yet worlds away in the heart of the Texas Hill
Country. The 160 acres of stately oaks and
majestic views reach their full potential at the
hand of master course designer Jay Morrish.
An exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable
staff will help you enjoy your passion for the
game. Tickets must be purchased by Friday, April

What is the Sync Up Station It’s a dedicated
space where TLA members can come
together to share, learn, create, meet, and so
much more. You can gather at the Station’s
tables and chairs to have a quick meeting,
hold an impromptu session, continue a
conversation with a speaker, or just recharge
your batteries. Sign up for a time slot if you
want to plan ahead or just show up. The area
is big enough for several groups to meet at
once. Check out the topics each day to see
what interests you. Find the Sync Up Station
near the Registration Area in Exhibit Hall 5.
