After years of frustration attempting to return discs to numbers no longer in service or golfers who can't seem to figure out the "I'm putting it under this trash can, you can get it if you want it" kind of arrangements I got tired of failing to return discs.
Now, when I find a lost disc (which happens a lot) I check for a name -- If there's a name and if I know the person (which happens a lot) I give it back to them. If there's no name or I don't know the person (which happens a lot), I just put it right back where it was as if I never saw it.
Word.
After a couple seasons of raking, and meeting people on their terms, I got more hard lined.
I'll be here at this time, can't make a special trip to you.
Sure I'll ship, pay my gas, time, and postage costs.
Here a list of dozens of discs, tagging names on several groups on Facebook. Please donate if you see your disc, I spent hours retrieving these for you.
If you don't have some extra bucks, why are you playing in the tournament?
Which finally led to....
Screw it, I'll text you if I see your disc, and move it somewhere not obvious on the course.
Now, since I'm not pressured to meet 40 different people on their own terms, on different days, disc golf is less stressful.
I know a guy that literally throws them back into the water, doesn't have time for your nonsense. Just trying to get his disc back and go home.
