Most of our readers are well aware of the winter conditions we experience here in Michigan. And you’re likely also aware that we don’t let those conditions stop us from playing disc golf year round.  We’ve discussed the discs, plastics, etc to deal with in the winter but we haven’t specifically discussed the gear we recommend, and there’s a lot of it.

Winter Disc Golf – Advice
With winter coming to an end and your winter disc golf opportunities dwindling, we thought you might enjoy a wider perspective of advice. I like to think that Rodney and I are awesome at giving advice… but then we go and throw our first drive of the round on the roof of the clubhouse and realize that you, the readers, would absolutely benefit from other people’s advice. With this in mind, we’ve spoken to many of our disc golf friends, mostly in the Midwest but a few a little further out. Here are some of the great pieces of advice provided by your fellow disc golfers!

Winter Disc Golf – Benefits and Goals
I love playing disc golf in the winter.  Primarily because we rarely encounter more than one or two other groups and the course is customarily quiet. That does bring up the question though, why are there no other disc golfers on the course? Yeah, I get it.  Cold. Discs don’t fly as far. Wind. Snow. Cold. Well, I believe winter disc golf has many benefits that outweigh the discomfort of the cold.  Over the past couple months we’ve written about various aspects of winter disc golf, and this post will focus on benefits and managing your goals while throwing in the cold.  If you’re already a year-round disc golfer then…

Disc Golf Stock Images – An Open Letter
Dear Disc Golfers, If you’ve been following us over the past couple of months then you may have seen us go through the logo incident.  Without going into detail, another disc golf company used the DG Puttheads logo on apparel they were selling.  Don’t worry though, this appears to be resolved. Anyway, in the wake of dealing with this we decided that we should turn the situation into something positive.  If we’ve learned anything from Patrick McCormick and

Nak Mini Disc Golf Markers
***Update – Nak is not currently taking orders and social pages are turned off. We will update this page when Nak is back up.*** There’s a new disc golf mini marker company in the game called Nak Mini Disc Golf Markers.  If you’re asking, “So what, just another mini?”, then you should take a look at what this Pennsylvania company is producing before you brush it off.  Nic, the creator, sent us a custom metal mini maker with the DG Puttheads ‘DGPH’ monogram engraved on the underside and it’s quickly become my favorite mini in my collection. Nak Mini Disc Golf Markers just recently popped up. Now, the popularity is exploding…

Friction Gloves Review
I’m sure you are aware that we play year round no matter the temperature but you probably didn’t know that both Chris and I don’t wear a glove on our playing hand.  Zero degrees outside? No glove.  Super high winds? No glove.  A foot of snow or driving rain? No glove.  We have always preferred to use our bare hand.  After all it’s the only thing that comes in contact with the disc we wish to propel and we can deal with cold hands for a while.  If only there were a viable solution…

Element Discs Uranium Review
The Element Discs Uranium is a short mid-range driver with a ton of bite.  This overstable approach disc is consistent and powerful and makes for an excellent short game staple.  And don’t overlook the Terra blend plastic which has great grip but is more durable than most base plastics.

Winter Disc Golf – Discs and Plastic
Does this sound familiar? Â You pull out your cold hard Elite Z Nuke, still beaded with drops of melted snow from the last hole. Â You wipe it over with your towel only to realize that the towel is also completely saturated and your Nuke is still wet. Â You decide to throw anyway but immediately regret your decision as the extra firm plastic rim rips at your fingertips. Â Then you watch it hyzer out hard and drop far earlier than expected. Â That’s winter disc golf for you. We recently discussed how to adjust your putting for the cold and a few ways to help mitigate the loss of distance due to…
