Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

[Mythy]

I hope you mean add a stroke for hitting an animal. If not, watch an injured animal die a slow and painful death in front of you and I think your attitude will change.

"unintentionally" man... un-intentionally... it's an anecdote about a joke that happened when a disc MISSED a bunny...

Strange/Weird things seen on a Disc Golf Course

The old thread was over 83 days, couldn't add to it.

Zombies on a DGC.

Today at Shillito DGC, ran into student filmmakers making a Zombie picture. They setup their makeup table on the teepad of Hole 5, dragged a picnic table from the shelter at the top of the hill and put it in front of the pad. They also parked their cars on the grass in the fairway. They setup for filming around the basket and walking trail on Hole 13.

You have to click the box on the bottom that says "I know this thread is old...and I still want to reply to it." (To paraphrase)

A bunch of ladies with their workout equipment down by the creek on #12 at bicentennial in Crowley. Apparently they were taking pictures.

in the last month I have seen a 300-400 person triathlon , sun bathers laying on tee pads, a dog trainer with 8 dogs pooping everywhere, dirt bikes, tractors parked by park staff blocking a basket for 2 days , tractors blocking another basket via highway dept. for 4 days, church events blocking baskets, but the weirdest thing I have seen is our park and rec throw away the trash cans we made to prevent littering. we also have a 100 foot burn pile that smoldered all summer in the middle of the #1 fairway, making sure you get your hyzer on. I am starting to think disc golf is very hated in Conway Arkansas.

I saw a truck on fire on hole 12 on the old Ole Miss course. The hole started on a hill, then went down so the hill and a road went through and the basket was on a hill on the other side of the road. We always checked for vehicles and what not but as we are about to cross an old truck comes barreling through smoking like crazy. As it passes we can clearly see fire under it. We tried to stop it but he was gone as soon as we noticed it:|.

Saw a couple on all fours going at it on the short tee pad of a hole once. Tried to come up with something funny to say, but completely blanked.

50+ prom kids on the local course. Nice river and natural setting. It was a beautiful evening, though the sun setting and shining through the far too sheer dresses was nearly criminal.

A bunch of guys doing Tai Chi off the #2 fairway at McCurrey park. Some guys in a different group aimed at them but it was a 550 or so shot so they stayed safe.

Honestly it's a nice spot for it, huge open sunny field, not too many people that far from the walking path.

Hole in one?

Lately, a few dudes chopping up lines of coke... rando coke-heads that thought the space behind the 7th tee was chill. Not.

With kids living no more than 50ft from where they were doing it, we made them leave

This is a funny thread. A pair of boxer briefs off hole 14 at Cedar Sentinels in Indiana.

Similar: About 50 people dressed all in black running and screaming playing "Zombie Hoard"(?) during our glow round.

We've had a group of LARPers gather to the right side of 16's fairway (Dolese, OKC) for the past month or so. Most of them decked out in their costumes complete with foam swords and shields. It's quite amusing watching them acting like they've lost limbs and still try to fight. It reminded me of the Black Knight of Python fame.

Anyway, the first time they were at the park, we tee off as they aren't really in a dangerous spot of the course. However, my buddy throws a FH flex shot that just had a little too much anny. It cut rolls about 180' out and starts heading directly towards the LARPers. We were all about to yell "fore" but hesitated. We wanted to see how this ended (you'll know why in a second.) There was this one guy who was "wounded" and was kneeling on the ground with his back to us. The cut-roller in question obviously knew where it was going and it decided to hit this guy perfectly in the butt-crack. We all contained our laughter and apologized. The one who was hit wasn't hurt and laughed it off as an "errant arrow." Fast-forward a few weeks and the LARPers are back on 16. We all tee off again without incident until my buddy, the same one as before, throws a BH flex shot that turns over too much and becomes a roller that starts tracking right. All of us yell "fore" but to no avail. They completely ignored us until the disc hits one of them in the ankle. Like last time, we were apologetic and they weren't hurt, or mad for that matter. My friend rarely has errant throws on this hole but obviously has an unconscious disliking of LARPers. Either that, or he really wants to be part of their group.

The was a porn dvd case on top of a basket. My brother was examining it while i putted out. I doinked it off the top and hit him in the teeth. His gums bled a little.

Once during a tournament there was a VERY large Nerf gun war taking place. They had duct-taped socks they were using as "grenades."

 

[Disc Golf Live]

Two particularly memorable on-course treats:

Once witnessed a pair of sand hill cranes doing their very exotic mating dance. Lots of leggy hopping up and down stuff, very Sir Richard Attenborough-grade.

Another time a group of us were prepping to tee off late in a round when a whirl-wind appeared from over a nearby knoll. It was well-defined by leaves and dust in the air as it approached, lifted a bunch of trash from a can (which then tipped over), then went right past us, with the temp dropping a bunch while it was upon us. Never saw another so well developed and long-lasting.

Some of the golf I've seen has been cool too but that's another thread I suppose.

So I'm not the only one who's seen LARPers! I see them all the time when out disc golfing. Never hit one though, or spoken to one for that matter. They're always way off the fairway.

I have seen some other odd stuff though. I've seen a guy furiously screaming at his disc and just standing on the Tee Pad freaking out and cursing out his disc. Later found out he was strung out on drugs. He was asked to leave. My friend and I once caught vandals in the act. Oddly enough they weren't even teens, they were full blown adults just being A-holes. Wanted to knock the *&^% out of them but they ran and we lost them in the woods. These incidents were at the public disc golf place in Sanford.

Funniest odd thing I've seen is a group of hippies all chilling and smoking way out in the woods. It was at the Kodiak at Woodland Valley. Anyone who's played the Kodiak knows it's way out in the woods, ridiculously hard, and you can frequently play a full 18 holes and never run into another person. Anyway, this group of about 7 hippies were just chilling around the tee (can't remember what hole. It was on the back 9 though) and just having a good time. They were all passing around a bong and drinking cheap beer and seemed to be fairly out of it. They were pretty nice and offered me some of their weed and alcohol. I politely declined. They let me tee off and then all cheered as I threw. After I started walking to where I threw, they sat back down on the tee and went back to smoking and stuff. Hippies......

This is a funny thread. A pair of boxer briefs off hole 14 at Cedar Sentinels in Indiana.

There's a course in a local park that's known as a place for gay men to hook up and do their thing. We've come across way worse than a pair of boxer briefs. The city's shut the whole park down to try and clean it up. Probably not a bad idea unfortunately.
