Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

[Midnightbiker]

When ever I hear someone holler "Fore" I duck and cover my head and face, and listen for the disc to hit the ground. I think the worse thing you can do is look around. That's like running to the window when you hear gun shots to see where they are coming from. I hear gun shots, I get down. Then I make reservations at UHaul for a truck so I can move.

I saw a bunch of guys out in the woods practicing bagpipe music. They probably got run out of wherever else they were playing. Sounded pretty weird.

A bunch of kids always use the tee pad for hole 4 at the Benedict park course as a bike parking zone. I guess cause its near the soccer field.

Thanks City of Brighton for building a random concrete slab near the soccer fields for us...

I don't now why, but that made me fall out of my chair laughing.

This last Saturday while it was raining pretty hard I was waiting with my card to tee off on the next hole when the group behind yells "fore!" I look up to see an orange drive with a lot of speed bookin straight for me. Like a deer in headlights I stood there frozen trying to figure out if its going to fade or keep on the same line. About 20 feet away from me, no joke, I realize its on target to hit me in the junk. I felt like I was in the Matrix as I turned left and bent backwards, allowing it to pass right next to my ass. We all had a good laugh about that.

ROFL!

Thanks for making me spit Dr.Pepper all over my keyboard.


That is why when I hear "Fore" I do the "duck and cover".

 

[A.Mutt]

LMAO ... you're welcome. ;P Coincidentally I was taking a drink of the good Dr. when I read that and almost spit some up.

Is hole 4 the one downhill and 50ft or so to the right, playing towards the parking lot? If so, not even a hawk attack could take away my love for that hole. 5, on the other hand, is my arch nemesis.

No, you're thinking of 3. And yeah, 4 is kind of a dick sometimes. The tee just feels goofy.

Why is it that these events always seem to happen where there's a dg course? I've seen similar things at 3 different courses.

My best guess:
Because they want a semi-wooded place no one will bitch about them being there.

I saw this about 2 weeks ago, in Conroe, TX and SpingdgLover was with me , so I am sure he remembers this.

There was three of us, so we let a guy playing solo play through. He had his bag on his shoulder, and he was carrying a trash bag. At first I thought he was cleaning the course as he played, and I thought that was really nice of him. Then after watching him dig through a trash can, I realized, he was collecting the beer, and soda cans. I thought to myself " Now thats a way to help pay for some more discs". Heck, imagine how much extra money you could make with all the cans you see laying around the course. Last time I checked, its 24 -12 oz cans = 1lb. I haven't checked the price of cans in a while but it used to be about 65 cents a pound.

That is a true "you know you are addicted..."

Dude is homeless and still plays.

 

[Camgolfer]

I have seen trash cans on courses that rival bar dumpsters with the amount of beer cans and bottles overflowing. I bet you could get some sweet cash from all the recycling.

Come to think of it, he really wasn't dressed well....

of course neither was I.

I was on hole 14 at West Park in Joliet, IL and I had a terrible first shot into a tree only 50 feet in front of me. I couldn't see the basket because it was behind a bunch of trees, my buddy was standing to the left of the basket and said "it's right here, aim for me and you'll be good". So I did. I tomahawk'd it right for him, it spun a ton in the air and was heading right for him. At the last second, he jumped out of the way, but the disc took a hard turn and hit him right in the junk!! It was a 175g Pro Valkyrie. He was on the floor for 5 minutes. At the time, we played where if you hit someone in the group, you got a stroke taken off for the hole. I "birdied" the hole.

Oh man, that is damn funny

I just read your close encounter. You even used the term junk. I love this site.

Memorial Day I was at the course, and there was a large group at the Pavilion that is across the park from the course. Some clown had the bright idea to bring some 4-wheelers to the park, and were riding them through the park and cutting in front of us and riding all over the course tearing up the grass. I was really pissed about that. I think the only way they got away with it was the Park Ranger that usually patrols was off for the holiday.

 

[grube.fresh]

played with a large group 2day, memorial day. i knew the course would filled with non disc golfers. what i didnt expect was that the baskets were reserved like camp sites and hotdogs were easier to get than birdies. happy holidays.
