Sunset Desert Member Classic – and six
teams were able to rise to the occasion.
Open to those in the Desert Membership, a special
membership category that provides preferential
access to all nine courses at The Club at PGA
WEST and at The Citrus Club, the tournament
was a smashing success.
The Sunrise Sunset Desert Member Classic consists
of two separate events. One event was contested the
morning of February 27 at The Citrus Club – the
Sunrise – and the other event took place the following
Sunday, March 6, in the afternoon – the Sunset – at
the Arnold Palmer Private Course at PGA WEST.
The Citrus Club Sunrise event attracted 33 players
and featured a Stableford format, while the Palmer
Private Course Sunset event drew 42 players to
compete in a Shamble format.
At the Sunrise event, the team of Michael and Burke
Hallerud, Maureen and Craig Johnson, and Julie
Johnson took first-place honors with 84 points to
edge out the squad made up of Anne and Burda
Stark, Adam and Betsy Dix and Jeff Burda.
At the Sunset event, first-place net went to Tom and
Jo Knight and Art and Sandy Antony with a score
of 19-under-par 53. Second-place net went to
Robert and Judie Chinskey and James Leal, at 15-
under-par 57, while third-place net went to John and
Melissa Ehren and David Smith and Nancy
