Come and join us for the 9th Anchorage Ice Bowl on Saturday, March 11th at Westchester Lagoon. Check in begins at 9:45am and the Player’s Meeting will be at 10:30am sharp. Tee off at 11am sharp.

It’s been a little while since we had an Ice Bowl event in Anchorage but let’s get back to it – some early season disc golf and raising money for Bean’s Café and the essential services they provide to some of our neighbors in need.

This is an XC (Charity Endowment) event of the PDGA so participants will get points for playing but not ratings. Why no ratings? Because this is a shameless fundraising event, we will be playing with mulligans available for purchase, a dollar a piece, all of that extra money going to Bean’s. Throw a crappy drive? Geek a putt from 10 feet? Worry ye not – throw a mulligan. And feel good about yourself when you do so – all proceeds go to Bean’s: “It’s for the children!”

(Since it's a charity event the PDGA graciously doesn't require one to either be a member or pay a non-member fee, so come one and all.)

That means that you can possibly buy a win, tossing almost endlessly at hole 6 or 7 in pursuit of that elusive early season ace or just playing out the thought experiment, “Could I run a perfect round at the Goon if I had do-overs?” Your call, and your generosity will be appreciated.

The entry fee is $32 which gets you:
• A nice, brisk, walk in a lovely park.
• 18 holes of play: two loops of 9 holes at the Goon.
• A fine Innova GStar Charger driver with the Golden Sombrero 2023 Winter Series stamp (in gold of course). Be one of the first kids in town to have Innova’s newest distance driver. And... each player will get one of the swanky official logo Ice Bowl 2023 minis (see picture for examples).
• A chance to get together with disc golf friends for some early season golf and trash talking (the PDGA’s courtesy rules won’t exactly be enforced…).
• A chance at the soon-to-be coveted Anchorage Ice Bowl trophy, or (for the lesser mortals among us) a chance for some other sweet prizes in the raffle (mulligans double as raffle tickets). The TD brought too much plastic from SoCal so the raffle will be good. Mulligan usage/raffle bagging is encouraged.

Wear a Hawaiian shirt and get an extra mulligan/raffle ticket. The irony photographs well.

Additionally, Innova hooked us up with some sweet CFR discs: Halo Destroyers and Mako3s, Galatic XT Xeros, and Color Glow Champion Aviar X3s and T3s. Get yourself one (or two) and further bump up our contributions to Bean’s.

Many thanks to the Alaska Disc Golf Association, the Anchorage Parks & Recreation folks, Innova Champion Disc Golf, Disc Golf Values, DRYVE Disc Golf and all who have supported restoring an Anchorage Ice Bowl.
