T hanks to the all-new Shots in the Night experience at Indian Wells Golf Resort, Matt Balesteri (pictured) holds one of the most unique positions a PGA golf professional can have in Southern Cali- fornia: Director of Night Golf. We caught up with him to learn more about the new attraction now open for public play Thursday-Saturday starting the half hour after sunset. u u u In one sentence, how would you describe Shots in the Night to some- one who has never experienced it? Laser bowling meets night golf. u u u What makes Shots in the Night an ideal venue for group outings? Indian Wells Golf Resort guests don't need to know how to play golf or be that skilled in order to participate. Clubs and balls are provided, so peo- ple do not have to travel with their equipment. We have a large-enough outdoor space to accommodate big groups as well. u u u What can groups who visit Shots in the Night expect from the experi- ence? It will be the best group outing you can ask for – a little competition with a lot of excitement. And if you are not sure, come out on one of the public nights and see the joy in the kids and golfers who are playing. u u u What's your No. 1 piece of advice for someone considering a group out- ing? Be sure to book in advance. Times are starting to fill up fast, and walking up without a reservation is not always going to get you in. u u u What does a typical day (or night) on the job look like for you? Making sure we are staffed for what the night entails, whether it's a corporate event or general public night. We make sure our staff is aware of the setup that needs to be done, and then help pre- pare the range, putting area and check-in. When the night begins, we make sure our staff is always staying busy and servicing all of our guests. u u u One thing about your job that most people would not know? We get to create our own laser shows. We can put a slideshow together of various images whether abstract or animals or people. It is fun and people tend to love the show. ................................................................................. >> CLICK HERE for pricing and packages.
