Third Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl - Sat, February 21, 2009 - Aurora

[can't putt]

Given that this event is primarily for charity, is there some mechanism whereby an entrant can waive his player pack and have that $15 go instead to the charity?  Or perhaps only $12 since the purchasing power of the rewards voucher is not equivalent to its cash face value?

This would be up to the TD if he wants to do that.  The vouchers are less valuable than you think - the $15 player pack is valued out to $9 (60%).  But it's not up to me, it's up to Larry.

by all means if you want to donate your player pack to charity just mention it to the people at the registration desk.

Excellent!  I assume that holds for AM payouts as well?

Others may want to avail themselves of this opportunity.  Maybe you can have the registrars mention the option to players as they register.  An announcement at the players meeting might be good as well.  In addition, a well marked "players pack/payout" donation box would facilitate both the process and the final accounting.  I would be happy to provide such a box, if you like.  Obviously, pro cash payouts could be donated as well.

I second this! Great idea!

The disc golf world came through with flying colors last year!
There were over 255 Ice Bowls world wide, which raised over $250,000 and over 25,000 tons of food!

It would be great to surpass that total this year.

Special thanks goes out to all the sponsors, every disc golfer, and everyone involved in this wonderful annual event!

I would like to thank all of the many people that made this event a success!
All the volunteers, players, and especially the sponsors. 
I would like to put a special thank you out to two people.  The first to Scott Pitner for running a wonderful merch booth and having so much great ice bowl merch to purchase.  Secondly I would like to thank Randy Moore Sr. for helping to get so many great sponsors for this event.
I hope that everyone that went had a blast and look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

It's just amazing when you can get 50 plus people to drive through snow storms and play Disc Golf in such extreme conditions. It goes to show how wonderful and caring the Disc Golf World really is. Thank you goes out to everyone who participated in the 3rd Annual Jericho Lake Ice Bowl. The Ice Bowl was a huge success and it will contribute a tremendous amount of help to a tremendous amount of people. Be proud.

Nice job by the Fox Valley Crew.  An excellent event with lots of nice amenities.  The fire was great.  Nice job by Tyler cooking up some good chili.

Thanks to those of you who purchased Discontinuum Bag Tags yesterday.

Mr. Tom McManus made the front page of the Oswego Ledger!  There'e a nice shot of you putting on hole #2.
The other picture looks like Eric Johns teeing off on hole #4.
I'll save you a copy of the paper for the next time I see you Tom.

This just proves yet again that Tom McManus is a good looking son of a bitch.

Anybody in Aurora that didn't think the sport of disc golf had some truly gifted athletes just got a wake-up call when they saw that picture on the front page.
