Registration Opens For NTA at Bandon
Registration is now open for the annual conference of the Northwest Turfgrass Association to be held at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, with a special early bird rate available between now and July 31.
The 73rd edition of the NTA Conference will be Oct. 27-29 with an early bird registration rate of $725 for double occupancy, which includes three nights lodging at the famed resort on the southern Oregon coast.
The NTA conference is growing this year with a third night of lodging and another lunch added compared to past conferences. The conference will again be Sunday through Tuesday, but the golf outings, the dinners and the number of nights lodging will be different.
Instead of golf at mid-day on Sunday, we will leave Sunday as pretty much a travel day because of the distance to get to Bandon Dunes. The NTA plans to greet you with a cocktail after your long journey, and include lodging for Sunday night, but everything else Sunday is on your own.
That means Monday morning will start with breakfast, then the education session, lunch, golf and then dinner, and overnight accommodations. Tuesday will be the same, with morning education, then golf, then dinner and overnight accommodations. Three nights of lodging will be included in the registration package, and come Wednesday morning you’re on your own to travel home, or stick around Bandon Dunes for some more great golf.
