Default When losers find discs in ponds....
I was out of cell phone range this weekend. When I got back to town, I had a voice mail message. To the best of my recolection, it went something like this: "Hi. I pulled one of your discs out of the pond at Dabney. I charge $10 to give your disc back since I'm the one that had to go into the pond. It's a pink disc with a star on it. It looks pretty unique so I thought I'd give you a chance to get it back".

No name. No number.



Here is the best part - I have never lost a disc in the Dabney pond.

I don't even recall what disc it might be. I can't think of a pink disc with a star, but I've dyed a lot of junk so it's certainly possible.

Funny you should mention that. I had a first run star destroyer that was pink, but I removed the stamp and dyed it after the factory stamp started to wear off. I lost that one at Orchard, I think.

Hmmm... no ideas, then.

Oh well... if you can't remember it, it is probably not worth the $10 to you. I would advise the guy to cram it up his back-side - face first.

It's worth the $10 from the curiosity standpoint alone. But no worries, I would never pay this loser.

By the way, that's the second reference today to cramming something up someone's backside. What's up with that? Rough weekend?

Whom ever must of wanted that one Adam.
If I lost one where I wasn't willing to go after it. Then I've just giving it up.
If it's that you just couldn't find it. You should get it back.

I believe I crammed my head up my own backside for that final 9 but other than that I had a good weekend, thanks. Maybe that's where it comes from, though.

Lost discs are the best evidence that our game is growing, let's face it, although I put a name and number on all my plastic, I've yet to return any I have lost (few thankfully). Unless a disc is found by someone in our little circle of knowledge, it's gone. Some noob will find it and use it, might turn up lost on another course, etc.

i have only been playing disc golf for a year now, and i always call on all discs i find at least 4-5 times (with messages) before giving up, and advise all my friends to do the same, although i cant force them to call.

lets all have good disc golf karma.

Not to go off the subject here, but out at Stilly (Steilacoom) now we have to keep a close eye on our drives, there's idiots out there taking discs as they're playing in front of us, its happened twice and others have been complaining about it too! I've been playing long enough to know if they're intentions are good or bad - but how hard is it to get your disc mixed up and the name on the disc? About to sling my paintball marker with my bag and start taggin' those cleptos!

Here si a good one

Back in 2000 I played in the greater Sacramento area lost a crappy DX wolf with this big letter on the front saying if you find this disc at least call and thank me. So 6 mths later I get a call from DeLa and someone had found it there. Told them to keep it for their efforts. Then like 4 years later I get a call saying it was now in Ohio. Then in the last 6 weeks I get yet another call saying it's now in Colorado. I guess I shot my wad with this disc cause out of the other 40+ pieces I have lost in 9 years this is the only one I have ever had calls about
