Sunrise made the golf course emerge as if from a dream. One by one the stars winked out in the west and, with a stretch, a yawn, and a slow unfolding of her legs from bed, the Sun gradually gave a streak of pale, watery light which crested the wrinkled brow of the Pinto Mountains in Palm Springs, California.
