Lost at Lakewood

[Mystjava]

Sigh! This weekend was not a good weekend for me.. I had lost three of my discs! :waaah:
I was playing the Lakewood Open this weekend and on Saturday at Hole B (next to the main lake) -- About 20 to 30 feet into the lake, my Yellow Champion Beast landed.. :slapface: I am hoping someone will be lucky enough to find it and let me know so I can claim it. (I've already tried to get it, but ended up with a cut on the bottom of my foot which got infected.)

Today, during the final round, I had lost two more discs.. :slapface: The first one landed in the pond behind the playground and near the #15 hole. :slapface: Landed in here with a big splash that I didn't hear, about twenty to thirty feet in, my favorite PINK CHAMPION ROADRUNNER, yes the same one I had lost at Yauger Park. I did wade into the pond to try to get it, but I wasn't lucky at all. I hope that the pond will recede enough so that someone can get my disc. I would really appreciate it if I can get that one back.

My third disc I had lost was behind the tennis court at Tee #D -- however the good news is that I found it later that afternoon, so primary I would love to get my pink roadrunner back if possible. Thanks to everyone who help and pitch in.
Thanks!

SillyBuzz - Thanks! I appreciate all the effort..

[sillybizz]

No luck, sorry. I parked in the other parking lot after my round and took a look but I couldnt see it, I hope someoen gets it, losing plastic is such a bummer.

[Mystjava]

It is if you're hooked to it! I will just have to wait until the water level goes down enough for us to look for it. Just have faith..

[Mystjava]

I'm thinking about heading over to look for it today before all the crazy traffic hits Seattle area..

Crystal, keep in mind that the pond in question is not a healthy one. It's just a wide spot in the runoff path. If you do actually wade in their without a rubber suit, bring a gallon of clean water to wash the worst of the scum off.

I recommend staying away from that pond if you value your health.

I was just going to look at the little pond to see if the water had dropped enough for me to look to see if my disc was visible.. I know it is a drive for me to come over and just look.. Sigh.. Another time I guess.. just have to keep my fingers crossed!
Thanks Chuck.. Do continue to keep an eye open for the lost discs.. Thanks again..

don't do it- you can't see anything in that pond. There have been a couple of folks that have dredged it too, so it may have moved on already. I'll ask around, though.

I recently got a call from a fellow (Michael - a good soul) saying that he'd found a disc of mine in the pond. He apparently went in to retrieve one of his own that he'd lost (and unfortunately didn't find it) but I believe he went IN. Like... for a friggin' swim! :eek: I've never. I've used my rubber boots while dredging and if I have a spillover into my boots I feel like I need to be treated at a hospital. Long story short, cheers to Michael! The man has some serious good karma coming his way!

[Mystjava]

Wow!!! Good job Michael!

I hope he does find a few others.. Thanks for the upbeat spirit of the news..

My good buddy J-Money went in with waders on. He found one of my first-run teerexes that went swimming >2 years ago.















































and he found your roadrunner:biggrin2: He'll give it to me next time we play (which is roughly weekly) and I'll either keep it safe for you, or I could mail it also. What's the next tourney you're planning on attending?

[Mystjava]

OHHHHHHH!!!!! YOU! Oh.. I'm heading over! I can come over on Thursday next week or on Tuesday... do you play at MLT on Tuesdays? If so, I can try to catch you there... Thank you!!!!

[Mystjava]

I agree! We need more people with high quality fly fishing gear to do the "fishing for plastic".. they're wonderful folks!!! Yea!!!!!

[Mystjava]

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO LOOK FOR THE DISCS! Most of all.. thanks to J-man! I appreciate it! Chuck.. You rock too!
