After travelling to Platteville, Wisconsin and Columbia, MO for two different qualifiers, the Disc Golf Club at KU has earned spots for three teams at the National Championship taking place at the International Disc Golf Center (IDGC) in Appling, GA. The National Championship takes place from March 27th - March 30th. This is both a great opportunity for KU to make its mark at a national disc golf event and also for our players to gain experience at some top tier courses.
We are asking for your help with getting to Georgia and compete. Usually we will take 2-3 rental cars and drive over 2100 miles in each one. The time and money spent is not ideal, so we are planning on flying this year. The event requires each member to take a week off from class, so we are trying to minimize the time lost. At Nationals, KU has had three members with two separate all american finishes and four top 15 team finishes (out of 40-60 teams per year).
Our team has always been a smaller, tight-knit group that loves to go out and throw plastic around. For your contributions, we are offering some fun ways for us to give back. For the second tier donation, we will create a personalized video for you, most likely of a single shot at nationals dedicated in your name. We always try to throw far, but sometimes it doesn't work out, which we think will make the videos all the more fun for you to watch. Every donator will be personally thanked in a final video following the end of our National Championship run.
For more information, you can go to our club website at KUDiscGolf.com, and also check out the T-shirt fundraiser we will be starting soon. There, we also have our youtube channel where you can see some of the videos we have made so far.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We are so excited and thankful for your help in advance. If you have any further questions, feel free to email our President, Damian Vu, at Damian@ku.edu
When push comes to shove, the better putters always come out ahead. Your $10 gift is the consistency we need to succeed. For every $10 gift we receive, we will spend an extra 10-15 minutes at a practice leading up to national where we will solely practice putting.
We are all super excited and are putting in so much work preparing for nationals. Your $20 will give you a dedicated shot in your name at the National Championship (more info in the video). If you would like a specific player to dedicate the shot, please specify in your comment on the gift.
Your $50 dollar gift will go a long way with our Nationals trip. Expect an even more personalized thank you video for this tier.
The big guns: saved for only the furthest of shots. However, for most of our team this is what we will be throwing for any 300+ ft shot. Your donation will fund someones entire stay at the hotels for the week. As with before, expect an even bigger, more personalized video for this tier.
