Thanks for the heads up Ride -- Sorry I did not make it up to the West Sound this trip -- I am sure there will be other opportunities through the Spring and Summer...

I got a chance to play WhiteRiver this weekend as well as Riverside -- top notch courses those two are :)

I enjoyed them both -- so did my kid.

I will be back for the IceBowl -- since its a Sanctioned event -- might as well a start working up my stats early this year --

See ya all there!!!

Signed up and looking forward to it! White River is such a great course, good mix of long/short, technical/open fairways. Played there last Sunday and noticed the #1 tee is now moved to #2. We all missed making that easy birdie on #1 :) but loved the fact you don't have to wait for dog-walkers and other park users to walk by between tee'ing off to start a round.

OK -- officially Got Scales and Myself registered and paid for. Got a quick question about the registration page though -- on the CTP drop down box it said YES -- NO money
and NO thank YOu was +3.00

I added both Scales and I to the CTP -- can you check our registration and ensure that we are covered.

Thanks

Thank you for noticing and alerting us of this mistake. The reg page has now been fixed and we are ironing out the situation.

Signed up and can't wait. This will be my first ever tournament, so bear with me if you end up on my card.

[General Scales]

Well I feel you, this is my first time ever playing a sanctioned tournament in the Open division, I've never played White River and I won't get to play it till the first round of the tournament. Nothing like jumping into the deep end :-)

[CMC206]

12 spots left. I just signed on.

[BangDEMChains]

So I am messing something up with the signup of this... After i select everything and attempt "Checkout", the following error message is displayed...
"Products marked with *** are not available in the desired quantity or not in stock!"

The "***" Is displayed in this fashion:

Ice Bowl 2013: White River***

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

[BangDEMChains]

I should also add, I JUST created an account, could this have anything to do with it?

Apologies in advance if this comes off as a dumb question!

[Ranger Rick]

registration is closed, must have filled those last few spots rather quickly!

[BangDEMChains]

Bummer.... Darn you unadvantageous payday! lol

Yeah I think you'll need to call Tom directly and get on the waiting list and see if he's able to take more players by adding holes or spots maybe.

[BangDEMChains]

Oh ok, great! Thanks for the heads up! This will be my first tournament, but i planned on driving over from the spokane area. I will definitely give him a shout!

Thanks again!

[EnigmaSquad]

Does anyone have distances of the holes as they stand right now? DGreview data appears to be the summer layout?
Plus i know they got rid of 1 and added hole 9 and stretched hole 14?
I know team golf was there recently...did they have a temp scorecard with distances or anything?
Thanks in advance.

[EnigmaSquad]

Also I know Tom does not check this forum, but does anyone know what we will be playing? Red/Blue? Blue/Blue?

You'll want to confirm this but this is what I hear...

" 14 is now a 733 dogleg par 4 and 16 is gonna become a 670 straight shot par 4 and the new 9 hole is difficult since we lost hole 1 "

Plus I think Tom usually has is RED/BLUE


Again you're gonna want to see if one of the more locals can confirm these things!


Hope that helps!

[Mikk]

Hole 14 blue is 655 with a mando, left of the tree by hole 15 t- pad.
Hole 16 is now 450?? Or mabe longer, just seen the new basket placement, bout 90ft? Farther back from the deep position. There is now a new hole 9, red and blue pads as well..

[Sgt_Mac]

Scales -- I already gave you the optimistic "your gonna do fine speech" -- just like corbin, but with no snow, just like downriver, but with more moss, ...only thing I am worried about is your COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGHputtinggameCOUGHCOUGHCOUGH

[spanky11]

Also I know Tom does not check this forum, but does anyone know what we will be playing? Red/Blue? Blue/Blue?

so we are going to be playing blue then red, most holes in the hardest for first round and second round switching about 4 hole placements. It will play a par 59 with the 2 added par fours. there are no measurements shouldnt really need them, each hole ranges from about 270-330 at most with a couple over that and a couple under

J-CARR

[CMC206]

My guess would be 1 round red and 1 round blue. I would also think that hole 1 would be there to accomodate more players and the island hole. 14 might be short to add another hole there. Either way its usually pretty much always the same.

[CMC206]

What time is the players meeting?

[General Scales]

What time is the players meeting?

This is a good question because I plan on being at White River as early as the sun will allow and trying to squeeze in as many holes as possible to see what the course looks like.

This is what the flyer says: "Check in at 8:30am"

[Ranger Rick]

I expect to be there about 7:30am to have a walk around before check in.

[Ranger Rick]

sunrise is listed at 7:45am

[TreeLove]

Which makes civil twilight about 7:15 - light enough to play!

[LJ Jubner]

So hole 14 was a clogger before now it's a joke!!! at TDG there where 4 groups stranded on the tee all day long.
New 10 is barely 200 ft and no route another joke
This course redesign lacks consistency. to lengthen two holes by as much as 1/3 and then throw in a 200ft to make 18 is just dumb
Start time
Although Tom's last name translates to "on time" that's as close as he will get to "actually being on time".
My bet is sunset will be a bigger issue then sunrise!!!!

[Mr. Anderson]

Jub , how bout some constructive criticism and not making it personal?

[Sgt_Mac]

Coming In From Spokane!

Awesome friggin' Tourney Tom. To have 2 spots open up and everyone in the car that came over was outstanding. The course was great, the players were awesome and I am sure we will be making our way back out here again. Looking forward to seeing alot of you Intermediates at ASC.

Mac out :)

I agree, the negativity gets sickening. The tourney ran super smooth and Tom and his wife were very gracious and did a fantastic job!!!

I want to send a HUGE thanks out to Tom for allowing the juniors a card even if there wasn't 4 of them!

I love how many more TD's are trying to lend support to the up and coming.


:yay:

[spanky11]

Bad play results in negative feedback, his own fault.
yes there was a backup on 14. it happens oh well. Tournament went amazing and Tom and his wife did a great job. We started late because there is a lack of help to set up, Signs, score cards, etc. Next time more people should help to reduce the cause of all this.

[p-nit]

Tom and Mary did a great job with little help. As one of the last 4 people to leave the park, I noticed a lot of garbage still sitting on the tables where (eh-hem) some guys were sitting during the awards. We helped pick up some of the garbage, but really?! Should just a few have to take care of the many. Pack it out if it doesn't fit in the cans provided.

It was great to play with the few chicks there, and a 16 year old girl that is going to be one to watch for at a women's worlds in the near future.

White River is an amazing course for every skill level (cuz WE ALL can't chuck 655 ft!), it is nice to be able to have birdies and ace attempts with some short, more technical holes.

Look forward to the next fundraiser tourney at White River, and thanks to the crew at Mando's for making it happen.

[Ranger Rick]

Even finishing dead last among the men's divisions, I still had a great time. Tom and Mary were amazing and I thought it went very smooth. The fact that someone shot a 107 leads me to believe that it was my play, and not the course that led to a high score. Now to figure out where to find non-tree magnet discs :)

[BangDEMChains]

Yes! Thank you so much to the TD!!! Great day and great event! This was my first tournament, but well worth the drive!

Thanks to everyone that made it a special day!

[Mikk]

I was suppsed to be there helping Tom and Mary, unfortunately the flu hit me hard and I spenth the day spending quality time hugging my toilet :-( I'm glad you players had a good time!!!

[Danni]
