ValueXpress was a sponsor of the 12th Annual Bhakta Open Golf Tournament that took place on Saturday, May 8, 2015 and Sunday, May 9, 2015. This year’s Bhakta Open was held in Palm Springs, California at the breathtaking La Quinta Resort & Club – PGA West TPC Stadium Course and PGA WEST Nicklaus Tournament Course. ValueXpress sponsored the first hole on each course. About 100 golfers took to the links under sunny skies and a delightful breeze to play in an individual competition. The golf course was in excellent condition and greens played fast.
True ball strikers’ golf courses, the Nicklaus Tournament Course and the Stadium Course are both very forgiving off the tee and extremely demanding around the greens. Without a doubt, the courses are a “must play” for a great test of golf and for the magnificent desert setting.
“We are pleased to sponsor this event because it brings together the Bhakta family, many of whom are clients of ValueXpress. We have financed many of their hotel properties,” commented Jay Bhakta, a Senior Loan Originator at the ValueXpress Jackson, Mississippi office and 15-year ValueXpress veteran.
