Buoy system

Okay guys, here is another one for the collective IW mind. We have more new club growing pains. Those are good though, right? What are your clubs using for your buoys. From the anchor up to the float. We have permission to permenantly locate our buoys, but they must remain submerged (the property owner said 2 ft. below the surface at low water). We realize that we will have to clip onto a submerged float or place the buoys each time we run. However, we are currently scheduling open water 2 sessions a week and want to be able to run the course each time. So, this means we need a quick to set up course that can either be hooked up quickly or placed in the lake quickly while remaining compact in storage. I think if the weather keeps us from running Saturday, we are going to the lake with the transit to lay out the course so any and all input is appreciated.

I'm guessing that at a maximum the buoy would be about 3 ft. under murky water, so being able to locate it quickly is paramount. We have a GPS unit, but it will still be somewhat like finding needles in a haystack. We have a few ideas on what to do, but the costs could add up quickly for mistakes, so we want to try to do it right the first time.

Thanks in advance.

Heres a thought,

Rather than using milk jugs 2 ft below the surface, use the orange colored plastic bottle that TIDE comes in. Use plastic rope that floats. Tie off the orange bottle 2 ft below the surface like the owner wants and leave just enough float type rope to be above the surface. Find the rope, clamp off the bouy and your all set.
