The tournament schedule now has club events listed for the next few months. In march, we will be having the Club Kick-Off. This event will mark the beginning of the WDGC season and will begin our membership drive. See the tournament schedule for more details.

Next will be the First Annual Boy Scout Open. This will be the firstPDGA sanctioned (C-Tier) event at the new Eagle Scout DGC at Camp Collum. Amateurs will play on Saturday and Pros will play on Sunday. This is going to be the club's biggest annual event, so please register early! For more info, see the tournament schedule.

Then in May, we will have Memorial Day Doubles. And in June, we are going to be doing Firefly Glow Golf at Ross Hills! We hope to have at least one special event every calendar month all summer long, so for all of the information on these and other events, be sure to check in on the tournament schedule regularly!

We are also beginning to plan on beginning he weekly leagues. Be sure to check the league schedule for more details.

We have officially begun this year's membership drive! Be sure to sign up ASAP. Membership helps grow the sport locally and gives members nice benefits. See the membership page for more details. Note, however, that if you are playing the Club Kick-Off event, then your membership dues are included in your tournament registration!

The web site now has a message board and a photo gallery. Be sure to sign up and have a look around! I will continue to update and expand the new web site as we go on through Spring and into Summer.

The 1st Annual Wabash Ice Bowl was a big sucess! Our goal was to raise $400.00 and 40 cans of food for the Food Finders Food Bank. Instead, we managed to raise $500.00 and over 50 cans of food! Well done, WDGC. We will be making a formal visit to turn in the funds and food sometime this week and will hopefully have a photo to post after then.

Not only did we manage to help feed families in need, we also were able to generate some very positive PR. The Journal & Courier ran a story on us in the Sunday, January 31st edition! We were on the front page of the local section. In case you didn't see the story, here is a link to an online version. There is also a photo gallery on the JC website which you can see here. Also, here are some stats (for those of you who enjoy such things):

• Am division winner: Jerry J. (51)
• Pro Division winner: Jeremy J. (50)
• Most Mulligans purchased by a single player: Jeremy J. buying 18
• Total Mulligans sold: 84
• Total players: 14
• Winner of CTP on hole 2: Jeremy J.
• Winner of CTP on hole 18: Mike L.
• Special thanks to Clay Finney and the Lafayette Parks Dept for the donation of two season passes to the Local Swimming facitilities.
• Also, big thanks to my wife, Dr. Kazumi Chino, for the donation of all the merchandise and food for this event.
• Thanks also to Jeremy J and Mike L for helping arrange and organize this event.

I should make a brief apology to everyone who was expecting this Ice Bowl update earlier. I have been very sick the last week and I am still on the mend.

Also, I should note that I still have a small selection of Ice Bowl merchandise available for sale. I will gladly provide a list of what is available to anyone who asks. Drop me an email for a copy of the list. chickenpuppet AT msn DOT com. I have a couple of long sleeve tees and several discs.
