I lost 4 discs in 3 consecutive days of tag matches. 3 discs were go to's. 1.333 discs per day. I'm sure there are those who have suffered far worse.
 
playing highbridge bear course for the first time ever when not mowed over took almost all my drivers I had in the bag after 15 holes. easily 3 discs an hour lol.
 
Lost 2 in a tournament round. One of them on a hole with a spotter :wall:

Those 4 strokes cost me 5-10 places.
 
My buddy lost 2 discs on one hole last week. Lost the first one, re teed off and lost that one. Both were over throws on a steep downward slope.
 
I have lost 4 in one day.

Couple of weekends ago, my buddy lost 7 in one weekend (2 on the same hole).

My home course has three lake holes in a row. Sometimes players have bad runs. Worst I saw was 4 discs in the 3 consecutive holes.
 
My buddies and I traveled down to San Angelo and played the middle concho. I think we lost 6 or 7 discs the day before the tournament. That sucked.
 
Took a buddy of mine who is an aggressive rec-level player to West Lake Park. By the end of hole 13, he lost all the drivers in his bag except for a flippy Wraith. I believe 6 or 7 discs total. One of the discs he lost was in his bag for about 5 years. He was so scared of water after hole 13 that if he ever encountered a hole with water he just threw straight into the woods, pitched back out to the fairway, then to the basket.

We had to stop by a disc golf store and pick out some new plastic for him before continuing to our next course.
 
I lost 4 in the first 7 holes at Stoney Hill one time, though I later found 2 of them. I calculated that, at that rate, I'd be out of discs before I finished.

I've lost a half-dozen warming up at Hampton Park before, on the water holes, but they were expendable.
 
Reading this thread thinking, "There but for the grace of God, go I."

Don't think I've lost more than 2 in a day, 3 in a weeekend... but that's probably just because I spend more time looking than some might.
 
I mentioned it in another thread - my son and I lost 4 discs in one round at the Valley last weekend, including 3 on hole 11 over the water. Both our tee shots went in the drink, then he played a shot later on the same hole that went into a swampy area. I lost another one on the next hole.


This after a weeklong roadtrip over 4 states and 10 courses where we lost only 1.
 
Over two days playing a tourney at Maricopa Meadows I lost at least eight. It's hard to recall exactly, I've tried to wipe the memory from my mind. I do remember that my very first practice drive went over a wall, and it set the theme for the weekend apparently. A truly painful experience.
 
On the opening weekend of Coyote Point, I lost 10 discs, including a 1st and a 2nd run CE Valkyrie. I got some of them back eventually, but strangely enough those two never appeared.
 
I lost two discs on #2 [pond hole]at Dabney one day, because I was sure there was no way I was gonna hit the tree and careen into the water a 2nd time. :\

But I had a buddy who was playing a tourney in NC, where he crouched down to retrieve his drive from the edge of a deep lake. His heel tipped his bag up, and all 15 discs rolled out of his bag, plopped into the lake, and sank out of sight.
He finished with one driver and a putter, but the TD took pity and gave him a half-dozen new discs.
 
I threw three shots in a row into the water at Trophy Lakes at a tournament a few years ago on #10 blue and took a 10 on the hole. The wind kept turning each disc over including an Xcalibur and each landed in the middle of the finger of the lake and not even close to land. I finally got across with a Firebird that I threw about 100 feet straight and 150 feet to the left between #11 white teepad and #12 basket.

That is the most horrific story I have ever heard. Funny, but terrible. I would have dove in.

Trophy Lakes....I'm down visiting in SC this week and this is on my to do list. Hoping I don't have any contributions to this thread....:wall:

In a tournament at Stoney Hill, a guy threw 4 in a row in the pond, then threw his bag in the pond, and quit.

The bag was retrieved.
