Wow. What a fine day it was last Sunday for the 20th Annual Kansas City Ice Bowl. We counted 210 people who either played, helped, or supported the charitable cause. Our total for the Bishop Sullivan Center, so far, is $2,913. Below is a list of who attended or assisted with Ice Bowl. Feel free to note or call out any golfers you think should be on this list, but now have fallen into that dreaded “wimp” category for not showing up, or at least, buying a package. However, before we officially call them wimps, I want to offer them amnesty. For a mere $15, they can join the others on the list, and help us reach our goal of $3000. There are still some Ice Bowl discs available for these late payers. Of course, if some generous soul would like to donate the difference, that would be great.
Although the weather was more than just chilling…8° at 8 a.m., there was nothing but positive vibes around headquarters for the entire day. At the risk of omitting someone who played a part in making the event happen, I’m going to mention people who helped make this one of the best Ice Bowls ever.
On Saturday, Sean Gibson, Jeff Whorton, Paul Eklund, Matt Eklund, and Tim Becks chipped the course, and moved the pins. This not only protected the course, but made play more enjoyable. During the event, John Chapman, Rick Rothstein, Paul Eklund, and Dirk Hacker handled registration, while Jack Lowe and Mark Morales got the food and the chili contest going. Kelly Warren was there before 8 a.m., putting up plastic that helped block the wind and preparing some tasty and warming spiced cider. Several people helped with the scoring and getting the cards ready for the second round, including Dirk, Sean, John Chapman, and Kevin Corbett. Crazy John Brooks ran the CTP contest with minimal interference from Rick. Craig Walker listed all the bag tag buyers on a sheet of paper, which allowed John Chapman to distribute the 88 tags in an orderly manner. A special thank you goes to Andy Lewis for getting the tags done in record time, making the Ice Bowl distribution possible. Kevin Montgomery supervised the prize table for the CTP winners.
I do not have a list of everyone who brought chili, but the judges for the contest, who chose Jack Lowe as the winner were Tom Turner, Director of the Bishop Sullivan Center; Jackson County Legislator Scott Burnett; and KCFDC VP of KS Dirk Hacker. Jack won a nice stainless steel omelet pan that was donated, for the second year in a row, by TJ Ring. Several other people brought food to share. A big, big thanks to Lance Dwyer, who showed up early with a generator. This was a great thing as the generator we thought we had secured, was not available. Lance also brought a fire pit along with wood, which was a marvelous and popular addition.
Kevin Montgomery won the CTP contest and chose the office chair donated by Slim Jim Neal. Mike Dresser won the Skill Shot donated by the Solstice Doubles tournament. Jack Lowe won the Disc Golf World $50 gift certificate. Fourth place was a $20 Jazz gift certificate won by Lyn Warren, and donated by Remi Gibson. Boulevard provided some beer and Jack Lowe paid for the porta-potty. Builders Surplus, Tom Butler, and Debbie Spiers all made cash donations of at least $30 to the BSC.
The only really negative happening on the day was that Craig Walker, enroute to his tee Down Under, slipped on some ice, breaking two bones in his left leg. Before the paramedics arrived, our own Linda Arbeitman, a registered nurse, was on the scene, lending comfort and accurately diagnosing Craig’s breakage. The good news is that Craig, who will be recovering for about 8 weeks, did not have to have surgery. The KCFDC sent flowers to him to wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Below are the people who played, helped, and/or supported Ice Bowl 2007. Thanks to everyone for making our Ice Bowl a smashing success. If there are omissions, duplications, or misspellings please send a message to
