I once took aim at a squirrel while it was running along and actually nailed it pretty hard. I didn't think that I would be able to hit it of course (it was pretty **** quick and I suck somethin awful), and I was only throwing a putter because that's what i was holding, so it got up after a couple seconds of shock and scuddled off, thankfully. I didn't mean to harm it, but it was pretty funny after seeing that it was okay.
I've heard of someone killing a squirrel on a drive, though. Likely that it was BS, but I guess it could happen.

On hole 5 or 6 can't remember she proceeded to hit DEAD ON a tree that was no more than 3 feet in front of her three times in a row!....She dropped a s#$t bomb.............................................W ell, I guess all it took was a good swear, cuz she proceeded to kick some major arse after that.

We've taped a nice little bomb on a crappy dx disc. One person held the disc in their backswing while another lit the fuse. He threw it about 150', then the bomb went off. It flew about 200' more, 90 degrees to the right. It was a perfect launch from the bomb too, no off-axis spin.
It was alittle bigger than an M-80, I forget what it was.

A few days ago I was out in the back yard putting. While putting I had the strangest thing I have ever seen happen to me. I made a perfect putt, low and right towards the center pole, but as it hit the pole the disc turned upright and slid through the chains on my Mach III. It slid out the back and stuck to the basket. The disc was wedge, not in the basket but on the hooks on the top of the basket. So the disc was sitting flat on the outer side of the basket, with the two hooks that come and and give support to the basket wedged on the inner lip of the disc. I had never seen this before, and all could do was stand and laugh... does anyone know if this would even be considered in?

Guy in the parking lot calls the phone number on a found disc. A different guy standing at Hole #1 Tee pad (only 45 feet away from the first guy) drops his discs from his hand and reaches for his cell phone. Both guys are looking opposite directions during the first moments of the call. The first guy tells the second that he'll give the lost disc to a third person to hold until the second guy can make it to the course. The second guy says, "I'm out at the course right now"! They each turn around and see the other guy they have been talking to, and they each continue talking to each other on their cell phones while they are standing 40 feet apart looking at each other!
The world we live in these days can really be funny.

two things, first while playing hole two at Jimmy Porter in Carrollton, I had a great drive, looked like an ace run for sure and as it starts over the creek still a hundred feet from the hole, it got stuck in the phone wire thirty feet off the ground, and everytime we'd hit it, it would just wiggle, finally came down after about fifteen minutes
second, on hole seven at Greenbelt in Carrollton, with a 25 mph headwind, I was trying to throw a nice little hyzer, the disc got a little air and started a slow flip, rides a gust, keeps flipping, and the next thing we know, I'm 250 feet right of the pin, OB in someones back yard, in the swimming pool, good thing it was summer and I had trunks on, I got my disc and cooled off
WAIT, it gets better, we laughed and said we'd never see that again, about a month later it happens again, same hole, same conditions, only this time it was my brother who did it, team him to give me so much crap, disc golf kharma, bam!

Sounds like poor course design if a shot can (twice) end up in a neighbor's yard and worse yet, in their pool.

Playing Shelly Sharpe course back in the early 90's in AZ. Don't remember which hole but it was one that runs up along the fence and surrounded by trees. A group of us (4 girls) had thrown our drives and as we approach our discs, we see a guy sitting on the ground under one of the trees near the basket spanking his thang. We all pointed and laughed at him and he immediately got up and pulled up his pants and took off. I'm glad we were a group of adults and not young girls! We all had a good laugh. :D

I was practicing a temp. course for a tournament here in Columbus back in June. One of the holes was about 420 feet with a parking lot to the left of the basket. There was a Somalian family in the parking lot just standing there. I waited for a couple minutes for them to leave but they were just standing there. I decided to throw. I threw a huge hyzer with my Max and went way left towards the parking lot and the disc was heading right towards this Somalian family that consisted of like 12 people. The disc was spiking down right towards them and luckily it skipped right in the middle of the clump of humans. The family was pretty ticked off and the father starting yelling at me from like 400 feet away in some other language. He picked up my disc out of anger and threw it about 100 feet right into the basket!!!! There were two other guys with me and we never laughed so hard!! Best deuce I've ever had!!!

on hole #1 of our local course, there were a bunch of high school age girls just sitting in the fairway all in a circle with their legs crossed, approximately 50 feet short of the basket. it's about a 390 foot hole, so there's a good chance of nailing one or more of these girls in the face with a drive. the two people playing the hole with me both asked me to throw a roller at them to get their attention because neither of them are great rollers i guess. well, first i yelled at them. from "four" to "[censored] move!" and then i decided to go ahead and roll at them (it's safer than throwing in the air, anyway). so i take aim and throw probably the most accurate roller i've ever thrown and it hit one of them in the leg REALLY HARD and then bounced over the entire group of girls and continued rolling until it finally came to a stop directly under the basket. the girls started b!tching, but finally moved and i convinced my friends to let me take the drive :). great beginning to a round.

I guess your screen name is deserved - that was a stupid thing to do. It's the kind of behavior that gets courses pulled and gives the sport a bad reputation. Did you ever think of walking down the fairway and politely asking the girls to move? No wonder we have so few women playing the game, if their first impression of it is being sworn at and then assaulted.

So I go to the last Tourney ever at the Grand Canyon, Brooksville, Fl. It was a bring your own doubles tourney. My partner and I played great and ended up getting second place. I for one was pretty excited about my finish. My girlfriend was also excited for me. We had a few drinks after the round waiting for the awards. Well she had already had a couple before I finished. The TD decides to have a Ace throw off for some cash and prizes. He is explaining the rules and that it will be an all throw at once type of throw off (throw as many shots as you want, for 15 minutes. Mind you its from Hole 1's tee to the fairway below where he placed a temp basket about 300 feet away, but to walk to your disc is more like 700 feet). So as he is explaining everything he says " I'll say 1,2,3, go when we start", just then my GF yells out "1,2,3, go" and over half the field starts throwing (not me, I am too embarrassed). The TD makes everyone walk down and get there disc and start over on his command. I was pretty ticked at first, then the more I thought about it, very, very funny.... at least to me.... not those who threw...
My apologies to those guys for the long walk down the hill and back....

"...there's a good chance of nailing one or more of these girls in the face with a drive." Sounds like you knew that you might hurt them.
i love the snippets that take everything COMPLETELY out of context. way to go. this meant that i DIDN'T want to hit them in the face. that's why i rolled, smart guy.
"...well, first i yelled at them. from "four" <font color="blue">(sic) </font> to "[censored] move!" Then you swore at them - hardly a friendly gesture.
first of all, i said FROM "four" TO "[censored] move!" in other words there were other things said in between (and before, actually). and the cursing WAS friendly. apparantly you're a church goer, but i'm not and cursing is part of joking around to us normals. like i said, we see these girls out there a lot. dude, if you would just read and understand instead of seeing what you want to see. you should be a politician.
"...so i take aim and throw probably the most accurate roller i've ever thrown and it hit one of them in the leg REALLY HARD..." You carried out your expectation by hitting a bystander and possibly injuring her.
you have no [censored] clue what my expectation was. i didn't think i could actually hit anyone. i'm not that good. just because my friends didn't have good rollers doesn't mean mine is outstanding. i've actually rolled that hole before and never been nearly as close as i was this time. again, wasn't an important part of the story. notice how long my freaking story would have been if i put all of this pointless junk in it? this is ridiculous.
"...the girls started b!tching..." The way you describe their reaction leads one to believe they didn't think this was the funniest thing ever seen playing disc golf.
of course they didnt. they didn't even realize who it was at first, but once they did, it was funny. i didn't HURT anyone, nor could i have. yes, the roller hit the girl hard, or it wouldn't have jumped over them, but that also means it hit her leg above center, which means not full on, or it would have just stopped there. have you ever been hit by a roller? it's nothing, man. just a shock. so here we have someone who doesn't know what he's talking about judging how things could have gone? keep piling it on. you can hit me with a roller anytime.
You obviously either did a poor job of describing what went on, or you are a poor representative for the sport.
like i said, if i described everything in detail then it wouldn't be a story (at least not one worth telling), it would be a report. [censored] that.

ok this wasn't very funny at the time for me but the two groups
behind my group had a nice laugh. So last week we had a tourney
In Rupert Idaho where there is a very nice 18 hole course. but it
tends to get windy in the afternoon. any way about half way through
last of four rounds the weather starts turning and the wind picks up
according to the news we had gust up 65-70 mph. so i get ready
to tee off on the longest hole on the course witch is only about 550
pretty straight shot with a dog leg to the right. i had been throwing
surges in previous rounds but in the wind that kept knocking my
bag of my chair i pulled out the predator. I throw low and with a
little hyzer since i am left handed i knew it would anny a bit it gets
about 200 feet out where there is a little hill and a big gust of wind
hits it sending it literally straight up into the air about 250 feet. well
needless to say i was a bit upset and turned away in disgust when
every one in my group and the group behind us starts yelling well i
turn around to see that my disc is not only heading o.b. to the right
side but has almost returned to the tee pad where it lands about 5
feet in front of me o.b. yea so.. they all laugh and my predator now
has a lovely chunk gone from the road. fun times in the dessert.

There seems to be a discrepancy between message board measurements and real world measurements. Thus, it would be useful to have some simple conversion factors for common disc golf phenomena.
Given: We will use 'mb' to denote message board variables and 'TT' to denote ReaL world variables.
Wind:
mb mph= (TT mph) X 2
Driving distance or long putt made:
mb ft = (TT ft) X 1.5
Height of disc stuck in tree (esp. if thrower has to climb in order to retrieve):
mb ft = (TT ft) X3
# good Putts (but missed due to bad basket/ bounce out/ cut thru):
mb # = (TT #) +5
Roll Away distance:
mb ft = (TT ft)^2
Practice round score:
mb score = TT score + (course SSA / # holes actually completed)
Aces hit while playing alone:
#TT aces = (#mb aces) X zero

It was hole 13 at CSUMB (Monterey). I was playing with Mike Brown (super nice guy) the first round because they mix divisions. Anyhow, there are two telephone poles about 20-30 from each other about 50-70 feet off the tee. It is a mando that you shoot between them. It's not tremendously difficult and it can be a birdie. So, he throws his shot, clearly misses. Grabs another disc and gracefully misses. Grabs another, and misses. I think the next one grazed the pole but still missed. I can't remember how many more times he tried to drive it and I can't remember if he just barely punched through a putter or if yet another drive actually got through but it wasn't close to the pin. To make this long agonizing story short, he took a 13 on hole 13. All he could do was giggle about it.

I was at the gold pan open playing Rocklin.. On hole 7 there are trees right in front of the tee...One of which I smacked on my drive. After the smack down my disc landed about 30-40 feet in front of the tee. So the rest of my group stayed back while I made my second shot, and were quietly making some small talk with another group passing by behind us. Well, I canned a huge hyzer bomb for a birdie from about 280' out!!
The group in front of us was still on the tee and close to our pin, and saw me celebrating my birdie just in front of the tee and started a false Ace celebration through the course, meanwhile I'm running up to them trying to explain it was just a birdie to end the false alarm!! I was pretty embarrassed after that, but the bird was nice!

Cause you'll just get scolded. ;)
Now then..
Back last year at The Zilla in Louisville, I was on hole 8 or 9 and Jerry Dobbins was on the hole behind. Both holes run parallel to each other in opposite directions right next to each other.
Jerry fires a forehand down his fairway only to shank it and roll it ...right at me standing on the box, almost hit me but I jumped out of the way.
I tee off and shank a forehand onto the other fairway and yell frantically FORE!!! FORE!!! and the disc sails right over the other teepad at neck hight! (Champ Starfire) Luckly they all ducked in time.
Jerry still thinks I did it on purpose... :p

Where in the world were the two of you guys born. Anytime that you hit a bystander and think that it is funny, whether you did it on purpose or not is asking for that course to be pulled. We are visitors at the local parks as are other the other patrons of the park, but one bad apple will sour the whole load for the rest of us. Obviously you were not taught manners and to that degree we cannot totally blame you, but a simple walk down the fairway to the pedestrians not only gives them the knowledge of our sport and the coutesey of being asked to move, it also sends a good message that we care about our sport.
The next time that the two of you are on the fairways and you see pedestrians in the fairway, I hope that you will have enough good sense to politley ask them to move and not assult them.

As he reached into his bag for a third disc, a car pulled over to the side of the road. A guy jumped out, ran on to the fairway and grabbed my friend's two favorite drivers. He jumped back in the car and sped away. We could not believe our eyes, he was [censored] about losing his drivers, but all we could do is laugh. That may have been the first ever drive-by disc-jacking in the history of our sport.

I've got a similar story from last summer. Me and my girlfriend were in East TX visiting some family and decided to stop by Ford Park in Shreveport to check out the course. I was having a great round, then we got to hole 5 or 6...
On that particular hole the basket is partially hidden behind a little hill, and its probably less than 300 feet to the pin. I pull out my beloved 11x KC Pro Eagle and throw a nice thumber that I *think* parked the shot /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. I noticed a few kids standing around 50-60 feet from the pin, but I figured they were just watching...until one of them ran over to my disc the second it hit the ground, grabbed it, took off the other direction, and jumped into the bed of a truck that quickly sped off. By the time it sunk in that this kid really just did steal my disc, the whole truckload was long gone
Not really a funny story to me, but I'm sure if anyone would have seen the dumb look on my face as I stood there watching my disc drive away....they would have laughed :D
RIP perfectly beaten-in KC Pro Eagle...you'll be missed!

There are kids around here that ride motorcyles through the park they jack discs now and then. Probably had someone throw at them before and it is just retaliation.

Sounds Karmic to me. Hitting anyone with a disc "ain't funny"...at all.

yeah, i agree. whoever it was that (definitely ) threw at these guys deserves the death penalty. in fact, we should have killed them before they even did it. they should die for existing and having a thought that isn't exactly what a certain two people think. bastards.
hey, didn't the nazis force their opinions onto others, too? i must have missed the ending. how did it work out?

Hey retard, try this experiment:
First, make sure you are actually a retard. Check!
Then go file a complaint with your local park. Tell them someone hit you with a disc while you were hiking. See how quickly the course gets pulled.

ironically, my name is a jest that only retards can't catch onto. people who think they're smart (nazis, in this case) assume that i'll be insulted by calling me by the name i chose, when obviously it's meant to be made light of. it's been entertaining, to say the least. like whoa.
if i checked on the second one i would get laughed at because our course is ONLY a disc golf course. it has no hiking, no walking paths, and motorcycles and atvs are not allowed on the course (it's roped off by steal cable for that very reason... cabled off, i guess you could say) and people get sitations there for disturbing US. it used to be a homosexual orgy hot spot at night and a pot smoker's paradise during the day, so it's pretty well policed. but feel free to talk to the city in my place. i'd be glad to learn how much you have to pay to keep from doing community service. :)
i'll leave you to reflect.

So I didn't see it personally but I'll share the story. Hole 14 on our course lies to the right of a public pool that is enclosed by a fence. Guy tees off on the pad and it is fading hard right, looking like it was deep of the pool area where people were at. So they go to find their drives. Looked for about a minute when someone hollared from the pool. " Looking for a disc? It hit me in the back of the head! " It went right over the fence and hit the guy in the back of the head while he was swimming!

Another brilliant course design. What a smart move to make a hole where a disc could fly into a public swimming pool. http://www.bearclaws.org/forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

My brother and I were playing at winhrop U. one day and while we were on Hole 888 he threw oB into the parking lot...Not a minute later, a car drove up, stopped, the door opened and someone reached down, scooped the disc and drove away....He was [censored]...Another time on the Colliseum hole my brother threw a drive that hyzered out toward the road at the bottom...Suddenly, we notice a car driving at about the speed to meet the disc right at the end of th flight....I thought the car was gonna get hit, but instead it hit the road under the car, skipped and loded underneathe......Well, the car kept going, and so did the disc....

though this wasn't at all funny for me, many people still remind me of this incident from the 2006 am worlds in tulsa. so i'm finishing up my round at redhawk on hole 17 and it's a pretty tough drive but somehow i just absolutely CRUSH my drive super hyzer with a really flat jk valkyrie and it anhyzers perfectly all the way past the hole and into the creek. unbeknownst to the poisonous snakes or something ridiculous in the waters i instantly go and get my friend wyatt to help me retrieve it from the creek. so we sit and think for a while and attempt to poke at it with sticks for a few minutes. upon stepping close to the water, you sink like crazy into this blackish muck so if someone was to walk into the water, you're sinking pretty deep, not to mention the water's a couple feet deep anyhow. after realizing that we don't have a stick long or strong enough to pull it out, i climb a really, really unstable tree hanging almost directly over the disc. after a number of unsuccessful tries at pulling it out while hanging UPSIDEDOWN, i finally gave up on getting it out that way. i wasn't about to climb back down this thorn tree or whatever in order to get back to the other side. so, being the lazy person that i am, i say "wyatt, i'm going to jump from this tree to the shore, and when i land in the mud and sink, you're going to grab my arms and pull me up." he agrees and without thinking twice i'm like, okay here i come! right when i jump the tree limb just completely snaps and i come about... 5 or so feet short of where i wanted to land, NOT TO MENTION that wyatt had looked the other way right when i plummeted into the muck. so i end up landing like waist deep in the most foul smelling, blackest mud ever before i'm completely submerged in creek water and other fun things. i end up paying wyatt to go wade for it later on but what happened after was classic. at one of the playground setups they had there with water and junk there was like at least 100 kids and a bunch of parents that looked pretty well-to-do having some kind of joint birthday party. so right after i get pulled out of the water i come out of the woods alone like completely drenched and COVERED in black mud and grass, and AS SOON as one of the kids sees me they all instantly start screaming and pointing like i'm some sort of lagoon creature. it was bad enough that i was kind of limping and scraping the mud off of me. so when i get to this fountain thing that's spraying all of these kids just sit there and stare at me for the entire time i'm just getting blasted by the sprinkler things. and to the tulsa parks, i'm sorry if i either ruined someone's birthday that day or clogged the pipes with mud. regardless, i'd play either red or blackhawk every day of my life for the rest of eternity if i could. oh yeah, thanks a lot to all of my friends for telling me how much like [censored] i smelled on the way back to the host hotel. to this day, i have dark, poop-looking stains all over a pair of my shorts.

as long as no one tells my parents this i'll be okay. so i'm sitting in bowling green at a friends house at like 2 am on a friday and we're just tossing a frisbee on his street and drinking some beers and all of the sudden some jerkoff drives by with like 4 other kids in the car and they all just flick us off and cuss up a storm at us. i just completely snap and while they're slowing cruising down the street, and i mean, down as in slightly downhill as well, they get about 300 feet away before i'm back from my trunk with a really beat dx firebird and though it was kind of dark i threw a freaking LASER deadball straight directly into the back window of their crappy old explorer. though we'll never really know, being that we hopped in my car and pushed like 80 through his neightborhood to get to my house, the impact from about 400 or so feet made an awful enough noise for me to sprint to my car. fortunatley, the name on the disc was something ridiculous and i had found it in tucson, arizona. lol, firebird. though this obviously wasn't during a round, we played a glow round earlier that evening at hobson grove. so this may partially count. we were pumped on disc golf at that moment anyhow.

Last saturday after our first round at the Eugene Celebration, Nate and Colin Sexton and I decided to play a round at our home course, Willamette. It has a bunch of soccer fields to warm up in, plus we had these sweet boomerangs we wanted to try out. These things BOMBED! We could launch these things away from us like 150' and have them helix into the air about another 100' feet before landing BEHIND us 150' - just insane flight paths. If you've ever thrown a high class boomerang you know what I mean.
Anyway, I'm about 100' away from Nate and Colin when they yell, "take this!" and launch one at me. It was obiously a joke, because you can't aim them worth beans, they just kinda take off and dance around in the air for awhile...so I thought. I'm looking into the sun so I have no idea where the boomerang is, but Nate and Colin are freakin out and start yelling, "Its right above you dude!" So I cup both my hands over my brow to block out the sun and try to get a fix on the thing, since I can't see it I just turn around and mildly expect to get hit in the back...WHAM...right in the face! Somehow it went over me, helixed back and dive bombed me right in the face! Perfect Kill Shot. The crazy thing was, since I had my hands up, I ended up catching it in between my forearms after it drilled me. Absolutley one in a million. We laughed really, really hard.

Ok, this one was pretty good. Playing a round at DeLaveaga and walking down the 17th (gravity) fairway, when all of sudden I notice a stream of water falling out of a tree about 35ft high. Perplexed, I pointed it out to Tony Tran and Bob Joseph. It hadn't rained in weeks and we really didn't quite know what to make of it. We looked up and the spot that it was coming from was a tree trunk that was leaning almost horizontal, only about 6" wide. It seemed to be flowing steady for about 2-3 minutes. Tony and I gave up trying to figure it out and Bob went over to the trickle and put his hand in it, brought his wet hand up to his nose and got a good whiff and said, "it's just water" Tony and I laughed and looked at each other and said, "yeah right, who knows what the #@(% that stuff is..." and as we walk away Tony says, it was probably squirrel [censored]- sure enough as we moved further, we could see that there was a squirrel right there jumping around excited like he just schooled us. The look on Bob's face was priceless!

During a round my dog decided to mark a tree that split into two about a foot off the ground. While in the lifted leg stance and before starting the flow he decides to switch it up. In one quick motion shifts his back legs, one on either side, up the tree about 2 1/2 feet up. So basically taking a dump int the crux of the tree in almost a vertical , upside down stance. And to top it off on the way to the next tee a cop stopped us after seeing it and told me it made his day.
This one is on me. I was playing a round with my brother and my breakfast had to get out. so he had two towels, which one he had stolen from my mom. more of a rag. so i asked him if i could see his towel and finished my biz, man was he ticked.

I'd have to say the funniest thing that happened was while I was out for a casual round with Barrett, Katrina, Cord, John and Dave. Barrett was on the tee, about to tee when a cyclist rode past the pin on the road behind the hole...without thinking(obviously)Cord yelled out...DEER! We just fell apart as the rest of the "herd", if you will, went racing past after the leader....now that was some goooood stuff! :D
