We interrupt our regularly scheduled golf instruction article to make a special announcement. GMS is proud to announce the opening of 2 new GMS locations. We normally reserve this space to speak about ways for you to improve your golf game (and we’ll get back to that next week). However, every once in a while we need to make a special announcement.
Two New GMS locations that will knock your socks off! First, for Golfers in Europe (and North Americans, South Americans as well as people in Asia and Australia that like to travel) ... we're proud to announce GMS Europa! Yes, GMS has just signed an agreement to open in Spain. In Sotogrande in the southwest section of Andalucia. Look for more info below.
And here in the States - we also have a new location - we have upgraded our Palm Springs/La Quinta location to SilverRock Resort. As good as the Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta was - SilverRock Resort is even better. SilverRock Resort is so good - it's the home of the Bob Hope Classic PGA Tour event each January. And I have to say it is one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever played!
To see how beautiful these golf courses are - the photos in this issue are dedicated to our two new locations.
GMS Europa!
As many Golfers may ask why open a location in Spain - the answer is based on the number of Golfers that travel more than 8 hours from Europe to see us here in the States. And it just so happens that back in March, we were contacted by this fantastic resort in the South of Spain (on the Mediterranean Sea just west of the Costa del Sol), about GMS starting a program at their resort.
Almenara Golf Resort has 148 rooms, multiple restaurants, 27 holes of the finest golf, plus one of the most extensive practice facilities I have ever seen. At the practice facility ... in addition to the beautiful turf, multiple target greens, private teaching area and 3 short game practice greens .... it also has 3 regulation practice holes (one Par 3 & two Par 4's).
How good is Almenara Golf Resort? Well, it shares the same property and is a hip-high wedge away from Valderama Golf Club (home of the 1997 Ryder Cup - do you remember watching that on TV) Almenara Golf Resort ... such a great facility - in a fantastic location!
GMS Palm Springs/La Quinta
Although we're going on our 3rd year in La Quinta (our 6th year in California), we had the opportunity to move from a great golf course to an even better golf course. Not just the quality of the golf course - we've also upgraded the quality of the practice facility.
SilverRock Resort (as you'll see from the photos) is amazing. Since 2007, it has been the host site for the PGA Tour's Bob Hope Classic each January. So you know the golf course has to be nice.
The practice range at SilverRock is just about as good as it gets - it's huge and we have our own private practice area on the backside all to ourselves!
What a golf facility!

"They Want Me To Give Them Lessons!"
Jeff,
I spoke with you a couple of weeks ago about my iron play. I was consistently hitting the 8 - 9 & PW short or to the right (at a right angle actually). Since our talk I have moved the ball forward in my stance & have had much better luck
Today, I played in a tournament and the other three in my group wanted me to give them lessons on getting on the green! I told the group - "I don't do lessons, but go to GMS & you can chip like this too."
I also won most fairways hit in my 9-hole league last Tuesday - 7 out of 7.
Thanks for your help,

Photos Of Newest GMS Locations
SilverRock Resort - GMS La Quinta location
Almenara Golf Resort - GMS Spain (Europe) location
Sotogrande, Spain (just west of the Costa del Sol)
SilverRock Resort - GMS La Quinta location
Spain - I love Spain, I love Europe, I love Tapas, and I absolutely fall head over heels for Spanish Wine.
Now I'm absolutely gaga over golf in Spain.
I, as most people that watched the 1997 Ryder Cup played in Spain at Valderama Golf Club - was mesmerized by the beauty of the golf course and the scenary that surrounded Valderama - the Mediterranean, the hills, the olive groves, the impossibly blue sky.
Well, our newest GMS location is about a hip-high sand wedge away from Valderama. Almenara Resort located in Sotogrande includes the Hotel Almenara, a world class spa, 2 pools (indoor & outdoor), sauna, steam rooms, restaurants, etc. Plus, Sotogrande includes a marina on the Mediterranean with shops, cafes and restaurants, along with 5 golf courses including the world famous Valderama Golf Club (1997 Ryder Cup).
Just imagine your morning session working on your golf game at our fantastic practice facility - then going to the clubhouse for lunch, as you sit on the veranda with your Instructor gazing out over the Mediterranean Sea enjoying yourself.
Then for dinner - you could either eat at the resort (hotel or marina) or hit the incredible tapas bars in either one of two small towns (one on the beach, but both within minutes of the resort). Trust me - I'm going on experience. And if your experience is half is as good as mine was ... you're in for a phenomenal time!
To read more about our location in Spain, you can go to the page on the GMS website: www.GolfMadeSimple.com/golf-school-spain.html - where we have more info including a map to pinpoint our new location in Spain!
To hear more about Spain, the airport to fly into, sidetrips, more about the resort, etc. - give us a call. We're all too happy to discuss one of our most favorite places on this planet.

Palm Springs/La Quinta, California - SilverRock Resort Golf Club
We have also upgraded our golf course in La Quinta, California. If you have been around GMS for a while, you have definitely heard me speak and write about my love for the Palm Springs/La Quinta area. Being an East Coast person - growing up I was always transfixed on the television watching the PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA Tour events played in the desert in November, December, January and February. As the Northeast was gray, wet and nasty - there was Jack, Arnie, Gary and Tom (Nicklaus, Palmer, Player, Watson), playing in the most ideal conditions imaginable.
So when I was able to make my first trip out to La Quinta to set-up our GMS location there a couple years ago - I was able to cross off another line on the "Bucket List". And now as we transition GMS from The Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta (host to 4 PGA Tour Skins Games) to SilverRock Resort (host to the PGA Tour's Bob Hope Classic) - I have to say that in a short period of time ... GMS is aligned with the best golf course (non-private) in the Coachella Valley!
SilverRock Resort is absolutely beautiful. Just look at the pictures.
Most of our Golfers stay at the new and beautiful Embassy Suites in La Quinta. We stay here whenever we've traveled to La Quinta and I must say it's really nice. The suites are fantastic. Plus, the breakfast in the morning and the Manager's Happy Hour in the afternoon are excellent!
And an additional bonus with our new location is that the hotel is now literally 1 mile from SilverRock Resort. All you do is go straight out of the hotel, make a left, go past Arnold Palmer's restaurant ... and you're there in 2 minutes.
The location of the hotel is so convenient. It's situated right across from the Old Town La Quinta shopping area which features shops and restaurants – with Arnold Palmer’s restaurant just down the street. Plus, a couple of miles away is LG's Steakhouse which offers the best Filet Mignon we've ever had. In fact, we went back two nights in a row just for the steak. The fish eaters from the previous night turned into carnivores the 2nd night. LG's is incredibly good and highly recommended.
If you have never been to the California desert – you're missing something special. Now, it wouldn't be my choice of locations in June through September (we actually migrate our La Quinta location north to Lake Tahoe during this time), however from November through May – I couldn't think of a more perfect place to be. I guess that's why so many professional golf events are played in this area – from the Skins Game to The Bob Hope to The Dinah Shore.
The biggest tournaments in the world call the La Quinta/Palm Springs area home – if you haven't been there – you should make a trip to see why. All I can say is that I never understood the allure to this area until I made my initial trip out there – now I can't get it out of my mind!
