Saturday - October 9, 1999 - Extracurricular

Early Arrivals and Check-in at Marriott Marina Beach Hotel

• Golf: Contact Mr. Brian Cohen, director of "Rather Be Golfing. Telephone number 310.458.6898; Fax 310.393.6813. Brian can arrange play for 72 - 144 people all teeing off at the same time. An 18 hole game usually takes 5 hours and Brian would arrange pick up at our conference hotel at around 10:30 AM Minimum 4 people for $165.00 each; 10 people and up at $125.00 per person. They represent 16 public, semi-private and private golf courses in the LA area. "Rather Be Golfing" is the organization used by the hotel for guests. The golf courses in the Los Angeles area tend to get busy on the weekends so I would recommend making arrangements early. Also, while there are many courses, many are private or would require commute time longer than 45 minutes, so Brian's plan sounds like the best option.
• Tennis: The closet tennis to our conference hotel is "Marina Tennis" telephone 310.822.BALL. They have 3 courts and charge $15 per hour, per court at night and $12 per hour, per court during the day. The facility is approximately a half-mile walk from the Marriott. Our contact at the facility is Robert.
