Despite Bob Hope Classic easy rep, Palm Springs golf carries bite

The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic carries a reputation for being one of the easiest weeks on the PGA Tour. For good reason. This is the tourney, where David Duval shot his 59.

The mistake comes in people assuming that a Palm Springs golf trip means nice and soft golf courses for them.

Think again.

The Coachella Valley can bring all the bite you want. And more.
