This year's Memphis Dogwood Classic was fantastic, but everyone certainly missed playing Bud Hill. We promised everyone in early May that we would invite everyone back for an event at beautiful Bud Hill. After much work on the course from the Bud Hill crew, the course is ready and the date is set. Make your plans now for June 25th, and let's "Flood the Hill" for two rounds of disc golf and fun with friends in the Southern Nationals. This will be a sanctioned event and points will be awarded towards next year's Championships.

Hope i can make this one!

Hey robby,whats the possibility of including the ridge in one of the rounds and making it a 27 hole round for one of em..i know its gonna be hot but its only 9 more holes.plus i would imagine more than 72 golfers showing up so maybe even 27 both rounds to eliminate 5somes on several holes.just an idea bro.

It's on the to attend list.

ScottyD:

There is a very strong possibility that we'll use those holes. Hopefully, our turnout will put players on all 27 holes.

If anyone reading this thread is pretty sure they will make it, then post a reply expressing your intent.

THANKS for posting this event on the schedule.

We are also in the process of raising money to put 18 brand new baskets on the East side of Shelby Forest. There will be some very rare Memphis discs that will be raffled off at this event. 100% of those proceeds will go towards the new buckets on the East side.

If anyone who has played the Forest for years (or months) would like to publicly or anonymously make a full basket donation, PM me for details. You can pick your hole and your contribution would certainly help us meet our goal. We need close to $6,000 to make the order and we are only $2,000 short.

Any amount of money ($10 - $50 - $whatever) will help so PM me if you're interested in making a contribution. The Forest is the oldest course in Memphis and it needs some love.

ill be making this one b/c im moving to memphis this weekend :)

I'll be there

This sounds AWESOME! I will plan to attend...not 100%...YET :)

moving to memphis dustin? good to hear! what part of town are you staying in?

I plan on being there.

I will be there!

I'll be playing Advanced Masters.

Good to hear there is already some buzzz about this one. Anyone seeing this, please continue to express your intent to be here as you stumble up on this thread if you plan on coming...

This is not a fundraiser event and 100% of entry money will be paid out.

But... I wanted to post a couple items that will be raffled off June 25th at the event. You DO NOT have to be present to win.

Item #1: BUD HILL Hole #18 Flat Top Ching Rancho Roc 180 grams MINT

This item will be in a silent auction. The first bid is $30.00. Remember that 100% of the money raised by these Rocs will be put into the new baskets on the East side of Shelby Forest. If you'd like to bid on this Roc, PM me and we'll raise the bid online. The last bid online before the event will be posted on a clipboard next to the Roc and the auction will end at the awards ceremony. Folks will have a chance to go over the final bid at the tournament.


Item #2: Dogwood 2007 Flat Top Ching Rancho Roc 177 grams MINT / The Very First Roc Run Flat Top Rancho Roc (notice the Hole #1 on the basket) from 2006 175 grams MINT

This package of two Rocs will be raffled off. Tickets are available for $5 a piece. At the awards ceremony, I will pull tickets out of a plastic box and the first ticket pulled will win the 2007 Dogwood Roc. The second ticket will win the 2006 Roc Run Roc. These Rocs are getting harder to find and you can't beat the flight of a flat top Roc. As with item #1, 100% of the money raised will go to the new baskets in the Forest. You DO NOT have to be present to win. PM me if you're interested in buying tickets for the raffle!

We would love to have you Cameron. Have you played Bud Hill before?

Bring Team Mobile along with you. All of the Top 10!!! Lol...

I played a while back when i was still playing ams, i played the lee naquin! I'll try to bring some more people with me but i will probably be coming by myself!

Dustin I live in Southaven at the Hamilton apt. They are nice. See Lisa Harp if you go there and tell her Matthew Gardner recommended you

I will be attending this one!! Chase Courtney

I will start the bidding for item # 1 @ 30$.

Planning on being there. Hope a bunch of Pro Masters show up.

You will have a full house!! Saw a cool video on U-tube of an ace were the guy says "Bud Hill", shows the disc which has a BUD HILL stamp on it, then throws it in for an ace at Bud HIll... must be older footage because there were no concrete pads and the basket was a Disc Catcher Pro. bud5996

$ 40 for item # 1

That's awesome Cam...the commitment to the love of the game :) I travel solo these days, but the golf and disc golf family is soooo worth it!

Thanks for the bid Ernie... Hopefully we can raise some real money for the Forest.

Brent Price donated an 11x KC PRO roc 179 with a center stamp from the 2007 SNPC.

We'll throw that in the raffle so we have three (3) premium Rocs now up for grabs... $5 per raffle ticket and 100% goes to the forest.

Would anyone else who's in Memphis or visiting for the event care to donate any TASTY plastic for a good cause? Maybe if we beef up the discs in the raffle we can pay for a couple baskets!

Talked to some people from tishomingo area. A lot of them said they were going to make the trip up there.

Sweet!!! More the merrier...

Just to paint a better picture, I'm gonna post a picture of the 11x Roc that will be given out with the two Chings (above) in the raffle.
