Post a cool disc golf winter photo

[jhgonzo]

A few from my recent weekend at Highbridge for my buddy's bachelor party...sadly, the drifting got so bad the night we arrived and the sleds proved to be somewhat unreliable, so there wasn't much discing to be had. Still, great times in the Honka House, stayed nice and toasty and enjoyed some winter hot tubbin'!

Cruisin' on Highbridge Gold #15 on one of John's vintage rental sleds:

The signature island hole, Highbridge Gold #16:

Since we couldn't do a full round (or even half a round), we did a friendly wager with a ring-of-fire-style toss (which I lost, partly due to attempting to throw with my opposite hand while snapping this pic):

So you are telling me that you took snowmobiles around the course while you played? Is it completely navigable by snowmobile? When can I come with you since I do not have a snowmobile?

Well, first off, John kind of used our group for a trial run of winter activities he's had planned for a while now. He originally had 4 vintage snowmobiles, then only 3 when we arrived (we brought 2 of our own), and of those 3 only 1 ended up working reliably, so he's got some maintenance to keep up on if he wants to make "vintage snowmodiscing" a reality. There are some trails winding around his property, but he didn't groom the fairways, so there were drifts anywhere from ankle deep to sack deep (he says he intends to compact and groom the snow on at least Blueberry to make it playable, but again hadn't done this for us; I think he was more or less looking for our feedback on how to make winter discing plausible and enjoyable). So yeah, it was a blast, even without discing, and I'll definitely do a winter trip up there again if he takes care of those minor issues. I don't own my own snowmobile either, harr, so hopefully John gets a bunch of rentals up and running for next winter!

Nice, doesn't that dog freeze it's paws off? I know my golden can't stay out in the snow for too long without limping.

Forest does well if it's above 0F, much colder and he starts to shiver and his paws get ice in them. He was doing ok out there yesterday, though we were both pretty done after one round.

When did we breed the pussycat into the dog?

also:
GDBP, THAT is awesome!

Just got done practicing on my basket in the back yard. Thought I'd snap a picture to share with you all. Sure looks warm and inviting, doesn't it?

What GDBP fails to mention is that he's only 4' 10" and kneeling. :| :|

A buddy sent me these pics from his round at Flip City today...

18 inches in 2 days :/ plus 30mph winds last night, and no reports of thunder snow(in my area), but I could swear that I heard some...though I never saw any. I have a buddy who wants to be a weatherman who was the one that told me there hadn't been any actual reports of thunder snow in our area, but Milwaukee supposedly got some.

 

[jhgonzo]

No, it wasn't thunder snow you heard. It was angels bowling.

This is way a winter day in California is like.

[MooTaters]

Hah, little kid wondering what you were doing in the video?

From a recent trip to Michigan:

so you were knealing right?

 

[Jukeshoe]

No, I was kidding about that. Flip had tons of snow. :thmbup:
