he New York Times called David Feherty “a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Carson.” With a sharp wit and irreverent style, the professional golfer turned golf analyst, talk show host and sports broadcaster has made a name for himself as one of the most hilarious and irrepressible personalities in golf. He and his stage shows have been praised by numerous publications and reviews with verbiage such as “uncensored and unhinged,” “uproariously funny” and “two hours of zaniness and madcap storytelling.” As a touring professional he won

five European Tour events, seriously competed at the Open Championship twice (1989 and 1994) and played on Europe’s 1991 Ryder Cup team. Late in his career he joined the PGA Tour. Since retiring, he has worked as a television personality, and from 1997 through 2015, Feherty served as an on-course reporter for the PGA Tour on CBS. In 2011, he introduced a self-titled interview series on Golf Channel and subsequently joined NBC Sports full-time in 2016. Feherty’s cutting edge style is replete with colorful stories from behind the scenes. Be ready!

Headliners will include Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and Luke Combs (yes, seriously!) with other performers to include Jordan Davis, Tanya Tucker, Ryan Hurd, The Cactus Blossoms, The Black Crowes, Smokey Robinson, Maren Morris and around 40 more acts on multiple stages. Delicious eats and drinks will include fare from Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse and Half-Pint Hootenanny

among dozens of other tasty food and beverage vendors. Get your dance on with some linedancing and two-step in the air-conditioned HonkyTonk Dance Hall and meet the Compton Cowboys and their horses. For some Sunday night clubbing, stop in at Diplo Late Night in Palomino to see what this superstar DJ and producer is cranking out. Plan a ride on the giant Ferris wheel (Le Grand Wheel), second only in size to the London Eye and Le Grande Roue de Paris. The most important tip: don’t even think about showing up at Stagecoach without a cowboy hat and boots!

For leisurely hikes, check out the 3-mile 49 Palms Oasis hike or the 4-mile Lost Horse Mine and mountain hike. 6554 Park Blvd.

La Quinta Bear Creek Canyon Trail After cruising through a flat, sandy wash for the first 30 minutes, the gain hits all at once around the two-mile mark. But the steep trek through the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountain National Monument is well worth it, and is a prime spot for a picnic. Access trail near the intersection of Calle Tecate and Avenida Madero. Cove to Lake The first part of the 6.4-mile path is relatively flat, cutting through wideopen sandy terrain at the base of the Southern Santa Rosa Mountains before transitioning to more ups and downs. The path veers away from private property and heads towards Lake Cahuilla. Access the trailhead on Calle Tecate.

Morongo Valley Canyon Trail This 8.34-mile round trip hike descends gradually from the higher, cooler Mojave Desert down the canyon to the warmer Colorado Desert climate. This trail is a favorite of many local hikers and horseback riders. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, 11055 East Drive. Yucca Ridge Trail This moderate to difficult .72-mile trail fetures vegetation of the desert scrub, including creosote bush, Mojave yucca, Mormon tea, numerous species of cacti and even club moss clinging to the cool sides of the
