Ice Bowl in Aurora this January 27th

[Abelardo Arenas]

Seen some pics from the ice bowl in the Beacon News today!

Yeah, right when you open it up. Page 3.

A nice picture of Tafe Hemler & Steve Schlak.

And a second good picture...of Ray Esquivel (looking like he's about to rob a bank); with Gary Lewis and me talking in the background.

Could someone hold onto a paper for me?
Thanks.

I got you, Tafe.

By the way, you (and anyone else who wants to) should show up to our next club meeting. It is on Feb 13th (Tuesday) at 7 pm at the Vaughn Athletic Center on Indian Trail in Aurora. We will be discussing some club bylaws and results of the Ice Bowl. After the meeting, there will be some open putting in the field house. We are goinbg to try to start having a putting contest with a traveling trophy for it as well.

I bought a couple extra copies for you, and a couple copies for Ray; figuring you might not know about it.

I could bring them to the meeting (as Aaron mentioned in his post), or I could send them to you. No charge.

So just let me know.

[Tafe Hemler]

I'll try to be there, but transportation may limit me.  I want to join anyway.

I'm interested in seeing the pix and maybe the DVD.  Please post info here or please PM me to work it out.

The Ice Bowl DVDs will be done by Thursday, and in the mail on Friday. This is a double DVD set.

A CD of the photos from the Ice Bowl will be included (for those who wanted it). There are over 100 pictures.

Jason, Josh, and Matt: you can send me a message with your address now. Scott, I have your address..and I'll include the CD of the pictures. Again, this is completely free. It's courtesy of the Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club.

The Ice Bowl DVDs will be mailed out tomorrow (Friday). I'll also be making a double DVD set of the Discontinuum Club Challenge at Jericho Lake. So I'll bring some sets of the Ice Bowl DVDs that day. If you want a set (totally free), just ask. I'll be the person working the camera. Or just ask any Esquivel. And he'll get one for you.

I also have a 3 DVD set of IOS #6. That's available too ( it's free, too). Just send me a message first, so I know how many to bring.

The Ice Bowl DVDs will also be given to everyone at the club meeting this Tuesday. (It was postponed last Tuesday due to snow). So you can pick them up there too.

Phew, now I'm glad I didn't try to make it out there.  That would not have made me happy to show up and find out it was postponed!  We'll see if I can make it next week, my schedule changes OFTEN.

If you happen to get there late, we'll be in the fieldhouse from about 8:30 till 10. Otherwise, we'll be starting at 7. Come by whenever you can; no problem showing up at 7:30 or 8:00 or whenever. The rooms have glass walls, so you'll see us down the hall.

And maybe starting next month (...or definately by April) some of us will be playing nightgolf after each meeting. So, you're welcome to come out for that too.

Thanks to any that saved me a paper.  I got one.  I guess I do putt nose up, eh?

David (my 4 year old son) was in Today's Beacon. The front page of the Second section. The picture took up hale of the 1st page. Pretty sweet!

For those who got the Ice Bowl DVDs, I forgot to mention that each DVD has around 20 chapters. Each hole is indexed (has its own chapter). So you can hit next on your remote, and it will take you to the next hole.

The other segments are also indexed.

(And Josh, the IOS #6 DVDs also have chapters.)

I just played Jericho Lake this morning for the first time since the ice bowl.  I was surprised to find hole sponsorship signs, putting contest flags, and flags marking the path to and from the temp. hole still out there.  I removed the signs and flags, but may have missed a couple due to the snow.  I had nothing with me to pull the roofing nails from tee sign posts, so I left those for now.  Aaron, do you want me to get these back to you or are they trash?

[Abelardo Arenas]

We were going to start getting the course ready for the club challenge next week. So, the thinking was that there was no harm in leaving the sponsorship signs up till then. And the flags, we were still putting from. Playing Around The World.

But no big deal, they were all coming down in a week anyway. I don't know if Aaron wants those or not. He can reply to that. But thanks for taking care of the course.
