The ice may be melting outside but that didn't stop the second annual Frozen Lake Ice Bowl at Lake Hastings. This disc golf tournament benefits the Grand Island Salvation Army. 25 golfers took aim, hoping to land their Frisbees in the baskets. Some scored, some didn't.
But all players made a difference. They raised $330 and collected eighty pounds of food. Event organizers say this event provided a break from the competitiveness of the sport.
"Normally these guys come out to play for mone, but in these events they're happy to just make a donation and come out and play and get together," tournament director Steve Stump.
Disc golf players participate in Ice Bowl events all over the country this time of year to benefit community non–profits.
