Time to get out the ribbons, put the DX on the porch

Haha, the title of this was funny to me and if I didn't used to play a lot in WI/MI would have no clue what you are talking about.

I played a round with Martin Dewgartia and he taught me about leaving your discs outside before playing in the winter. Esp if your taping something to it.

Nooo. You put tape on while discs are warm. Let them sit for a bit. Then leave them outside before you throw, so snow doesn't stick to them.

We don't need no stinkin' ribbons. Seriously, those folks always crack me up.

Depends on the snow. All the stuff we've got so far in WI is fluffy, disc hiding snow. Last year, I went w/o ribbons all winter. Not this year.

That's how you find your discs in the fluffy stuff.

On a related note, isn't it great when we get so much snow that the basket is ground level?

Just wait for a melt-and-freeze and slide them right in :hfive:

I had to play in the rain yesterday. Had a great time: pools and rivulets, mushrooms everywhere, fallen trees, frightened deer ran by (afraid of the massive power of my 300 foot throw). That white stuff you guys are talking about, is that what they use for Skiing in Tahoe?

P.S. What are the ribbons for ???

This. All day long. I put ribbons on mine on Monday and they've been (literally) chilling in my trunk ever since.

When the disc dives into the snow, the ribbon still pops out of the snow so you can find your froz.

My favorite is skipping across water my noodle arm can't carry.

Played 10 holes today in calf-high powder, 14°, with a wind chill of about 0. Didn't bring the discs to fight the wind, and suffered on those holes. The last 4 were all tailwind, and I had some fun there.

Ribbons: not really necessary in virgin powder, or with mids and putters, which I threw today.

Field full of boot marks and throwing drivers, they are necessary.

Played in a light blizzard today........ 4-6" before it stopped.
Shot a 59 (+3), good enough to keep my 10 tag!!

I love the snow golf that I have had the chance to play, but I have to admit, I have no desire to drive to a course now that the closest one is 30 minutes away in great weather. Wishing for a course closer yet again lol
