April Fools: Disc Golf Edition!

[Billy K2]

Hey guys! In honor of April Fools Day, what is the most FOOLISH thing you have ever done on a disc golf course. It could be a foolish shot, a bad disc purchase, or anything else related to disc golf. Personally, mine would be buying a Cheetah driver

I just realized I put this is the wrong forum *Facepalm*

 

[bradharris]

Chose not to buy into the ace pot at league one time. Hit an ace in that round :doh:

 

[BirdieMachine]

Playing some of the worst courses in my area, waste of gas money, waste of time. I live close to BRP so going out and playing some dog tracks farther away was foolish.

Now that's just cruel

Bought a Groove:doh:

 

[UncleSweat]

Tried to throw a 360 drive next to Lake Ontario.

 

[djcadence]

I bought a 100 M Lazer, which I quickly renamed the fried bologna disc!

I basically do something foolish every round I ever play.

I tried to throw a huge forehand shot on a hole once, probably at the maximum range of which I am capable of doing so. I was trying to throw so hard, my form got all messed up and I actually ended up straining/pulling a glute muscle. Running joke every time I am considering a big forehand with any of the same group of players... "Don't pull your ass this time, Ken!"

 

[DiscJunkie]

Threw my back out on the 13th hole, throwing a hard thumber from a straddle stance.
Kept on playing, quit after the 15th hole and missed a week of work.
If I'd quit after I felt it snap, i would've been over it in a day or two

Sitting in a parking lot at a local course after a round once. I had a pickup at the time, and had a Playmate cooler with the about 18 beers and the empty case sitting near us on the tailgate. Drinking is allow on the course, not in the parking lot though. We were not drinking, but the local park ranger (cop authority, unbeknownst to us at the time) stops anyway. No big deal, I would be happy to converse, I knew the rules. He starts by asking if we are stupid, or just don't think rules apply to us. Taken aback we play confused.....cause, we were. He accuses us of drinking in the parking lot and grabs the empty case container. We had about three beers apiece during the round, so pretty far from drunk. He states the rules of no drinking in the parking lot, to which we obviously proclaim innocence and give him respect. He then asks to see what is in the cooler, we comply. He states he will let us off but we need to turn over the beer. We kind of laugh this off, thinking he must be jesting. Tells us he is writing us public drinking tickets or we give him the beer or open and dump it. No more laughing it off, we both get a bit testy at the false accusation and the demands for our beer. A pretty terse and hot discussion ensues and I lose it and start really giving it to the ranger. He has me against the truck as two more park officers pull up. They intervene and cool off the situation and realize we were really doing nothing wrong. But, because of my foolish outburst over the beer, we are escorted from the park anyway. Making us drive to play a second round. Sometimes it is wiser to keep a cool head, especially with law enforcement.

I feel foolish when my mind goes to a worst-case scenario situation (especially on blind shots). Oftentimes I'll be pessimistic and think that my lie is much further away from the basket than it actually is. Whenever I'm looking in the rough for a disc in the fairway, it makes me feel a bit foolish (yet relieved)!

That post just made my day! :thmbup:

1st tree contact-->rebound-->behind the teepad is always good for a few laughs.

 

[DiscDraft]

When I was really fresh to the sport I once threw a speed 11 driver on a 216 ft. hole, and I didn't see the group in front of me due to tree cover around the basket, and managed to get pretty close to the basket while the course pro was putting out. He is not a fella known for a cool temper...took some time for me to live that one down.

I remember doing that to a tree about 6-7 times before I finally got a good and straight shot off. That's why my middle initial is T. T for tree. Nah, T for Terrence but when playing wooded courses, T for tree definitely. I was lucky the disc was a Champ TL, DX would have waffled and I did that to a DX Leopard once, waffled, tacoed, whatever...

 

[Stardoggy]

Now that I think of it...had a time,when I stuck behind two trees, about 5'. I lined up for a forehand, and my buddy was behind me a couple feet, off to the left. I proceed to let it fly, it hits tree A, bounces straight left, hits tree B, bounces directly backwards, right into my buddy's johnson. He is staggered, and stumbles back, and falls over a rock. Of course, I can't stop laughing.

To this day, we exclaim "watch your ding" when we're throwing out of the woods.

And the group behind you on the tee just stares at you like opcorn:

Threw my well seasoned buzz into the pond instead of using a putter for an upshot
