He'll get by with a little help from his friends. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Mulligans, Silent Auction, a Saturday Night meal you won't forget, and a bunch of disc golf.
Hoody-Hoo!!! :D

[ganzel]

Awesome! :D Buck, from Buffalo Wild Wings, wants to donate! Is the Jasper Food Bank going to be the non-profit i hope? Do you have a number that he can call to get more information? Sounds great, thanks Jeff and Fish!

[jeffash]

FORMAT!!!
27 holes- 18 holes on the big course in the AM. 9 holes on a "hybrid" course in the PM
Mulligans will be available for the 18 holes on the big course, but not for the 9 holes on the "hybrid" course.
We'll start sending out foursomes of Advanced and Pro players, using a rolling start, as early as we can Saturday morning.
Registration will be Friday night, and from 8-8:45 Saturday morning. We will send out the first groups as early as they are ready. Cards for the first round can be mixed between Advanced and Pro, yadda, yadda, yadda...
As of last night there were still three cabins left!

[jeffash]

FOOD!!!
Breakfast and Lunch will be available on Saturday. It will be prepared by the Canyon staff and will probably be the usual $5.00
Fish's folks will be preparing the Saturday night meal :D.
It will probably be $7.00- and worth every penny.
The Canyon staff will prepare a "continerntal" breakfast Sunday morning. There will be NO LUNCH on Sunday.
Bring yo' own food for Sunday or you may get some hunger pangs.

[AlmaWillie]

Hey Jeff,
Some of my boys are wanting to head up there. Can you tell us an approximate of what you are looking at for entry? We are getting an idea of how much money to bring. What do you have lined out for the silent auction?
Is all the money going to charity or will there be some payout, or trophies?
I'm in it for the fun, but you know these kids like to have something to showoff. As if there youth isn't enough!!
:D

[jeffash]

I'm sure the entry will be in the $15.00 to $25.00 area depending on the division.
We will have some plastic and cash for payouts.
The silent auction proceeds all go to the Christian Food Room. There will be a variety of donated items up for auction. Feel free to contribute... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
I heard that lazyfurdog was going to donate a pair of bronzed underpants. At least we're hoping that's bronze :D

[sschumacher]

Surely there must be something over there that I left behind in the woods that someone would bid top dollar for? :confused:...I know that over here Twoputt scrambles to scarf up every Fur-Pie I leave on the course. The ones I left at Horseshoe must be "pretrified" by now. Those have to be worth something. :D...Maybe you should call the Discovery channel and have them do an episode of "Furdog: Digging for the Pooh". :cool:

[wforest]

... I need Fish's phone number to put on our mini-schedule ... quick-quick ... thanks

[jeffash]

All of the Cabins, the Tee-Pee, and the Barn are now sold out! :D
The States of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas will be represented!!! :)

Here are some other lodging options (besides camping)
Steel Creek Cabins (http://www.steelcreekcabins.com/)
Azalea Falls (http://www.azaleafalls.com/)
Little Switzerland (http://www.cabinsintheozarks.com/littleswitzerland/index.html)

Here are a couple of additional activities that will be held :o
FRIDAY BRING YOUR PARTNER DOUBLES- details to be announced
SUNDAY LONG DISTANCE CTP- details to be announced

Hey jeff count me in for the tournement i will be there, we got a cabin up there already so I'm good to go, i just need to know about the juniors division if you are going to have on cause me and about 8 other junios are coming, and we would like a junior division if that is ok with you or who ever is in charge......see ya

[accidentalROLLER]

Anybody got some extra floor space in their cabin?

Also, Jeff, is the tourney on saturday? or is it a 2-dayer?

[jeffash]

We we'll have a Junior Division!

[AlmaWillie]

I don't know where he got 8. As far as I know there will for sure be 2 boys from Alma there, TreeShark is still undecided about whether he can make it through such a long course. If anyone knows of any other juniors going please let us know. If you don't have a pdga number to post here call me and I'll put the number of juniors on here. I figure two juniors won't constitute making a division.
Also, I told them they had to go to bed early so the big boys could have their fun!!

Willie 479-997-2192
670-4295

[jeffash]

Also, Jeff, is the tourney on saturday? or is it a 2-dayer?



Doubles on Friday
Ice Bowl on Saturday
Assorted madness on Sunday

[m_conners]

Looks like I'll be in Texas working a Broadcasters Convention on Feb. 20th, what sucks is I have to be there on the 19th for booth set-up, looks like no Horseshoe for me :mad: This sucks!!

Is there still talks of another tournament at Horseshoe in Summer 06'?

[Heath]

Summer--NO! Fall--Most Probably! Summer is the "Season" for the Dude Ranch end of Horseshoe Canyon.

[racerb491]

I have a 14 yr old going.

[Dustin_Watkins]

can u tell me what time the doulbes start and the long CTP :D

[jeffash]

can u tell me what time the doulbes start and the long CTP :D



Doubles will start whenver you want it to :D
Really!!!
The Friday Doubles format will allow teams to play whenver they want to, and as many times as they want to.
We'll have someone there, all day, to register your team. As long as you have another team, or two, or three..., to play with you'll get a scorecard and you can all take off.
After you turn in your scorecard you can register again and play another round.
Divisions and Cost ($10.00 or $15.00) is still negotiable.

The Long Distance CTP format is still in it's formative stages. It will probably run from 8am to 9am on Sunday Morning and will consist of a CTP contest running concurrently with a distance contest. The CTP basket may be as far as 600 feet away from the tee area, but reachable by players whose max distance may only be 250 feet. You may thank Sir Isaac Newton for inventing gravity. I've always wondered what people did before he invented gravity. :o:D:o

[LarryQuinones]

He didn't invent gravity, he just noticed it after staring at breasts.

[jeffash]

Larry is on the board!!! :D

[jeffash]

There will be a few autographed Ice Bowl discs available at the Silent Auction.

Whose autograph?

Aleksey "Boobs" Bubis

He may not be there in person, but he'll be there in spirit... :)

Maybe I should ask Heath to autograph some. I hear his autograph is becoming more and more valuable... :D

[jeffash]

We lost a page of posts on this thread :( :confused:

The teepee was rented by some Fayetteville disc golfers.

I can't remember what else you asked :o

[Billy_Ho]

Looks like I got the ok to go !!!!!! :cool:

[jeffash]

There goes any chance I may have had at winning Sunday's longest drive / CTP contest. :D

[racerb491]

One more week :D :D :D :D.

[AlmaWillie]

Hey, guys. This is treeshark. Looks like I'll get to go, Dad has to work that weekend. I just put in for a pdga membership, too, so treeshark will make his return soon. It had better get here quick, it'll give me something to do at school while the teacher makes long, uninteresting speeches. I'm so psyched for the ice bowl. Those trees don't know what they got comin'. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gifHORSESHOE, THY NAME IS TREESHARK!!!! :D:D:D

[superd]

theres plenty of trees out there so you better have plenty of discs :D:D

[accidentalROLLER]

[racerb491]

Sure glad I played in the snow showers we had yesterday. Seven people in all were out to play in it. It was cold but alot of fun. Too bad you missed it Bubis.

[ganzel]

Of course, Dave, I always bring an extra pair. One for soilin' when i drive through the gate......and a pair that never seems to make it through a whole round in one piece...Oh, she'll get ya, you guys from Tulsa may as well just drive in reverse on your way here, get used to that position early, maybe just maybe you'll be able to add up your score without going into shock, and it'll keep you from fallin' uphill. :D:D :o

[Heath]

Bunch of guys that work for me got the Tee-Pee!

[accidentalROLLER]

Who has extra floor space?

[racerb491]

I am so ready for horseshoe canyon :D. Three days and counting :D. It's going to be sweet.

[ganzel]

I'm bringin' a sled!!!!! :D

[jeffash]

Weather Update (http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/vacationplanner/detail/USAR0294?dayNum=4) :D

[TeeBirdPoop]

Darrell I was talking with Chris Pleis & Jeff G. We all agreed that the only way Blake can stay with us in the cabin. Is if he takes Gas-X on a 4 hour basis. LOL :confused:

[sschumacher]

Better not let him sleep too close to the fire place either. :D

[accidentalROLLER]

Who has extra floor space?


Barnaby "Pack Mule" Jones-Davis and I, Colin "accidentalROLLER/King_Donko_of_Punchstania/1_word_away_from_being_banned" Furrow Esquire Jr. Esquire need a place to stay for the Ice Bowl. Who has extra floor space? Last resort we will sleep out side in the snow I guess.
BTW, I will keep posting this til someone mans up.

[3902]

BOYS AND GIRLS,IT'S GONNA BE A COLD MO FO!!! Who's doin the outdoor grilling?I'll take mine Med Rare.Everybody else. Your sheott's gonna be cooked when I get you on that course. :DI'm bringin my custom cold climate plastic.(Warmers installed )It's a real special blend.I'd like to thank Crown Royal and Folgers for the support. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[superd]

right now i have 7 to 8 in the cabin. thats one on couch and one on the floor.

[racerb491]

Talked to Rick today, he is also looking for somewere to sleep.

You got your passward I see.

[LarryQuinones]

I will be there, camping on the fairway and grillin on a basket. Maybe I should make a big pot of beans so everyone who eats it gets the farts. That'll break up concentration on the teepad. I just hope my love machine doesn't get two flat tires...again.

[jeffash]

Here is a reminder...

Jeff-I figure I'll show up every time the triangle sounds!

[jeffash]

first time rentin cabin so i dont know where to get the keys. somebody help me out please :( it would be so nice, i'll give ya a dollar. :D



Are you the gatekeeper? :D

The Lodge is the place to get your key(s). If you plan on arriving late tonight, or tomorrow night, I'd suggest calling them and letting them know.
Anytime before 7-8pm there is usually someone there.
I know secrets if no one else is available... :)

[jeffash]

Blake and I will be eating breakfast bothdays in the lodge.
Both of us are eating the BBQ Sat night also.




I have submitted a preliminary estimate.
Thank you all for our input. :)

[LarryQuinones]

I am planning to go for the day Saturday, whoop everyone, and then drive back that evening. If any one else wants to ride with... call me. 313-3984

[ganzel]

[superd]

I have packed my sled... :D



i have always used old discs to go sleddin with, just plant your butt on one of them and slide. i've found that jaguars work the best for the big butts. :D

[jeffash]

Hey, Tom just told that joey got in a new shipment of discs!!! If you guys want anything, Tom can bring it to Horseshoe.....he just needs to know what to bring. Call me. ;)



Let's not forget that there will be Ice Bowl discs and merchandise for sale also...
All profits from the Ice Bowl merchandise sales go to the Christian Food Room. :)

[LouMoreno]

The 3 Austinites are on their way. Y'all be nice to 'em.
Jeff, Rob Hecht can eat as much as 3 normal people if that helps you figure how much you need to order. :D

[ganzel]

There will be icebowl goodies at Horseshoe?!!! Awesome!!! Thanks Jeff :D

[keldog]

I gave fish ALOT of :D:D:DTWISTED FLYER :D:Dstuff,just in case I didn't make it :mad:.Call me on Monday and WE'LL SEND IN A HELICOPTER,bring all your wood mini's for the fire.

Hopefully I'll make it to the Ice Bowl this year. Depends on the weather though. :( There's just to many mountains between me and Horseshoe for my truck to make it if the roads get slick.

[TeeBirdPoop]

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me directions to Horseshoe from Springdale. I'm heading out 412 East and that's about all I know. Any input would be great. Thanks

[racerb491]

It's Horseshoe canyon time :D. In the snow :D. It's going to be awsome :cool:.

[Melissa]

I won't be able to make it...can't wait to see some pictures...

[racerb491]

Thats too bad. Nothin like the canyon in the snow.

[jeffash]

This has nothing to do with disc golf-
(or, maybe it does)

Five minutes ago, as I was driving along the White River, I stopped by the side of the road and watched 9 female wild turkeys eat gravel from a gravel bar.
Now, I'm here in my classroom getting ready to teach for half a day and then leave for Horseshoe Canyon where I will get to experience nature at it's finest.
It's days like these that really make me appreciate life, and where I am living it.
Arggghhhhh... there goes the first bell.
:( :) :D

[AlmaWillie]

Hate to do it boys, but I am going to have to withdraw too. The weather already had me and the wife fighting over it, but then this morning she woke up running to the bathroom, sick as can be. (My whole family has been passing it around for a week now) Anyway, that of course shut us down for good.
I am so SORRY and SAD!!! Ya'll have to take pics and take care of my two juniors Chris Shelton and Dustin Watkins, as they are still planning on being there. Have a GREAT time and think of AlmaWillie and TreeShark at the first tee!!

Oh and by the way, this means there is one cabin opening up too. I'll call in around 9:30 or so.

[twoputtok]

Everyone have fun over there this weekend. Sorry I couldn't make it this time. This will be the first Canyon trip I have missed. I had not planned to go or rented a cabin and with the developing weather situation I may have let my cabin go any how.

I know it will be beautifull as always and Fish will put on a he11 of a feed Saturday night. His family is fantastic. :D

For all you boys in the Tee-Pee, better huddle together and make sure you have lots of wood.
I need to clarify that last statement, since you're from Arkansas and all that, "Lots of wood was ment for burning" :D

[jeffash]

We'll miss you Willie, Dave, and Keldog! :p ;)

Buck?
Is that youuuu??
;) :D

Now, let me see...I know the directions to Horseshoe Canyon are here somewhere.
Hmm... I wonder if I utilized the "Search" feature on this discussion board if I could find the directions.
Let's see...
I'll just type in "directions to horseshoe canyon" and see what happens.
As I'm waiting,, let me tell you what a valuable feature a search engine can be.
Oooops, no time- it's already done.
Here they are...

Directions to Horseshoe Canyon

1. US-412 East to AR-21 *Turn right just east of Marble
2. AR-21 to AR-43 "thru Kingston up the mountain and down into Boxley Valley" *Turn left and start heading towards Ponca
3. AR-43 to AR-74 * Turn right and start heading toward Jasper. Go Through Low Gap, and after 3 or 4 miles start looking for the sign (on the left) that notes the turn to the right that takes you into Horseshoe Canyon Ranch.
If you go past the entrance to Camp Orr you have gone too far. If you get to Jasper you really went too far...

[3902]

Pitch started running fever last night.I'm heading to see the Doc right now.Maybe a big shot of something will take care of it.I'm not bailing out just yet.If I do go I may just be a couch potato all weekend.Then again you guys don't want this stuff.

[racerb491]

Thats to bad. Maybe I can take that cabin off your hands.

I'm on my way to HORSESHOE :D. OH MY :D.

[sschumacher]

Sorry I couldn't make it this time. :(

Looks like someone else will have to wear the DFL crown this year. Anyone find one of the petrified dog logs I left in the woods last time is welcome to throw it on the fire to keep warm. At least I'll be there in spirit. :D

Have fun and you all be carefull sliding around on those slick Arky roads. I imagine the tow trucks charge extra for DG'ers who accidently go off-roading this time of year. ;)

[dasun]

I was wondering what time you are starting it up saturday morning and what the entry fee is, I am also bringing some stuff for the silent auction. I am coming down saturday morning so I hope I can make it! :D

[twoputtok]

Getting down the hill to the canyon will be easy, its the getting up the hill that might pose a problem. :D

[jeffash]

I was wondering what time you are starting it up saturday morning and what the entry fee is




FORMAT!!!
27 holes- 18 holes on the big course in the AM. 9 holes on a "hybrid" course in the PM

The entry fee will be $20.00 for Ams and $30.00 for Pros
That includes the $5.00 a day fee the Canyon charges to play.

[AlmaWillie]

I hope someone does get the cabin. They were not really wanting to let me out of this weekend, even though it says on their site it is OK. I wasn't even wanting my money back, I just wanted to move it to another weekend. Anyway, I got it done for March 3-5th if anyone wants to go then and we can play a few rounds.
Someone let me know please if you know that the cabin has been taken. I wuld feel much better about

[AlmaWillie]

From what I understand some beds in the barn just opened up too. The mom that was going to take my boys up decided against trying the trip with the weather that is coming in. I know she had at least three spots in the barn maybe four. So if you weren't going due to no room then there you go. My cabin is open and a few beds are now open in the barn. Here's a chance to go to IceBowl and have the fun that we are going to miss out on. If you read this and get one of these please let the lady know you heard it from me. I'm trying to finagle a way in at a later date up there, and they are not to happy with the pullout at the last minute. Which I can't blame her, but I feel like she'll rent them. Hope I'm right.

[keldog]

Someone go knock the snow and ice off the satelite and tell us who won doubles?

[AlmaWillie]

Well, the boys talked the mom into going on up there. They called this morning and from what I understand she is already regretting it. They have about 4-5 inches of snow (this is a guess from Chris saying it is up to his ankles), and they were wondering if it was bad enough here to get school out Tuesday. :D I think they are hoping for more days at the canyon! Oh well, they are there and they can play now.
I wish everyone there a fun time and a safe trip home.
Let us stuck at home know how it is going once in a while.

[keldog]

current temp 2 deg.,sounds like cracked plastic ;)

[superd]

Getting down the hill to the canyon will be easy, its the getting up the hill that might pose a problem. :D



they towed those of us that didnt have hummers up the hill. took a little car sleddin by hole nine :eek: luckly the chain was hooked to my car so no car ace this trip :D

[TeeBirdPoop]

All I can say is WOW!!! What a crazy yet fun freaking weekend. It was cold cold cold but after 2 or 3 good drives on hole 1 it wasn't too bad. Not real sure where all the standings were for the Sat tourney. Maybe someone will post them. For all of those that chickened out they missed an awesome weekend. See ya in a couple of weeks when the frostbite is gone from my big toe. LMAO :o

[racerb491]

Hope everyone got home safe. Seen alot of ice on the roads.

Was this a great weekend or what?

Must sleep now.

[Schoenhopper]

Did anyone survive? Nasty driving conditions, ICE, snow, freezing temps, and baskets next to cliffs sounded like a bit too much fun for most.

Who braved the Tee-pee in that winter wonderland? How much snow did you all get? How many players?

[AlmaWillie]

Someone tell me how my two juniors did, Chris and Dustin? Did they get out yesterday? I haven't been able to reach either of them so I was just curious.

[sschumacher]

Scores?....Stories?.....Bigfoot sightings?....... :cool:

What?....Is everyone still waiting in line to get towed up the hill? ;)

Where arth "THE"????? :D

[twoputtok]

If you weren't there, then you don't need to know. :o

Heck, you didn't even make it out to Mac Taylor yesterday, whats up with that?

Still waiting on 75 degrees and sun?
You need to get out to pump up that 820 rating. :D

[sschumacher]

Inquiring minds need to know. I hold a record DFL for last year which gives me the right to know if someone has beaten my record. :p

As far as Mac Taylor goes.....It's not my fault that your wife kicked you out in the snow and you had no other place to go... :o...Since your so good at shoveling snow, why don't you come over and shovel my drive way? :cool:

And I don't why you're bringin up my rating. I got a 9.99 cooking in the kitchen this weekend....:cool:....compared to the disqualification you probably got for early withdraw. :o

[twoputtok]

9.99?

Not bad but based on that score I know you were cooking for your self. :D
http://www.fit2eat.org.uk/images/booklet1.jpg

[sschumacher]

From what I understand, the last time you cooked a good meal for your woman in Arkansas she ended up eating out. :o/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

[twoputtok]

I would reply to that but I'm sure Lil Rhett is watching and I don't want to damage his innocence. :o

The canyon was awsome as always. We had 39 registered players, raised $1400.00 and played alot of DG.
Snowing and 12deg.at time of play. I got to play with Ash and two guys from TX. Fun round.
I think we were the last people out on Sunday arternoon. As 8 of us played the small course in the freezing drizzill, we watched two wheel drive vehicals line up the bottom of the hill and wait to get pulled out to the hwy. Once there your on your own :eek:.
As for us, we had 4wd and had no problem getting home. We did go out through Jasper into Harrison to the 412hwy. It added an hour to the ride but was less hilly and curvey.
As for the people in the tee pee. For some reason thay did'nt stay in it Sat. night.
The BBQ on sat night was great. Thanks Fish's parents.
Poker was played both nights.
Met some hardcore disc golfers(3 or 4 rounds of DG at the canyon, in the snow)
I met a 13yr old kid(Chris)from alma that lives and breaths DG. He's got game and is a putting machine.

It's too bad the weather kept alot of people away.

ICE BOWL...... NO WIMPS-----NO WHINERS

I salute the people that braved the elements and road conditions to come play in our true ice bowl at one of the best courses around. I hope all made it home safe.

I salute the people who new what they were in store for and still came out and played.

I would like to thank Fish, Jeff, Heath, Stacy for putting the hard work in and letting me and everyone else have a kick a** weekend.

For the ones that missed this weekend, all I can say is, YOU MISSED OUT.

[LarryQuinones]

I visited the TP Friday night and Jeff Gray, John, Cameron, Melissa, Adam, and a small, friendly dog were there, sitting around a campfire, or putting at hole 18's basket (inside the teepee) and having a great time...that is until around 3 a.m. when the fire got low. Jeff played reveille on his horn in the morning, but few heard it.
As far as scores, in the Open div., Heath took 1st, Denny and I tied for 2nd and Flyin G took third. The rest I can't remember.
I do remember that I had a hell of a time and it was an adventure in cross country disc golf. :D

Furthermore, a herd of goats wandered right up to the basket during the ring of fire. The Jeff yelled, "Somebody get a camera." So I got a shot of the goats just before Rob from Austin yelled "go" and we all threw and scared the herd off. Only in Arkansas. That picture has got to go on our website.

Hey Guys and Girls,
I am heading to Horseshoe this weekend asI had to miss last weekend for a sickness in the family. If anyone has a disc (or discs) they want me to look for let me know what it is and on what hole. I'll gladly return any I find that you identify or that has a name on it. It'll give my wife a reason to walk the course with me.

Also if anyone is just dying to go up there and can go Sunday night my cabin will be available. I rented it for 2 nights but can only go one this weekend. I can't get mumoney back or save it for another weekend so if you are free Monday and want to go I have already spent the money someone might as well use it.

Just post here, PM me or call 479-997-2192

That ain't how it works up there, willie. Horseshoe will rent the cabin again and collect twice. They did with me and Darrell last weekend. I found it rather confusing. Then again, if you are there and already picked up the key, then they can eat a horse manure pie.

I am looking for a Joshua Robertson I picked up his Star Teebird at Horseshoe, if anyone knows him or how to contact him please let me know.

479-997-2192 or PM me.
