The LLGA held its final mixer of the 2025-26 season in early May.

It was a great way to wrap up the season with a “ChaChaCha 123” format and a “Furthest to the Pin” contest. This year’s theme was Phantom of the Opera with a lovely French food luncheon that followed in the Lakeside Room.

What a fantastic morning of racquets and camaraderie at our recent Padel Day outing in Palm Springs!

Donny led a group of eight enthusiastic members over to the beautiful Parker Palm Springs for a lively introduction to one of the fastest-growing racquet sports in the world, padel. The group had the pleasure of playing alongside Donny’s good friend, Caerwyn Evans, who has been instrumental in bringing padel to the Coachella Valley.

With perfect weather, great energy, and plenty of laughs, the morning was a huge success. Members got a firsthand look at what makes padel so fun, social, and addictive, it’s safe to say there are some new fans in the mix!

For anyone interested in learning more about padel or getting involved in future outings, members feel free to reach out to Donny, he’s happy to share all the details and help get you started.

All in all, it was a great morning and a memorable experience for everyone involved!

We were proud to host our annual Coachella Valley Bocce Cup here once again at The Lakes Country Club, bringing together league champions from some of the area’s top clubs for a fantastic day of competition and camaraderie.

This year’s participating clubs included Mountain View Country Club, Rancho La Quinta Country Club, The Springs Country Club, and our own The Lakes Country Club. Our league champions, Rolling Thunder, delivered an excellent performance and earned a strong third-place finish. Congratulations to Rancho La Quinta, who captured the title once again for their second consecutive year. Mountain View finished in second place, followed by The Springs in fourth.

It was another wonderful event filled with great sportsmanship, friendly rivalry, and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s Bocce Cup such a success!
