Still a puppy
I lost 2 discs in 1 day on the same hole during 2 different rounds. Though I did end up getting them back like 2 months later.

So I was right about that (couldn't remember if it was a par six or I thought it should be), I remembered something about a par six, which I had never seen before. I couldn't see why the designers justified the lack of a playable line by assigning a par 6 to a 600 some odd foot hole. Is there any other par 6 in disc or ball golf? This was the only time I had seen it ever.

Shortly after i began playing, I knew that I had resolved the old archer vs. arrow debate and it was definitely the arrow. I had an Orc that was basically telepathic. It knew what I wanted it to do and understood me in a way my other discs did not.
It was with that in mind that I stepped up to the 270' water carry with the Orc in hand. I studied the trees on the far bank and felt supremely confident that the disc would easily avoid anything that might threaten to knock it back into the water.
I did the weird, crow hop run-up I was into at the time and let fly at almost a full 90 degrees right of my intended target. The Orc hit a tree on the NEAR side of the bank and fluttered about 60' from the tee and promptly sank.
I grabbed my bag from the tee and and ran up a peninsula that jutted out into the water to see if I could catch a glimpse of the Orc somewhere in the depths. I leaned over to look into the water. It was at that moment that my bag, having not had the top pocket zipped before i grabbed it, decided to release my car keys which trickled off the top of my head and then also fell into the water and sank. Despite them falling into the water literally right in front of me, I never found them again. I had to bum a ride to the house for a key and then have my wife drive me back to the course for the car.
Also I have thrown lots of other bad shots.
There is one par 6 at the Lucky 8 in Lavalette, WV. Going off of the hole info, I believe it's hole 12. The short tee is listed as a par 5 at 518 ft, but the long tee (the one we played) is a par 6 at somewhere over 600 ft. And let me tell you, it's legit. It's kind of in the shape of a 7 and the entire hole is very heavily wooded. You start off throwing through a 6 ft tunnel, avoid the hill sloping down to the right, curve right and make it around a mando on the upper right section of the 7, then throw uphill through more trees, through a double mando, then downhill towards the basket, which I believe sits behind a big tree. All of this, while still having a clear and fair (even if incredibly tight) fairway.
Johnny (course designer) tells people, "If you can get a 4, I'll change it to a 5." Pretty sure no one's gotten a 4 on it yet. Maybe not even him, and he's a world champ. I was playing particularly well that day and was super happy about my 7 on that hole. Happiest I've ever been for a 7 matter of fact.
That's the "question mark" hole out there right? I've always wanted to play that course and meet Sias. My buddies from Charlotte who know Johnny tell me there is no cooler guy in disc golf. He makes everyone throwing premium plastic look like chumps with how he flings those DX oldies.
I've been to Sias' course and I'll add another "he's a great guy" to this... I can't remember another course with a cemetery on it. It plays as OB so...really, don't go OB.
There's actually a 19th century cemetery on my course, hence the name graveyard hill dgc. It doesn't come into play as it's technically owned by the local historical society, but you walk through it between holes.
That is bad!Kept thinking how much more fun I could have if I were cleaning the garage. If you're playing DG and you'd rather be cleaning the garage...that's bad.
