Bellamy Park Ice Bowl Feb. 5th, 2011

True to its namesake, New Hampshire's first ever Ice Bowl met its 41 participants with snow, rain, sleet, and freezing rain!


Throw in 2-3 feet of snow, including over a foot falling just a few days previous, and you've got yourself, well... Disc Golf in the middle of winter New England!


Huge ups to first time Tournament Director Rob Feeney and all the peeps who helped out with the course and the event. A warm Clubhouse, healthy players packs (including a disc to every player) dope CTP prizes, nifty Winners Trophies, hot coffee and cider, and complementary lunch = just what the Dr. ordered.

Other TD's - the bar for clearing T-pads in the icy Tundra has been raised. Time to get yourself a FLAME THROWER... both effective and Wicked Cool! Can also be used for fighting crime.

In the open division Jim Bouffard got his groove on with 4 consecutive birdies (14,15,16,17) to take a two stroke lead over Tyler Cass after the first 18.


Jimbo continued the charge with back to back birdies to start round 2. After an early second round DNF by Cass, Josh Connell put some solid pressure on Bouffard shooting the hot round of the day with a 51. With dueces on 16 & 17, Connell managed to bring it within one. In the end Jimmy B kept it together on 18 and secured his first PDGA victory.

The AM I division also saw a nice second round comeback as Jason Toothaker outlasted fellow Mainer Brendan Johnson for the win

Bellamy Park's second ever Disc Golf tournament no doubt lived up to the ice bowl spirit of fun, community, and charity. Much thanks to the TD, volunteers, and all the sponsors.



The course has def come a long way in recent years and it's fantastic to see more New Hampshire Disc Golf action.
Looking forward to the 2011 NH NEFA 2x Event this Summer (06/26/2011)!!

Also of Note:
• $624 was raised for the New Hampshire Food Bank
• Advanced Master's, the only age protected division, was also the only division without a DNF.
