2010 Ice Bowl Results

A big thanks to everyone who came out to the 15th Annual Greater Rochester Ice Bowl!  This year, the charity disc golf event was held at the Parma Disc Golf Course. 

We had a total of 35 participants.  Alan Koons and Ryan Hand won the Open division, while Tim Johnson and Joe McGlinchy won the AM division.  Tony Inzana and John Alloco won most charitable (something new we did this year) for most donation of money/merchandise.

There was great generosity in the form of mulligans: $472 to be exact!  In total we collected $700 for the Parma Food Bank.

Please note that we still have a moderate amount of Ice Bowl discs leftover.  We would really love to donate more money to our charity so let us (or Ryan Hand) know if you're still interested in any Ice Bowl discs, you can also checkout this page of the forum to see what discs are still available.  Also, thanks to Gene & Pat for the pictures (click image above to view).

Club & Worlds Meeting Minutes

The minutes from our Club Meetings and 2011 Am Worlds Meetings will now be posted on this site!  The club meeting minutes page, and the worlds meeting minutes page have been separated into two pages, both of which can now be found under "News" in the navigation bar.

Cement Tee Pads @   Widener Park (formally Baker Park)

Widener Park disc golf course now has cement tee pads!  A huge thanks to the numerous people that came out both Friday and Saturday and helped make this project a success.  Click the image for the rest of the pictures!

We worked about 5 hours Friday night, putting the forms together, digging the tee boxes out, back filling around the forms, and some much needed bush trimming.  Saturday morning, a couple early-birds were at the course around 6am starting right back into back filling around the forms.  Around 7am the first cement truck pulled in, and by just a little after 11am the final tee box was finished.  After some lunch provided by the GRDGC, we worked for another couple hours moving some of the remaining dirt.  Also, a thanks to Pat Harris for taking pictures of both the work days.
