The basic complete registration package will be $550 and include two nights lodging at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. The rates are based on double occupancy, so you can either find a friend to room with, or we can set you up with a roommate for the two nights.

Registration begins Sunday, Oct. 28 at 11:30 a.m. at the resort on the Southern Oregon coast with golf Sunday afternoon on Bandon Trails. A welcoming dinner reception will be held Sunday night.

Educational sessions start Monday morning and Mr. Moraghan, the principal of Aspire Golf Consulting, will have a talk both Monday and Tuesday mornings. Golf will be played Monday afternoon on Old Macdonald, the newest 18-hole course at Bandon Dunes.

The NTA’s annual business meeting will be Tuesday morning followed by another educational session and then a panel discussion to be moderated by Mr. Cook.
