Birdshot Fundraiser/BassAckwards/Jan. 2, 2011

[bmugwump]

Come on out to Tom Bass Park on Sunday, January 2nd after getting all of the hangover out of your system for a fundraising tournament to help U.S. Masters & Texas States with course expenses for our part of the Texas Swing next spring! Chuck had this great idea earlier this year to play Bass backwards & call it BassAckwards, so we are ready to bring his little disc golf fantasy to life! Entry fees will be $20 per player with half going to Masters & States expenses & the other half to CASH payout (yes, this one will NOT be sanctioned). We'll start taking sign-ups around 7:30 and try to tee off by 9:00....it won't be necessary to pre-register either, just plan on showing up to play & donate some money to help defray expenses for both Shawshank & Jack Brooks course work. These donations will NOT be going into payout for either tournament, but rather to help the Dufranes & the Brooks Bros./HFDS pay or help repay for much needed and/or much already done work on both courses...which are both hosting a couple of our sport's biggest Pro events next year! And besides...haven't you always wondered what it would be like to play those courses BassAckwards?

FYI - There is a chance that DG Consultants will want to come out & vend for this one...if so, then AM payout will be in plastic...if not, then cash (obviously). I'll post up for sure as soon as we know....stay tuned!

I just posted a course map for the ʇuoɯןıʍ and ןןǝʍod courses on HoustonBirdshot.com. Check out the big 1,000' hole.

Billy and I played both courses today, I shot a 67 on ןןǝʍod and a 70 on ʇuoɯןןıʍ and was having a pretty decent game.

Mando markers that are maybe 3' tall are generally not a good idea.

Where are you getting 3 feet tall mando markers from, ERic?

I'm a little confused here Billy.

If it isn't going to be sanctioned, then why on earth would the players want their payout in DGC credits or plastic? The only time it makes sense to do an Am merchandise payout is if it is PDGA sanctioned...or if you are the ones supplying the plastic.

Help clarify this for me, will ya Billy?
