This proved to be an ideal entrance as parking was in close proximity and traffic entered on paved streets. Most importantly however, is that this entry eliminated cars from being seen on aerial television shots of the event. We are aware that some of the Sagebrush residents objected to our use of Sagebrush for construction access however we are not aware of any Skins Game traffic objections though the city may be aware of some concerns. Last year we provided each Sagebrush resident two (2) complimentary tickets and will do so again if we use that particular city street this year. In addition we will hand deliver a schedule of traffic patterns for the event. In closing, we ask that the City Council review this request to not only make the entry experience for our guests to both The City of La Quinta and Rancho La Quinta more enjoyable but also to enhance the beauty of the nationally televised broadcast.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1997 SPECIAL SKINS GAME EDITION e Desert SERVING THE COACHELLA VALLEY SINCE 1927 Tiger Woods, Mark O'Meara, David Duval and Tom Lehman compete for $600,000 in the Skins Game at Rancho La Quinta Country Club David Duval takes place of defend- ing champion Fred Couples. Mark O'Meara is a Skins rookie this year. Tom Lehman is playing his Skins Game, too. By LARRY BOHANNAN The Desert Sun bat does it take to make Tiger Woods nervous these days? How about 18 relaxing holes in the Coachella Valley against three other top play- ersfor $600,000? "It was a learning experience ; said Woods of his debut in the Skins Game last year. °I had never been through anything like that before, with so many people fol- lowing one group. I was pretty nervous at fust, but it was also fun with guys like (Tom) Watson, (John) Daly and (Fred) Couples. I got to know those guys and it was fun to compete and try to beat them." The Skins Game, now in its 15th year of big money and big pressure, has caused more than a few frayed nerves for players through the years. It caused Jack Nicklaus to throw a putter — albeit in jubilation — after making a $240,000 putt in 1984. It caused Fuzzy Zoeller to give Nicklaus a mock kiss after Nicklaus missed a putt, giving Zoeller a critical hole in 1985. Woods returns to Rancho La Quinta this weekend to play for an increased purse of $600,000. Three PGA'lbur vet- erans but rookies to the Skins Game, Mark O'Meara, Tom Lehman and David Duval, round out the foursome that will play nine holes Saturday and the final nine holes Sunday. Duval is a late replacement for two-time defending champion Fred Couples, who withdrew earlier this week to return W Seattle, where his father is seriously ill. "I'm really looking forward to it," Lehman said. "It's a great opportunity for me to play with these guys." The weekend's events kick off with a TickTickets pro -am at Rancho La Tick 10 s -Quetta today, with the Skins Game foursome 1-800-914-9075 joined on the course by pros including Curtis On TV Strange, Sandy Lyle, Saturday Peter Jacobsen and Al 1:30 p.m., ABC Geiberger.

It also marks the first time the Skins has featured three event rookies since it debuted in 1983. Skins is a traditional golf game, played at country clubs and among friends prob- ably since the game began. While no one who plays the game knows for sure the origins of the name, the idea itself is sim- ple. Each hole is worth something. Win the hole, win the prize. If no one wins the hole, the prize moves to the next hole, which is now worth two prizes. t a N N O i Two time defending champion Fred Couples withdrew from this year's Skins Game in order to be with his father who is severely ill. But it took the idea of big money, four players and a great golf course to turn the Skins into a nationally televised event in 1983. Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Tom Watson played for a $360,000 purse and attracted a televi- sion audience rivaled only by the game's four major championships.. The Skins Game format has always featured increasing amounts of money as the play progressed. In this year's $600,000 purse, the first six holes will be worth $20,000 each. Holes 7 through 12 are worth $30,000 apiece, while the 14th through 17th hole are worth $40,000 each. This year, Toyota has added $60,000 to the final hole for a closing skin of $100,000. Because of the format, the most mon- ey doesn't always go to the golfer who Plays the best for all 18 holes. As Cou- ples has shown the last two years, some- times the money goes to the golfer who plays the best on the right hole. "If I'm putting decent, I might do OK," O'Meara said. ` 11ming is everything in the Skins Game. You can be playing mediocre and have everybody else matching each other, then it may come down to the 14th or 15th hole and you hit it close and win it all." Because a bogey can mean nothing and an eagle can mean everything in the Skins, players tend to be more aggres- sive than they would be in a regular 72 - hole stroke -play event. Rancho La Quinta's layout, with reach- able par -5s and two par -4s that could be reached from the tee by some players, also helps promote aggressive play. "It's a course where you will see a lot of birdies,' Couples said before he with- drew from the event. `Last year there were a few missed, but Tiger and Wat- son made some good birdies, and I made a birdie on probably the easiest hole on the course other than the par -5s (the 338 -yard par -415th)." Because it's not like a regular tour event, the Skins lends itself to differ- ent and even outlandish departures firm regular tournaments. The most recent example was the use of football -style bash marks to measure the driving duel between Woods and John Daly last year. SOC HOLE BY HOLE Where are those hidden bunkers?

SKINS HISTORY Go back in time to relive all of the Skins Game's greatest moments. l,1^ fLM O IE NOVEMBER 28 � NOVEMBER 30 SIQNSHISTORY Before The Skins Game debuted, November and December were peaceful months for PGATbur players, a time to re- acquaint themselves with theirfamilies and maybe put their clubs away for a few weeks. But sinceArnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Thin Watson and Gary Player played for $360,000 in the Arizona desert on Thanksgiving weekend of 1983, nothing in November and December has been the same for golfers. The Skins Game gave birth to a series ofbig-money events with for- mats not seen during the tofu's regular season. Now in its 15th year, the Skins Game also has seen its share of memorable moments, from holes in one to single putts worth more than the winner's share of a regular tour event. And the Skins golf including its t me S Curren ho of g � Rancho La Quints. Country Club in La Quinta. Here's a year -by -year histo- ry of the Skins: 1W3ArnoldPalmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watr -son gathered at Desert Highlands in Arizona to play for $360,000. Player takes advantage of a five -hole carryover to win $150,000 on the 17th hole and wins the title with $170,000. Palmer wins $140,000, including $100,000 on a single putt on Sunday. Nicklaus, considered the favorite, wins $40,000, while Watson manages just $10,000. 19M Nicklaus known for his cool demeanor on the course, is so excited by a $240,000 putt on the final hole that he tosses his putter into the air. The $240,000, representing all the money on the final day, gives Nicklaus the victory. Watson won all $120,000 on the first day. Player and Palmer become the fust shutout victims in Skins history. 1illsom 9Anew home, Bear Creek Country Club in Murrieta sees a new face, a new purse ($450,000) and a new winner. Fuzzy Zoeller wins a record $255,000. Held without a skin on the fust day, Zoeller wins all of his money on the second day to defeat Watson, Palmer and Nicklaus. 19M Zoeller masters the Skins and its new home, the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West, for a second straight victory. He smashes his own record with a $370,000 weekend, sweeping the second -day money and routing a field of Palmer, Nicklaus and newcomer Lee Trevino. Nicklaus doesn't win any money, while Trevinds $55,000 comes when he holes out from the fairway on the seventh hole. I1987 The most memorable moment m Skins history u, occurs when Trevino cap ntures lightning. On the par -317th, with `; its island green, Trevino hits a 6 -iron that fords the cup for a $175,000 hole in one. In all, Trevino wins $310,000 to beat Zoeller, Nicklaus and the skinless Palmer. 19MAnother first-time Skins player earns the victory. This time, it's Ray Floyd, who has a reputation as a bit of a riverboat gambler. Floyd's big moment is at No. 16, where he makes a 9 -foot putt worth $165,000. Curtis Strange, another newcomer, is shutout, and Nicklaus and Trevino can't keep up with Floyd.

PARKING: From Washington Street, enter Rancho La Quinta off Sage- brush. You will be directed to one of two designated parking areas, -- between the first and 18th holes and between the 15th and 18th fairways. TIPS: Fans must stay behind the yellow ropes at all times and must follow designated paths. Because of the design of Rancho La Quints, R is dl g cult to see play on more than one hole at a time. The best chances to see action on two holes from the same location are at the seventh hole and - the eighth tee on Saturday and the 15th green and 16th tee and the 16th green and 17th tee on Sunday. Cameras are not allowed On the course during play. Daly struggles throughoutthe weekend and is shut out. 1, 'Y Y I s PLAYERBIOS TIGER WOODS AGE: 21 RESIDENCE: Orlando, Fla. COLLEGE: Stanford TURNED PRO: 1996 CAREER VICTORIES: 6 MAJOR VICTORIES: 1 (1997 Masters) CAREER EARNINGS: $3,133,958 CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Perhaps _ the most acclaimed amateur `" since Jack Nicklaus, Woods r'`' backed up the hype after turn- . Ing pro with a victory in his fifth and seventh professional events in 1996. This year, he again matched the expectations, winning four tournaments and becoming the first pro to surpass $2 million in earnings in a single PGA Tour season. He also won his first major in stunning fashion, a 12 -shot victory atthe Masters. That victo- ry included a 72 -hole record of 18 -under 270. As an amateur, Woods won consecutive men's U.S. Amateur titles in 1994, .1995 and 1996. He also won the 1996 NCAA individual championship while a sophomore at Stanford. HANDICAP: Woods is without a doubt the longest hitter of the foursome and will have a natural advantage on the par -5s. His accuracy off the tee has been shaky in the second half of the season, but Rancho La Quints won't be a problem there. Like most players in most Skins Games, if Woods putts well, he'll probably win. DAVID DUVAL AGE: 26 Z RESIDENCE: Ponta Vedra t w Beach, Fla. ' M Y COLLEGE: Georgia Tech c D; TURNED PRO: 1993 a e CAREER VICTORIES: 3 MAJOR VICTORIES: 0 r",, o Z CAREER EARNINGS: "" ;.';I H Id W $3,805,010 �' CAREER MGHUCHN: Duval joined Phil Mickel- sonZ NOVEMBER 28 � NOVEMBER 30 and Gar Hallberg g 5 as the Dill four -time a Y - Division Ifirst-team All- Americans during his career at Georgia Tech. He set a record for rookie earnings in 1995 with $881,436 by recording eight top,10 finishes. He added six top -10 fin- ishes in 1996 for $977,079, but no wins. His frustration of finishing second ended dramatically at the end of the 1997 season. He broke through for a win in the Michelob Classic, then won his next two starts, including The Tour Champi- onship. HANDICAP: Duval is a late replacement for Fred Couples, but there isn't a hotter player in the world. He hasn't had as much practice on the course as the rest of the threesome, but his excellent play at the end of the year nearly vaulted him to the top of the money list. If recent form means any- thing. Duval is the player to watch. RANCHOLA QUINTA MARK OFMEARA AGE: 40 RESIDENCE: Windermere, 0 Fla. w COLLEGE: Long Beach State e TURNED PRO: 1980 w CAREER VICTORIES: 14 a MAJOR VICTORIES: 0 ) o CAREER EARNINGS: N $8,506,775 a CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: One of the most consistent players on tour, O'Meara has been a star since earo- ing rookie of the year hon- ors in 1981. He won his first tournament in 1984 and was a consistent top finisher throughout the 1980s. But it has been in the last few years that O'Meara has hit stride. He has won two events each of the last three years and surpassed more than $1 million in earnings each of the last two years. HANDICAP: Half of O'Meara's 14 career victories have come in California, so he'll be comfortable playing this weekend in La Quints. O'Meara can shoot scores as low as anyone, and the short par -5s at Rancho La Quints could give him a chance for a birdie on every hole. n 4ENUE 48 - ,.:.

By 1996, he was the tour's Player of the Year with a money title, the British Open title and a six -shot win in the Tour Championship. HANDICAP: Lehman is known more as a grinding kind of play er, with success in events like the U.S. Open. But if he can grind for 18 holes this weekend, he could find himself win- ning the traditional long carryover skin Sunday afternoon.

The following is a ho(e-by-hole description of the course as the Skins four- some will play it) I495 Yards, Par4 For members and guests, this hole is a testy par -5 with a second and third shot up a hill to an elevated green. But for the Skins foursome, this hole is a par -4. The tee shot is played down to a fairway with mounds on both sides. The second shot to the green is played back up a hill over a series of bunkers to a long, thin putting sur- face. Bunkers also protect the back of the green. 2459 yards,pW4 The first demanding tee shot of the da this hole has a slight dogleg to the right. Bunkers are in the hills to tthe left of the landing area white a lake protects the entire right side of the fairway. The approach must avoid two large bunkers to either side of the front of the green. 3es133 Yards, para Asim leenough - ppar 3, a flat hole in a rove of citrus trees. Th . a green is large and breaks from left to rigid in the front and from back to front when the pin is in the back. Bunkers on either side of the green shouldn't see much action. 0 343 yards, par -4 Expect at least a couple of members 4ofthe group to fire for thegree non this short par -4 from.the tee. A layup shot of about 200 yards is needed if you decide not to go for the green, and a bunker to the right of the fairway comes into play. Instead the Skins players will play from the tee to a large, sloping green with a large bunker to the right and deep swales behind and to the left of the putting surface. SSM Yards, Paws A chance for players to hit driver off the tee. A landing area is about 290 yards off the tee at the crest of a hill, with a tricky bunker to the right. Past the landing is more fairway, but a slope could leave a chM cult lie. The second shot is played back to the right and up a hill to a large green. Bunkers protect the right of the green. But the Skins players may still reach the green in two for an eagle opportunity. Ya62e of tha estr eens on the course is thchighlight ofthistou h par -3. A large bunker rests to the right P g of the green and might protect the pin placement. The green slopes from back to front. A chance for a birdie or maybe a three -putt bogey. 421 Yards, para Another tdc drive. A lake to the left kY off the tee won't come intoI but P sY, bunkers down the right side might. Players might take a fairway wood or iron off the tee, or they could hit driver and play to the left. The approach is slightly uphill, with bunkers protecting the green to the left front and the right of the putting surface. 184 yards,Par3 One of the more beautiful holes on the course the par -3 is downhill o a 8 e e t P large green. Water runs up to the left half of the green, which features lots of slopes and dips to make birdie putts demanding. S65 Yards, Para This hole will provide some of the more exciting moments of the first d. A straight forward drive will set u sY gh P s. decision: Layup to the left on the second shot or fire a wood or long iron at a green protected by a lake on the left, right and in front. The green is tempting, since it's deep and has some room behind the green. The waterfall behind the green makes this the course's signature hole. 1OPen386 yards, pw4 . A simple hole usually pthe ip o hole of the course. A g drive to a wide fairway is followed by an approach played down to a sunken green. Like many holes at Rancho La Quints, this green is large, slopes from back to front and makes club selection critical. 170 yards, Para A solidPa r-3 that looks easi- 1 1 erthanitis.Alaketothe right of the hole shouldn't come into play. Shots pulled to the left will find a deep Swale. The green is two-tiered, with back pin placements difficult to reach because of the slope of the green. 567 yards, para Another hole where thea PI Y- 1 ers can let loose with their drivers. Bunkers and hills to the right and a drop into some deep rough to the left can cause problems. If the players hit the fair- way, they can go for the green in two. It's a deep green surrounded by sand and grass bunkers. A birdie might only halve this hole. 206 Yards, para A large, twisting a isti bunker p ro- 3g 1 tests the right side of this large, flat green. If the pin is to the right, look for players to hit for the center of the green and try to make a long putt. 14�Yard�par-4 One of the toughest par -4s on the course. The drive is played to a narrowing fairway with bunkers to the left and large hills to the right. The g gh second shot is long and to a green with hills and trees to the left and a deep grass bunker to the right. 330 Yards, pw 4 Will they or won't they? 1 S That's theq uestion on this short par -4 with a lake running the entire left side of the fairway up to the green. The golfers might take a run at the green offtk tee, but the risk is finding the lake. If they don't go for the green, a medium iron cans played to the fairway before a short iron 1 played to the green. he16435 yards , pm,4 Depending on.the wind t hole can play very Ion orle sonably short. A wide fairway has trouble only with bunkers to the left and more bunkers at the end of the landing area. W approach is slightly uphill to another large green with bunkers to the left, n17-1wr-S layeYpachthis hale tP5wo shots without question. The drive is to an open fairway, though a poor kick to the left will find some hills and thick rough. Bunkers in the landing areas for n' come into con t members' second shots coo play at all. The green is large, relativelytat and protected by bunkers on both sides. Look for an eagle to win the hole, a birdie siniPY t to tie. 4 to yards, P A tough driving hole, this hole d le s to the rightwith 1�0 bunker to the inside of the dogle. A bunker at the end of the first fairway will catch a few balls. The second shot must avoid water to the right and bunkers and hills to the left of the sloping putting surface. Like most holes at Rancho La Quints, getting behind the hole results in a delicate speed putt down a hill.

Earl Spencer drops battle with press The Assoelated Press CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Earl Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, dropped a legal fight Thursday against two Cape Town newspapers that published details of his bitter divorce case. Spencer said he didn't want a personal matter turned into a constitutional issue. "I would ask, though, that the South African media bear their responsibilities in mind, to mini- mize the inevitable impact" on the couple's four children, Spen- cer said in a statement. Under South African law, the nation's media are forbidden from reporting details of di- vorce cases. The Cape Times and Cape Argus newspapersin- tentionallY a broke the law this week to test it, prompting Spen- cer to file an injunction against both publications. At an initial court hearing Wednesday night, the newspa- pers agreed to stop publishing details of the case until the matter was resolved at another hearing scheduled for Saturday. But Spencer's decision to drop the case ended the dispute. "While we are happy to achieve this victory, we do not believe in rubbing salt into any- one's wounds," Cape Times edi- tor Ryland Fisher said. "We want to assure our readers that we will report on this case in a dignified manner."

The bakers said they used 1,928 eggs, 156 pounds of bacon, 250 pints of milk, 254 pints of sour cream, 134 pounds of butter and 145 pounds of flour. The mixture was baked in a 16 -foot -wide pan for 18 hours. Chef Alain Marcotullio, who has asked the Guinness Book of Records to certify its status, said the quiche was large enough to serve 125 people. The book currently has no category for quiche. Province rejects request for money TORONTO — gov- ernment ov- ernment Thursday turned down a request to compensate the three surviving Dionne quintu- plets for their ordeal as child wards of the province. The province said the govern- ment had nothing to do with the decision to display the quints as a tourist attraction in the 1930s. It also contended that a trust fund set up by the province left them with $800,000 when they turned 21. The girls were dealt with according to laws and values of the day, said Attorney General Charles Harnick.
