I think the Ice Bowl discs would be great first place prizes!  

[CEValkyrie]

I am going to donate a disc as a CTP for the League/Ice Bowl on 2-15. Anyone else want to donate a disc? It would be nice to get 7 more so there are 8 CTP's for discs & 1 for cash.  

[jim]

I will be happy to donate a disc.

[CEValkyrie]

Cool, so only 6 more & we have 9 CTP's. Sweet!! Thanks Jim.  

[tree]

Webmasters-> Is there any way to edit the topic to this thread? Didn't realize until today that I put 2003 instead of 2004 .

Also, i'll be at leagues this week if anyone wants to give me those donated CTP Discs. I won't be there on January 25th I'll be there the following 2 weeks, February 1st & 8th. If you don't plan attending any doubles, let me know & i'll make arrangements to meet. I'd like to get them prior to the event so I can label them. Looks like we'll have more than 9 CTP's .

[CEValkyrie]

Dumbass....

I played the Firefighters Ice Bowl today.  8-10 inches of snow, 18 degrees, 50 players.  They sold soft mulligans for 5 cans of food or $3 each.  Amateurs could buy up to five.   They also played, "Lost disc is penalty enough," which is a longstanding Brakel Brothers rule.  They did not play, "Self-caught throw is no throw at all," but playing an Ice bowl gave me some ideas for running one.

At small unsanctioned stuff around here we usually just have Open, Am 1, Am 2, Am 3 and sometimes Am Women or Juniors.  There were enough old men for an Am Masters today but we all played Am 1 except one or two old guys who played Am 3.  

So I played Am 1 in a field of about 24 and did o.k.  I've been practicing putting outside in the cold every day and putting kept me in third, one or two strokes off the lead, throughout the morning.  I finished third and traded tag 100 for tag 8!  I beat some 930 rated players and felt like I played pretty good.

But shuffling through ten inches of snow looking for lost discs on every hole was exhausting.  I found four abandonned lost discs and repatriated them to their home bags.  I lost a turkey crush.  Where is the justice in that?

I am not coming out for your Ice Bowl unless Jon pays me to.  I'm coming out for those Illinois Open tournies.

For my Ice Bowl we are playing a temporary course on a golf course, but it will be par three disc golf, not golf course disc golf.  We are playing doubles and making divisions based on combined rating.  Tracy, my golf course contact, is recovering from surgery so I am looking at a lot of work getting the course set up.

Right now we have 6 donated CTP discs with more to come. We will have 8 Disc CTP's & 1 Cash CTP. Several disc CTP's will be for multiple discs.

I spoke with Chuck Martin today. He is cool with us doing Best Shot at Twin Lakes on Feb 15. Other members of the Wildwood Park District BOD may attend along with Chuck, to check out what DG is all about. Please be prepared      and be professional, as you guys always are. Can someone volunteer to take photos please?

The Ice Bowl idea didn't fly so well. He'd rather keep this event simple because of the arson fire at the park recently. Seems some local kids torched one of the storage/facility buildings on the east side of the park in Oct.  Understandably, the WwPD may be timid with pouring money into a park that gets vandalized. There is a BOD meeting tomorrrow night and Chuck will be able to clarify things after that. Jon, I'll PM you and Brett.

But Chuck is optimistic about the course and the future of the park, and we briefly spoke about doing a Grand Opening in April or May and inviting the neighborhood's families. Like a mini-Worlds Biggest.
Possible installation day, Saturday March 20th.
