(Rapid City) The 8th Annual Disc Golf Ice Bowl was held Saturday, January 31st, sponsored by Scheels All Sports. 48 warmly-dressed players teed off in 50 mph winds at 11:00 a.m. and competed in the annual fundraiser event. The turnout raised $1,000 to benefit Community Food Banks of South Dakota.
Official Ice Bowls are played at over 225 courses across the United States, Canada and Europe in January and February. Each event is encouraged to find a local charity to support, with an emphasis on fighting hunger. Last year’s events combined to raise over $260,000. Locally, the Rapid City Ice Bowl is hosted by the Black Hills Disc Golf Confederacy, and since 2002 has raised $5,265 for local charities.
In the Pro Division, Rapid City’s John Anderson led all players with a 49. The strong Advanced Amateur field was led by Ryan Smith of Spearfish, who carded a 50. Don Altmyer of Spearfish led the field of eight players in the Grandmasters division, the most ever in a local tournament, with a score of 50. Bruce O’Connell, tying John Anderson for the best score overall, took the Masters division carding a 49. A close contest in the Intermediate division found Dallas Horsley of Whitewood in first place with a 58; a one stroke lead over Nelson Horsley of Whitewood and Dylan Tracy of Gillette, WY. Brenda Bure of Hill City carded a 73 and claimed the Women’s title. Justin Hirchert led the Recreational division to win by one stroke with a 62. Caleb Larimer claimed the Junior division, carding a 68. Scott Caesar was also recognized for his efforts in collecting the most pledge donations, as he raised $110 in pledges for the Food Bank.
The next tournament in Rapid City will be the Gold Rush, hosted by the Black Hills Disc Golf Confederacy May 15 - 17. For more information on disc golf events in the area visit blackhillsdiscgolf.com.
