SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ - Sadena Parks is running late – substantially late – to a photo shoot on the back of the range at Scottsdale National Golf Club. But the LPGA rookie has a good excuse.She’s playing a round of golf with Bob Parsons, the brash billionaire who owns the club and, seemingly, our time.

This posh, ultra-private oasis in the McDowell Mountain Range is the stuff of dreams for Parks, a publiccourse player whose starter set came from Fred Meyer, the grocery chain.
