WhoHoo! It's gonna be cold. I'm going out on alimb here, but I think this may have a chance at being the coldest Ice Bowl in Fayetteville history. Saturday forcast shows a HIGH of 9, and a low of 0. Yummy!

I'm inviting some Ultimate players out. Will we need to get three of them for them to have their own Super-Class Division, or are we gonna make 'em play with real discs:)

[twoputtok]

I know several from Tulsa were planning on coming over but with that forecast you may have some stay home.

I have information from one of "THE" Td's:

Registration will run from 8-9:30 am.
Players meeting will be at 9:31 am.
Tee-off will be at 9:45 am.

The NWA Food Bank will be the beneficiary of the Northshore Ice Bowl.

Mulligans will be available for purchase.

Entries to be determined shortly:)

It is gonna be cold...NO WHIMPS, NO WHINERS! Please don't cry either, you lids may freeze shut.

[Heath]

I'm guessing $20-25 at the top end, possibly/probably less toward the lower end.

[twoputtok]

Doesn't matter, I'm still planning on being there.

[evandmckee]

Plan on getting some mulligans and get in the ace pot, hole 15 will be set-up in a very aceable position, this hole is already short...lefty or righty shot...thing is there's gonna be 4 baskets set-up in a "clustered Y" configuration, you may finish the hole on any of these baskets - this will present a much larger target for the ace :)

[evandmckee]

Jeff wanted me to pass on the info that their will be a players pack, choice of Ice Bowl Disc or Towel, there will also be Trophies for the division champions

Also, everybody that plays in all 3 of our Arkansas Ice Bowls will be entered in a special drawing at Horseshoe Canyon, winner will get to light the Fireworks for Saturday night and a special merchandise package :)

those events are:

Northshore Ice Bowl on Jan. 9th
Ft. Smith Ice Bowl on Feb. 6th
Horseshoe Canyon Ice Bowl on Feb. 27th

[DoughDuff]

Screw the plastic, the towel won't keep us warm either...we want some of that homemade fresh from the still antifreeze....:D

[TeeBirdPoop]

MMM sounds like a North Pole Ice Bowl!

[TeeBirdPoop]

I will be there with my 3 layers of clothes and my nice warm bottle of Hot Cocoa....well it won't be cocoa but you get the picture.

[jeffash]

Registration will begin at 8am and will end at 9:30am.
Entry fee for all Amateur divisions will be $20.00. Pro entry fees are $25.00. All players will receive an Ice Bowl towel, or an Ice Bowl Disc. A donation of $5.00 will be made to the NWA Food Bank from each player’s entry fee.
Mulligans will be available and all of the proceeds from the sale of Mulligan’s will be donated to the NWA Food Bank. You may purchase up 36 Mulligan’s but can only use one (1) per hole. Use it, or lose it.
Mulligans will be sold in sets of 9 at the cost of $5.00 per set. The cost for all 36 Mulligan’s (4 sets) would be $20.00. The majority of our donation to the NWA Food Bank will come from the sale of Mulligan’s. Please help out by buying them.
There will also be the opportunity to enter the “Ace Pot” for the cost of only $3.00 each. The Ace Pot has already been seeded with a $100.00 donation and we’ll add the player’s contributions to that. You must pay your $3.00 to be eligible. Multiple aces mean a split pot. No aces means the whole pot goes to the NWA Food Bank.
Hole 15 will be truly unique. 4 baskets in a “Y” pattern- and you can hole out on, or ace, any one of them.
After the 9:30am Players Meeting the first round scorecards and hole assignments will be distributed.
The first round will start at 10am.
Due to the frigid temperatures lunch will not be provided. There are over 20 restaurants within a mile of Northshore and you will have 80 minutes to get there, and back, from the one you choose.
The second round will start at 2:00pm (estimated). Awards will follow immediately afterwards.

[evandmckee]

heck yeah, Wimps or Whiners won't even be able to operate in these conditions :D

[DoughDuff]

Oh...I'll still be able to operate!

[evandmckee]

Just bring them dollars Duff, we'll need some Casino action to keep warm :p

[jeffash]

In a proactive attempt to alleviate the possibility that any participant, or prospective participant, may feel compelled to “whine” about the distance they will have to walk to get from their warm, toasty, automobile to the pavilion at Northshore- fear not, as we are going to be setting up “Tournament Central” adjacent to tee #1 and the parking lot.

I am going to offer players that have registered the opportunity to start their first round any time after 8am if they have a card of 3 or 4 players and want to do so. This will increase speed of play, and avoid a possible long, cold, wait for the “official” start time of 10am. I will group all first round scores after they have been turned in and we will still start the 2nd round at 2pm.

There will be media coverage tomorrow so wear your collared long johns...

[Heath]

By gosh it almost feels balmy out there this morning. Almost being the highly questionable word. It's ICE BOWL time! Layer up and throw out ALL of your white discs,or not. Hope to see you @ Northshore in just a little while.

[BobHarris]

Bravo to Jeff Ash and Darrell Bailey for running such a fine event!
With the Tulsa Crew and the Northshore regulars showing, I had a blast.
Followed the lead card during the 2nd round and witnessed a very fine aerial display.

[TeeBirdPoop]

Yes, had a nice frigid time. I got the feeling back in my toes about an hour ago. Good pictures Bob! I finally won a 1st place advanced tournament! Wow!

[BobHarris]

Is that Duff, the masked man?

[twoputtok]

Thank you Darrell and Jeff. What great day it was. I was dressed for it so i had no problems with being cold. I'm glad so many from Tulsa came over. Remember to let us know when you do concrete, we owe you a favor. First time I have ever walked on Lake Fayetteville. What a fanastic day for golf.

we raised $1000.01

[Heath]

Thank you to everyone that attended, special thanks to the Tulsa Crew for making the trek over in the frigid temps toagain show tremendous support for Northshore. Thankfully we managed to out number you guys, BARELY. Great job by Darrell Bailey and Jeff Ash for organizng this event and bringing off without a hitch, as always great Trophies by Evan and Trophies Unlimited.

Hopefully I can get some folks to come over to Tulsa with me for the Grand-Daddy of Tulsa Ice Bowls.

[Heath]

Thanks for posting all of the info Bob. U R da' Man!

[MattScott]

Paul shot a 43 and a 45?!?!?!?! was this an ACE race set up!?!?!

[MattScott]

ps

Way to play your div Buck

[twoputtok]

Paul shot a 43 and a 45?!?!?!?! was this an ACE race set up!?!?!

No, thats just how we do it in Oklahoma, we don't know any other way.;)
Oklahomans make more money out of Texas and Arkansas than they do here.

[evandmckee]

Even with mulligans, there were some hot scores, the city severely trimmed the big cedars and that crazy tree by the pin on 9, that had to of affect the SSA by a stroke or 2 but the weather and footing was intense

So cold that I had a Champion Roc split in half from a tree hit :eek:




Huge thanks to everyone that had anything to do with this event

makes me remember what disc golf is all about :D

Everyone that attended this, plus the helpers, TD and the few people that donated the entry but didn't play that also plays the Ft. Smith and Horseshoe Ice Bowls will be entered in a special drawing for prizes and the opportunity to light the fireworks Sat. night at the Canyon :)

[DoughDuff]

Thanks Darrell, Jeff and all that helped with this event and gave us a reason to come over and see some old friends, I mean cold friends!! great jobs guys! They did remove a few too many trees and shrubs in my opnion but before you put in those pads maybe relocating a few baskets could help with what is now missing. Now who is going to get me a copy of that newspaper (please)

[jeffash]

I want to thank the players that attended the 2010 North Shore Ice Bowl, as well as those that contributed their time and money to make the event a success.
I also want to express my gratitude for the relationship we have with our friends from Oklahoma and my appreciation for those from NWA that have helped to foster and nurture that relationship. The day would have been very different if y'all hadn't made the effort.
I turned over the cash donation of $1000.01 to Lana Harris of the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, and have faxed the receipt to Ice Bowl HQ in KCMO. With only 22 players, we averaged a donation of $45.45 per player. The average donation, per player, for the 190 reporting Ice bowls in 2009 was $28.17. We had a generous group of players and some great sponsors.
This year's sponsors were the Northwest Arkansas Disc Golf Association, The Western Arkansas Disc Golf Association (WAFDA), The Tulsa Disc Sports Association, Trophies Unlimited, Marvin's IGA on North College, Massage Envy, The Sara and Maya Whitely College Fund, The Duff's, Bob Harris, Larry "Where's the Flyer?" Quinones, and Sam Dodd.
I hope that everyone appreciates the efforts of our State Coordinator, Evan McKee, as much as I do. His support and assistance, once again, proved to be invaluable.
This event would not have happened were it not for Darrell Bailey. Because of the Horseshoe Canyon Ice Bowl we hold at the end of each February, we haven't had an Ice Bowl in Fayetteville for the past several years. Our donations of over $10,000.00 from the Horseshoe Canyon Ice Bowls have gone to a very deserving charity and have a tremendous impact- in Newton County. It was Darrell's idea to schedule an Ice Bowl that would benefit the residents of Washington and Benton Counties. The seeds that Darrell planted this year are going to produce a lot of fruit in the years to come.
That is why I am pleased to announce that Darrell Bailey has agreed to be the TD for the 2011 North Shore Ice Bowl that will be held on January 8, 2011, on the concrete teepads of Lake Fayetteville. The Northwest Arkansas Food Bank will, again, be our charity.
Many thanks to all of you who supported this event. We received some great media coverage on TV and in the papers!

Forgot about mulligans. gotcha

[Heath]

Jeff,

The Whitley girls college fund does what it can. However, Sara wanted to help you with your spelling. She noticed that you thought Myah was spelled Maya, she quickly informed me that it is spelled "m-y-a-h". Then spell checker that she is, I was informed that we spell our last name "w-h-i-t-l-e-y". Not real sure this learning to read thing is such a good thing:) I'm amazed how often someone that can't read is still able to correct my spelling.
