whats your opinion on
ice bowl type charity event
on thanksgiving ?
(due to rising insurance costs, hospital costs and the such it makes no sense to play football on this day)
on super bowl sunday ? (this could be ice bowl ish concept)
just setting up course (worlds biggest type)
the dan ryan woods at 87 th western in my opinion would
be a good place for an event
i think i know enough people who would lend/bring baskets
i think i have enough favors to call in to staff this event
im thinking more like thanksgiving 2004
it is a cook county forest preserve
i believe i would have to apply for a special use permit
depending on # of people
i have just started researching this aspect on their web site
but its a little confusing
i guess i got to get the BALLS and call them
what about insurance ?

Aren't there feral dogs roaming the Dan Ryan woods?
unfortunately
i guess there was another incident envolving a pit bull
attacting a dog in a yard
last year 1 person died and another was injured by pit bulls
and a friend of mine while we were riding through the
woods along this cool canal was bit by a dog off the lease
thats still in litigation
the problem i see with this location is it is high use on summer
weekends - lots of trash left all over
soccer during the summer
most other times it is usually empty - sept oct nov and such
some other disc golfers have played here but its been awhile
ive walked/set up several holes threw to my bag
plenty of room but need permission and insurance and forms to run anything
official
im thinking maybe a worlds biggest type event
can you say "discontinuum south"
gots a good ring huh ?
guess ill get motivated and walk out rest of course
i think i got like 12 holes with 3 tees
how many people would play on
the martin l king day holiday ?

church boiler broke
need 57000 bucks from parisioners (250 each if possible)
im charitied out [/size](gift wrap, cookies, mkt day, raffle, raffle, raffle, etc)
i support all the stuff the church/school runs to raise money
my kid has got the best education in the world
if i was to propose an idea it would have to involve disc
i have/can set up nine holes in the field behind the school
i need some ideas on how to put concrete numbers into an idea
do you run a worlds biggest type set up course and charge to play while selling stugg
or ice bowl ish ???
'prevent' heat stroke open ?
boiler fund disc golf
disc a palooza for st walts
im thinking set up nine and charge to play worlds type (get a disc)
how much should be charged ? disc cost + ??? = what ?? help
when is another issue ? weekends or holiday Mem day, july 5 and labor day im off any thoughts ?
insurance issues (i think this could be "deal killer")
who pays if disc breaks car window ?
ankle in hole twist type of thing ?
still working up courage to present something formally
Sorry. Responded to the wrong post. Disc golf is not going to make a significant dent in a $57,000 furnace bill. Especially given the almost exclusive disjunction between the set of people who put money in the offering plate and the set of people who play disc golf. That's why Ice Bowls are about feeding the poor. Who is for starving the poor?
just looking to spread the disc golf word
create a little awareness of the sport
have a lot of fun
raise a little dough
ive worked several mkt days, sold cookies to everyone
refused to do the gift wrap thing, gone to super bowl partys
summer golf outings, vegas nites etc etc etc
when brett metioned the final 4 thing
my natural instinct is i'm in no problem
its for charity
turkey bowl ?
ideas ??? reasonable goals ???
