PALM DESERT, Calif. - Aug. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Palm Springs Golf

Local author, Larry Bohannan, will be available to sign copies of book

Against a dramatic background of desert mountains, the sparkling green fairways of the Coachella Valley have attracted world-class golf tournaments, athletes and dignitaries for decades. In the 1920s, enterprising oil tycoon Tom O''Donnell built one of the first nine-hole courses in Palm Springs, and the area was a hangout for Hollywood''s elite by the 1940s and ''50s. Bob Hope''s namesake PGA Tour event became a mainstay, while Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, the Marx Brothers, Marilyn Monroe and more frequented over the years. Today, the valley is a renowned perennial golf destination boasting over 120 courses and exceptional resorts. Follow award-winning local golf columnist Larry Bohannan as he recounts the storied history of the game under the desert palms.
