Ice Bowl comes to Southern Maryland January 22nd.

Disc Golf, also referred to as Frisbee Golf, is a new and quickly growing sport in Southern Maryland. The 18-hole Hot Shots disc golf course inside John. G Lancaster Park in Lexington Park, MD was opened in October 2009 and continues to attract new local players to the nationally growing sport. A long standing tradition for disc golf clubs across the country, annual "Ice Bowl" tournaments are held in January and February to raise both money and food donations for local food banks. Branded "No Wimps. No Whiners," disc golfers pledge to brave the winter elements to support the local food banks and help fight the battle against hunger. This year local disc golfers from St. Mary's, Calvert, and Charles county have organized their very own 2012 chapter of Ice bowl disc golf tradition. All proceeds raised are being donated to the Southern Maryland Food Bank. The local disc golfers have set a goal at raising at least $500 and 100 lbs of food to send to the food bank. Players are urged to find sponsors to donate to the food bank by raising pledges per hole. The single round, 18-hole tournament will be held on January 22nd at the Hot Shots course. All players are asked to arrive by 9:00 A.M. and stay for the chili cook-off after competitive play. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers and also to those that have accumulated the most donations.
