LA QUINTA (CBS) — Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to hit the links Saturday in the Humana Challenge golf tournament.

The Humana Challenge begins Thursday morning with professionals like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Bill Haas. Celebrity players include singers Smokey Robinson, Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton; actors Morgan Freeman and Don Cheadle and basketball Hall of Famer Julius Erving.

The tournament will be played at the La Quinta Country Club and the Palmer and Nicklaus Private Courses at PGA West, and airs live on Golf Channel 12-3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 1-4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Clinton will tee off with a foursome that includes Humana chairman and CEO Mike McCallister, World Golf Hall of Famer and former World No. 1 Greg Norman and three-time PGA Tour winner Scott McCarron at the Palmer Private Course at PGA West in La Quinta.

The former president’s Clinton Foundation hosted a health conference, “Health Matters: Activating Wellness in Every Generation,” in Indian Wells Tuesday.

Tickets to the even can be purchased at HumanaChallenge.com, by calling (888) 672-4673, at Lumpy’s in La Quinta and Rancho Mirage and Albertsons throughout the Coachella Valley

Where’s that guy from Animal House who could really hit a golf ball? Any chance the Bent One could take one to the cranium?

When Obama said he was going to Disney World I checked up on several forums that allow members to discuss their upcoming Disney vacations.

They were in quite a frenzy, they knew that the Obama Black Hole would create a void field wherever he went disrupting plans made months in advance.

Love it - and I live in La Quinta. Yesterday, Clinton and Arnold Palmer held a 'private fundraiser' golf outing at nearby Tradition Club, where Arnie has a winter home.

Humana refuses to disclose how much the Sinkmeister is being paid for this week.

...only on the Golf Channel. La Quinta got sucked into building it's municipal course called "Silver Rock", which Arnold Palmer designed - with the idea of it being the host course for the Bob Hope Classic.

Well, it flunked the PGA test to qualify because Palmer phocked it up bigtime.....tweaks were done and it flunked the next year.

Now Silver Rock isn't even in the rotation, and that facility is a big money-sucking municipal albatross.
