Gosh that sucks, well, aside from the mugging, one thing we can all learn from this is a proper warm up and stretching before playing goes a longg ways - more than we can ever know, so if in the event of an emergency, our body cooperates.
I had a similar situation like this out at Rocklin about a month and a half ago. Me and a buddy unleash a couple long drives on hole #14, my disc gets caught in the tree wayy down. My buddy throws his 2nd shot and is 30 feet from the basket. However, there were 3 guys already on the hole, but like 100 feet off to the right of the dirt path and were taking forever down in the trees, prob smoking up or something stupid so we played through. While we were getting my disc out, the 3 guys finished out the hole and went to hole 15 tee. We went up to finish out 14 as well and my buddy's disc is missing, my buddy is like 6 foot 215 pounds and immediately takes off after the 3 guys who dont seem to be interested in playing disc golf anymore and are acting suspicious like they are handing something to eachother. The 3 guys have no where to run after my buddy is screaming with his deaf voice that booms across the entire course and grabs at least another 5-10 DG'ers attention. He confronted them and he ordered them to open their bags up and sure enough his disc is sitting right there, he grabs it and the guys gave him shix for it, and he was like you really wanna mess with me and they just took off flashing stupid stuff to cover their fear for being busted so easily. The stupid part was trying to rip off a disc less than 100 feet from us in plain sight.
Sad that we need to start thinking about not disc golfing alone to protect ourselves more and more or choose a course that is not empty.
