Washer Paint?: August 10, 2007
Past Washoo champions Trevor and Kevin O'Neill played a friendly Wednesday night. It was well into the darkness of night and the flood lights were used to allow game play. They had quite the lengthy battle and every point was well earned. After a few searches for missing washers in the grass, I found myself contemplating the benefits of colouring the washers. My neighbours just made some washoo pits and used orange and green spray paint to colour the washers. I could easily do the same but something keeps holding me back.
Benefits of painting:
- easier to see and find
- no more "how many did I get in?"
Disadvantages of painting:
- alters weight of washers
- different 'feel' of washer surface
- possible chipping of paint in the future could affect washer flight
So I open it up to you. What is your opinion? To paint or not to paint?
