson and St ... Read More >> |
