Mini Markers

This is a subject I hear very little discussion over, but I think it could be an entertaining discussion. It makes most sense to use a heavy marker right? Especially in the windy tournaments, you wouldn't want your mark to move or be blown in the wind. I know you can remark your lie in PDGA rules if that happens, but why take a chance right?

My mini is a Discraft "Frontier Open" from several years ago. It was my first "Big" tourney. It was the stamp with the speedometer on it, but thats all but warn away. I can't recall what year, but I really had fun at that tourney and that is the only mini I have ever used in a tourney, since I got it! I almost lost it at Ellis the other night. I was walking back up from the creek bottom as we skipped made up hole #4 because of the senior picture people and my bag "bounced". I checked to see if my mini was still in the putter pocket and it was gone! As I was looking, Brett asked what I was looking for and I told him "my mini". Then I said I probably left it back on hole #2. We finished the round right there on that made up hole where my bag bounced, so I started looking again. It was getting dark and I was getting nervous since I had been looking for about a minute. There in the grass about three feet of the path, straight up and down, was my good old "Frontier Open" mini! Hey Brett, now you know why I had to keep looking for it!

I see a lot of guys with metal minis, but that's not for me, until I lose this one. Innova just came out with another "weighted" mini. It's supposed to go a long way. I don't know how far, but for mini golf, it might be kind of fun.

My 183g Element X nearly fit into my 198g Zephyr...

...which would have made for a 'self~contained salad~bar'!!!

Or would this be a 'maxi'?!?

That sounds cool, Q. The folks who buy the mini driver may have an advantage? What kind of targets will you be using?
