Ribbons have been approved for this event. It's your responsibility to provide ribbon. I also hear that chaulk works pretty well as a guide to see where your disc entered the snow. Feel free to chaulk it up!

They seem to shorten the flight a bit, but it's much better than looking and not finding.

What happens if you lose a disc in the snow that clearly landed in-bounds? Is there a time limit for looking for it? I lost one yesterday on hole 3, it couldnt have been more than 20 yards from the basket....

Matt Rinker   February 5, 2014 at 2:37pm

You have 3 mons to look for a disc. If the disc is not found, you must rethrow from your previous lie. There will be no penalty stroke for lost discs, but you must count the throw you lost you disc on. So if you tee off, and must re-tee, you are throwing your 2nd shot.

FYI.... Due to the amount of snow, every division will play from short tees on holes 2 and 5, which measure 330 and 400, respectively. Also, we will not play hole 6 because it's on a sledding hill, there will be an alt hole that plays near Tourney central in its place.
I'm excited to see everyone come out and help us get some real life cement pads and update those raskets. Bring a friend or 5!

Just played the course yesterday, the tee pads look amazing thanks to Jim, snow is 8" in most areas, up to 18"+ in drifts and untouched areas. Walking trails in the back are easy walking compared to the front 5. It will be a great day!

its where you tape like 4 foot of ribbon to the bottom of you disc so you can find it if it goes under the snow.

Chris Eberhard   February 1, 2014 at 2:46pm

Thanks for the tip and the link!
