2011 Pro-Am San Francisco Safari
Saturday, July 23rd and Sunday 24th

The San Francisco Disc Golf Club is proud to present the 2011 San Francisco Safari
in Golden Gate Park. This is a PDGA sanctioned event and part of the NorCal Series.

This years event will be a Pro-Am tournament due in large part to the fact that we will
also have the Safari South Course along with our permanent Marx Meadow Course.

Registration opens on Monday, May 30th, 2011 at 8pm PST

Registration for this event is online only through the PDGA website:

P.S. If the golf is not enough to entice you to come to SF, note that the World Champion San Francisco Giants are playing the Brewers on Friday night, July 22nd at AT&T Park. Tickets are still available online -- when it sells out you can always go to StubHub or Craigslist.

There are still openings in the Open Divisions. Register here at:

Hello Ross the Toss. John Merhi here from beautiful Gaithersburg MD.

While you are busy running this HUGE event, we will be on the opposite side of the prairie holding the 17th Annual Mid-Atlantic AM Championship. It's going to be 101 in Gaithersburg on Saturday, but will cool down to 93 on Sunday.

17 years is a long time, but if I remember correctly, the winner of the very 1st Mid-Atlantic AM Championship was none other than Ross 'the Toss' Hammond!

Best of luck to you this weekend.

Thanks John! Yes, that certainly was a long time ago....My game has gone down since then but I am still having fun! Say hey to all the homies at Seneca -- still have not played it since it has been redesigned. Good luck this weekend.
Ross
