Puppies, Frisbees, free food and a good cause-the WMSR sponsored Charity Disc Golf Tournament is coming to Oxford noon Saturday, April 26, on Miami University's western campus.
WMSR, Miami's student radio station, in partnership with Lebowski Tees, is bringing back the once-annual Charity Disc Golf tournament, this time to benefit the Butler County Animal Adoption Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter on U.S. Route 27.
WMSR's business manager, sophomore Nick Anderson, along with WMSR Chief Engineer Hunter Olson and Station Manager Hollis Davis, are the main organizers of the event.
According to Anderson, from 1998 to 2004, WMSR sponsored a charity Frisbee golf tournament, benefiting the Oxford chapter of United Way.
This year, WMSR decided to bring the event back, but with a new charity in mind.
"We found the old information on the tournament and thought it was a pretty unique event," Anderson said. "We wanted to make this WMSR's thing again."
The Charity Disc Golf Tournament will be held on the western campus Frisbee golf course and is open to anyone.
"It's much more laid back than regular golf, so you don't have to worry about being really good," Anderson said. "We want everyone to come out and play, no matter what your skill level may be."
Sophomore Paul Duff has already registered for the tournament to play in the advanced division along with his brother, junior Sam Duff.
"My brother and I disc golf all the time and this is going towards a great cause so we are really excited to participate," Duff said.
Duff has encouraged his friends to play in the event, even if they are not advanced.
"Two of the guys that I live with are participating, too," Duff said. "It's going to be a really fun time."
A winner for each division will be declared at the end of the day, with a yet-to-be-determined cash prize and a two-nights stay at The Elms Holiday Inn for the first place winner of the advanced division, according to Anderson.
