Palm Desert will be hosting an Ice Bowl event this Saturday, February 3rd.

Registration is from 8:30 to 9:30 and event begins at 10:00am. There is no pre-registration necessary, simply sign up when you arrive.

The cost is $10.00 per player with all profits benefiting the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission. All players will receive a disc with tournament entry. Additional donations are welcome.

This is Palm Desert's first tournament event. The main purpose is to introduce the sport of disc golf to the area as well as contribute to the Rescue Mission.

You can find course information and directions here. (http://www.pdga.com/course/courses_by_city.php?id=2477)

Hokey smoke; you can play the Course there 'til 10 pm!!

....to find the "Sand and Ice Bowl" flyer: Sand & Ice Bowl (http://pddgc.destroyideas.com/snibowl.htm)
...but, lacking printer [and it's nigh-close to eventime for snailmailage] one can just show up!!

The Palm Desert course is a fun 9-holer. It's good to see the locals putting on an event - especially one for charity! We'll try to get a few San Diego locals to go. Expect a few Rizbees!

Most definitely. You might even see the rare Rizbette. :eek:

Team Rizbee had a great time at the Sand and Ice Bowl today in Palm Desert! Of course, walking away with 2nd place (Gwillim) and 4th (Rizbee) always helps!

Thanks Chad for a great inaugural event! Good job PDDGC at filling the field! Thanks to Innova for some schweet schwag!

The Palm Desert Ice Bowl was very fun. With high temperatures in the 80's, sun screen was the only protection from the elements needed.

Thanks to Chad Dean and all the volunteers with the Palm Desert Disc Golf Club for hosting a successful event. I know there were quite a few first timers there. For only being 9-holes, the course was fun and surprisingly challenging.

There were several shower stations located in the park that people can use to cool down when it gets blazing hot. 120 degree highs are not out of the ordinary during the summer. Most of the locals usually play the course at night under the lights to avoid the high temperatures.

Yeah, props to Chad for running everything very smoothly. The ice bowl was great fun, and the course has good challenge for the space given. Definitely a fun event.

Agreed, good time was had by all. Thanks not only to Chad Dean and the Palm Desert Disc Golf Club crew for hosting a quality event, but also to the city of Palm Desert for its foresight and generosity in supporting disc golf and making it a part of its recreation program. The golf world in the Coachella Valley is now more than ball golf.

p.s. Ryan Gwillim can throw discs really far.

Ryan watches the Gomez instructional video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOwtuGQFXMU) in a mirror, so Gomez looks left-handed...

I can't throw far but CENT has Legendary distance. He is my mentor and I learn everything from him.

Long Live the PENNY!

I need a better pick of gomey, you got one laying around?

Yes...I have access to his myspace /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I already checked that, nothing good on there. The pic I'm using is from his myspace.

Maybe ChiaPat can help dig up some dirt...

This stuff is hilarious, but it should be moved to the appropriate threads - we're stomping all over the Palm Desert guys...

Yeah, you're right, let's get back to the original subject of the thread...Ryan Gwillim can throw REAL far!

Thanks for all of you who came out and played with us and supported the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission -- we raised $600.00 for the cause. It's nice to hear some feedback about the course from players outside the area. BTW, gwillim can throw "really" far, as I witnessed first hand because I carded with him on the final round. It was impressive to watch him and Weiscup go at it. Thanks for the support and we hope you all will come out to play again -- and bring your buddies!

Here is a link to the course website: http://www.pddgc.com/

We shall return!!! When do you hold monthlies? Pass that info along to the SoCal web site folks. You guys are off to a great start.

BTW, is the Soccer Park course available for play at night in the summer? We might be able to add it to the Tour de Rizbee itinerary this July. If so, we'd want to schedule a date so we can have local players come out to play with us and help us raise funds for charity!!!

Yeah,
Nothing's more fun than driving over those mountains on the windy roads at night.

We haven't organized monthlies yet -- we just have small local tourneys right now. Email Chad to get put on the email list for upcoming events: [email protected]

Yeah, the course is open at night during the summer -- let us know if you can make it part of your tour de Rizbee and we will set some kind of event up!

John,
Hey I had a great time playing with you and the other guys that last round too! I've seen you around before but didn't know who you are. Now I know, so I'll make sure to come say hi! Thanks again for opening your course up, it was a lot of fun!

I checked out yourguys' web sites -- good work! We should hook up sometime and put together a video. I have made a couple you can view on my youtube site. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Jonmx711

Let me know if/when you guys might want to do something like that? A few of us are going to Yucaipa this Saturday if you don't already have plans?
