Time for a new thread! The old subject title was outdated.

For those of you that are interested in checking out what's been said and done in the past, the old thread covered 22 pages. Here's my attempt to link you there, http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Courses&Number=412436&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=22

The "NEW" High Country Disc Golf Course at Ashe Co. Park, in Jefferson, NC. is now listed on the PDGA Course Directory!

Here is the detailed version of the course description and directions..........

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE........

It just might be the highest course East of the Rockies? It promises to elevate your game up to 3200 ft.! Nestled in a beautiful country setting in the Scenic Appalachian Mountains, THE HIGH COUNTRY DISC GOLF COURSE at ASHE COUNTY PARK, in JEFFERSON, NC. boasts stunning long range views, lots of elevation changes, water hazards, OB's, and a good mixture of open and wooded holes. With the help of legendary course designer Harold Duvall and Innova Disc Golf, this course is no doubt going to become one of the BEST!
11 of the 18 future hole's are currently playable, but with AMATEUR and PRO tee's on each, it's still well worth the drive, and "putt". The whole course plays both extremely fun and very challenging! The course kiosk and sign's should make it easy to find your way around. Maps and scorecards will be available soon. Overall "roughed in" course completion date is scheduled to be as soon as humanly possible. *VOLUNTEER'S AND SPONSORS ARE NEEDED!
Ashe County Park information, www.ashecountygov.com/ParksandRec/index.htm (http://www.ashecountygov.com/ParksandRec/index.htm), or (336) 982-6185. Hours: Open year round, dawn to dusk. Other Features: restrooms, ball fields, play grounds, basketball, pavilions, picnic areas, fishing, hiking, horseshoes, volleyball, tennis, RC track, and more. Camping, hotels, and New River nearby! Be prepared for rapidly changing weather and windy conditions. For the local weather forecast, goto www.asheweather.com (http://www.asheweather.com)

DIRECTIONS TO THE PARK...............

**From Boone, NC: Travel East on Hwy. 421 (about 10 mins.) to Hwy 221 North. Turn Left onto Hwy. 221 North. **From Wilkesboro, NC: Travel West on Hwy 421 (about 25 mins.) to Hwy 221 North (just past Parkway). Turn right onto Hwy. 221 North.
Take Hwy. 221 North towards Jefferson, NC. for about 15-20 mins. Go straight thru first intersection w/ light (Hwy junction 221 and 163). Soon after, you will come to another intersection w/ light. *If you need to do any shopping, this is pretty much last call (Wal-Mart, food, etc.). Take a right, and get what makes you happy! If you're already happy, continue North on Hwy. 221 for a couple more miles to the next intersection w/ light. That should be Long St. Take a left onto Long St. It dead ends pretty quickly into S. Main St. (no sign). There should be a Dollar Mart gas station on your right. Take a right onto S. Main St. and go straight thru the next intersection w/ light (Yamaha dealer, Carolina Printing on corner's). Once you pass thru that intersection the road changes to N. Main St. Just keep on going for a couple more miles until you see the Ashe Co. Park Sign on your left. Take a left onto Ashe Park Rd. and follow to park. Turn left into park, follow road around till you find a parking area w/ the course kiosk and Hole #1 nearby. Enjoy! Drive Safely, Hwy. 421 is a notorious speed zone!

Please feel free to give me a call if you need more info., or if you'd like to help out in any way. Or make a suggestion, or just to play.

Hope to see you all down the fairway real soon!

You're welcome if that worked. Any snow yet

Back online but still out of touch! I'm glad I found this new thread. :)

What is the deal down there with you NC? Do you actually do doubles on Sunday or just play casual? I should already have the ace pool up to six by myself without competing.

The High Country DGC at Ashe Co. Park Winter schedule........

-Every Sunday, Tee time 1:30pm.
*note* this is my attempt to get people playing together in hopes to help develop the local scene. Format to be determined by number of players. I myself might not always be there, but if you are, lucky you! Enjoy! Weather permitting of course.

-next group workday Sunday, Dec. 17th. 10:30am! Hope to be installing some more basket's! A lot of brush removal. Some work, some play!

-group workday Sunday, Jan. 14th. 10:30am! All work, no play!

-group workday Sat., Feb. 3rd. 10:30am! All work, no play!

-6th Annual Hickory ICE BOWL, Saturday, Feb. 10th.

-1st. Annual High Country ICE BOWL, Saturday, Feb. 17th.

That's all I got at this point, and you should all know by now, that it could change, so stay posted by either this thread or the course kiosk.

What's the plan for the Ice Bowl. Format. Course 12 or 18. 1 round 2 rounds. Can driver or money. Hospitality. What r the perks except seeing Wendy.

Funny BS!

Still not really sure what the format is going to be for the 1st. Annual High Country Ice Bowl (?). It all depends on the circumstances (course completion, number of participants, weather, $, etc.).

What I'm presently leaning towards is.......

One, 9 hole, singles round from the short's to get things warmed up, $1 mulligan's before play, $2 mulligan's during play. Then, 18 hole's of random draw or arranged double's, no mulligan's. $15 entry get's you a ICE BOWL disc and a free shot(s)(?) at the "Freeze Your Throw Off" Charity Prize rally at the end, $10 entry without disc. $10 of each entry fee will go to Charity, in this case, A Partnership For Children. All mulligan money goes to the Charity as well. For the overall winner's (cumulative scores for both rounds), I'm trying to get donated some ski passes. Not sure if I'm going to be successful with that or not, and I also don't know how many winner's there will be. Maybe only the top 3 (?) Shouldn't really matter, because it's a Ice Bowl.

I'm really counting on donation's to make this event an entising one to participate in. There will be some ctp's out there, and maybe a chance at winning a practice basket if you hit an Ace. At the end of the day, everyone who participated will have a chance at winning several nice prizes at the "Freeze Your Throw Off" Charity rally. Basically, I'm hoping to set up several basket's within 150ft.(most likely) from the pavilon. From there take your pick at what CTP prize you wish to go for. 1 free throw, maybe more (?). After that it's going to cost you a $1 per throw. Sounds like it's getting expensive? I'm really hoping to make the prizes worth your few bucks. Again, all the proceeds go to charity!

Beyond that, I'm open for suggestions? Nothing has to be set in stone until Feb. 17th. Like I said, it all depends on the circumstance's.

No doubt, there will be some kind of after party somewhere to warm up and be jolly, and eat some charitiable chili (?).

Obviously, No polar plunge this year, due to liability and crazyness factors. Maybe next year.

If you'd like to donate something or participate in the 1st. Annual High Country ICE BOWL please let me know ASAP! The Partnership For Children does have a tax-deductable ID # if you would like it?

I'll have several donations some not disc golf related. Will talk to Ashevillians to persuade them to come. If you need extra baskets let me know in advance so I can get mine back from Dorkness. Should I bring a crock of MY AWARD WINNING CHILI. Will discuss your Bowl at NIGHT's HICKRAW MEETING AT THE NEW TAVERN AT 7:30.

Suggestion- Everyone must drive with opposite hand. Peace out Hippy and talk Wendy I said "HI".

Thanks BS! Are you in the Christmas spirit or what?

Should I bring a crock of MY AWARD WINNING CHILI.

That would be cool as long as it's not left over's from the week before. :D Orginally, I wanted to incooperate a chili cookoff, but seeing that most of the player's will be traveling, I thought it wouldn't be prudent, not at this juncture. But, feel free to if you'd like. :) Who's bringing the frito's?

Suggestion- Everyone must drive with opposite hand.

More like with glove's on! :D

Oh I planned on making a mess in your kitchen. I don't know about xmas spirit, I thought I was always like this.(Charity is what it's all abut) Will talk to the MAN about the Fritos.

Got the hookup on the Fritos. Assorted packs.

So I hear you also got the hook up on a very generous donation for the "New" High Country DGC. Thanks for wheeling and dealing with the boy's down in Hickory to make it happen.

Hickory's UFO Club (Glenn C. Hilton Memorial Park) has offered their support by donating $75! Every little bit helps! I plan to put that money towards a hole sponsorship, which in turn, goes toward the overall cost of building the course. How sweet it is!

Ashe Park has now been giving finanical support by several of our neighboring Western NC Disc Golf friends and even abroad........
1. Mel and Cara Jone's, $700 (2 hole sponsorships)
2. Tom Owens and The Gallery Woodworking Co., $350
3. Matt Dewhirst and Capercorn Construction, $350
4. The Powell Family, $350
5. Rick Rothstein and The Disc Golf World News, $350
www.discgolfworld.com (http://www.discgolfworld.com)
6. WNC DGC in Asheville, $350 www.wncdiscgolf.com (http://www.wncdiscgolf.com)
7. Yadkinville Disc Golf Club, $350
8. Dr. Pepper Bottling Company, $350
9. Hickory's UFO Club, $75

I can't thank you all enough! That leave's us with a deficit of $1,275 roughly. So, if you'd like to help out, and see your name on the list. We're asking $350 per hole sponsorship. Your sponsorship will be good for a 2 year period, and won't start until the competion of the course. It include's a small advertisement on the course kiosk board, on the designated hole tee sign, on the back of the scorecards, possibly on the basket, recognition by local new's media resource's through promoting future events, a free membership to the club once the local scene develops more and it get's established, and the best part might just be the bragging rights and karma throughout the duration of time.

What more can I say, other then you won't be sorry. And if you are, I'll give you your money back. Only 9 more hole's available, so get while you can! The future looks bright for disc golf in the High Country. Western NC rocs!

I know it's a ways, away, but the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

I'd like to offer you all the opportunity to name the upcoming Summer Annual High Country PDGA tournament?

There is no prize or royalities associated with this, I just thought I'd throw it out there for the fun of it.

Here are some of my nominee's.......... :)

1. The High Country Throw-down
2. The Cool Summer Mtn. Classic
3. The High Country Classic
4. The High Country Invitational
5. The High Country Summer Super Bowl
6. The High Country Challenge
7. The Summer Chill Challenge
8. The High Country Cool down Open
9. The High Country Beat the Heat Battle
10. Appalachian Hillbilly "Throw"down

Get the idea! So, let's hear them?

Or, if you like one of the one's I already came up with, go ahead and cast your vote?

It might be fun to judge a winning name at the High Country ICE BOWL, Feb. 17th, 2007.

Then again, this might just be a waste of time and the Park director might claim the fame. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Oh well, let's hear what you can come up with anyways?

Remember, the name of the course is, The High Country Disc Golf Course, and it's at Ashe County Park, in Jefferson, NC. It's also in the Appalachian Mtns. That may give you some idea's.

Did you guys know that Ashe County's #1 cash crop is Christmas trees?
Just one more reason to come up and play the "new" High Country DGC @ Ashe Co. Park, Jefferson, NC. :)

How about a tournament of the trees? Held on Thanksgiving weekend up here? Any conflicts? Winner's could get trees to take home, and we could play for world hungry or something like that (?)?

Big wheel keep on turnin! :)

YES, I did know that! If you have ever driven thru some backroads of Ashe and Grayson counties you can see the tree farms everywhere.

There is a conflict with a Thanksgiving tournament held in Chattanooga every year, but you probably wont be competing for the same players. I like the idea of winning a tree but lets make sure it is a LIVE tree and not hacked off.

How about the
Mt. Jefferson Morning Dew Open
High Country Cool Breeze Classic
New River Native Splash

How about the
Mt. Jefferson Morning Dew Open
High Country Cool Breeze Classic
New River Native Splash

Great idea's! Way to incooperate a few of the other special natural feature's of Ashe County!

I'm looking forward to hearing from some others?

End's up it was just a whole lot of BS! :D

Glad to see that this confusion has been cleared up. Now, we're really gonna know who dun it. ;)

Jockomo feena nay!

Gotta Thank the tremendous effort's by the Ashe Co. Park's and Rec. Director, Joe Boccardy, and Athletic's director, Daniel Quinn to see this course through.

They've already got someone building the frame's for concrete pad's for the long tee's. :) Unbelievable, and Super exciting!

Patience though, this will most likely be an ongoing project for quite some time. Here a pad, there a pad, soon everywhere a pad pad! :D

So, if you see any of the Park staff while in the Park, please be sure to say Thank You! ;)

Nice, we thank them next time I'm there or the first time. It was all Brent's fault.

Can I have Wendy as my GUIDE?

It's a non guided trip, only transportation and boats included, and an appt. will be necessary.

But, if it were a guided trip, No! I would put you with some girl that doesn't shave her pits, I hear you like it like that. :D

Leave her on the river long enough with me and you won't worry about the hair pits.

I don't have to worry about it.

If you think you got a better one, let's hear it?

Either cast your vote now, or be at the inaugural High Country ICE BOWL on Feb. 17th. for the final decision.

Course work day this Sunday, Jan. 14th.! 10:00am to ?

Weather permitting of course.

You missed a Good one this weekend. I kept the #1 tag. Brian and I won doubles for 90 then won both poker games. It was BS Domination. thanks to all the donators

I think I saw something about that on ESPN. :D

Good shootin!

It's now official! The inaugural High Country PDGA tournament is scheduled for July 14 and 15th weekend! Camping will be permitted, and Innova (Harold or Paul B) will be hosting the event. This one will fill up fast, and be a lot of fun, so stay tuned! :)

You take PayPal? Still any Grandmaster Am openings? We camping at your house of the park? Or on da river? So many questions.......... :eek:

I'll take your money anytime and anyway I can! :D

I hope all the division's will be represented. I do know of one Senior Grandmaster that might be playing, and I'm sure he'll be calling all his friends.

Your the BIG DOG though, you could be rocking the Adv. Master's div. ;) You got the hillbilly advantage! :D

Camping will be on site at the park. Saturday night live bluegrass! :) And, much, much more! :) :)

For you non-camper's, discount's on local hotel's will be available, but probably still very expensive.

Any more questions? Only seven month's to go before tee off! :D

Congrats on the new course!!

I'll do my best to attend the tournament. I love playing new courses!

You'll have to change your name first. :D :p

I have marked it on my calendar. Looking forward to another course up in that area.

When you have a sign of a MT Todd as your avatar, then we'll talk :D

WTFE dude, that is purely an unfortunate coincedence

Don't need a memorial sign to be recognized, I'm still alive and kickin it!

There's only one mountain range in NC, and I'm on it!

Westside NC baby! :cool:

Westside is where it's at? Will reg. at ICE BOWEL. Doesn't chili cookoff winner win free admission into July tourney?

Freddy informed me earlier that a little dusting occured today

Still snowing!

Nice! Might come up this weekend to board

It isn't supposed to last long.

Season's been weak thus far. I hear people are breaking their neck's out there not having enough snow.

Must be Global warming!

Better off playing Ashe Park! BP and I are going to attempt a 1 oclock tee time on Sat. Be my first drive in over a month.

Have fun with the BapSter but I'd rather be on a Mountain somewhere. Already getting burned out and the disc golf season hasn't started or finished yet.

I have a little "head's up" information for you all regarding the inugural High Country PDGA tournament (July 14, 15th), and places to stay!

This is kind of important because July is also the time of year everybody else wants to be here. So, place's to stay aren't going to be easy to come by if you're not prepared months ahead of time.

Your best and cheapest option is going to be camping at the park. Not sure what the deal is yet, but I can tell you that the park doesn't have shower's. Just really nice bathroom facilities, maybe a hose, and a chilly, but refreshing disc eating pond. Electricity and grills will also be available to camper's. But, if you can't handle all the FUN, then here is your other immediate option.

I've put on hold 15 room's at the overall best hotel within 5 mins. to the park, the Nation's INN. Since it is there busy season, they will only hold these room's until June 13th. The cost is $73 a night + taxes, for two people. You also get the continental breakfest with that. The Nation's INN # is (336) 246-2080.

Other then that, you're own your own. There are several really nice rental cabin's in the area, but they are going to cost you.

As far as food, resturant's, river's, Mtns., gas, view's, banks, wildlife, and other need's (Wal-mart), everything is within 5 mins. of the course.

I know it's early, but better to be safe then sorry!

How much for a spot on the BUS

Marking it on my calendar... .right next to MY BIRTHDAY

Ashe Park is a nice place to have a birthday! Should also be somes surprises there waiting for you. Hopefully good ones, like a fortunate roll, but it definitely won't be a piece of cake. :D Hope you can make it!

I just found out that the park WILL BE charging a small camping fee the weekend of the tourney, July 13,14, 15th. $5 per person, per day.

For those of you that may be able to make it a 3 day weekend. Maybe that Friday afternoon we can plan a group float down the river. Then follow it up with a round of double's that evening (?).

Still need to find a name for the tournament?

whats the deal on the Mountain disc golf experience this year?

Will it happen and if so where?

Wrong thread please refer question to James Nichols of Asheville at [email protected]

Now back to the topic.
A lazy float sounds good on a hott summers day. Might bring the kayak up.

Again how much for bus space

So you like the idea of floating/paddling on that Friday, OH KNOW :eek: it's the 13th! I'll make sure to tell one of the local's to fire up his chainsaw that night in the woods! :D,and have someone come out screaming bloody murder! :eek: :D Then again, it just might be Harold for real finishing the course up to his liking. :D


Again how much for bus space


Get your own room homo!

Sweet I'll stay at the house while ju rough it at the park. I'll take your room or any other. Thanks again.

Wrong thread please refer question to James Nichols of Asheville at [email protected]





Thanks for the info.

I think that was a personal attack and I'm not the one with girlie hair and a spinner.

I think there might be some floor space in the garage. :p

You'll get what you deserve wise apple.

That will work for me. I tend to do better when i sleep on hard ground eventhough I deserve the penthouse suite for all i contribute to this sport. Do you need anything for iCe BoWel

Enough BS. Let's indeed change the subject to something worth everyone's time.

The inaugural High Country ICE BOWL is on Feb. 17th!

Do you need anything for iCe BoWel

Just participant's with a good attitude and a lot of money.

For more details, go back a few pages.

Hey Todd gonna be out there sometime in the next 3 days and will give you a call.

Jack, You done hibernating?

You playing the ICE BOWL?

Might not be able to FOURpeat at Hickraw due to Buckhorn. So I will save my special chili for the High County Bowel

yeah i was in Raleigh for a month on break,got back last Sunday night, and I've been waiting for the snow to melt before I go out there. I will be at the Ice Bowl.

Yeah, Hole 9's fairway looks more like a ski slope. Should all melt soon.

Course work day this Sunday 10:00am to Charger's game (4:00pm).

Hey Todd I couldn't get a ride to my car so I couldn't make the work day. However I will be out there this week and would like to contribute. Let me know if you wanna meet me out there or just give me something to work on while I'm out there.

Jack, you need a bike.

Call me, and we'll WORK something out (on the course that is).

On Sunday, Randy, Tim, and I built some bleacher's by hole 9's short tee. :) Nothing fancy, but they serve their purpose. Other then that, just a few little things were accomplished. Alt. Hole 9 now tee's from below the playground.

Back to an old subject.

I'd still like to hear what some of you think regarding the name of the annual summer PDGA tournament to be held at the new High Country DGC.

Here are a few of the nominee's..............

1. The High Country Throw-down
2. The Cool Summer Mtn. Classic
3. The High Country Classic
4. The High Country Invitational
5. The High Country Summer Super Bowl
6. The High Country Challenge
7. The Summer Chill Challenge
8. The High Country Cool down Open
9. The High Country Beat the Heat Battle
10. Appalachian Hillbilly "Throw"down

11. Mt. Jefferson Morning Dew Open
12. High Country Cool Breeze Classic
13. New River Native Splash

14. High Country Blown Open
15. High Country huk Battle

16. The High Country Huk.

17. The Mountain DO IT TO IT!

If you think you got a better one, let's hear it?

Either cast your vote now, or be at the inaugural High Country ICE BOWL on Feb. 17th. for the final decision.


Here are a few other's that I thought of............

18.The High Country Come on Ya'll YEE HAW
19. The High Country YEE HAW
20. The High Country "Ching" Challenge
21. The High Country "Dollar's and Chains" Challenge
22. The High Country Hurl IT
23. The High Country Chain Hunt
24. Appalachian Open

The Blue Ridge Ramble

And I actually like the sound of The Appalachian Open too. :cool:

I can't believe i agree with RivERDung but 1 and 24 are good the rest suck. Sorry Oh and 11. Wake me up in

Getting cold outside! Snowing a little too. From what I hear old man winter's gonna hang around for awhile now. Hopefully, he'll go on vacation for the ICE BOWL FEB. 17th.

I also like
The High Country Throwdown
The Appalachian Open
but, I think
The High Country YEE HAW
The High Country "Dollar and Chains" Challenge
are pretty cool too!

I also like Jamie's idea using "Blue Ridge", but I like battle better then rumble. :p

Can only have ONE though, and I ain't down yet! YEE HAW!

Blue Ridge Battle is otay

Blue Ridge Huckfest Ho-Down

The Blue Ridge Rampage
The Blue Ridge Brawl

There's the spirit!

How about the High Country Harvest Bowl?

Why harvest in July? :o

The reason I didn't mention it eariler. Good name though.

How about
The High Country Big Airs Society Social?

Bet that wouldn't go to Bryant's head at all! :D

The High Country Big Airs Society Social?

TThe WesTT Jeff JAM

How about

The High Country Who's your daddy? :D

How about

The High Country Who's your daddy? :D


How about Horrible

Also Horrible

How bout, "The Scooby Doobie" or "The Scooby Doobie Do"?

Scooby Doobie Dumb :D

How about

The Appalachian Plastic Pow Wow?

Why don't you just go finish the course first. :mad:

How about
The Appalachian Invitational?

Why don't you just go finish the course first.


Comment's like that will keep you from getting invited. :p

Yeah, the Appalachian Invitational is a great name! :D:D:D

Don't let the hippie bully ya PP

Thanks for the support, now go fix your avatar.

Birdies for the birds Saturday......coming?

sorry headn east. You mean to tell me the Monkey juice isn't being spread. Mayb I can catch at least one of your 20 Ice Bowels. What about dubs for Park Rd. I'll play Am righty

We can play in the amateur division. I'm in.

at park road ? When ?

The Appalachian Invitational sounds good (as long as you plan to send out invites). If not it's back to App. Open.

Equally hard to believe I'm gonna jump on the BS train, but the West Jeff Jam, or West Jefferson's Jammin' are both really good.

Headed to the Cranberry Disc-o to hang baskets. :cool:

West JUff Jam works. Are all the baskets going to be hanging.

The BaTTle of The BS

Dubs is February 18th, Park Road Temp course, 10:30 tee, $20 per team, two rounds. Singles on Saturday, two rounds, singles (two rounds) Saturday the 17th, tee at 9:30, $25 per person.

Friday is Col. Bruce and the aquarium rescue unit at the Visulite, Moonshine still at the neighborhood theatre, or Dystonic at teh philosophers stone (next to my house so you can crawl home), and Col. and the unit play again at the Visulite Saturday night (Visulite also within walking distance, but it is too far to crawl).

Might have to do that. Is it the Real Unit with Jimmy and Jeff?
Still on Fri and Col. on Sat
I thought Park was Pro-Am and B4B divisional

Now back to Names

Jefferson Jubilee

lets compromise... Jefferson Jubilation Jam

It is pro-am, but you and I would classify as am-am which is legal. Jimmy and Jeff, as wsp is not touring at that time.

$25 tix in advance, $28 day of.

How bout "Boones Farm Festival" or "BFF"

25 are JU Sirius

It's the original ARU, so I think worth it.

Wrd

What's all this talk about playing in something other then the HIGH COUNTRY ICE BOWL on FEB. 17th. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

If you're not at the High Country ICE BOWL, then you're missing out on the chance at winning loads of great prize's, and a whole lot more fun!

That also might justify you not getting an invitation, if in fact, the tournament become's an invitational. :D

Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open, Sat. and Sun July 14th and 15th. Put this one on your calendars, as it is NOT AN INVITATIONAL. :cool:

Have FUN in Penn.! To bad you weren't cool enough to play in the High Country that same weekend. :cool:

The Appalachian Invitational sounds good (as long as you plan to send out invites). If not it's back to App. Open.

Equally hard to believe I'm gonna jump on the BS train, but the West Jeff Jam, or West Jefferson's Jammin' are both really good.

Headed to the Cranberry Disc-o to hang baskets. :cool:

Yeah.........that is what I am talkin bouTT.

I've made a few change's for the better! Here's what we're looking at for the.....

Basically the change's are, now there are No Muligans, and we will be playing by divisions the 1st. round.

Sure Muligan's can raise money, but they can also slow play down and plain and simple just suck. :D Plus, wouldn't you rather put your money towards a chance at winning one of the great prize's at the "The Freeze Your Throw Off Charity CTP Challenge"? :)

It's should be a lot of FUN, and well worth your generous donation's for the good cause! Hope to see you all there! :)

No Mullies then I'm not coming. That's very UN Ice Bowl

I never was one to follow what everybody else was or is doing. Maybe I should run for president? ;)

we don't need no stinking mulligans, i can lose without them.

Just found out that Charlotte's Ice bowl at Park Rd is also the same day as Ashe County's. Plus Col. Bruce and ARU are playn that night. Might be swayed into that now. Sorry Hippie

Lame /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :mad:

that def won't get me to ashe county

Naw BS, I think what Todd meant was an expression of sympathy for your bad wing. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Your loss, or should I say all those needy children that were counting on you to participate.

It's also kind of a bummer that you wouldn't bother to come out and show your support for the new course, and be apart of the historical moment disc golfen in the High Country.

No big deal, you got to do, what you got to do, and sometime's you just can't do everything.

THE HIGH COUNTRY ICE BOWL IS GOING TO BE MUCH COOLER THOUGH. That is a fact! :D :cool:

Hope you change your mind!

I know BS is just scared and doesn't want to be exposed sorry your gonna miss out

Don't know yet

Don't lie mon, ya know what you're going to do. I'm not begging you by any means :D, although it would be an honor to have the highest rated AM Bagger in NC. support the event. :D:D ;)

Don't forget all proceed's benefit Ashe Co. Partnership for Children! They help needy kid's!

Plus, you have the chance at winning a lot more then you will probably contribute. Bagger! :D :D /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The course need's support too! :)

Well currently surgery isn't needed but might if meds don't help so I'll continue to play but where is still up in the air. What love to support yours since it's new and I'll miss Hickraw. SO I MIGHT BE THERE

Good News! Live it up while you can! :)

Definitely not a good day to be playing disc golf in the High Country!

It's snowing cats and dogs out there! Winds 50mph+, and very, very cold!

Could this be what is to come of the High Country Inaugural ICE BOWL, Feb. 17th? :eek:

with that wind you might break the 350 barrier

I can do that lefty side arm.

Brad can too. :D

in a 50 mph HEADWIND or is that the tears of laughter going 350 from watchn my lefty SA. Don't forget the UUUUUH
Hippy couldn't get a Helium Balloon to go over 350

Gonna be a really nice day tomorrow (Saturday 1/27) to be playing some disc golf up in the mountains!
:)

Or doing winter weed eating to the wildflower patch in the foothills. See you in a couple weeks brother. :cool:

21 day's til the HIGH COUNTRY ICE BOWL! :)

I definitely wish i could take advantage of the warmer temps but i have a visitor :cool::mad:

Todd, I just got back, I'll be digging through my stuff and get back with you on Monday.

Hey Todd, what about just bumping up the date of your IB to today while conditions are for sure appropriate. I'm afraid a heat wave will roll in before the 17th. :D

I've been out of town happily avoiding all the cold weather. At least for a little while. Today is cold and snowy, and the forecast doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I have a Workday scheduled for this Saturday, 2/3, 10am. til ? Bundle up if you dare, I mean care. :D Really not much to do until the weather cooperate's and Harold make's some final decision's on the back 9. It is shaping up nicely though.

High Country Ice Bowl, Feb. 17th! :)

Went out there today, pond was frozen slippery snowy tee areas.
My roommate has never played before and he hit an ace on short hole 7. I was walking up to the basket after giving him simple instructions on how to throw a thumber and saw his thumber come in hard and stick. Pretty sweeet

Sweet, tell him I said sweet. I thought that hole was to easy. :D I'll add him to the Ashe Park Ace Club, what's his name? Only 2 member's presently, him and I. Mine from the short on Hole 2 was much cooler though! :D :)

Was the 8ft. Innova flag on Hole 2 still up, or did the wind's blow it away? It looks super cool! :) Any frozen over pond shot's?

High Country Ice Bowl only 2 week's away!!!!! Feb. 17th.!

I have more good news! We have another hole sponsor to be happy about. The Coyote Kitchen in Boone, in the strip mall next to Wal-Mart, is going to sponsor a hole. I believe that make's number 11 of 18! :)

We now have more hole sponsor's then we do holes. :D :( :o;) :cool:

That's saying a lot in a lot of different ways. :D:) If you want to sponsor a hole on this course, you better do it soon! I know of several people that could all of a sudden bum rush me. :D;)

I've got a disc for ya, pm me your address, I cant say for sure I'll be there with whats going on at work lately.

Camerelli,
Thanks for the CTP donation! I hope you can make it!

Inaugural High Country ICE BOWL, Sat. Feb. 17th!

Just a reminder...........Hickory's Ice Bowl is next Saturday, Feb. 10th. Be there before 10am. Canned good's for muligan's the first round. Chili cookoff to follow. :)

The pond had about 6" of ice on it today, and with temps. going down into the single digits tonight, it'll probably be like 8" by tomorrow. The park director was actually brave enough to walk across it, or should I say crazy enough.

If it weren't so darn cold outside, I'd have to say it would be a good time to practice your drive from Hole 3's long tee! :D I'm looking forward to it soon! Big ol skip off the ICE for an ACE! If that happens, shoot, I'll jump in! :D

Hope it's still FROZEN in two weeks for the inaugural High Country ICE BOWL! Sat., Feb. 17th! :) Lots of prizes to win, hope to see you all there for the good cause! :)

Headed to a CE meeting in Sanford today. Just picked up the present conditons in West Jeff as steady 44 mph "breeze" with gusts to 60+. heh, heh, heh...... Batten 'em down Todd. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

That is the story up here. If it isn't tied down, it's fair game. Last night my grill tried running away, but it didn't get far. Unfortunately, the only crap we get in our yard is other peoples trash. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I heard something really funny the other day.

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as "HILLBILLIES."

You must now refer to them as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS. :D:D

Someone that likes NC and VA must have thought of that. :D

Hickorys ICE BOWL this Saturday, 2/10 Benefiting the Salvation Army. Can goods for muligans first rd. $20 entry, gets you a disc.

My roommates name is Matt Rollins
Good luck at Hickory I will rep at Buckhorn
P.S. I lost a white Star Teebird long and left on hole 1

The High Country ICE BOWL is going to be way to cool! No doubt about that.

I just got word from Domino's Pizza that they will also contribute 10 pizzas. That means with Pizza Huts donation we will have 20 hopefully HOT pizza's to feast on inbetween rounds!

I also got downtown West Jefferson's local Coffee Shop, Bohemia, to donate some coffee that morning. So, get there early if you want a cup!

And, our newest course sponsor, The Coyote Kitchen in Boone, is going to donate a gift certificate and t-shirt as well.

Most likely the food and drinks will be offered as free to ICE BOWL participant's, but donations will be encouraged.

I will post all the ICE BOWL details again soon. If you have anything you'd like to contribute, the more the merrier. Just let me know?

Hope to see you all there! Only 8 days away! Sat., Feb. 17th!

Looking forward to it Todd. I'm even taking all the dog crates out of the Suburban, raising the back seat and putting the third seat back in for the Y'town crowd. BTW, right now Y's, it's Charlie, Eddie, JG, and Stank confirmed for the ride up. I can take three more. Holler. :cool::cool::cool:

swing by and pick me up

Swing by Hickraw and p/u the BiScuit. Check.

Not gonna be able to make your Chili Cookoff this weekend BS. Frannie is leaving for Raleigh tonight and won't be back until Sunday so I'm dog sitting and wood cutting for Posole Bowl. Y'all behave now. Ya hear. :cool::cool:

Will try to behave but I'll have alot of newbies to breakin this year. They will get the picture by the end of the first round. How about this group BS, Dickster, rANT Gal, and Nate Dawg from Cashville. Hope noone plans on playn within 4 holes of us. Preround festivities begin at mi casa starting at 8:49 Be There

With that foursome you might want to reserve a whole course. Or maybe just play guerrilla golf on a fire trail off the parkway. Be sure to conceal your beverages though. Those BRP rangers have zero tolerance of laughter and fun. Have a big un. See ya next Satiddy. :cool:

I forget, Todd, what's the format again? :confused:

Having Fun and CTPs

Looking forward to it Todd. I'm even taking all the dog crates out of the Suburban, raising the back seat and putting the third seat back in for the Y'town crowd. BTW, right now Y's, it's Charlie, Eddie, JG, and Stank confirmed for the ride up. I can take three more. Holler. :cool::cool::cool:

I'm talking about the High Country ICE BOWL next weekend, Jefferson, NC.! :) I'll explain how the "Freeze Your Throw Off" is going to work later, and some other stuff. :D

Best Hickory ICE BOWL EVER!

Here are some of the results I remember. Weather was fantastic! Something like 42 participants, raised over $500, and hundreds of canned goods, all benifiting the Salvation Army. Nice job Brent P.! Smooth as ICE! :)

Henry aced hole 6, his first throw of the day!
Todd Lions aced hole 15, representing the High C!
BS continues his winning streak of 4!
Lots of other good shots!

Chili was great! Ate so much it kicked my #$*&$! later. :D

Looking forward to doing it all again next Saturday up at the new HCDGC, in Jefferson, NC!

From what I hear it's going to be cold, NO WIMPS OR WHINERS! INAUGURAL HIGH COUNTRY ICE BOWL, SAT., FEB. 17th!

Todd, I will be hand delivering my donation this coming weekend :D

Thanks Camerelli, you're donation will be one of the CTPs during the first round.

I also got a few more donations that you all are going to like.

2 ball golf rounds (cart not included) from Jefferson Landing!
and
2 ski passes (good for this year or next) from Ski Beech Mtn.!

Charity CTP Prize Rally is now going to take place at the lunch break.

Weather forecast is calling for very nice ICE BOWL conditions. High in the low to mid 30's with snow showers (nothing to worry about). You can bet it'll be windy too! The Pond will be covered with ICE, but I learned the hard way on Sunday that it's not thick enough to walk on. :D

It's going be a lot of FUN! Hope to see you all there!
Inaugural High Country Ice Bowl, this Sat., Feb. 17th.!!

High Country ICE BOWL this Sat. Feb. 17th! Ashe Co. Park, Jefferson, NC.

For those of you that like to aim HIGH for ACES, INNOVA has very generously donated one of their Disc Catcher Sport Targets (retail value of $194.99) to anyone who finds the chains off the tee! :)

Just one of the many reasons to be there! :)

) to anyone who finds the chains off the tee! :)

:)


So all you have to do is hit chain off the tee, it doesn't have to stay. WOW

Come on now BS, you ought to know better than that. Of course it has to stick to be an ACE. Never heard of an ACE that didn't raddle some chains.

Just went by Jefferson Landing to pick up their donation of 1 round of "ball golf" for 2 people (cart not included). The total value is a whopping $142! :eek: :)

That's why I don't play ball golf very well. Have no excuse for my disc golf game. :D

The High Country ICE BOWL also made front page news in the Mountain Times this week!

Charlotte Ice Bowl this weekend

Charlotte Ice Bowl this weekend



Really? What's the weather supposed to be like down there? /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Not near as cool as it will be at the High Country ICE BOWL! :cool:

Saturday's forecast is looking very ICE BOWLY........
High in the low to mid 30's and a chance of a snow shower in the afternoon! Surprisingly the winds are only supposed to be 5 to 15 mph out of the SW. I'll have to see it to believe it. Or should I say feel it to believe it. :D

Mr Powell's bringing the sugar buzz for everyone. 50 brownies for the special occasion! Not that kind.

Gonna be a good time on the Ridge! Wait, that's Jamies line.

Just think we'll have this all the way to July for the REAL Tourney then back to the Ice Bowl it may never end.


I don't know, I was thinking about taking a year long vacation after the Ice Bowl. ;) Maybe actually playing some disc golf. :D:)

Yeah playing disc golf would be something new and fun :) much better than FREE labor for the MAN! Just aren't many golfers in thim thurr hills. :(

I will be making an appearance over the mtn. @ HCIB. I will bring some goodies to share, but you may need to have CTP's for each division on all 9 holes.

Ahhhh, you know me, par, Jager, par, Jager, bogey, Jager........ :D

Todd is there a "fast" way to Jefferson? Mapquest tells me 85 miles takes 2 hours???

BS, I'll bring the rum if you'll share the jager :D

Format is undecided ;)

I bet they just make it up when we get there :D

Hopefully they will have scorecards and assign holes, if not I know my group will shoot the course record.

Chief, give me a call, I sent you a PM.

is there a "fast" way to Jefferson? Mapquest tells me 85 miles takes 2 hours??



421N to 221N (the directions I already gave you) is the easiest way to go/explain. There is a faster way though. Personally, I like taking hwy. 16 from Wilksboro (the mountain way), I think it's a little faster if you know how to drive the mountains, or you don't get stuck behind someone from Florida.

From hwy. 16 you can either take hwy. 163 to West Jefferson and the junction of Hwy 221. From there follow the original directions (go right). Or, and I'm not sure about this one. You can stay on Hwy 16 until it deadends at Sheets bridge (New River). Take a left there and go a couple of miles (towards Jefferson). Once you pass the first traffic light look for Wade Bare Rd. on your right. Turn right and go until it dead ends (a couple more miles). Then take a left, and Ashe Park Rd. and the sign will be on your right after a short while. Follow Ashe Park Rd. to the park. I think that is it. I hope you find your way there! Call me if you have any problems. (336) 649-0888 cell

Spent about a half day out at the park setting things up for the big ol good time! :) Looking forward to it!

Oops! Sorry Camerelli, I thought you were Jamie for some reason.

I have no idea from your neck of the woods. Good Luck! Hope to see you there!

bet they just make it up when we get there

Hopefully they will have scorecards and assign holes



Is someone already whining? Or is that just a bad sense of humor. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Next year you can do it. ;)

Rollin', rollin', rollin', up them hills we're rollin', keep them disces rollin' Todd'vibes........ :cool:

Only praise, support and respect for my elders! :)

Lets have some fun in the snow. :eek:

All I've got to say is Best Ever!!! Perfect IB conditions - freezing as in ground frozen most of the day, tolerable winds, snow showers all day and snowing to beat the band during the awards ceremony. Thanks so much to Todd and Wendy for bringing disc golf to the high country. Awesome views, awesome course and only going to get better when you move into the woods. And did I hear you say over $800 collected for the kids?

When the weather warms up a bit, we needs to get de boats ta flotin'. Lots of pretty water between here and there. Y'all give each other a hug for all of us. :cool:

What a time! Was great to meet all Y'all, I had a blast. Next time I'll be staying the night cause the drive home SUCKED! The snow was fun to play in, but not to drive home in, took us 3+ hours. Hope everyone made it home OK. Thanks Todd and Wendy for a great time and for all your hard work putting this thing together. See you again sometime.

Had a great time up in those mountains. If you are planning on playing the tourney in July you might want to get up there and check it out first. They have some fast greens. I also can't wait for my River trip with Wendy. I can take her to Jefferson's finest with the $180 I won yesterday with an ace on #2.

First off, I want to Thank everyone who came out and braved the cold and snowy weather conditions to help support the High Country DGC and raise money for Ashe Co. Partnership for Children! Above and beyond my expectations. :) Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

It was a beautiful thing to see everyone having fun and enjoying the new HCDGC, and their are so many people to THANK because of that. Before I get to all the totals let me acknowledge all of the sponsors and contributors that helped make this event a positive experience!

Congratulations to all the winners, especially Jamie Arnold who made his way into the High Country History books as the Inaugural High Country ICE BOWL CHAMP! You deserve it brother! Good shootin! :)

I enjoyed ever minute of it! I think my most memoriable moment though was seeing everybody at the end of the day casting lines and anything else they could find out onto the frozen pond trying to retrieve theirs and other peoples discs. It looked more like a very strange trout derby. :D I wish had been able to get a picture, it was classic! ;)

Hope to be able to do it again next year, but of course, even better! Thank you all again! :)

$933.20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I shot 27 first nine.

Did anyone get my champ Leopard, it was off the dock about 45' to the left?

No but I got your name and license plate. Got some good footage too.
Good job Hippy on raising all that ca$h. Is the water warm enogh for Wendy yet?

I shot 27 first nine.

In deed you did. Nice Shootin!

Did anyone get my champ Leopard, it was off the dock about 45' to the left?

Not sure, didn't hear anything about it. I did however hear Dan the Man say there was one or two that wouldn't budge free. If it comes up, I'll let you know.

BS, you're really not funny. But since your #$*&$! I can laugh about it.

Are you sure about that Todd. I thought that was a rumor started by Greg Louganis. Oh, wait a minute. I see..... Sorry, BS, you're on your own. :D

....Jamie Arnold..... Good shootin! :)





Thanks man. And as much as I enjoyed it, none of it would have been possible without your sweat equity and Wendy's patience with same. Honestly though the highlight of the day for me was being able to retrieve my trusty Dr Dyed Champ Cobra Ace Disc off the ice before we ever started the first round. :cool: And the tall, slender dude that recovered my Tim McNeill mini was a definite high point as well. Who was that masked man?

Very, very good job all the way around Todd!!! Catch y'all sometime after ice-out. :D

And the tall, slender dude that recovered my Tim McNeill mini was a definite high point as well. Who was that masked man?


Could it of been Jeremy? Or maybe James Miller from Asheville? Hummm? :confused:

I do know that we raised $933.20 for a good charity though! :)

Don't know. Was wearing a kind of medium tone grey/brown fleece jacket and a toboggan and could huk a disc about a quarter mile, straddle putter. Sure was tickled to get that mini back. Thanks Lone Ranger! :)

I don't know his name, but before the round started I was talking with him and he told me that he had lost a $5 bill out on the course warming up. Being the optimist I am /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif,I laughed and told him he'd never get that back, he'd have a better chance if it were a disc. Well, lo and behold, I find a $5 bill on the way to my first hole. I know what you're thinking...but I did give it back :D

:D;) :) That was Jeremy Koling. Young gun from Charlotte.

Just wanted to pass along the new Hickory DGC (UFO CLUB) website. Check it out! www.hickorydiscgolf.com (http://www.hickorydiscgolf.com)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we decided on "The High Country Throwdown" to be the official name of the annual PDGA tournament to be held this summer, July 14,15th.

Thanks for all the creative suggustions. We're gonna save "The Appalachian Open" for when Boone has a course.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you haven't heard by now, the new High Country DGC, in Jefferson, NC. is shaping up nicely. It plays both extremely FUN and Challenging! Nestled in the beautiful scenic Appalachian Mtns. this new stop on the PDGA Summer Tour is going to be quite a treat to beat the effects of global warming.

Here are a few "notes of interest" to look forward too.

Harold Duvall will most likely be the Tournament director for this event.

Camping will be permitted at the park for a $5 charge per person, per night. There are no showers at the park, but it does offer really nice bathroom facilities, most likely a hose, and a chilly, but very refreshing disc eating pond! Electricity and grills are also available. Live Bluegrass on Sat. night!

It you can't handle all that FUN, and you'd like to rest your bones in a hotel room, you are going to want to take action ASAP. The summer months are considered to be our busiest time of the year, so finding a place to stay won't be an easy task if you don't make your plans months in advance.

I've put on hold 15 rooms at the overall best hotel within 5 mins. to the park, the Nations INN. Again, since it is there busy season, they will only hold these rooms until June 13th. The cost is $73 a night + taxes, for two people. You also get the bla continental breakfest with that. The Nations INN # is (336) 246-2080. *Please let them know you are a disc golfer.

Other then that, you're own your own. There are several really nice rental cabins in the area, but they are going to cost you. If you have friends in Boone, your drive time is approx. 30 mins. away.

As far as food, resturants, rivers, Mtns., gas, views, banks, wildlife, and other needs (Wal-mart), everything is within 5 mins. of the course. We may even have lunch catered each day (?).

For those of you that may be able to make a 3 day weekend out of it. Maybe that Friday afternoon we can plan a group float down the river. Then follow it up with a round of doubles that evening (?).

This tournament should be a lot of FUN, and fill up very fast, so stay tuned for early reg. info.

Also, No Dogs will be allowed. Sorry!

Hope to see all your smilin faces there!

Please feel free to give me a call, or email if you have any questions.

Thursday evening doubles has officially tee'd off in the High Country! :)

8 people this week 4-12 played;
Todd L., Todd R., Randy S., Tim, Ben W., Matt B, Daniel Q., and myself.
Weather conditions; Mostly sunny, cold, and super Windy! 20-40 mph. gusts!

Front 9 consisted of 1-7 short, then Alt. 8 and 9.
Back 9 consisted of 1-7 long, then short 8 and 9.

Randy and I had a two shot lead going into hole 7 long (with only 2 holes left). We bogied, they par'd, we par'd, they birdied. We had ourselves a THROWDOWN on the mountain going into hole 9! :eek: We both managed to get our drives across the road, but the Eagle op wasn't looking good. But wait! Todd L. pulls out his gun and fires it 70-80 ft. into the basket for the Eagle and win! Un-freakin-believable!

Scores
Todd L and Todd R -8 $12 each
Todd and Randy -7 $4 each
Ben W. and Daniel +1
Matt B and Tim +3

Looking forward to doing it again next week! And, seeing what Harold's going to come up with for the back 9! ;)

The cost is $350 per hole for an extended 2 yr. term. The term won't begin until the course is completed and tee signs are up. I hope to send out a notice at the start of the 2 yr. term. As a course sponsor you will receive a small advertisement with your name and/or business on the holes tee sign, on the back of the scorecards, on the course kiosk board, and recognition from local media resources whenever possible. You will also become an honorary member of the High Country Disc Golf Club. Although, if you want a club logo disc, you will need to pay for it. Please make check out to Innova disc golf and send it to me, along with some of your business cards, and hole requests.
