HOW, WHEN AND WHERE did you learn the game of golf? For me, it began more than 40 years ago in the California desert.
Located in Palmdale, a town of about 10,000 people in 1970, Desert Aire Golf Course was a flat, short, 9-hole public track with few distinguishing features, except for the Joshua trees that are native to the California high desert. Desert Aire was not a difficult course. Nor was it a course anyone was dying to play. It was, however, the course where I learned to play golf.
For that reason alone, I loved Desert Aire because it introduced me to the game of a lifetime.
