Returning Lost Discs

[leeshelton]

The course I play at in McKinney TX has a creek winding through it. People regularly throw discs in. I lost an Ion to the water yesterday. I was in clothes I was unwilling to soil so I came back today. I found my disc and 13 others.

I don't ink my disc for 2 reasons. 1) I don't like the way it looks and 2) I don't expect people to return a disc they were willing to go after and I wasn't.

What are your thoughts on returning discs?

please don't start this thread please don't start this thread please don't start this thread....

this is a subject that has been talked to death on these boards. if it has ink, call the number at least once. if it doesn't, ask other groups on the course if they have lost a disc... if nothing happens, freebie.

Towne Lake is a great spot to pick up a ton of lost discs. It has treacherously steep banks in a lot of spots. I usually just find singles here and there and if there is a name, I at the very least call the owner and leave a message. I've been treated very well in the past by good Samaritans returning valued discs to me, so I do what I can to be helpful.

Your situation is a little different in that you have a ****e ton of plastic to call on. If it's a beat in roc w/ a pdga #, return it. If it is a groove or dx sidewinder or some mess, do what you like. It's obviously your call, I would just use discretion and try to return what I would consider a huge loss if I lost it myself.

"spurts" is one of those words that sounds strange after ive read it a few times.

Lee, we play a mini at 6 every wednsday at Alex Clark. If you want to try and return some, bring them out around 5:30.

To answer your original question. I started putting my name on discs our of curiosity. I've got through so many over the years, I think it is interesting if they show up again after you haven't seen it in years. The main reason for putting names on them is if you play in PDGA events a rule states you have to have a unique mark on your discs.

To the OP, if you're wondering how to delete a thread, this is how. Get people talking about spurting, and it gets landfilled. :thmbup:

If it has a name and number, call. Especially if it's my name and number since you mentioned my home course.
