Do you say Tree Hate? Or is Tree Love Applicable to Hitting Trees in General?

[Midnightbiker]

I like this hole...appears to be a big sweeping L to R lane as well as many local routes....elevation and woods and a concrete tee always fun! Nice tee sign as well.....probably one of those 3 one day 5 the next type of holes.

There is a route on the left side. If you have a good forearm shot, its easy to hit. Most of the time I just shoot right down the middle and hope for the best.

Man we have all kinds of treeisms. Tree Love. Tree hate. Tree apathy. Tree rape.

 

[discjon]

Tree Hate is the most common one around here.



...and I say it way, way too much.

Tree Love = good kick off tree
Tree Hate = bad kick into the rough
Treenied = hit a tree early and doesn't get very far from your lie

Tree Love = good kick off tree
Tree Hate = bad kick into the rough
Treenied = hit a tree early and doesn't get very far from your lie

Don't forget the all-important invisitree and my least favorite, the invisibranch.

Never heard any of these...Yeah, I need to get out more. The last of the slop rules that my friends and I still cling to is the '50 foot rule'. Hit a tree close to the tee and that's what someone will say. Essentially, mulligan. Do over. I'd rather keep moving than wait for someone to throw from behind the tee in a horrible lie. Speeds up the round. especially like today when i'm the only one of 5 keeping score.

...

i say "tree love"

and
"I hear a disc crying".... <- 1 tree could be a $15 mistake.
but tree hate, never.... (i have never heard it in context either.)

"Tree Jail" <- when you are stuck without a forward shot......

in my parts as long as the disc flies forward and we get decent "Penetration" we're all good.

 

[optidiscic]

and never ever forget about....The evil tree behind the tree!

 

[RHINESEL]

"Thank you Treesus!" in an evangelist voice. Heard it on a video once and have been saying it ever since.

"Bad tree!" Like scolding a dog when the bounce doesn't go your way.

 

[cydisc]

I believe any deflection from a tree hit is the tree's attempt to destroy the disc that has hit it. It's purely involuntary reaction. I don't think emotion comes into play.

 

[WillACarpenter]

second this

I'm pretty sure we both, out loud, said Treenied on Thursday.

[flippa]

its tree love or hate around these parts or tree bender, which is what i call my friend who throws discs at trees and still aviods them

 

[jkdisc]

trees were here 1st. so i got no hate.

 

[FernValleyDGC]

I'm a tree hugger so its always tree love. If it heads away from the fairway I say it was treejected. Tree + rejected.

 

[dahig]

"hey...if your gonna chop it,CHOP IT DOWN!!!"

that way I won't be hittin' it.

 

[shoe59]

no hate...just love, or lack thereof.

same here too

 

[clubcarib]

We say "Live by the trees, die by the trees."

We've also thrown around the idea of making a disc with a retractable Japanese Katana blade that would pop out after your throw to cut through those pesky small branches that you never think about, but dramatically change the flight pattern of your disc.

Treenial, Treejected, Treenied...

Praise Treesus!

I have a love/hate relationship with trees. Mostly they hate me, really.
