 Today I had the chance to visit Rend Lake to help assist with their annual Earth Day Celebration for local grade schoolers.
I discussed the aspects of what the game of disc golf covers, gave various demos of throwing styles, and let the grade schoolers have their chance to make some putts. With a little bit of coaching and encouragement I was able to get a few of them to make some good putts. Even the teachers took interest in the sport and joined in on the putting fun with a little encouragement from their students.
Overall it was a great oppurtunity to get the word out to the youth around the area on what is becoming a very popular sport around our area and hopefully as time progresses more popular down here.
So take a look at some of the pictures from the day and you never know you might actually see some of these kids on the local courses soon.

 The Amature Championships in Bowling Green, KY kicked off today and so far has been a blast. While Alex and Kevin are in a different pool then me and Gavin it allows us to get a good insight into how the courses play before we get there.
Here are some photos of first Ephram White Park and then Lover's Lane Park both great parks so far, Alex and Kevin also played Preston Miller Park but I will get photos of the on Sunday when my pool plays it.
The players party was packed with over 500 people lining up to get their player package discs, 5 in all from the likes of INNOVA, Discraft, DGA, Gateway, and Latitude 64!

Over the past weekend SI Disc Golf and the SIUC RSO held their first annual Ice Bowl. As the slogan states for all Ice Bowl, No Wimps, No Whiners!, and for good reason.
The tempratures were in the 20's when we showed up to get the event going but hardly got over freezing throughout the 2 rounds of play. The wind was the more difficult thing to deal with that day with winds gusting over 20mph and sustained winds of around 10mph.

Over the past weekend we held the Jason Strikes Back! tournament to help raise funds for Jason Rodhouse and his family. Jason is dealing with advanced cancer and every little bit of money that can be raised can help assist him and his family offset the high cost of medical bills, trips to the hospital, and the missing of work.
SIDiscGolf.com and the SIUC Disc Golf RSO thought what better way to help a family in need then throw a tournament, and what a great one it turned out to be. While we did not bring in the number of players or the number of sponsors we had hoped we still accomplished more then we could have imagined.
For all those involved in helping set this event up, get sponsors, etc thank you! For those of you that made it out or drove in, some all the way from Kentucky, thank you for coming. Everyone of you made the event a huge success. We were able to auction off all of the silent auction items which helped raise roughly $500 that will be sent directly to Jason's fund.

The 2008 Discraft Ace Race was held recently in Carbondale and was a complete success! This is the second hosting of the Ace Race by SIDiscGolf.com and looks to be an event that we will hold annually.
We had a total of 16 players participate in the event this year which is slightly less then last years turnout but was still a fun event none the less! We were glad to see some players show up that we have not seen all semester as well as some new faces. Even Shim's dad came down from Effingham to throw with us which was nice of him to make the trip.
The day was once again a beautiful sunny day but like last year the wind decided to kick up a little bit to make things interesting.
