A Salute to the new Indian Wells Tennis Garden

Visitors to the newest desert miracle stand in awe at the size and scope of the dream fulfilled in Indian Wells. This special section looks into the deals that made the Indian Wells Tennis Garden a reality; the stars that will fill it up, and the future that will put desert entertainment on the map again. PSL congratulates Charlie Pasarell, Raymond Moore, the ATP and all of the men and women who worked so hard to pull it off.

Well, at least we still remember Miss Shore and her incredible contribution to women's golf. (Pictured on this page is Dinah's former husband, sculptor George Montgomery, who has created a statue for Mission Hills Country Club to commemorate her contributions.)

Gosden's father was one half of the famed "Amos and Andy" comedy team which broadcast its popular CBS Radio show from Palm Springs in the 1930s. Freeman Jr. had free reign at El Mirador Hotel and, like Eloise at New York's Plaza, got close to all of the staff and famous guests. (The notorious Mrs. Simpson from Baltimore, for instance, snuck him cookies at lunch.) A fun read.
