Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

[jedwards]

So, today I had one of the best drives I have thrown in a while only to have it attempted to be thrown back at me. I threw a beauty off the 9th tee at my home course and just watched it land -- only to then see this woman come jogging off the walking trail who then proceeds to pick up my disc and attempt to throw it back to me, as if we are playing catch. Much to my dismay she didn't have the best form and she skyrocketed my driver into the woods where it stuck about 30 feet up in a tree. I spent the next 20 minutes throwing tree branches at it to get it down. So much for my 9th hole birdie.

I hate when that happens....

I had my Sidewinder picked up and carried off by a dog at a tourney at Jack Brooks Park back in February. After I threw my drive and everyone else has tee'd off we're walking up the fairway when a women comes by with a couple dogs and asks "If anyone lost a Frisbee?". Not only does she not remember where her dog picked it up but then she has to fight with her dog to get back my now chewed up Sidewinder.

We really need to educate the public.

While playing a course with my wife I explained to her that people write their name on the basket with a sharpie after an ace. When we got to a basket on a hole with a very long, narrow, pinball fairway my wife noticed that someone had aced it and she was proud to annouce that it was a female name. I looked back down the fairway to the tee and confirmed that this hole was impossible to ace and told my wife that there is no way someone could ace that hole. When I looked at the name I got the joke. The name was Nita Bonghit.

I'm one of the few drug free disc golfers out there but I still thought this was funny.

I found a Gazzelle on near a basket today and looked at the name on the back. I tried to call the number, but it was out of service. My brother took a long look at the name, and relized the name was not real. Here is what was written on the back of the disc:

"Uri Cancome"-Say it slowly and you get the joke. I thought it was strange. The disc was pretty beat, so I guess they left it on purpose.

I must be slow. I said it slow I said it fast I ran it by some co workers. I don't get it.

"You or I can come"

 

[sidewinding]

I think that's a real name.

Dirty minded, pot smoking loosers.

Losers or Loosers?

 

[sidewinding]

Wait. You mean some Disc Golfers use drugs?

Man, I better quit the sport quick...Disc Golf could be a "Gateway" drug!

I found a beat up Valkyrie in the brush a few weeks ago. When I got home I called the number on the disc. The guy asked me where I found it and I told him #15 at Token Creek. Where's Token Creek, he asks? Its in Madison, Wisconsin. The guy says thanks for calling, but you can keep the disc because I am in Phoenix.
Thats a long throw.

the other week, I found a cat! really small kitten that looked starved. Real deep in the woods. Was going to name it DG, but the girlfriend didnt want it hanging around the house....it was a black cat.

Weirdest:

A few weeks ago, my wife and I were sitting on a picnic table between holes when a baby chipmunk ran out of the bushes and climbed right up to us.

Considering the fact that rabies is rare in small rodents and the unlikeliness of this tiny guy being able to break skin anyway, I let him jump into my palm, and he climbed around on our arms for a few minutues. Every time we put him down he'd come back.

I finally had to put him in the hedge and run to the next tee so that he wouldn't try to follow.

the best of luck

I was having a terrible round putting in the wind at my local (parque rufino tamayo mexico) as was my mate, i jokingly said that id teach him how to put if he liked, as i lined up my 15m putt.
My disc hit the top of the basket and skipped off, only to be blown back into the basket by the wind!!

I went back to the Uk for a quick holiday recently, i bought a green esp 175 pred. Not a disc that floats. Hole 11 runs along side a slow but flowing river. My fore hand turned over and banked towards the river, a gonner i though, but it skipped of a concrete mooring in the river, and then skipped across the water eventually settling ON TOP of the water supported but the pocket of air below it. It took about 30 mins to foat back to a part of hte bank where i could reach it, but it right out in the middle.

So I went for a swim. Cant look a gift horse in the mouth now can you!

Playing my home course, Central Park in Southaven, MS. 11 and 12 play with a ditch to the right, and I'm familiar with it. I shank 11 off into the ditch, and it takes me a while to find it. I make my throw back up, and as I walk up, I hear something crash through the branches. Well, I have been in there a while, so I think maybe some people futher back caught up to me. I look for a disc, but am suprised to see a dimpled white ball roll about 5 feet in front of me. I look back at the teepad, and some schmo is hitting golf balls from beside the teepad to the basket. He sees me and waves apolagetically. I finish the hole and head to 12 (you have to backtrack somewhat from 11's basket to 12's tee) -- I guess he thought I was out of the way, so he starts hitting again. I make my drive, and as I am not even 10 feet off the teepad, I hear a ball bounce off of it. I turn around and shoot him a not-so-friendly look. I didn't say anything, though -- just hurried up out of his range. As I come back down 16, I see him walk back into the neighborhood that borders the course.

The thing is, if he had walked less than 200 yards, he would have had a wide open field across the road where EVERY OTHER PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN HITTING GOLF BALLS IN THAT PARK HITS THEM!!!! I guess he was wanting to use the baskets with a defined yardage. Too bad his aim was so bad.

I still wonder what he would have thought if I decided to try an uphill throw with my Sidewinder or Orc, just for practice......

It'd be even funnier if he thought he was crushing 300 yard drives off the tee... not realizing that DG holes are measured in feet...

This was many years ago playing at a local park that had some exercise equipment, chin up bars and stuff. We used to play it all the time as an object course, real courses were rare at the time. We had been playing for a while and someone called the next hole as the bench behind the ROTC Tower. It was a blind spike hyzer shot on the other side of a 40' high tower. Well I chucked my eclipse way up high and watched it curve around the tower, I knew it would be close. So I walk around the tower and there's this girl doing sit ups listening to her walkman completely oblivious to the fact that my eclipse is tombstoned in the ground like 4' from her head. I casually walked up grabbed the disc waved and finished the hole and after that we always checked the blind holes first.

P.S. I dueced th hole

I was playing the ice bowl at Burke Lake in VA in Feb. There were high winds and it was an interesting first round. Well I was practicing my putting in said wind before the second round on a temp basket. I hear a crack and kind of look around and all of a sudden a pine tree falls between me and the basket and crushes a nearby picnic bench. No one was hurt but it definitely freaked me out a bit. The tree falling caused the basket to fall over and the second round was suspended.
