$50 REWARD - lost Eagle at Trojan - Lost and Found

Sean Phillips · #1 September 7th, 2009, 04:54 PM

$50 to anybody that returns my blue 11x KC pro Eagle. I threw the disc into the channel of water to the right side of hole 11 at trojan. Its near the middle of the channel may be a few feet toward the highway from the middle. It looked like it hit the water about 50 feet short of #11 basket. The disc has my name and number on it. It also has shelby's name and number on it. I won it during a round with him 4+ years ago. It has been in my bag ever since. It is my absolute #1 goto driver and has been for at least 2 years. I will never throw it near water again if I get it back.

Please find my baby.

How deap is the channel at trojan?

I'm looking into some scuba stuff. Anybody know how deep it is?

Brian said he can touch all the way across the channel there.

He finds them with his feet...

Robin went in between rounds at 2008 RCO to look for a disc he lost and with my help we found it, the part were we looked was 2-4 feet...

That channel can get pretty deep in places and there is no gradual edge, just a drop off. I hope you can find it.

I don't think it is anymore, start looking into throwing those Glow Eagles from the 2009 BSF!

I think Brian is temporarily away from the forums serving a time out or something.

Isn't hole 10 the one by the highway where the Pro tee pad is across the pond and the Am tee pad is on the same side as the basket?

Correct.

It's possible that Brian's still reading the forums, though.

I predict it won't last long.

Correction:

It was hole 11 where I lost my eagle. I miscounted.

Mike - I've been throwing the BSF eagles, they fly very nicely. I'm very interested to see how they'll fly after a few years of play. But, I'm not sure they'll be able to replace my lost eagle.

Adam Schneider · #15 September 8th, 2009, 02:08 PM

#11 is the one that has water all along the right side, and a tunnel of trees waiting to deflect your disc into the murky depths.

Sean Phillips · #16 September 8th, 2009, 02:13 PM

Yep, that's the hole.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I'm NEVER going to play that pro tee on ten.

I think it's a much easier shot, assuming you can throw 200' reliably. Forehand, backhand, hyzer, straight, flex - it doesn't matter. Throw too hard and you've got a backstop behind you.

Ol' Bob · #19 September 8th, 2009, 03:36 PM

Sorry, but I'm a devout coward. I won't even go hyzer out around that tree on the short tee on ten.

erp · #20 September 8th, 2009, 03:37 PM

Vastly easier - I was really bummed at the RCO when I found out that this totally accessible (even for ams) ace run had been eliminated (along with 18, which is the only hole I've aced at Trojan) I was seriously bummed.

It also made me a bit dissappointed that the ace pot was mandatory when those two holes were out of the picture. For my wimpy arm, that left 13 and maybe 14 (on a good day, with a tailwind) as ace runs, albeit both much higher risk shots.

Not that the Rose City Open was anything less than spectacular, and the two TD's did excellent work as is becoming the norm on Stumptown events.

I agree the shot along the bank is a much riskier (and sloppier when it's not summer/fall...) one than the clear and open run across the pond...
