    Our 1st Ice Bowl was great. Although we didn’t set any national records, we did do better than we expected! Thanks to all the great disc golfers who drove up and supported us!
    Thanks for making it possible for us to do this event!

    i am excited to play in my first ever tournament and glad to see how the money will be spent. I am not disappointed to tell you that our Ice Bowl here in San Antonio will be played with zero snow and almost 80 degrees. : )
