The Bob Hope Classic
|
By 1964 La Quinta Country Club had become part of the Palm Springs Golf Classic later to be named the Bob Hope Classic. More than any other single event, the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic brought national attention to the Club adding excitement and prestige to the Club. Our Members enjoy volunteering during this fun filled event and our Regular Members are invited to play in the Hope, creating great golf memories.
La Quinta Country Club has been involved in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic since 1964 as has been a favored course among the Pros. The following are quotes from the Pros on LQCC Golf Course Conditions:
Quote from Charley Hoffman (2007 BHCC Champion)
“This is a great course. We won’t see better conditions all year.”
Quote from Hunter Mahan – PGA Tour Player
“The best conditioned course in the [Bob Hope Chrysler Classic] rotation – probably the best we will see this year.”
Quote from Tommy Armour III – PGA Tour Player
“Your [La Quinta Country Club’s] greens are the best I have ever played – and I’m not the only one.”
Quote from Robert Allenby – PGA Tour Player
The greens were just absolutely perfect to putt on," Allenby said. "I mean, they are probably some of the truest greens we ever get to putt on at La Quinta. They have great speed on them. I felt like I was going to make everything." (Desert Sun – Larry Bohannan) |
