We hope to install 12 WEATHERPROOF TEE PADS in the original permanent 12 tee boxes before this event.
Remember to sign up for the optional acepot,
too. It’s only a buck. AccuSpeed has
pledged to match every ace pot dollar with a dollar donation to Northwest Medical Teams! If you get a hole-in-one, you take all the
dollars. If 2 players hit an ace, it
will be split. If a 3rd
hits, s/he splits with the 2nd acer (1st ace hitter
always keeps half the pot no matter what).
A 4th acer splits with the 3rd,a 5th
with the 4th, etc. If no one
hits an ace, a one-shot CTP throwoff will determine the winner, with a lay-up
line. Any disc that is not entirely
past the lay-up line (through the pin, perpendicular to line of play) is DQ’d
from the throwoff. Go for it!
Ice Bowl History
Disc golf is similar to golf (disc golfers call
it "ball" or "stick" golf) in procedure, pace, and
psychology. Instead of clubs and balls, disc golfers used specialized flying
discs (smaller, heavier, and aerodynamically superior to the Frisbees used for
playing catch). Instead of a cup, disc golf players "hole out" in a
disc golf basket. Made of steel, it features a basket that is attached to a
pole about two feet above the ground and has two chain assemblies above the
basket which acts as a backboard that stops the disc's forward motion, causing
it to drop into the basket. Disc golfers play the throw from where it lies, and
count each throw as a point or "stroke" until the the disc lands in
the basket or within the chains.
The first disc golf tournament called the
"Ice Bowl" was held in January of 1987 at Albert-Oakland Park in
Columbia, Missouri, USA. It was an
attempt to get some disc golfing activity going in the dead of winter. The Sunday before the Super Bowl was chosen
because it was (at that time) a football-free day, thus getting rid of the
"I'm watching the game" excuse for not playing. News releases were issued, and on the night
before the Ice Bowl, it snowed five inches. The results were good as both 34
people and the media showed up. There
was a picture in the sports section of the Monday edition of the Columbia Daily
Tribune-disc golf in Columbia got some free publicity.
The first Ice Bowl was mentioned in the debut
issue of Disc Golf World News (March, 1987), and since then, DGWN and Disc Golf
World have promoted it. The initial
idea was to have everyone playing on the same day as an act of disc golf
solidarity in the dead of winter. Sun
belt states were encouraged to participate for this reason and because of the
irony. Because some cities preferred
holding their Ice Bowls on different weekends or on Saturdays and as was
discovered by the central organizers that people were willing to travel for
some disc golfing fun, even in January, an official "Ice Bowl
Corridor," was created four years ago.
This year, it has been expanded to six weekends, with the Ice Bowl event
for the National Capital Region slated for Saturday, February 9th.
In 1993, Ice Bowl merchandise was introduced
for the first time, and prizes for attendance, media coverage, photos, etc.
were awarded. In 1994, the Indianapolis
Disc Golf Club introduced the idea of collecting food and raising money for its
local food bank. In 1996, fundraising
for local food banks was made an important component of Ice Bowl, and disc
golfers responded by providing over 5,500 meals. In 1996, we set a modest goal of providing 10,000 meals, and
ended up with nearly 59,500 meals. In
1998, the goal was a still-modest 100,000 meals and we provided over 145,000
meals. In 1999 we raised the bar quite
high - 300,000 meals - figuring it was better to have a lofty goal even if it
took more than one year to reach it. We
did well in 1999, providing 207,250 meals.
In 2000, the goal remained the same, and we still came in short with
284,928 meals. Last year, the goal was
330,000 meals and we raised the equivalent of 317,000 meals.
Due, in part to September 11, but also because
several Ice Bowl TDs have previously chosen to support other worthy causes (Red
Cross, Unicef, Meals on Wheels, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.), the worldwide
charitable goal was changed to dollars this year, and the central organizers
are counting donations to all legitimate charities. That goal is US$51,000.
Last year over US$46,000 was raised by Ice Bowl tournaments. Pounds of food that are raised will be
converted to cash, with each pound of food having a cash value of about
13¢. All proceeds from our Ice Bowl
2003 - Portland, OR will go to Northwest Medical Teams International.
The first Disc Golf Ice Bowl was held in 1987
as a day of disc golf solidarity in the gloom of winter. It is promoted by Disc
Golf World News, the sport's leading disc golf magazine, which is published in
Kansas City. Official Ice Bowls are played at courses all over the United
States, and in Canada and Europe in a corridor which runs from January 12-February
18. Each event is encouraged to find a charity to support. The Ice Bowl goal
for 2002 is to raise over $50,000. In 2001, nearly $46,000 was raised. Last
year's leading fundraiser ($5,000) was the Houston Flying Disc Society. With
148 players, Kansas City was the best attended Ice Bowl in 2001, followed by
Hattiesburg, Mississippi with 127. The worst weather Ice Bowl was in Winnipeg
where there was 27 inches of snow on the ground with a temperature hovering
near -5°.
Last year in KC, 148 players showed up to play
on a nice 35° day and donated a record amount of $1,800 to. Harvesters.
According to Ice Bowl director, Rick Rothstein, "Not knowing what the
weather will be adds to the challenge of the event because the dedicated disc
golfers don't want to be called 'wimps.' Disc golf is a lot of fun, quite
challenging, and relatively inexpensive to play."
The rules of the Ice Bowl are simple: 1) Under
no circumstances can an Ice Bowl be postponed or cancelled; 2) No wimps or
whiners are allowed; and 3) There are no excuses for not attending. (Either be
there or be a wimp!)
The Portland Ice Bowl will be fashioned after all the best disc
golf tournaments I (Tree Love) have ever attended. These include, but are not
limited to, events run by:
