Who doesn't love Forest Hills Park? The 2023 Matt Keatts Memorial returns this year back to Forest Hills Park as one of Durham's most sought after events. The Forest Hills Park course will feature 9 additional temp holes to create an 18 hole layout inspired by Matt Keatts himself. This layout will be different from the Forest Hills Open layout that was used this past May. The event will be a 2 day 2 round tee time event ran as a Pro C/Am B Tier.
In years past, the event has raised money for the Madilyn Keatts Education Fund. This year, the Memorial will be centered around raising money for JDRF, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. In December 2022, Madilyn was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. We know Matt would want to support the JDRF to assist in research, medicine and cures for Madilyn and all children who have been diagnosed. $10.00 of each entry fee will go directly to the JDRF in Matt's honor and memory. Basket Bashers will also provide 20% of any and all sales that weekend to JDRF. Thank you to everyone who has made playing and supporting this tournament a priority for our family and for Matt. We appreciate you all!!
We have to give a huge shout out to Beer Study for signing back on as the Title Sponsor for the event and for hosting our player's party on Saturday night. Beer Study has over 20 craft beers on tap as well as great food and arcade games in the back. It is one of Durham's signature brewery and bottle shops and they have done a lot to help grow the sport of Disc Golf so please show them some love and support.

- Custom TeeBox Sox
- Custom Event T-Shirt
- $20 Voucher to Basket Bashers (Mobile Store will be onsite)
We will present first place trophies for each division.
The course will be marked (using paint and flags) the week of the event and is open to the public to practice. The course will be fully set up for play by 9am on Friday November 10th. Any help breaking down the course each day is greatly appreciated as we cannot leave the temp baskets out over night.
