Of all the discs I have bought lately my Dyed Championship Sidewinder has been flirting with being lost the most. It's from being clear blue with purple stripes, not very bright colors and hard to see. I have had a hard time finding this disk many times. Which is sad because I was getting really good at throwing it.
Well I finally lost it.
So I was playing the University Of Richmond course yesterday and after throwing a bad drive in to a huge briar patch it took me about 30 minutes to find it.
Later in the round I teed of of hole 12....
Easy tunnel shot through some light trees & stuff on the left. There is a large clear field at the end of the trees.
I make my drive shot through and watch the disc tail off to the left in to the clearing behind the last 2 trees and skip a little.
I immediately pick up mu bag and walk on the other side of the trees on the left. It's an open field with short grass. I walk to the open area approach to the basket....
...and no disc.
I must have walked every square foot of that open area looking for the disc for about 45 minutes. I even had 2 kids riding on their bikes stop and help me look for a couple of bucks and still no disc.
I still have no earthly idea what happened. I know I didn't throw it hard enough to make the water. I watched the disc fly past the trees skip off the ground and stop.
It's like I threw that Sidewinder in to the Bermuda Triangle...
Well if anyone sees it it's got my name and e-mail on it....
Thanks
