10 tips for (GREAT) winter disc golf | Disc Golf Basics
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- We tried 10 tips for winter disc golf. And we liked it a lot! It seems like like most tips can be put into two categories - 1. How to be comfortable and 2. How to not loose your discs 😂.
The tips:
1. Disc down and use brightly colored discs.
2. Keep your discs cool before the round so the snow wont stick to it.
3. Tape a ribbon to the disc so you can spot it in the snow.
4. Use a spotter.
5. Don´t use your favorite discs in case you loose it.
6. In short dress warm but also dress right. Layers is a good idea in case you want to adjust the tempeture during the round.
7. Bring towels! The discs will be wet.
8. Go with stand still throws (if the ground is all slippery).
9. Try throwing glowes. Thin gloves with a nice grip.
10. Bring something warm to drink.
We hope you´ll enjoy the video and let us know if we missed a tip 😀

“Oh goodbye” So relatable 😂
laughed at that one :D
That was pretty great!
Haha 😂👍
I felt that
Feel like we need “Is it hyzer time?” merch. Video editing and quality is great. Keep it up!
That is a pretty great catchphrase
😂👍
@@ChadSolberg it really is!
Yes
That would go best on some Hzyer/hammer pants.
STOP! Is it Hyzer time?
I am ecstatic to now use mittens and tell everyone its because "my fingers are in survival mode and can help each other out in there". I've always loved mittens, but now my response will be pure science based. Best production in disc golf, keep on killing it Johnathan, Johannes, and Tomas (Thomas with an umlaut somewhere?).
Haha thank you 😀👍 /Jonathan
Wholesome content, I just feel better after watching these videos and I am no slouch at winter disc or disc golf in general (Wisconsinite who's been playing for 20 years). Thank you.
That makes me happy, Joseph :)
@@josephmichels6347 I agree. I never even thought about putting ribbons all the deaths but it's a great idea. Ever-so-slightly looking forward to Winter a little more now.
The ribbon idea is genius. Like seriously, it's a game changer.
And if I might be so bold to offer another tip: Don't throw off the tee pad if there is snow on it. If you walk all over a concrete pad and pack down the snow, it's likely to turn icy and near impossible to clean later.
Yes for sure. Was a lot of times we almost lost the disc. So it´s a must for sure! :) /Jonathan
Ribbon is good but split it to half so it will affect even less to flight and still works as intended.
I talk a shovel with me on those days, to help keep the pads cleaned.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 I suppose it depends on how much snow you have on how much would be useful :)
@@DanielMinottoII I meant split it to half lengthwise making it more narrow not shorter.
Don't forget the shake the trees as your buddy walks under them!
WHY DID I FORGET THIS. Next time! 😂👍
"OPE, little twig there." Glad we're not the only ones that Ope.
Haha 😂
Thought that was a minnesota thing
@@stvsmith1791 Me too, that's where I'm from haha.
@@stvsmith1791 We say it a lot in Michigan too. It seems to be really popular in the midwest.
That's your midwestern Scandinavian roots.
Good to see other players in the deep snow. Here in Alaska if you don’t play in the snow you’ll miss half the year. Thanks for the tips guys.
Haha I can imagine. Can also imagine that the scenery is pretty nice? /Jonathan
One tip we do in Michigan in the winter is use carpenters chalk and dust the disc's, just get the disc wet before you put the chalk on it.
Spent more time hunting for discs under the snow than playing on my last round. That ribbon trick is just fantastic. Thanks
It was a really really good thing to have! /jonathan
Keepin' it seasonal! Oh! Goodbye. Every time I tune in it keeps me relatable but more importantly...to keep it fun.
Jonathan is just the most hilarious guy, he can make any disc golf video fun to watch. Keep them coming guys!
Blushing over here 😀. Thank you. /Jonathan
Another tip. If it's snowed: when possible don't throw from the tee pad. They'll get/stay icy after a melt, and it's a pain to take care of.
I gotta say, the ribbon trick is a real disc saver on fresh powder! It saved at least 3 of my discs from getting lost! It didn't matter how bright my discs were when they get buried in a foot of snow.
What a beautiful snowfall day you picked to play a round!
I love the idea of a "top x tips" video where you are actually playing a round while explaining.
Glad you liked it :)
Once again, absolutely loved this video! Probably the most genuine, down to earth disc golf content around these days and always well edited too, which helps!
Wow. Thank you! /jonathan
8:27 Spruce sprig sighting! Johannes just lettin my man walk around with a stick on his hat 😂
Hahaha finally someone who mentions it 😂😂. Been waiting on it. /Jonathan
I saw the spruce sprig early on the round. Kinda liked it, so I decided to let it be 😁 / Johannes
@@Latitude64 I love that you guys did this! We always do this over here in Michigan. My first putter was a Sinus, still my fave
Gold blends in with tall grass/hay that's yellow. Green blends in with pine trees. IMO purple is your best bet. second choices are red or blue. Purple uses your red and blue cones, so it's more visible than just red or blue. But those 3 colors are the least present in the winter landscape.
I've never played disc golf in the snow like that...it looks like fun if your prepared for it. :)
Yeah I think that's the thing. Otherwise I can see it to be not as fun
Jonathan your wet explanation is epic. SCIENCE!! lol. Thanks
Haha thank you 😂👍
Great video. Visually, this course in the winter is gorgeous. Also, as a viewer, I can see the path of the disc much easier. Very fun to watch.
Glad you liked it :) /Jonathan
All the funny comments 🤣 I love your videos they make me laugh even after a bad day
That's great. Glad to hear that!
Hmm... Born in nordic country, never even thought of having a thermos filled with warm cocoa on winterrounds. Thanks for that!
If your not driving you might want to add a bit of rum!
Oh yeah. Great video! Super fun!
Definitly entertaining! Like the ribbons. Lovely course with the fresh snow.
Great tips for us northern hemisphere guys! Keep it coming!
My goodness that is beautiful snow course! such an entertaining guide, thank you!
Love the videos guys and I must say I’m starting to love your country. The winter there looks stunning.
What gorgeous scenery! Great video, thanks guys
I like that you play throughout the year. My friends and I have been playing in Baltimore's Druid Hill Park Disc Golf Course year round, as long as it isn't raining. A little snow and ice on the ground just adds to the surprises.
Love you guys!
You guys are just so genuine love it keep chasing the birdie from Mobile Alabama USA
Really enjoyed this video. Very different weather and scenery to here. Just got a Keystone recently and liking it so far! Keep it up guys!
Snow is so beautiful..... TO LOOK AT!!!!! lol but glad you still got to throw.
Haha 😂👍
I like the ribbon tip, that's clever and handy. Also this is easily one of the best disc golf tutorial series I have watched. Thanks and keep it up!
Perfect timing! I'm headed to Colorado tomorrow! Thank you guys!
Love the winthergolfing story.. -Must try this winther 2024.. 🎉
I love your videos. You guys make me laugh rite along with you. I'm new to this sport, but enjoy it very much. I learn a lot from your videos, and have a great time along the way. Beautiful scenery, great tips. Thanks
Thank you latitude, as someone who also lives in Sweden it's very much deep snow disc golfing, but that wont stop me
What a great video! Beautiful and makes me excited to try my first snow rounds this winter in Michigan.
Beautiful place to play winter golf we almost never get that much snow around me but my friends in Michigan are right with ya
Big ribbon tips : use duct tape it's more water resistant and shouldn't come off. Put the tape on a warm disc inside the house. Also cut the ribbon down the center a little bit. cut a slit in the tap, then pull each "leg" on either side making a T under the tape.
This was fantastic. Now if I could just get my friends to go play in the snow with me...
I'll sip coffee and watch the playback
I'm to old to play in the snow.
@@myfriendtj5087 I'm 59 and I enjoy it.
Great video, always iss the best weather for some disc golf!
When taping LED's or ribboms, make sure you do it to a dry and clean disc indoors. If you do it on the course, it'll last you about 3 throws, and the disc will sweat the tape off.
Nice one and very beautiful Swedish winter!
So familiar lookin scenes😁 The winter is coming😄 Great content, thanks guys 👍🇫🇮🇸🇪 jättebra
You guys crack me up. Our courses here in Mt. Pleasant, MI (Deerfield and Wildwood) look just like yours. Thanks again for the tips!
Fantastic stuff... That course is BEAUTIFUL. I don't play much in the winter... but this was inspiring. Might have to go find some bendy holes to play. "I can already tell that this tree doesn't like me" Great stuff.
Amazing round. Greats moments there. Thank you
Thank you :) /Jonathan
I absolutely love these videos. Being able to watch you improve and laugh along the way has been very enjoyable and entertaining. Please keep doing what you're doing - we love it! :)
Thank you, Anthony! /Jonathan
That favourite disc thing is so true...
I put my main discs on a box and left them to the basement...
3days later: lost my main throwing Putter :D
Sorry to hear that!
I'm headed to Europe in weeks. I can't wait!
Im thinking Sweden has winter disc golf going on 9 months of the year.....well done, love the humour
Haha pretty much 😂👍
Jonathan - you are hilarious. I really love the videos you, Johannes, and the rest of the latitude family produce. Keep killing it
I'm glad you like them, Karl :) /Jonathan
Love the comedy mixed with solid pointers. Keep em coming guys!!
Haha thank you 😀👍
Such funny and nice films you make! Thanks
That's very nice of you. Thank you :) /Jonathan
Enjoyed watching like always. Please more of that!
Will do. Hopefully you'll like them as well :)
I always am dumbfounded when people dislike videos like this. Seriously great original content
“Very nice of you to join me” will be stolen. I will be using that now. Great stuff
Haha 😂👍
This is my favourite video yet. Loved it!!!!
😀👍
i really love your videos
This was a great video, great job
Thank you :) /Jonathan
Not only instructional, but also funny. I always learn new things and you always manage to put a smile on my face. Keep up the great work!
Vad roligt att du gillar det :) /Jonathan
You guys are truly an inspiration for the sport. Keeping up the personal improvement but you guys also always nail it on the friendly/casual vibe. Keep it up guys.
Thank you for those kind words ❤
out of my two distance drivers is the sapphire my favorite. mostly because I bought my second distance driver yesterday and havn't tried it out yet... but it is a discmania mentor
Fantastic video! Would like to see more of these! Keep up the good work
Thank you, Magnus :) /Jonathan
These videos are informative and hilarious. What more can we ask for. Plus the editing is great. Amazing job Jonathan 👍🏾
Thank you, sir 😀👍
Helt SUPER igen 👌🏼Tack till er båda. Hälsningar från 🇫🇮
Tack så mycket, Kia :).
Google let you down... they're called sweatpants, not soft pants. Great video! I live in New England so many of these tips are helpful.
Gonna have a serious talk with Google!! 😂
Really good video! High quality, good tips and very enjoyable to watch!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀 /jonathan
More casual snow rounds with you 2!
I live in Michigan and these are all great tips. Cannot stress how important a pair of good quality mittens are. Easy to take on and off and keep your hands warm between throws. Really enjoyed this video and subscribed!
That´s awesome. Welcome! Yeah I totally agree! Have a nice day. /Jonathan
Those hole previews are so relaxing. My mind is at ease now
I´m glad. Tried to edit them with that in mind :) /Jonathan
Grymt jobbat, keep it coming 👍🙂💪
Those rechargeable hand warmers really work. A group 4 of us all own 1-2 of them each haven't had any issues with any of them.
And fleece lined weather resistant pants from Costco 😇
Have been using the same throwing glove since October when the temps went close to zero. Great vid once again :).
Thank you :)
MINNESOTA !!! lol we get nuts and disc no matter what. thanks. btw i love that claymore.
Fun video. Good ribbon idea
Glad you liked it :). Yeah the ribbon really made a difference. /Jonathan
I really liked this video, it was fun to watch you 2 throw a round.
Glad you liked it :)
Hi guys, just moved back to Canada from living in Sweden for 7 years. It's so nice hearing the Swedish accent again and seeing such down to earth dudes. These tips are great in both of my "home" countries!
What accent 😂👍
@@Latitude64 Well, it's certainly no Swedish Chef (as people assume it sounds like) but I can't replicate it for the life of me! Also, you forgot one tip: There isn't OB in the winter (be nice to yourself because the weather certainly won't be. Unless of course you physically cannot play your lie!).
True that. I think we just did it cause johannes is a really good player 😂
There was a snow storm in finland and now there is 40cm snow on the ground!! I almost lost two discs in nine holes and lost my pure and magician while practising!
We got the same weather here. Holy moly. Glad you didn't like more disc
!
Play winter disc every week in Maine. I highly recommend "hot hands" or a similar product in your jacket pockets. It's a pain to be putting gloves on and off, I rarely use them. Good towel too. I wear the LLBean Cresta fleece lined hiking pants. Not sure if this helps anyone but thought I'd add it. It gets pretty icy here on the coast so a good pair of spikes to slip on over your boots can be handy, unless you're going to use a tee pad that is cleaned off. The good thing is that in two and a half years of playing my stand still game is actually pretty good lol. Keep up the good work and everybody have fun.
Hey. Yeah I actually looked for those prior to recording the video. But couldn´t find any and didn´t have time to order. Okey, would you say that you use your stand still game more than a run/walk-up?
@@Latitude64 hello, I hope you are having a great day and thanks for the reply. I definitely use my standstill game the majority of the time in the winter. My home course right near my house (Pineland Farms, in Maine) has 2 courses. They close the longer course in the winter for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and they leave the shorter course open in the winter so it's easier to play that from a standstill too. It has definitely helped out in the summer when I find myself up against a tree or in a spot where I cannot walk or run up. If I could do things differently I would go back in time and only throw standstill when I first learned for a few months. I feel like it makes you concentrate on being smooth, use your core muscles more, reach back farther and have a better angle of release because you don't have to worry about your footwork. Enjoy your gorgeous snowy rounds, it makes us tougher and I will play in any weather now!
@@chuckmcdiscs4586 That makes a lot of sense. Yeah I should probably do that as well. But its so hard not to want to do the run-up. It feels natural in a way. Even tho the discs fly all over the place qus of it, haha :). Hoping you´ll have a great day too!
love these vids. lat64 is a blessing to dg. also, shout out to disc golf valley
Glad you like them. Will be a disc golf valley video soon too on the channel if everything goes as planned :). Have a nice weekend
/Jonathan
Wow nice video! Very entertaining!! I actually watched it from beginning to end! Lol!
Haha thats rare these days. Thank you :) /Jonathan
As an Alaskan I can appreciate this video! We just finished our 1st winter league here. And winter Disc Golf is pretty great!
I agree 😀
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Talk about beautiful country!
Cheers, Mark :) /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 keep up the great work Jonathan!
Best disc golf channel hands down. 🙌🏼
😀
Now this is the content the world needs right now. I love your guys work and instructions. I am just beginning the journey of disc golf with my three boys and this has made us fans for life of your team and Latitude 64. Thank you, Jonathan, Johannes and Tomas. God bless and good health.
I´m glad you like it 😀
This was fun to watch, and seems like I may go out in the snow and do this😅. Nothing can stop you guys, hope to see these guys one day and play some with lat64. ❤️. 🙏
Let me know how it went if you do :) /Jonathan
You're getting better, man! Enjoy the tips, watching your progress and the content!
Cheers. I´m really trying, haha 😂 /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 Same for me! haha.
Great video!
Thank you :)
Love these videos! keep em up :D
Hello from Iceland!
Hey 😀🤘. Glad you liked it!
Johnathan, you do an incredible job putting together and editing these videos. I've been watching every video that pops up from you guys for the past 2 weeks. I'm hooked now. Ordered a couple Latitude 64 discs, with more items in my cart for next paycheck! 😅. Great outro music as well. Cheers from the States!
Thank you so much my good sir =). Hope you´ll like the discs and the future videos. Have a great day! /Jonathan
Fan va ni grabbar verkar härliga! Sjukt imponerad av eran video production, enkla och informativa, rolig humor och mycket inspirerande tips/tricks. Som nybörjare i discgolf (spelat snart 2 veckor och har super kul!) så blir man helt lyrisk & vill bara ha mer, blir dessutom fett sugen på att dra ut och testa allt som ni går igenom i videorna.
Tack för underhållningen, fortsätt så!
🏆
Tack snälla :). Lycka till med disc golfen! Kul att du hittat sporten. Allt gott! ❤🤘/Jonathan
Lol I like yer approach overall ☺️ for example the start of the tape offers a fun game 😂
😂👍
I live in Louisiana. Our winter disc golf is exactly the same as summer disc golf, minus the heat strokes.
I started playing about the same time as Jonathan and have enjoyed all of these videos immensely. Love watching the progress and the humor involved in learning a new sport! Keep it up!!!!
Thank you, Brian. How´s your progress coming along? /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 Driving well the other day but couldn't finish a putt, this morning could not get off the tee box but had some clutch par saves putts. You know, hit or miss haha.
Haha yeah I find that consistency is quite difficult to learn. Takes time
This may be my favorite disc golf video of all time. Great job
Wow thank you!! 😀 /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 no thank you! these guys are so funny to watch and the camera and editing was perfect.
Waited for a roller - really wanted to see that.
