SPEED GOLF
Sponsored by ADG
Thursday, May 2, 7:00am
Pete Dye Golf Course (back nine)
It’s early in the morning. You know you should get that run in. But you might like to get a quick round of golf in. Why not combine the two? It’s Speed Golf, the sport’s answer to skiing’s biathlon!
Strap on your running shoes (no golf shoes required) and your running gear. You will play nine holes of golf as fast as you can. Choose four clubs that you feel will best serve you for this challenge. Players will tee off, one at a time, three minutes apart. With a couple of exceptions, the regular rules of golf apply.
The clock starts when you tee off on the first hole. The clock stops when you make your last putt on the final hole. Your ultimate score, then, is your shot total, plus the time that it takes you to complete the round. For example, if you finish the round in 40 minutes, and you shoot a 45, your Speed Golf score is 85. Simple as that. Price is $45 and you must pre-register with NSAA.

WELCOME RECEPTION
Sponsored by Leitner-Poma and SMI SnowMakers
Tuesday, April 30, 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Masters Plaza
There’s not a better way to relax and connect, and toast to the end of the ski season, with industry friends than our opening night cocktail reception. Outside, under the desert sky and the scented pergolas of the resort’s adobe patio, bend your elbow with generous appetizers and cocktails, socializing near the outdoor fire pits with our guitar trio in the background. The attire is "resort casual" reflecting the laid-back atmosphere of the Palm Springs desert at night.

FINAL NIGHT PARTY
Sponsored by AXESS & Liftopia
Thursday, May 2, 7:00 - 10:00 pm
Adjacent to the Pete Dye Golf Shop
To capitalize on Palm Springs’ great weather and idyllic views, we celebrate the end of the ski season alfresco, with an upscale lawn party. Our menu will feature stations of tempting California cuisine and wines spread throughout the garden party, with tables, comfy lawn couches, and multiple bars to maximize the mingling. And we bring the music outside with a jazzy,r ockin’ band under the stars. We also take advantage of the verdant setting with driving contests (glow-in-the-dark golf balls and drivers provided!), closest to the tee competitions, croquet, even beer pong – this is not your father’s lawn party! As the sun sets against the dramatic backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the desert nights become cool, so a jacket or sweater is advised (and no heels, as we’ll be on the green).
