GSfMO#371 The Palms Golf Club in La Quinta, CA offers a different kind of exclusivity than most private clubs. Price is not necessarily the deal breaker. You can't join The Palms unless you have a 14 hdcp or lower, and you must complete a round with your group in 3hr 50minutes! All new Members receive a list of ways to quicken pace of play that must be adhered to, but there's an impressive list of touring pros, Hall of Famers, Major winners, Ryder Cup players and Captains who are working on their game there every day. In this conversation, host Fred Greene sits down with COO and GM JD Ebersberger after a round to discuss ways to increase pace of play, the course's history, and more.

Before we speak to JD, we're visited by PGA Tour Pro Matt Every who talks about his recent appearances in Hawaii, The Waste Management Phoenix Open, and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to start the 2013 Season. He shares his off season workouts and how Alpha Brain has become a serious part of his daily routine. He's noticing that other players on the Tour are also starting to use Alpha Brain. Alpha Brain by Onnit Labs can help your mental game by quieting your mind that becomes so distracting during your round.
