Beacon Disc Golf
A stick-on disc tracker that beeps every ten seconds once switched on, with no app or pairing, sold in one-, three-, and six-packs.
What to know
Beacon fixes to a cleaned disc with an adhesive ring whose centre hole lines it up over the nub, and the company asks for 72 hours of curing before play. Its single button switches the unit on and cycles four sound options, and the alert is stated to carry up to 100 feet. Each unit weighs about 7 grams and runs on a CR2016 rated for around 100 rounds, replaceable through two Phillips screws without taking the Beacon off the disc. It is water-resistant rather than waterproof.
More detail
The company states that a disc carrying a Beacon is not PDGA-approved, because the PDGA permits no modification of a disc, a sticker included, and that such discs are legal only at events where the tournament director has declared night or snow play. Packs are sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee, shipping to the United States and Canada.
