Scenerio: European Open. Hole 16. Anthony Barela needs to make his shot onto the island. He misses repeatedly.
Most of us have one or two 'go to' discs for certain distances/shots. Robbie C and the Foundation crew attempted to make the same shot (they recreated the hole). Afterwards, they tested the 'question', if the first disc you threw was your best option to make the island, could you run and get the disc, run back and throw within your 30 seconds. They tested different scenerios. But I'm wondering if this would be legal:
You throw your first disc and send your caddie to go get it so that if it misses the island you can get it back for another throw. While your caddie is running to get disc #1, you prepare to throw disc #2 within your 30 seconds. You throw your #2 disc and your caddie gets your first thrown disc back to you....so you are ready to throw it before your 30 seconds is up (if disc #2 misses the island).
Would that be legal? Your caddie isn't being used as an aiming point as they are moving to the disc or back to the lie. So, could the caddie go retrieve your thrown disc(s) and return them to you so you can throw them again?
