DGA Mach X Disc Golf Basket to Premier at The Memorial

The Disc Golf Association, Inc. (DGA) and the Memorial Championship presented by Discraft are happy to announce that DGA’s new Mach X Basket will be installed at Fountain Hills Park just in time for the kickoff of the 2014 PDGA National Tour Elite Series. The Memorial Championship is always the first stop on the National Tour bringing in hundreds of players and spectators from across the country. For many, the tournament provides a combination of great disc golf and the perfect opportunity to escape the winter weather of their home town in exchange for the warmth and sunshine of Arizona.

In the past year several unhealthy trees were removed from the park to prevent the ‘tree flu’ from spreading to other trees (note.. ‘tree flu’ doesn’t really exist, but the trees were sick or diseased or something). When the big tree in front of #7 tee pad was removed I was overjoyed. I hit the darn thing every other drive and was glad to see it cut down. But after a few rounds I realized the tree was a critical element of the hole. It forced me to focus and work on my drive accuracy.

Our PayPal account is setup and we are accepting membership payments via PayPal. We have big goals this year (baskets, signs, trees) and for only $10/year you can help fund the projects.

Oh yeah.. plus you get the 2014 FHDGC bag tag.
