Wait, bluetooth avoids the inverse square law? Is it directional? It is approximately a point source, right?
(No cell phone here, either, for what it's worth.)
Everyone got onto the OP for spelling disk....so......
How is your disc going to pick up the milk?
How does a disc endorse a check at the bank?
How could a disc possibly drop the kids off at soccer practice?
Wow! You got me there. :\
Now if we ever play a round of golf, be sure to keep an eye and ear on your disks.

Rocking the prepaid flip phone with built-in clock. After initially paying for $100 worth of minutes 8 years ago from T-Mobile for each me and the wife I now spend $30 per year to keep the minutes alive. I can't text or play Angry Birds while driving but it does free up funds to purchase 100 disks per year.
Uhhhh...
That sounds pretty damn offensive to me. You're not talking about people, are you?

Welcome to DGCR. This junk happens on the regular. I'm actually amazed all the typical elitist responses were in the same thread.

How not to lose a disc?
Keep an eye and ear on it until you're sure it's stopped moving. I see too many people who throw an errand shot instantly get POed, turn around and start complaining about the bad throw and not even try to track it as it goes off the fairway thru a bunch of trees.
I'll give one warning to "that" person in my group, after that they can look for their own disc.
Another method, learn how to throw accurately while you brag about the 450' distance you have.
Totally agree Jay Dub. When I go discing, at least one person has their eyes on the disc, usually the thrower but that I would think would be the thing that makes the most sense: Keep your eyes on the disc and the area it landed in. I tried going with 6+ people and a bunch of, which I found out later, idiots and people who were immature and sorely lacked in the etiquette department. I just kept my eye on my discs because I wasn't gonna keep tracking their errant shots, after I had showed each and every one of them how to throw, without being wild or going out of control.
Uhhhh...
No Blackboys are a native bush to Australia here is a explination for it

They grow very big and have many sharp ended spikes, my course is covered in them and make's it very hard to locate the lost disk without poking your eye out.
Dam you cought me out !
You guys are right, a highly radioactive disk would work better.
I'll just fire up the cyclotron and make one.
will get back to you and let you know how it go's.

What did you expect?
On the internet there is no greater sin than trying to be helpful while making a spelling or grammatical error.
guruof7, it's just not terribly practical. Unless you play with just one or two discs, it would cost a small fortune to outfit the bagful or more that many people carry. All for the benefit of speeding up disc searches---because many of us rarely lose discs on land, so it would mostly just speed up the inevitable finding of the disc.
I have only just started playing this sport down the local course that's been up the road for many years, with my small group.
We like to throw a few disks at a time for parcatice on two holes back and forth. we found ourself's spending half the time searching for the disks and less time throwing. I like to think of ways to improve situations, so i tried this and it works great. So being the nice guy that I am i looked for a way to share it and came accross this website.
If you have many disk's you just use the one Tile and velcro it to the centre.
if it may come off you just find it again with your phone.
so for $25 for a years worth of throwing you have insurance on your disk and save time.
Is that such a bad thing ???
Of course this would not be good for pro's more for the amature. If this idea could be shared on a better website then let me know.
Interesting outlook I think.
So with that theory many idea's may never be shared because someone is to scared to type it out and make a spelling mistake.
Well I have never been good at spelling but I have learnt not to worry about it, mostly due to spell check, wich I may add this site does not have !
