Title: Disc Golf in the Snow
Post by: SERG on January 05, 2004, 11:12:48 AM
The snow has come here at grand ol' Parkside. Any advice for making sure you don't lose a disc? I've been told that putting ribbon to the disc works...how/what do you use to attach the ribbon...tape?

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

A 12 inch piece or ribbon (red is nice) taped to the disc seems to work pretty good. Some people like duct tape. I just use the same stuff I use to tape glow sicks to my discs.

I find that on my main discs that I use.  I'll use shoe goo and about a 36 inch piece of ribbon.  The goo will stay on for loooonnggg time and peels off easily when you want to take it off.  Tape always fell off when the snow was melting.  very cold days tape is good.

Household Goo works also. I think its the same stuff.

Duct Tape 24" or more of red curling ribbon. Cut a slit in the center of the tape, feed an inch or so of the ribbon through the tape. Then tape it down on the bottom of the flight plate so the ribbon is hanging straight down from the center.

I've never had problems with the tape falling off and when Im done it doesn't leave a residue.

Household Goop works for me.  Probably the same stuff as both kinds of Goo.  I've tried duct tape and Goop is far better.  You have to Goop your discs inside the night before.  Goop the middle underside of the disc, put the ribbon in the Goop and then Goop over the ribbon so it is entirely embedded in the Goop.  

We have not yet had enough snow for me to really need ribbons since I'm one of those rare players who actually watches his disc land and then takes note of where it landed.

Thank you very much for all the input. I'll probably give both of the ways a try.
