Today I did a long putt with an orange disc (lots of leaves on the ground) and I figured since it was very close to the basket, I'd spot it easily. LOL, I had to comb the area for quite a while to find it.I play several wooded courses with blind shots, and my white Neutron Wave is the easiest to find. I have a few others that are pink, and I'll give them a runner-up.
Yes, it's that time of the year again. Tomorrow planning on playing a favorite an hour away with more than half the pin positions in heavy woods and canopy and can be dark. The leaves shouldn't be layered yet, but I'm not risking or want to be tempted to use my dark blue Out of Production Plasma Tangent I've grown fond of, its staying home.Today I did a long putt with an orange disc (lots of leaves on the ground) and I figured since it was very close to the basket, I'd spot it easily.

Won't do that again, regardless how short the putt
Very true but the wooded courses when the leaves start falling with cool days are perfect times to play, IMO. Played in these conditions yesterday and I only used light blue discs except for the one time on a long putt when I used an orange disc (as mentioned above) and it took forever to find it.Another vote for Pink or light blue for general 4 seasons. They excel in fall leaves.
the only problem with pinks is the older/dirtier/beat up the disc the more earth toned it can become. But that's a general rule for any color.
having played in really bad New England fall leaves I learned that it the leaves are super dry and fluffy its best to have the mindset that odds are high you can lose a disc even if you see where it lands (could even be a short 15ft putt).
avoid extra throws especially on solo rounds.
I also noticed that it's better to only play those super wooded courses with piles of leaves after a good rain when the leaves are matted down and I'll stick to more open courses if possible.
Here's a fall disc color chart I made quite a while ago.
C3 and B12 were my usual choices.
Oh, endless knowledge, now I know this information, it's so interesting.Echoing the light blue and pink. Blue is one of the rarest colors in nature -- other than the sky, of course -- it's even hard to find blue flowers. With the asterisk that if your course includes water, water reflects the sky and camouflages the blue. Pink is a little more common in nature but, unless you throw into a thick patch of flowers, your pink disc probably won't find anywhere to hide.
There may also be local variations. White is one of the showiest colors in the woods, but our course has chunks of white quartz in places. Plus, if you play a public course with litter issues, that litter is overwhelmingly white, too, which your disc knows and will use to blend in with the crowd. Particularly if there are paper plates involved.
Nor are all woods created equal. Where there is deeper shade, brighter colors help. Where there aren't colorful fallen leaves, orange and yellow discs are less of an autumn issue. drift boss
4 seasoner here too
another vote for pink and light blue
white clear black green and yellow are ones i avoid
Interesting.In my home course in the spring bloom some of the blues & purples get a little lost in the flowers.
