The state of the art golf Performance Center in Desert Mountain was dedicated to golf legend Jim Flick last week. Jim Flick was director of instruction at Desert Mountain from 1987 to 2005, but is best known for mentoring famed golfers Jack Nicklaus and Tom Lehman. Flick passed away in November when he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 82.
Lehman dedicated his win in 2012’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship to Jim Flick, just one day before his death. Lehman spoke on his relationship with Flick stating, “He was a great mentor. He just wanted his work to speak for itself. He poured his life into people — the results they had would be his testimony.”

Last week’s dedication ceremony was held on the Renegade course at Desert Mountain. Guests were able to tour the Jim Flick Performance Center before and after the dedication. The Performance Center at Desert Mountain is an astounding 6,500 square feet, housing top-of-the-line golf technology including 3D motion capture, four-camera video motion analysis and Doppler radar. It’s a truly unique technological experience for golf beginners and pros alike. The Performance Center also features a memorial wall that showcases Flick’s career, as well as testimonials from Jack Nicklaus and Tom Lehman.
The occasion was a heartfelt tribute to Jim Flick, a man who touched the lives of many golfers in Desert Mountain and beyond.

There’s no better place to enjoy a round of golf than on the picturesque golf courses of North Scottsdale. The weather’s ideal, the sunsets are breathtaking and the cacti are beautiful – but try not to touch. Most cactus plants mind their own business; the jumping cholla is a different story.
The golfer pictured to the right had an unfortunate run in with a jumping cholla plant. This plant breaks off thorny branches in the wind. When the branches are released they bounce on the ground wildly or fly through the air. The good news is, the jumping cholla plant is pretty easy to identify and, therefore, pretty easy to avoid.
Desert Mountain Golf is home to six private championship-level golf courses all expertly designed by famed golfer Jack Nicklaus. With plenty of land to roam, golfers can relax knowing that the Desert Mountain landscaping experts are well aware of the jumping cholla and its capabilities. They try their best to ensure that none of the plants are located in areas where golfers might wander. This golfer was in a different golf community, not Desert Mountain, when he ran into the cactus.
