Despite entering its eighth year of drought and facing what authorities are labeling a huge water issue, the US desert state of Arizona is home to 270 thriving golf courses in the Phoenix valley. Hosting September's Living Golf from the Phoenician Club, CNN’s Becky Anderson explores how clubs can operate in such a harsh climate. The show airs on 15 ,22 and 29 September at 6 pm.

As many golfers are now turning to yoga to improve their flexibility and spiritual edge, Becky joins their twists and turns in a masterclass at the Phoenecian Club to see just how it can help. Jack rabbits and rattlesnakes are commonplace at the Phoenecian Club but on the other side of the world near Melbourne, Australia, it’s another story. Kangaroos rule the fairways, greens and tees here and they do not move for anybody. Nevertheless the game goes on.

Private jets, chauffeurs and limousines and butlers are the norm for club where members pay an enormous annual fee to enjoy these privileges. Their clubhouse is in Scotland’s St. Andrews but they belong to many exclusive courses around the world, only one of which is the famous ‘Old Course’. Becky samples golf’s high life and joins their high society as she jets to Scotland with members of the 'Finest Golf Clubs of the World'.

Bernard Gallacher, a former Ryder cup captain of Europe who is now enjoying life on the European tour senior circuit, also shares with viewers some crucial tips from the bunker.
