The Spring Golfography Experience will be held at the Indian Wells Golf Resort April 16-18, and it is one you won’t want to miss if you love a great bunker or sunrise shots – or both.

It is open to beginners, intermediate and advanced photographers and golfers alike.  Adam Scott, in red, celebrates at Riviera after winning The Genesis Invitational in 2020.
