We had a snow storm yesterday. Couldn't help but put a round in!

Your timing is impeccable. Snow golf is better than no golf.

I wish I only had to deal with that much snow.

That is awesome!
Can't believe the one dude threw a white disc on some of those!

Naw, it's pretty difficult to lose a putter approach within 100ft in fresh snow (regardless of color).

I could find a way.

That guy is me. And what flyin27 said was right, they were short throws and the snow was brand new, so it wasn't an issue. However, today me and him played and I lost one of my white putters while doing some warm up putts before the round :doh:
We had a few inches drop yesterday and today was bright and blue in the morning. Me and a few buddies headed out for some snow golf and it was awesome, but 3 out of the 5 lost a disc in open fairways. )It took me 5 minutes to find a purple putter that I placed under the basket from 20 feet out at one point
)
The snow was just fresh enough and deep enough that a disc could slide in and cover its own tracks Oh well, keeps things interesting.
That looked like a fun round, I wish i would have thought to carry our own snow shovel though, thanks for vid it was a fun watch.

Calvary Hill? Just played there about a month ago in the rain. Nice course. Nice vid too.
We don't ever get that kind of snow. We did get a couple of inches of sleet that piled up, it left a weird ice layer over the ground. Some of it was crunchy, but a lot of it froze over like a sheet of ice. It's not quite like frozen pond ice, but definitely not like snow either. Lot's of bizarre skips off the ice, and discs sliding for 60' once they hit the ground. And discs spinning like tops, some really crazy stuff.

I love 100' icy skip shots! The midwest...you can't beat it.

Duct tape and ribbon saved me a few discs in KC when I played snow golf. Works great, even if it sinks the ribbon sticks out, doesn't affect the flight much if any.

^ This. All day long. I've played two winters with ribbon and never lost a disc.

Played yesterday as well in that snowstorm in MKE, it was brutally horrible.
Got some icy disc golf stuff going on

Me too, Valley View. I had fun... lost a disc though. I didn't think it was too bad until the winds picked up at around 3:00.
Especially with the snow we had yesterday... light and fluffy. Discs were sliding underneath leaving no visual entrance point. You could see a ruffled trail if it landed flat and slid but if it spiked underneath and stuck, you were screwed.
