Wintertime Disc Golf

Playing in the winter...cold, snow and ice is always a fun time...even more so when you understand how to play winter rules.  Winter rules make the difference between fun and losing or breaking many, many discs.

Rule #1:  Don't throw white discs.  White discs are hard to find in the snow.

Rule #2:  Don't throw old school or DX plastic.  Old school platic will break when hitting a tree at a high rate of speed.  Don't run the risk of breaking that nice ROC.

Rule #3:  Play for fun.  No use is being too competitive in the winter months...specially if there is snow on the ground.

Rule #4:  Learn to read the tracks in the snow.  If your disc hits fresh snow at a high rate of speed...it can travel 20 feet or more under the snow.  KNow where to look.

Rule #5:  Follow the tracks of others that played before you.  The less tracks through the course the easier it will be to locate or find your disc.  This is a hard lesson for most to understand.

Rule #6:  Play for fun.
