Freak Incidents on the Course.

[The Last DJ]

My old roomie absolutely destroyed a pigeon in flight with a viper forehand years ago. Around that same time another buddy threw into the back of a pickup that was passing by on the street. Both were at Gillies Creek.

Were you playing a round with Randy Johnson?

 

[Aim For The Chains]

I threw a great drive with a pin that sits on a hillside and the previous holes tee is on top of that hill with both groups shooting at each other but not in anyway hazardous. I release my drive a 2fer (not even playing but tagging along with friends) come running down the hill not paying attention to anything (one is practicing color guard moves with a stick) and as my disc is flexing out perfectly to fade at the basket it drills one of the kids across the chest.

It was one of the weirdest timed things and was like watching it in slow motion. Everyone was yelling at him but it was like the disc and him were suppose to meet at that time and place lol. Hard to put into words as we were not just throwing on someone and I don't think it could ever be replicated again due to how the disc was starting to finish and his running down the hill.

A couple years after the minivan incident this happened on the same course.

Crappy cellphone video of the car

I actually just mashed a dude in the shin yesterday with a firebird FH. We were playing a private course and the group in front of us waved us in. I was the second to tee and threw a nice hard FH. One of the guys in the group decided it would be the perfect time to walk TOWARD the basket and before I could say anything he got a nice stiff champion firebird right in the shin. He fell and started rolling around. We walked up expecting blood but there was just a nice purple line on his shin. Don't wave people in...

Saturday, I tee'd off on hole #1 at RVZ park in Green Cove Springs FL.

I turned my stalker over, and it proceeded to go through a convertible Mustang's passenger window (that was open) and out through the driver side door (that was open).

I'm just thankful it didn't hit glass.


Anyone else have embarrassing Freak Incidents?:doh:

I'm sorry but I don't believe this for one second.

 

[Royalhghnss]

Not really embarrassing (except for how bad my drive was), but I threw off top of the world hole 27 at DeLa, and my disc skipped off the top of a guy's disc that was driving on 1, while BOTH discs were in the air.

 

[ILackDiscance]

I'm sorry but I don't believe this for one second.

I wish I didn't have the story to tell. Luckily it was an older lady. She picked it up and the first thing she said is "can I just throw it back to you like a regular old Frisbee?" I just smiled and said Yes maam. Then I went ahead and made sure everything was alright..

It could have been a lot worse. But whether or not you believe me, it happened :\

Another one- playing at Kelsey Scott park in Salisbury, guy I was playing with threw his disc way right while a train was passing, and it flew at just the right time to get pinched by a wheel, smashed a nice trench right down the middle of the disc. He still keeps it in his bag.

There's a ~310' hole parallel to a road, with the basket 50' left of the road. I saw a guy turn over a line drive towards the road, just as an oncoming car was driving past the basket. It went through the passenger window and hit the passenger right in the head/shoulder. It was pretty amusing seeing him go over to ask for his disc back (which was still in the car)...

I have no idea how those angles add up, but it definitely happened...and probably never could again.

Something similar happened to me except it was with a wooden boomerang that I found during field practice. A buddy of mine decided to try it out after we finished a round. It came right back at us, skipped off the concrete and into the open passenger side window of my car.

I think OP is telling the truth. Have you ever seen anyone except an "older lady" driving a Mustang convertible? Since this is a universal truth, I will bet the rest of the details are also true. :thmbup:

Probably less spectacular but I had a putter drive take out a passing catbird. Easy birdie hole. I couldn't make two on the thing for a while afterwards. Ghost of catbird haunting me.

We were playing at Z Boaz a few years ago, I think it's hole 4 or 5 that throws downhill with a road on the right. Mild headwind that picks up when my friend throws his Nuke, turns more than expected, over the road. There's a van coming right at it. The disc drops right before it gets to the van only to skip up and bang, right into the hood, where it wedged like an ornament.

It was so loud we were sure the van was going to stop. It didn't. Just drove on by while we stood staring with our jaws dropped as it disappeared around the corner.

Crazy...

Someone I was playing with hit a cop car on that hole, he didn't stop either.

Just funny though...the one time a car was hit it happens to be a cop.

 

[whentherainscome]

Playing a tournament, someone on the card ahead of us decided he had to sprint to collect a disc he left behind right as I was playing my fairway shot. He ran right into my shot, swatted it out of the air and keeps running. No acknowledgement or anything.

Last Wed was our first week of singles league, and I got hit in the leg by a noob hyzer from a group of casuals. Again, no acknowledgment, apology, nothin'. Right in my calf meat, still bruised. I'm just glad I didn't get hit by, you know, a competent player.

I saw a Hippie shank a drive. I considered it a freak Incident.

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

One time at Central, hole 1, I saw a guy noob hyzer a disc into the bed of a passing Chevy Silverado. The truck just kept on driving. I laughed like a madman.

 

[mikeykline]

I had only been playing for about 2 months when I hit a cop car on hole 4 at Turner park in Grand Prairie, TX. I threw a roller over the hill and ran over because it looked like it was going to cut roll, then BAM cop car was in the way. The topper of it all was the cop rolled up with the lights on and stopped, laughed and said "You suck and you're OB." D'OH!

My girlfriend griplocked a drive that flew through the open sliding-glass doors of a house neighboring the course. She sheepishly followed it and an elderly lady came out holding the disc and said, "This landed right in the middle of the living room as I was watching TV and gave me quite a fright!" My girlfriend replied, "I'm so sorry- my mom would be so ashamed of me right now."

The old hippie, hippie shank, huh?

These kids are not going to get that one.
