Join us at the Disc Golf Course at Tom Thomson park on Saturday, February 12, 2011 for the 2011 South River Ice Bowl where we’ll keep given’er in Dusan’s memory!
The Ice Bowl is a nationwide series of disc golf events that run through the month of February. From https://icebowlhq.com:
The first Ice Bowl was held January 18, 1987, when 34 intrepid disc golfers trundled through five inches of snow at Albert-Oakland Park in Columbia, Missouri. Two months later, in the inaugural issue of Disc Golf World News, we ran a brief story about the Ice Bowl, promising to promote a national “Ice Bowl Sunday” on the Sunday before the Super Bowl as a day of “disc golf solidarity” and “a remembrance that the disc golf season will return.” We suggested that it shouldn’t cost too much and that “you might want to make a pot of chili or build a fire.”
In the ensuing 24 years, Ice Bowl has not merely thrived, it has become synonymous with charity, fun, and community within the disc golf world. Like most visions, it has evolved. The idea of getting everyone to play on the same day was quickly abandoned, first to an Ice Bowl Weekend and finally to the Ice Bowl Corridor, which now is any weekend in January and February. At the first Ice Bowl, we prohibited wimps and it was a few years later that “whiners” were added to the no-fly list, thus completing the “No Wimps, No Whiners” tagline that is still with us.

Laurentian Ski Hill, Rotary Disc Golf Course
North Bay, Ontario
still a little bit of snow, but that should be gone by the end of the
week…YEAH!!! Please be advised that the ice near Holes 1-5 and 18 is
NOT safe to walk on these days, so keep your plastic dry.
Things are shaping up to present a great disc golf season, not just
here in South River, but a new disc golf community is emerging nearby.
Just 30-45 minutes south of us, in Huntsville, there’s is now a full
18 hole disc golf course complete with DGA-MachIII baskets now…awesome.
I hope to post course maps and info for this course in the future so
stay tuned, but in the meantime you can see what’s going on and find
out more about Huntsville here: https://www.discgolfontario.com/forum/viewboard.php?BoardID=40
This course is a ton of fun to play and is currently designed to help
introduce newer players to the game, but will give seasoned pros a fun
challenge too. It looks like the course is taking off! There were 2
aces (a hole-in-one) in two days this week alone and they may not be
done yet!
I have the honour of hitting the first ace ever on this course, #8
from the long tee off. So they are planning to have an organized
‘club’ with a weekly gathering on Sundays.
With South River Disc Golf Club Tuesdays set to begin May 19th,
there’s plenty of chances for golfers to get together and play in
northern Ontario. Come on out folks, lots of great golf to play…and
it’s only growing!
Here’s the address for the South River disc golf forums:

So, I’m off to the South River course soon…hopefully I’ll get my first
Algonquin Ace today! When I do, you’ll hear about it here : )
