BIRDIE BASH Tee Box Benefit
It's been six years since our last Birdie Bash in 2016. We thought it’s time to bring the Birdie Back!
Purpose: BSA Eagle Scout candidate, James Ball, is raising funds to repair & build tee boxes on the course.

What is a Birdie Bash?
It is one round on the Red Course, and you will be shooting only two shots per hole. We estimate the round will take 1.5 to 2 hours.

Use any PDGA approved disc to play.

18 Hole Red Course - To Score Points, throw one of the following:
• Ace/Eagle (hole in one): 5 points
• Birdie (one under par, every hole is par three): 2 points
• Metal Hit (including sign on top): 1 point
• If no points are scored on a hole, the player whose disc is closest to the pin after everyone in your group throws two throws earns a point.

Scoring Examples
Example 1: A par 3. Your drive hits the basket but does not go in. You drain your birdie putt. You earn three points: 1 point for the metal hit on the drive, 2 points for the birdie.

Example 2: A par 3. Your drive goes way left and lands 150 feet away. Your 2nd shot is straight but low and hits the post. You earn one point and there is no need to putt out.

Example 3: A par 3. No one in your foursome hits the basket or any metal as part of the basket. Only the one closest to the basket on the second throw gets a point.

We wanted to try something different since it seems like every non-profit foundation like this always hosts a regular golf tournament, and we wanted to stand out. I also use disc golf as an intervention for treatment and love the sport in general.

Any information would be great since I don't have any idea where to even start.
