Corbin Park Ice Bowl

[ScottW]

The Corbin Park Ice Bowl is still in its planning stages. Due to liability issues the city is pretty much requiring me to run this as a PDGA sanctioned event:pullhair: I am curious to hear what local players opinions are on this matter. I'll post more info when I get approved the the Ice Bowl people to run the event. Lets hear your thoughts on a sanctioned Ice Bowl event in Feb. at Corbin Park DGC - good, bad or indifferent.

[TreeLove]

Run it!

[Parks]

That might be too much cash for me, not sure. I'd want to renew my PDGA membership, which I'm currently putting off.

[General Scales]

I think thats a great frickin idea!!! Two rounds, both layouts plus three buckets to make it a 36? Ctp, ace pot and long d as sides? It's definitely something that I'd be very interested in doing.

Speaking of which, maybe instead of making it sanctioned make everyone sign a waiver to the effect that conditions may or may not be safe for disc golf and that any injuries resulted because of said event are not the responsibilities of Post Falls Parks and Rec. That way you can keep the cost low and still have a way for Post Falls to feel that they are being covered on the liabilities.

Set a date and I'll sign up. Sad that Corbin will no longer be the way it is right now. At least from everything I've heard it's pretty much final.

[ScottW]

As for Corbin's layout nothing is final until it is final - it's all heresay right now. The Club is meeting tonight at the PF Lib. at 6:30 (feel free to join and lend your opinion) to work on an official position and we should get word at the next P&R meeting at the end of the month as to exactly what will happen.

As for having a sanctioned Ice Bowl, the PDGA said that since it is a charity event they will waive their $10 non-member fee, so no worries there Lyle. Their only other stipulations were that either the $2 per player fee would be waived or would have to be matched to the charity donations ( I don't remember what they said), and that AT LEAST 25% of entry fees have to go to the charity. I'll run some numbers and see what I can come up with for reasonable entry fees, I want to keep them managable too! I am looking to add 3 temp holes - one will be a tricky shot that water could come into play on and the other two I am not set on yet. I may do a weird "Fundraiser Island" OB area on hole 5 as well, not set on that either. We'll see if there is snow or not:evilgrin:

You set a date and I'll be there. Hopefully I'll play good too, since I do play Corbin about three times a frickin week and average 4 down on both layouts. Also, if you need any help in any way shape or form Private Message me and I'll see what I can lend a hand to. Anything from grounds upkeep to helping get shirts or towels silk screened and all that could fall between. Got contacts all over the place.

[ScottW]

Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on something. I hate tourney shirts though so that won't happen. I gotta get on the ball with the sanctioning process then.:slapface:

[Parks]

Well, if that's the case then I wouldn't care if it were PDGA or not :D

[General Scales]

So any good word on the impending Ice Bowl tourney? I'm trying to wait it out and see

[ScottW]

I am waiting to hear from my insurance agent to see if I can get insurance for the event and not have to deal with the PDGA for this one. If I don't hear from him by Fri. afternoon I will go ahead with the sanctioning process this weekend and will place an order for discs ASAP as well. I am working on getting a flyer ready to distribute so bear with me.

[Tim]

Dunno the details, but Andrew R. (cefire) ran his Pretzelbowl ice bowl event last year as a PDGA sanctioned event, but was able to let non-members play without charging the fee.

[ScottW]

I am pretty sure that I covered that in one of my previous posts, but yes, since this will be a charity event the $10 non-member fee is waived. Also, since there will be mulligan's available for purchase there will be no player rating generated from this event, however, I believe you can still acrue points for Worlds - at least that is how I understand it. I have the flyer pretty much done, I just need to make a few small changes then I will start distributing it. If I can get someone to help me post it here in a PDF format I will do so but am pretty computer retarded.

[ScottW]

The flyer is done and is being distributed. I am pretty sure Wobbly Bob has it and perhaps a few others. I am too dumb to attach the PDF to the website so perhaps someone else could do it. I would be surprised if we had this many turn out but I will be capping the event at 72 players since we will be doing 2 rounds of 18. I will be doing players pack discs for Ams afterall (thank to a nice sponsorship from Rapid Fire Plastics) despite saying otherwise earlier. Things are coming together here - I did get approval from the Idaho State Coordinator too so we are all good there.:whistler: $2 unlimited mulligans, be sure to get some. I heard the Helena Ice Bowl raised almost $700 in Mulli's alone :jumpspin: that's impressive. I hope we have players who are willing to hand over some cash to help the cause.

[General Scales]

Does Jack @ Rapid Fire have any of the flyers? That would make it much easier (at least for myself) to go and grab a few for players that won't ever make it into Spokane.

Thanks,
Stu

[ScottW]

I am pretty sure that he has some. I also e-mailed the pdf of the flyer to Wobbly Bob and asked him if he could post it here for me.

[ScottW]

Here's the link to the Ice Bowl flyer, thanks to BobP. He posted it in the Washington events forum, oops.

Lol, I've been meaning to ask. Can a money order be used instead of a check? The reason I ask is because I hate banks. So, I don't have a bank account. I would be willing to add extra to my entrance fee if there is a surcharge at the bank for cashing a money order. Otherwise I have to get my lady to write me a check. Since she complains that disc golf is more important then her (which sometimes it is since she is a handful) I don't really want to have to pursue that option. More of a headache then it's worth.

If anyone knows where General Scales lives, his savings are in a shoebox under his bed.

Get it quick, before he reads this and buries it in the back yard!

maybe its buried in your backyard...perhaps it warrants an investigation? :chinscratch:

One step ahead of you. I was going to put it under the doormat, but my front door key is already there.

So I just spent it all on beer and disc golf.

Lol, I hope that one can of Earthquake and a used dx hydra did you well:laughing:. Cause that's about all the cash I had left. :trophy:

[ScottW]

I'm fine with a money order if that works best for you, as long as I can turn it into $$$$$. You can mail it to me, or send cash to me if you are comfortable doing that, or you can pay cash in person at Rapid Fire Plastics if you are in Post Falls. All 8 pre-registrations that I have got so far have been from players registering at RFP. Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions/concerns, actually, if you use the www.northidahodiscgolf.com website a PM there would be best. This website is cattywompus for me at home - I am checking it not from home now - but the nidg website works fine.

Actually my buddy Jeff and I just pre registered at rapid fire. Didn't get any mullies but might the day of the tourney, never know. Can't frickin wait.

[ScottW]

Here's the list of registered players so far. I did get word from Karen Brown that she will be coming over from Virginia City, MT, to play. I have her in Open women, and I also believe that Damien Hoffman will be coming over from Missoula to play Open. Thanks again to everyone who registers early.

[ScottW]

I am up to 23 registered and mostly paid so far. I have 1 additional for sure and a few pending, I just need to call them. I am waiving my $5 late entry fee until Saturday morning. If you want to register by phone just call me and I will let you pay on Saturday without the $5 late fee. If I don't hear from you before and you show up on Sat. I will tack it on:cop:, no worries though, as all late fees collected will go entirely to charity:biggrin2: You can reach me at 5oh9er 6eight8fivethousandtwohundredthirtyeight:slapface:

My only question is can I get an idea of where the other three pins will be so I can try and figure out what I'm going to throw? Or is that info only going to be revealed at the players meeting? And food is to be brought the day of correct?

[ScottW]

Yes, please bring your food donations the day of - I will allow $5 donations in place of the food if you can't manage 5 cans of nonperishables but would prefer to have a decent pile to give to the food bank. As for the 3 temp holes, all I will say is that none of them have been played in a tournament before, one is short and could be incorporated into the proposed new layout for the park/course, try not to get wet on one of the holes, and the other will be long, I am guessing 400+. Two of the holes I will move the basket between rounds and the other I will move the tee. That's all I am divulging for now:kissflowers:

[roadhog]

i guessing the campground for a couple. maybe new #5 and #6? then #5 now becomes #7. thats my guess.

[ScottW]

On two of the temps there is the possibility of getting wet but on one of them you would have to have a horrendous shank, the other will be a real possibility as I will be putting the basket within probably 20ft of the water:nahnah:. I think I may also move the tee box for one of the permanent holes to a temporary area just for fun.:biggrin2:

Well, I've not lost a disc in water @ Cobin in a long time so I'm looking forward to tit.

[Parks]

I would never lose discs in the water on Corbin except for roll aways on 2. I don't know how many drives I've put within 10 feet only to roll away, and quite a few have gone into the water.

[ScottW]

One of the temps will be throwing at the water not just cutting over a part of it.:shocked: Don't throw too hard!:angry:

[ScottW]

As I've stated before this website doesn't work well at my house so I haven't been able to post much from home, now my stolen internet signal doesn't work at all from home. So here's the final report from the Corbin Park Ice Bowl. 57 players, $1700 donated to the Post Falls Youth Recreation Program, and 233 pounds of food donated to the Post Falls Food Bank. Thanks again to all the disc golfers who turned out to make this event a huge success.I was hoping to be able to donate $500 to the city, the fact that that was more than tripled shows how generous disc golfers are - thanks again to everyone who helped me run this and who played :cheers:
