When will tee times be posted?

Just a heads up for anyone not familiar with the area. If you need food, gas, hotel or anything like that it is safer to go towards Millington. Memphis can be very dangerous if you don’t know where you are or at night. The bass pro shop is really cool in the pyramid but I would not recommend going at night. If you plan to go to Beale street I recommend parking at the Peabody Hotel and staying on Beale. The FedEx forum is also a great place to park for events. Arlington has a really fun mas ... more

If you plan to go to Beale street I recommend parking at the Peabody Hotel and staying on Beale. The FedEx forum is also a great place to park for events. Arlington has a really fun masters skill set course. Valentine park has a fun par 3 course. Orgill has two courses one that is pro level (lakeside) and OG that is par 3 golf. The forest has two courses right down the road from the hill there just isn’t good cell service but it is safe. They also have a campground but again not great cell service. Millington has a couple of campgrounds that are nice and safe. I would not stay in the campgrounds in West Memphis. Yall be safe and have a blast! If you have any other questions I’m happy to help! 901.569.0535 Good luck!

Can we pay for camping when we get there or do I need to wdit my registration?

Khris Cunningham    October 15 at 12:44am

When will tee times be announced?

Adrienne V    October 12 at 12:23pm

Hi, can you please move me to FP40. I can't find my registration link to do myself! Thank you!

Mike Bachman    October 11 at 10:07pm

I have never been to bud hill does the camping allow a 20 foot RV?

Brock Beeney    October 9 at 5:21pm

Signed back up as I became free that weekend to compete… please keep the donation from my prior sign up … alls good and stoked to be coming back !.

James Elkins    October 1 at 7:32pm

My plan was to attend after the tournament was back on… with the recent events and impact in my area with the hurricane, we have so much damage to our home and area, me attending looks unlikely. We may not have power at our home for weeks as we are very remote and rural..
Am I able to withdraw and not be penalized as of this moment ?

Nathan Fontenot    September 28 at 10:07pm

How's the course looking?

Jim Castillo    September 25 at 11:52am

Is there going to be like a Fly Mart where you can sell disc at this tournament?

Daymon Pugh    September 24 at 10:54pm

Not sure where I’m staying yet if I need to pay for camping, I can do that in the edit section?

Chad Villegas    September 24 at 4:32pm

I received my email saying I was off the waitlist, but I will not be attending this tournament.

Ben Lowry    September 24 at 4:18pm

I received my registration refund, thanks Tyler.

How are folks moving forward in an effort to recoup travel expenses? I immediately cancelled my travel plans once JRay announced the cancellation. My flight, rental car and VRBO were non-refundable. Four days later, when it was announced that the event was back on, I went and tried to rebook everything but the flight had more than tripled in cost and the VRBO was no longer available so I’m not able to get to Memphis.

Four days later, when it was announced that the event was back on, I went and tried to rebook everything but the flight had more than tripled in cost and the VRBO was no longer available so I’m not able to get to Memphis. I’m pleased to get my registration fee back but I’m still out almost $2K. I’ve chatted via email with both the PDGA and Dynamic Discs, both of whom do not want to discuss my losses but rather wish to celebrate the now “on” event. I’m happy for all those who were able to make it happen but I do think there are a number of people who have suffered significant losses. I can’t imagine a small claims action in civil court would be worth my while. Any thoughts?

Tyler Searle    September 23 at 5:30pm

Good afternoon Masters family! I have completed working through your refund requests. Matt arrived home a few minutes ago, and he will begin working on you waitlist folks this afternoon. If any of you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to reach out to Matt or me. Matt is handling everything on the competition side with the Daniels, and I will see that all of our financial commitments are made. Have a great day, and talk to you soon!

Hello Disc Golfers,

You're receiving this email as an official update on the Bud Hill Masters. As some of you may have heard, this event is back on! For those that don't know me, I am Matt Loyd (#40462) and I will be the new tournament director for this event. I'm excited to be able to make this great event happen along with Tyler, Adam and Soar Disc Golf. Thanks to Bud Hill and the Daniels family for entrusting us to take over this event. Below is some new information I wanted to share with you.

1. We have the funding for all the money (Including sponsorship money, added cash and t-shirt money) to be able to pay out the event just as it was originally going to happen. This is because of a VERY GENEROUS donation from Tyler Searle, Adam Searle and their company Soar Disc Golf. Those guys stepped up in a big way to make this event happen. Adam will be at the event to vend, so if you see him, go buy a disc or two.

2. We know many people have requested a refund. If you would like to still play, you can simply go to www.discgolfscene.com/budhill to cancel your refund request. If you still want to be refunded, we will start processing refunds on Monday 9/23. We hope to have all the refunds processed by Wednesday 9/25. If you do not have your refund by then, please reach out to myself or [email redacted]

3. We will be sending out more details as the event approaches including OB sheets, projected payout, etc. Keep an eye out for those.

4. Tyler and I have agreed to take on an A Tier on 4 weeks notice with an already packed schedule. We ask for a little lenience and patience as this event nears. This event may not have the same OBs, tee time schedule, assets, etc as it has in the past. Please forgive us and we promise to be more prepared for next year. But, together with the Daniels we promise to deliver you the best event possible.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to Tyler or myself. I am currently working at the Tim Selinske US Masters for my full time job as Operations and Logistics Manager for the PDGA but I will get back to everyone as soon as possible. Thanks for signing up to play the Bud Hill Masters.

Jimmy Martinez    September 19 at 3:34pm

I submitted request before I knew what was happening. I don’t want a refund and would still like to play. I emailed Tyler haven’t received a response. Thank u for your help!
