2010 ICE BOWL NUMBERS ARE FINAL
The results are official, The Grand Valley Ice Bowl Committee donated over $4,690.00 in cash and in kind donations to Starlene & Andrew at the Western Slope Food Bank of the Rockies! This goes along with the 1,480 lbs of food delivered earlier in the week.
With the Food Banks buying power, every $1.00 = $ 5.00 of food. Yes... that's right! We generated over $2o,ooo dollars in retail donations! Way to go Guys & Gals...awesome job disc golfers!
Also mark down next years date of Feb. 12th 2011, the Saturday after the Super Bowl, for the 11th annual Ice Bowl. No wimps, no whiners.
Dave Lens and the GVDGC Board
It's that time of year again. It's time to help out the Western Slope Food Bank of the Rockies to feed those less fortunate.
In 2008 we raised $8,000 in cash and 1,500lbs in food goods for the Western Slope Food Bank of the Rockies.
Let's see if we can do it again this year. We were 6th in the nation, let's try to get into the top 5!
When: February 13th, 2010, 10am check in, 11:30 is the tee off. Get here at check in!
Where: Riverbend Disc Golf Park, Palisade, Colorado
Details and Registration can be found at Triple Play Records, 530 Main Street, Downtown Grand Junction.
Why: To raise food and money for the local food banks. People need this more than ever. Two divisions Pro and Am. Random draw doubles within each division.
The after party is very important this year and will be held at the Palisade Brewery.
A silent auction of some really great stuff will be there to help raise even more money for the Food Bank.
So please come to the after party and bid on some items.
See you there!

URGENT UPDATE ON 2010 GVDGC BAG TAGS
The good news is that the club handed out 43 tags, we had great turnout and enthusiastic support for our initial 2010 bag tag match. The bad news is that OUR club was unprepared and disorganized for the event.
WE did a poor job of accounting for the tags. Even though the club distributed 43 tags, we only received the cash due for 36 of them. Cash was not received for 7 "free" tags.
If you inadvertently forgot to pay, you can still make good and help us out!... Positive disc karma can still be obtained!
Please anonymously mail your $20.00 to: GVDGC P.O. Box 2074 Grand Jct. CO 81502
Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
GVDGC Treasurer
It's that time of year everyone! The 2010 Tags are in and we are going to have the first tag match of 2010 at Palisade on Jan. 23rd @ 11:30am.
Membership is $20.00.
Why join? Simple, this money is used to run disc golf related events in the valley and help up keep current courses and potentially get new courses in the Grand Valley.
So come on out and play, it'll be a blast.
See you out there! |

Doug passed away at his home on Monday, Aug 17th.
He will be remembered in the disc golf community for his enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to help out in any situation. He embraced the disc golf community with strong, open arms.
Doug was elected an officer of the Grand Valley Disc Golf Club last year. He helped me move baskets many times. He volunteered at all the course cleanups, using his truck to pull stumps and haul brush. He was an Ice Bowl leader, ran the weekly league, and played tournaments. It will be hard to replace his big heart and strong back…really hard.
Doug’s wife Corrina has requested that a memorial basket be placed on the course. GVDGC has ordered one, and we will be putting a new practice basket by the parking lot near hole 18. A dedication ceremony for all will be held sometime in September, we will announce the date at a later time.
Donations for the basket purchase can be mailed to the Grand Valley Disc Golf Club, PO Box 2074 • Grand Junction, CO 81502.
Jerry Smith
As club President and as a friend of Doug's, I'd like to say a few words as well. Doug will be extremely missed by our community of disc golfers. You could always count on Doug to help out with a tournament, and for charity events he was a fundraising animal. He was always happy to play a round of golf, always willing to help improve the courses in the valley, always learning and trying to improve, and most of all, out there to have fun. He helped out with tournaments in anyway he could and was always first to volunteer. If you never got to meet Doug or play a round with him, you truly missed out and a great person.
May you have peace Doug, wherever you are.

Hey all, Gateway Canyons is proud to announce they have a new 18 hole course.
Here is the e-mail I received from Luke:
I hope all is well! I am excited to announce that we have 18 "Playable" holes here in Gateway! The course is still fairly rough but it is really fun! I have attached the map and scorecard for you to pass on to the rest of the members. Take a look and I hope to see a few folks down here to try it out. Should make for good practice for the GV Open coming up. The course has roughed in tee areas and flags marking the center line to the holes and to the next tee. Comments and suggestions from players are welcome! We are working on signs and hope to have those soon.
Thanks for passing on the word!
Luke

GREAT JOB WESTERN SLOPE!
Because of you and the great citizens of the Western Slope, the 2009 Grand Valley Ice Bowl was a success. The Grand Valley Catholic Outreach received cash donations of $4046.00 and also received 900lbs of food.
You all should be proud, that you made a difference in the lives of those less fortunate and in need of some assistance and hope.
Thank you!
The Grand Valley Disc Golf Club. |

CDSA Board Meeting January 11, 2009 1:30pm Arvada City Hall, Police Dept. Entrance – Anne Campbell Conference Room
The Colorado Disc Sports Association is having it’s annual Board Meeting on January 11th, 2009 1:30pm, at the Arvada Police Department. We’ll be in the conference room immediately inside the building, which is right next to the parking lot of the Johnny Roberts Arvada course.
Matt James is running for President and we also have a new website, to help refresh the organization into a more modern and player friendly entity. There are a couple of board positions open and specialized volunteer opportunities that we need to fill. We are trying to make the CDSA bigger and better for everyone in the sport and we need your help.
The Board Meeting is open to everyone. You don’t have to be a touring pro or even play tournaments to help support the sport. Maybe you would like to run for a Board position, or just come and see what happens behind the scenes of disc golf. Please feel free to come and bring a friend.
Please email mattcdsa@gmail.com for more information |
