Our club is working with a town gov't on a permanent course in an existing city park. All signs point to this happening in the next 1-2 years. In the meantime, we have started two leagues that play in the space where the permanent course will eventually go.
Here's the problem. The town has given us permission to be there every week and operate the league, but not to affect anything in the park on a permanent basis. We need to mark trees and teepad locations. So, for the teepads we have been leaving a mark in the grass and will make a point to rub it with our feet every time we play so that it doesn't fill in with grass. Not ideal, but it works.
The targets are more of an issue. Lately there has been a 'local grumpy old man' that is taking down our tape that we have been using to mark the trees. Basically it is two bands around the trunk, and you have to hit your disc between the two bands to hole out. We have been using the relatively inexpensive plastic landscaping tape in a bright pink color. Issue is that it's really easy to take down as the tape is not very strong.
I wanted to solicit this forum to look for other ideas on a non permanent way to mark the trees. Ideally we are left with two bands that show a top and bottom. The town will not allow us to nail or screw anything into the trees.
