The 14th Winter Blast is Coming Up Soon and We Need Your Help Disc Golf Family!

For the past 13 years the Winter Blast tournament has been a chance for the tour to give back in a big way. Twelve years in a row we helped Freedom’s Rest Women’s & Children’s Shelter, but they have since closed their doors. It is very important that we share generosity and kindness to children and families, and we have been given the opportunity to help for a second year with the Burrell Children’s Day Treatment (CDT). The CDT is a treatment program that helps children ages 3-6 who are often delayed, neglected, abused, or a combination of all. Most of the kids in this program have little to no social skills, and for this reason are unable to attend pre-school. The staff teaches the children to play, work together, and display positive social skills. The staff leads by example demonstrating an amazing amount of patience, positive reinforcement, compassion, encouragement, and loving skills that have often never been shown to these children.

Burrell’s CDT has had many success stories through the year’s. As many of you may remember from last year, my wife is the director of CDT, and she has been a part of the program for 24 years. She has a very special gift of heart to do what she does, and I am amazed she has been able to continue year after year. If you have met her, or have ever seen her interact with children, you know how gifted she is with kids. I’m blessed to have her in my life, and I know she is a blessing to each and every kiddo and family she has worked with.

We will be doing the same things we have done in the past which is donating a small part of the entry fee, having a raffle, and asking for donations to help provide things needed to keep the CDT program going strong.

Here is the “Wish List” of items needed that would be a huge help to the program:
Crayola art supplies
12x18 construction paper
24 and 48 piece table puzzles
Treasure Box toys, stickers
Books (easy read)
If you are more of an Amazon type shopper here is a link to the CDT Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/8SH0J64B8L5?ref_=wl_share

We hope this will make things easier for those who want to contribute and may not be able to make it to the tournament, or for those who simply like shopping from the comforts of their own home.

My hope for this event is together we can pool our generosity and kindness to provide as much support as possible to the children and the families helped by the CDT. If you are able to do any one or multiples of the following please let me know:
1. Round up your friends and have them sign up
2. Donate items from the CDT needs list above
3. Bring raffle items
4. Find potential sponsors
5. Sign up to bring Turkeys & Hams for the Turkey Trott
6. Bring a little extra money for the raffle.

I thank you all in advance for your support for this year’s Winter Blast. I appreciate the continued support of my tours, and I look forward to adding this events success to my 2024 Reflection Tour Wrap Up!

See you December 14th in Ozark, Missouri for the 14th Annual Winter Blast!

Every player who came out received a Custom Embroidered Lucky 13 Hat, and a custom stamped Halo or Champion Glo disc in the players pack along with a ticket into the raffle for an original Lucky 13 basket! The new course layout and first concrete pads were well received by competitors!

Congratulations to all players who cashed in the tournament!

Congratulations to the basket winners of the day:

Patriot’s Gold & Silver and Liberty Utilities present: The 5th Annual Ozarks Dam Open Players’ Meeting

Doubles is from 2:00- 5:00 Friday on the Temp Course. Cannonball James Roberts will be running it.

Welcome to the Ozarks Dam Open! As always, we’d like to start off by thanking our title sponsors: Liberty Utilities for the financial support, the bonus course and always keeping their course well manicured (Hats off to Randy Richardson the Plant Manager). We also appreciate the continued support from Patriot's Gold & Silver. Jeff Ford and his family continue to help make the tours a success!

This may cause this pool to start the 2nd round before the pool playing the temp course. Please watch for the start times for your pool on the pdga tournament website.

On hole 17 please be careful walking along the road as there is often traffic on this road. Remember there is a 3 minute rule when looking for a disc once the entire group is looking for it. Note that there is a drop zone for a lost disc on the long hole 23.

The staff will automatically receive the scores at tournament central. Please remember that all players must keep score. After the first round, we will break for lunch. Round 2 SHOULD start around 1:00, but may change based on last card. There will be an announcement by DGM staff, and round 2 assignments will be posted on the PDGA page.

Hottest Round of the day was Corey Anderson MPO who shot a 1027 in Round 1, and ended up holding his lead to victory!

Two players in MA40 went into a playoff after a tie between Bruce Cunningham and Brad Phillpott. Brad Philpott ended up taking the win after one playoff hole. Congratulations on your victory, and what a great day of play for someone who hadn't played the course until the day of the tournament!

In MA50 went into a playoff after a tie between Jeff Ford and Troy Miesner. Troy claimed the win after just one playoff hole as well.

In MA2 Troy Miesner, son of MA50 winner, had an amazing noteworthy 120 foot up shot that skipped right into the basket to save par! Definitely a moment to celebrate!

Congratulations to all players who cashed in the tournament!

Congratulations to the CTP winners!

Also, Congratulations to the big raffle winner Jeff Ford who won the basket! As

Congratulations to Jackson Bekemeier who hit the only Ace of the day, Round 2 on Hole 3!

This year’s Mother Road Open will again have money added to both Ams and Pros. With the help of sponsors we are sitting at $1000 for Pros ($250 more than the $750 needed for a B Tier) and $500 for Ams! I want to mention that this was only made possible by the Marshfield Parks & Rec, SoundEnvision, and the incredible efforts of Patrick Porter who is still rounding up sponsorships.

Another great partnership for this event is our team up with Slim Chickens who has agreed to provide lunch for all players. I met Amanda Barnett (the GM of the Lebanon location) at the Route 66 Festival in Lebanon during our putting tournament. We discussed catering for the Jared Hilton Memorial. She was able to make it happen for both the JHM and The Mother Road! If you are close by the Lebanon location and want some good food, please support Slim Chickens in Lebanon and give a “thank you” to Amanda.

We look forward to seeing all of you in Marshfield this coming Saturday at the Mother Road Disc Golf Course. There will be a raffle with a lot of items up for grabs, and of course there will be a basket given away as the big ticket item. Come prepared for a lot of fun, and we hope to SEE YOU SOON!
