America's sports are a major multi-billion dollar industry nowadays. Golf, for instance, generates more revenue in California than amusement parks, fitness centers, and movie theaters across the state, according to a CAG (California Alliance for Golf) report published in a World Golf news article in March 2013. That's how the game is so important to the economy of California. . This means that hosting a golf tournament in such places like an exclusive Palm Springs country club is more than just a sport; it's actually doing California a favor. Golf courses, in general, are valuable because of the variety of people they can attract not only within their locality but also from abroad. La Quinta Country Club has one of the most beautiful golf courses in Southern California that cater not only to golfers and golf enthusiasts, but also to tourists and regular folks.
