NAMA FoundationTopgolf Outing

Written by NAMA on Friday, February 1, 2019 , 9:14 am

We’re Dialing Up Your Golf Experience

The last few years have been such a success that the NAMA Foundation is continuing the alternative golf outing again for 2019! Join your peers at Topgolf for a competitive and fun time everyone can enjoy—no golf experience required.

Here’s how it works… Take a swing at microchipped golf balls, aiming them at targets to rack up the points. Just picture a 240-yard outfield with dartboard-like targets in the ground. You can choose from different games where you aim your golf balls at different colored targets. The closer to the center or “bull’s-eye” you get and the farther out into the field you hit, the more points you receive. Plus, enjoy great drinks and food in an upscale club atmosphere. Fore!

Are you more of a visual person? Check out a video of Topgolf.

Take a look at the website: Topgolf Overland Park

When: Tuesday, April 9, 2019

Where: Topgolf Overland Park

Time: 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Cost: $100/person

A chartered bus will leave the hotel at 1:00 p.m. to take everyone to Topgolf. Appetizers and drinks will be provided. 

Registration

Cost for the outing is $100 per golfer. Click here if you just need to register for the Golf Outing. If you need to register for the Golf Outing AND register for the Conference,
