anyone have any ideas how to play winter golf without losing you disc constantly in a foot of snow? or do you guys just watch it closely...somebody must have a solution...

There's a thread on this somewhere in here. The best idea I ever heard but haven't tried was from Alaska. They use blue rock climbing powder that's like the chalk used on pool cue tips. Lightly powder your disc before throwing and you can see the blue colored slit where it enters the snow.

Here is the Link (http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=316752&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1) for that thread.

Curling ribbon is an old stand by... but try this:

Go to a discount card shop and buy the "musical cards." The music mechanism is very light and won't affect the flight very much. In the snow the disc will be audible. I saw this done a few years ago and it was very interesting to hear jingle bells from under the snow.

Glue about 2 1/2 or 3 feet of red ribbon to the bottom of your disc with Goop. When you are done with it the Goop pops right off the disc for easy clean up.

Goop works really good. You have to do it indoors the night before.

This is what the Waterford Junior Girls Club does: we make friends with all the neighbors and then set up a temp course in several combined backyards. Everytime we've lost a disc, when the snow melted it was right there!

A variant on that theme is to play in a park that is seriously underused by making up an object course. One time Diana lost a disc in the middle of the fairway on hole 3 at Hawthorn Park in Pontiac because we were playing doubles and she just forgot to pick it up. A week later it was still there, open and obvious, in the middle of the fairway.

Goop. Ribbons. Works great.

I've been using goop (a type of adhesive) to attach LED Bobber Lights to the bottoms of my discs. Only really works with Z/Champ discs, but all the snow around the disc lights up. Also, with a little effort, the good can be removed (no sanding, just takes some time to peel off the stuff).
