You know where Ricta lives? And we'd never been there, so we got a little turned around trying to find the entrance. Either way, it's a longer drive, and there was just not much gratitude demonstrated. In fact, there wasn't.

Perhaps he was having a bad round, paired with having to leave right away for a trip to Europe?

He was signing autographs when Ricta walked up to him, and smiling...then just seemed to blow him off. Then afterwards, same thing.

Yet another reason to keep discs with no phone number on 'em. uts on flame retardant suit:

Ha thats funny.
I don't think I would have figured out what "WS" meant.

That is too bad though. Sometimes people are just cranky, I know I am every now and then.

What a bummer dude. I was hoping for a more positive ending for you. Oh well it could've been worse I guess.

At PW2007, I lost a really important Orc in one of the doubles rounds.
While looking for that disc, I found Ken "Tank" Franks Starfire. After the round, I saw him and went up to him. He was talking with KC about losing that disc and how upset he was. I said "oh Ken, here it is. I found it during the round." Well, he was stoked, obviously.
I then said "yeah I was looking for my Orc on that hole. I'm hoping that returning this disc to you will get me some karma."
Then KC says "oh yeah, I meant to tell you, I found it" and had it with him.
Probably my favorite lost disc story - no b/c it involved KC, just that three people involved happened to be all talking about the discs being lost and we had them all through other people.

Tank is one of the nicest guys I've met. He is always a blast to play with at league.

Same here. Maybe a month from now while dozing off or something I might have put it together.
Everyone is entitled to a bad day but, being a sponsored player, it is his job is to suck it up and be cheerful while promoting his brand and sport. A simple thanks and maybe a handshake goes a long ways.
Well said!

Agreed, they're human, and subject to all the shortcomings we all have. I have crappy days, too, but If anyone ever comes to return one of my discs, and I don't say "thank you," please punch me in the mouth and keep the disc.
^ this. All he had to do was extend simple common courtesy, and this thread's a lot shorter, and no one thinks he's a DB.
I'd say he's earned it. Granted, you have a small sample size to judge him by, but how cool he is to others doesn't matter to me. I judge people by how they interact with me... it's hard to base your opinions on how they interact with others.True! Will signed it too...but I might acetone that part
Just my 2 cents worth...

Sounds very unlike him, i dont know him personally at all, but my friends shop sponsors him and he has always gushed about what a nice kid he is. Not just around mixed company but in private as well.
Im not surprised though, he's a young guy, and im sure touring is stressful as hell. But if i were you id be a little bummed also, im sure he does appreciate you doing that, maybe youll see him in the future and your next encounter will be more pleasant.

It is so sad to have someone fail to live up to your expectations.

Haha! Oh man I wasn't expecting it at all! 360 on a HUGE uphill...that's why he's the Champ!

This is exactly it. Before I gave the disc to him, everyone was saying "maybe he'll let you keep it" or "maybe he'll give you something for it." That would've been a bonus...but I wasn't expecting either of those to happen. Just a simple conversation with a top professional was okay with me. I was pumped for a cool story later on, but that's out the window now. Oh well, I did the right thing.
