Weirdest disc find ever
 
So I threw hole 18 at Pier today, and after my first toss, I hucked a fun shot using my new EchoStar Destroyer. I flipped it to the right and it headed into the trees nestled against the edge of the hill. I lost sight of the line, but i swore I saw it kick right onto the side of the hill where all the foot high ivy is, perhaps just a little further down than the storage unit.

After looking for nearly 30 minutes, I started looking in wild places. I even walked up to the road. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of orange (the color I was looking for). There was my disc down on the train tracks maybe 120 feet further down. (that's past pin height). I wish you all could have seen it because it was the most impossible line and way farther than it ever should have been.

What is your weirdest find?

On hole #9 at Adair, I drove using my green wraith. The shot went slightly off to the left of the fairway, so I headed off to find my disc. As I neared the spot where the shot landed, I saw my green disc in some ferns. Anyways, I completed the hole only to realize the disc I found wasn't mine. It was a sidewinder the exact same color. My disc was back in the same spot only 10 feet away.

Once we were looking for a disc and found another disc inside of a hollow stump. We kept looking then i decided to look in a different hollow stump and found the disc we were looking for.

We spent twenty minutes on a blind hole looking for my friend's first ace. :slapface:

Looking for my second shot at the stump basket @ Milo, came across another disc with my name on it. Not my disc though.

I was laying out a secret course on the Ten Sleep creek- there are no courses for 2.5 hrs, infact I am the only golfer in the county- respectively.... anyway here I am down at the creek letting the dog get some water and low and behold a putter in the high water line- nude aviar all beat to shyt- well I guess I am not the only one who thought this area was good for a course-
here is a pic of the area- pro pad for hole #6 the disc was found down in the creek-

Has anyone else lost a disc in a wheat field while practicing only to crack open a bail of hay a few years later to find your disc unharmed? I have, twice in fact...both of them Valkyries, and one of them was my first disc ever!

Instance 1 - Practicing in my yard...lost the valk...field grows out and gets bailed...two summers pass...mom gets a call from some folks in our part of the country-side...disc gets returned.

Instance 2 - practice in the yard...lost the valk...field grows out and gets bailed...two or three summers pass...take my dog to the neighbors barn where agility lessons are being held...while putting the equipment away I stumble across an old beat up disc...upon further inspection its my blue champion valk...neighbors say they found it in a bail they opened up for their horses.

What would be the odds on that happening twice?

snap7times August 20th, 2009 03:12 PM

depends how many discs he lost in the same field...

I myself haven't had any weird finds but I was with a guy on Lake Isabella course here and he threw a lime green boss on hole 7. We spent 20 mins looking for it and he stopped and looked down at his feet funny. Next thing I know he pulls out a lime green boss, I was like kewl you found it and he says "No this is the boss I lost 2 years ago here" So he threw a lime green boss lost it and found a lime green boss he lost 2 years previous. Same spot and everything.

weird? yes

Sam August 20th, 2009 04:12 PM

The weirdest find I have had was off hole 5/4a in Pendleton. I rolled my disc off the bank and down into the creek. I though it was a goner. Fortunately, it was stuck swirling in a back current.

When I first started playing I was at Willamette and fall was in full speed leaves everywhere on hole 9 threw my drive and it landed at the base of a tree. Looked for about an hour and finally gave up. Went out the next day same hole put my foot down behind my disc for my upshot and my foot slipped and moved some leaves to reveal my lost disc under my foot. Sweet find!!!

I once threw a brand new Firebird into a river and i to look just to check and it was upside down floating down the river. So I went down stream and it washed up on the bank.

That IS weird. That guy traveled back in time with that lime green boss and threw it on hole 7, and then proceeded to lose it. Then he traveled back to present time and threw that hole with you and found the disc. That is what happened.

While playing Dabney Doubles last year, we are looking for my partners disc, it was a beat Rock (white with a blue stamp), I exclaim, "Found it." We throw from his lie and he goes to pick up his Rock from the weeds it was resting in and he says, this is not my disc. We keep looking and find his disc too.
