Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

[zud00]

A few weeks ago I was playing on a course that plays along a busy walkway with many walkers. I threw my drive parallel to a walking path and landed maybe 10 feet off to the left of it. I picked up my bag and started walking towards it when I see a man and his wife walking my direction on the path. The man changes direction and heads towards my disc, picks it up, and continues walking towards me. He says, "What do you do? Throw it and chase it?"

Similar thing happened to me, I tee off and a teen watching me asks, "Did you expect someone to catch that and throw it back?" I point to the baskets and introduce him to disc golf.

Played a couple of rounds today and saw some nice birdies...

Saw a beautiful Red Headed Woodpecker at Burke Lake Park, then went to Giles Creek where we saw a large Hawk or Eagle swoop down and take a perch on a tree located in the middle of the fairway for Hole 9.

Pretty cool

Were you there when it was windy? We played Brighton and then went to Expo but gave up after a few holes cause of the wind... Hope your round was better than ours.

You guys are right, I love watching the hawks fly around my home course. There usually seems to be at least 3 just cruising around over top #8 and #9.

I was walking from #15 basket to the #16 tee at my home course which is quite wooded. I stopped in my tracks when I spotted a Copperhead coming right down the path . It scared my so bad the hair on my arms stood straight. My brother was with me and didn't believe how scared I was till he saw my arms and said" damn, that did scare you". This is one of the reasons I really don't like playing this course alone. Lots of hazards out there.

One time when I was looking for my disc in an open field I heard a rattle. I immediately thought it was a snake and quickly grabbed my disc and moved back to the fairway. In all fairness it was probably a bug of some kind.

There are a pair of hawks that hang at Vallarta-Ast in Madison. On # 1 there is a skinny tree on the right hand side. Only tree on that side. One of the hawks was perched in that tree one day last summer. I tee off and my disc lands in the center of the fairway. The hawk swoops down and lands next to my disc. He'/she doesn't move until I was less than 40' away. The hawks are fun to watch. This course is only a few miles from the airport and nearly everyday the Air Guard does training that involves circling over the course in preparation for landing. If you are on the fairway on #18 when they start this manouvere overhead, you can see into the cockpit. Seriously, the planes are banked so severely that you can see the pilots helmets. Pretty low on some days. Less than a 1000' for sure, maybe closer. Those jets are fun to watch.

We were out throwing one day in february at Badlands in CO so the pond was frozen. The guys in front of us threw a disc probably forty feet from the shore and were trying to get it back for a while, we played through than one of my buddies let them use his golden retriever for a bit finally they got frustrated and the skinnier one walked out on the ice a couple steps, got on his stomach and and made his way out to the disc. We watched him as he slowly made his way to his disc, grabbed it threw it back to shore than made his way back. It was very seal like really. We played maybe a week later at that course and all the ice had melted already, the things we do for discs...

Not the funniest thing, but it was pretty funny tonight. At Paschall Park I started on #3 to jump ahead of a couple foursomes playing #1 & #2 so I finally get around to wrapping back to #2 to finish up and there's a family down at the basket tossing a disc. Not at the basket, but just playing catch with it.

I look wait a second to see if they see me and are going to move out of the way but they're pretty oblivious to what's going on around them. Then I see the dog...

He's attached to the basket... and he's not going anywhere....

Eventually I have to yell down to them and ask if they'll please move their dog so I can throw....

 

[A.Mutt]

A dog tied to a disc golf basket so the owners are free to toss a catch disc. Now that's ironic.

Poor little guy probably just wanted to play.

I was literally attacked today in Asheboro, NC on hole 4. Twice. By a hawk. I was walking to my nice drive that left me about a 20' putt for birdie when I hear a whoosh past my head, making me duck, and I see a red tail hawk fly past my head. It flies up into a tree and turns around and then locks eyes with me. At this point I'm thinking, "You motherf..." and before I can finish the thought the hawk takes wing straight at my face. I turtled my head into my shoulders and ran off to the side. You have no idea how hard it is to sink a putt while looking over your shoulder for hawk attacks.

 

[Midnightbiker]

Eric, I must know if you explained the game of Disc Golf to them. Did they understand what the basket was for?

 

[The Dude]

How often do you play at paschall?
