What is the funniest thing you've ever seen playing disc golf?

A loose interpretation...

There was a kid that was on a hole where the street runs parallel to the hole and so the kid threw down the street and had his disc catch up with a truck that was going about 30 mph and it shattered the trucks back window.

Big Arms on the Brazos- two or three years ago...Jeff Ohnesorge (thats as close as I can get) is standing in front of his ol lady at the the awards, and she has her arms around jeff, who is caressing her arms....Next thing you know, Cruz taps the girl on the shoulder, and sneaks into her posistion with out Jeff noticing. So now, Cruz has his arms around Jeff, who thinks it is his girl. This goes on for a few moments...I am not sure what made Jeff snap- either Cruz starting blowing on his ear, of Jeff felt Cruz's whiskers....His reaction was priceless! Too bad there are no pictures- that was the funniest **** thing I have ever seen...

you getting SKINNED last night by those 2 HACKERS :D and the sad thing is Jeff O is still playing adv :eek:

you playing Twin parks this sat?

yes


shut your donkey

hey, that was me!!!

Playing a casual round at Veteran's........we all throw on hole 5 and Clayton, of course, starts the "I'm parked!" chant before we even start down the hill. As we get to where we can see the bucket we can see Clayton is touching the pole, of course this starts the shiet talking all over again and everyone tells him to shut up (like that's going happen ). After everyone throws their upshots and we start walking toward the basket a dog runs out of the woods, goes straight to Clayton's disc and pees on it :D. It was even funnier when someone commented " I wish I would have thought of doing that" :D:D.

Bixby leaping from the teepad like a tigress in jewels, Spandex, and a helmet. :D

Ed Burde's form. Ed Burde's skill level with that form. :D

A.O. Fisher in Dayton, Ohio Hole 8. The hole plays along the park road and is about 480ft. So a friend of mine is getting ready to tee off with a disc he just found and a car is heading out of the park so we see its front end. my friend throws this disc with enough hyzer to kill a horse but the disc starts to flip and heads for the road which then enters the mini van through the passenger side window and all we can hear is the disc bouncing around in the car and it's brakes squealing, when the car stop a kid jumps half way out the window and welling I'm keeping it and drives away but the look on his face priceless.

We were playing Warwick and my brother was having a very bad day. So we step up to the tee on #7? (drive into big hill that leads into the woods), and he finally gets into a drive...but it hits a tree, drops straight down, lands on it's edge and rolls down the hill....past the tee, and ends up about 50 feet behind the tee box!! I thought he was gonna kill somebody!!

my first summer of playing a casual group behind us must have got antsy. A guy with us was drinking a few tallboys, and as one of us was about to shoot, he was standing there with his beer held from the top with his fingertips. A half second later his beer EXPLODED. Knocked right out of his hands from behind. We had come to find the offending disc in our immediate area, from the group behind us, so homeboy snatched up the disc, stomped back there and berated the nuckleheads for about five minutes, and ended up getting a pair of beers as restitution.

Back in the 80�s I was playing at Klineman in Mesa Arizona. Mike Trebee (not sure of spelling) was driving on # 8. He grip locked and the disc headed full speed, right a kid who just happened to be holding a large size bag of unopened potato chips out in front of her body. The disc hit the bag and it exploded sending chips flying. If not for the bag of chips it would have been ugly. :eek: :D

thats hole 7 at warwick...i've done the same thing but from about halfway down the small cliff on the left (nothing like a 2nd chance at the first drive). I took a KC Pro banshee to hook it left around some trees but it started to hook too soon, hit a tree and landed back at the front edge of the concrete.

I once hit a tree that was 20' or so in front of the tee, had the disc glance upwards and must have caught some wind because it floated back over my head and landed another 20' behind me.

Two teenagers playing in the rain in their boxers. It was quite odd.

Another one:
My friend ZiggL trying to retrieve discs from the ice at JRP. He wore waders with an inflatable intertube around the top and broke the ice with his elbows while trying to hold the intertube down below the top of the waders. He got about 30' out when the water came in over the top of his waders. He bailed and headed for the car shivering. Nelly and I tried to follow him but there was ice on the hill to get to the parking lot so everytime we got halfway we would slip and slide back down the hill on our stomachs, barely able to stop ourselves before sliding into the frozen lake. Took 5 or 6 tries before we set up a belay line with our arms and chipped steps into the ice with our boots.

At Veteran's Park in TX on hole #7 there was a strange looking "guy?" hanging out above the basket. As we walked down the fairway we were giggling amoungst ourselves at the Saturday Night Live "Pat" look a like. After we completed the hole, "Pat" asked the most innocent, youngest, naive guy of the bunch.....

"Hey, this discgolf looks cool. What else are you into?"

Jeff answered, "What do you mean?"

"Pat" replied, "Well, you know?!?!? Do you like to give or receive?"

Jeff then understood that this guy was either wanting a hummer, or needing to give a hummer.....and i don't mean the GM SUV!!!!!

This happened about 6 years ago....LMAO!!!! It still cracks me up.

On those lines of My-Hero's,

I was playing a round at Riverside here in Tulsa and I was playing in a group with one of the Perry brothers. It was a HOT August day and this long blonde hair "Girl" came accross the bridge on 18 with a very short skirt with heels and a sweater on. Right away I thought something was wrong with the picture. Stu says to me
"Look at that hot piece of [*****] walking over the bridge"
I didn't reply right away because I still thought something was wrong with this "girl" that was coming toward us. We were both near the walking path so it was inevidable that this "girl" was going to walk by us. Stu and I are just staring this "girl" down and she walks by us and says
"Hey there you sexy thangs" Stu was like "Hey baby what's up?"
and stated talking to "her" I on the other hand about lost my lunch once I saw that enormous Adams Apple. I thought it was a dead giveaway with that but Stu just thought he stumbled upon his big break with a hot chick. After they exchanged numbers I pulled him a side and broke the news to him that the "chick" he was getting all worked about was a DUDE!

oh gross!

hahahahahaha thast awesome. i feel bad for that guy.

and i mean the tranny

I came across (I mean saw :o) two teens getting it on at hole 11 in Montrose, Colorado. Hole 11 is a short hole with many trees and shrubs and these randy teens apparently did not realize they were on the left side of the fairway. I did not see them as I stepped up to the tee and threw my spike hyzer. It was short and came down about 15 feet from the two kids who immediately sat up and tried to cover up. Now I teach high school at a nearby town and my only hope as I approached was that they were not my students. Thankfully they were not and I retrieved my disc, excused myself for playing through, and kept going. I don't know if they did but they were young so who knows?

thats a good one!!! :) :D

What is the funniest thing you've ever seen playing disc golf?

I'd have to say the person called Crazy John Brooks. ;) Why? He just is!

This winter South Bend, Indiana was having some major problems with the crow population and the noise they were creating. During a warm snap I took my daughter to Rum Village to play and we noticed the flock of 200 or so crows making quite a racket. After a semi-lousy 14 or 15 holes I chinged a 50’ foot put to save par and I screamed “YEAH!” The crows immediately fell silent for about 10 seconds and then slowly went back to their cawing. My 7-year-old girl giggled about that for a good 5 minutes and still talks about that to this day.

Better yet, that same day I went to drive off one of the tee-pads there and as I reached back to start my throw I dropped my disc. I must’ve looked like a complete klutz. I have no idea what happened – brain fart maybe? That sent my precious little girl into another giggle fit that lasted at least 10 minutes.

-Dave

Threw a disc into some woods and found it between the legs of a sleeping bum. He had been reading a playboy and had obviously been getting fresh. I didn't have any rubber gloves so I decided I wouldn't play it where it lay.

That sounds like reason enough to declare a disc lost lol. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The cops showed up and asked us why we were out in the rain. We quickly justified ourselves as "frequent" disc golfers of the park. We tried to rat on the kids, but they had run off in a giddy sort of metrosexual fashion.

We sure are idiots, Cdale. How is it that that frozen ZiggL sprinted up the hill in the ice and we were left to slide.

Guess we are dumb southerners that have no idea what ICE is...

this wasn't seen by me personally, but i had a couple friends see it while playing a round at Legion Park in Marion, IA (Legion of Doom course)... i actually don't know if its that funny even...

they came to hole 6, a 275 or so uphill hole with the first 150 or so at a 40 degree angle, they threw and came over the hill to find an old homeless man masturbating on the bench of hole 7!!! he asked them if they wanted to... and kept at it the WHOLE TIME!!! they told him to get the [*****] out of there and chased him away...

has to be the craziest thing i have ever heard of! i don't know how "funny" it is as it could have been someone with young kids who stumbled across this masturbating homeless man

<font color="666666"> </font> hole 18 @ camden. a nuclear family of four biking on path stops to let our group play thru. my roc got chains from the tee and i started dancing around and then turned to the family and yelled "THAT'S AN ACE PEOPLE, WOOHOO!" then paul said it didn't stick and everyone laughed at me. unrelated times: hit a woodpecker and killed it with drive on #13 @ Davenport; caught an upshot in midair off a sapling 10 ft. in front of me in Dubuque; saw A-Train hit a tree that waited 2 sec then fell into the fairway

There is a guy in Michigan Called Fall Down Phil.
This guy actually takes a spill after every drive,
the A3 guys will know exactly who I am talking about.
Played a round with him several years ago
Funny Guy & Funny Golfer

There was little girl who would swim around in the creek at Colonial Park and if you threw your disc in she say that she would only get it if you gave her some money for getting it which was stupid because its only 6in deep and i could get my self and besides i was tired her begging for money all the time. Any ways were throwing hole 16 one day and she is riding in front of us her bike along the creek and she feel of her bike in to the creek and I thought that was funny.

lol thats mean as he!!

Was playing a round of weekly doubles @ Rotary and we heard screaming and wooohoooing coming form the group in front of us. It seems that one of them aced a trash can that was a little ways away from the fairway and pin. The funniest part was him trying to collect his ace pool money.

I did not see this happen, however "CDALE" did.
Our Memphis Disc Golf president and him were meeting some "City of Collierville,Tn" personnel trying to demonstrate to them the joys of having a disc golf course at a city park.

They met at a possible future course site. The president grabbed a disc for his presentation. They were next to a parking lot and he wanted to show the City park people how shots were made just to give them an idea of how hard or long generally people can throw. He rips it, i think he grip locked it, and as a lady in a Mini-Van was backing out, he taxed the side or hood of her car.

Thankfully he apologized and the lady accepted. Talk about bad fortune.... Simply trying to edcuate suburb city about the joys of putting in a course or two and to have that happen, YOWCHEE!!!!.

Needless to say we are getting the 18 hole course we want, it's just now a matter of when.

Ok I live next to a disc golf course and on our way home from shopping, we decided to see who was out playing so we drove though the park. The only people we could see were 2 guys and a girl playing... when we got closer we relized that the two guys were playing naked and running between shots... not a good sight.

A couple of years ago shaggs, monkey man, and myself went to the Ozark Mountain open fall tourney. Shawn Sinclair had set up this sweeeet glo course. So we decided to munch some fun-guy, and lets the games begin. What started out as a regular round of glow turned into a frenzy of broken glow sticks that were being spread abroad(including all over us). We were running around through the woods acting a fool when we got out to the next tee, covered in glow goo, and the guys on the tee were laughing so hard at us, we just joined in laughing hysterically(big suprise there). :D

I got one for you. One time while i was playing disc golf i saw someone using the disc golf basket as a barbeque grill. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Hmmmm......

I was playing ECU's course in Greenville NC with Schweb. We were playing the alt course. There is one hole that goes along down a road (from 16's tee, behind the softball field towards the baseball field).
It was right when Orcs had just come out and Schweb was just loving those things. He bombs on and it S'd for ever. If hyzered out and looked like it was going into the road.
It ended it landing in some dudes pick up while he was going down the road. The guy didn't even stop.
The funniest part was Schweb was like "that's gotta be my longest drive ever - that thing is gonna go for miles"

I didn't see it, but this made the local news and radio:

Black Lab Retrieves Pot, Causes Owner's Drug Arrest
Dog Wades Into Creek, Retrieves Pot, Takes It To Officer

POSTED: 8:22 am CST February 16, 2005
UPDATED: 8:50 am CST February 16, 2005

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- JD the Labrador Retriever meant well, but he has landed his owner in a mess of trouble.

Police said his owner, Matthew Porter, of Richland Hills, was playing Frisbee golf with two friends at a suburban Dallas-Fort Worth course Monday when a police officer arrived.

The officer thought he smelled burning marijuana, so he asked the men for identification and began checking for outstanding warrants.

JD, apparently sensing the party was over, waded into nearby Bear Creek, retrieved a plastic bag containing pot and brought it to the officer.

The black Lab's 25-year-old owner was charged with possessing drug paraphernalia. Micah Hays, 24, was charged with marijuana possession. The third member of the party -- a 31-year-old Mansfield man -- wasn't charged. JD was turned over to him.

About two months ago, there were six of us playing at Lincoln Park in Spfld. IL during Sat. morning league. On hole #4, one guy in the group lets a T-Bird go off the tee pad and turns it over just alittle too much. It keeps turning right towards the road that runs parallel to the fairway. Out of nowhere, a city police car is seen driving down the road at about 30 mph. The disc just seems to keep going towards the road and then hits the drivers side window of the cop car just before it disappeared behind a hill along the fairway. We all started hooting and laughing on the tee pad at what we had just witnessed. About a minute later, the police car reappeared from behind the hill coming back in the other direction.

He pulled over on the side of the fairway as we were walking up. I went over and talked to him and apologized, of course, for what had happened. It only left a small smudge mark on his window, and fortunately, his window was up. Otherwise, it would have probably got him in the side of the head.

He was cool about it though and said he had a brother that played disc golf before. I told him he should try it some day.

arrested for possesing a plant. nothing like a good ol' war on drugs :o:D

Tahoe Tribune 2000 2001? David Geeenwells drive comes to rest in the fairway. Before he and the group can get to it, a Coyote (I can't believe that's spelled right) picks up his discs and starts trotting off with it ....it got probably 100 feet or so before MadDawg McCree was able to spook the critter into dropping David's disc :o

I don't know if he saved the par?

This happened after a round of disc golf a few years ago...


We were discussing the day's events over a cold beer when it was mentioned that George Michael had been involved in a 'sex sting' at a public park's restroom.

I said, "WHAT??!!?? /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif THIS CAN'T BE! COME ON!! :eek: There's NO WAY George Michael would ever do such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!" Then I was told even more of the 'details' and I was even MORE astonished replying that 'George Michael COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT'...and my friends are going on and on and on - on how 'obvious' this guy was...being in the media, tabloids, etc... I kept saying that George Michael seemed to be a masculine enough guy to me...! They looked at me like I was crazy...and I thought the same thing of them! This went on for awhile and I continued to be in MAJOR denial.

I just couldn't understand how my beloved "Sport's Machine" guy could let me down like that...

It wasn't until the next day that I was enlightened by a friend to whom I was relating this story...she was laughing her flocking ***** off at my stupidity. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

This fall I was playing on the 9 hole course in Naperville, IL with my 7 year old daughter and my dad. All three of us are new to disc golf but I had the most experience. On the thrid hole (I think) my girl threw the drive of he life. The hole went downhill and the Cyclone 2 she threw followed the slope perfectly. My dad on the other hand found a tree...several of them. The scores for that hole went like this:

Me - 3
7 year old girl - 4
59 year old man - 5

I never heard the end of it..."HAHA I beat grandpa!!!" My dad was furious - I laughed.

-DaveB

Alright i got one more. Playing winter league in Rockford, Ill some years ago there is this one hole which(kind of) shared a fairway with a massive tobbogan run. The kids would start way behind us and end up down by the basket. So needless to say we were constantly waiting for them to move. Ol' Cannon decides to rip it anyway. He puts his polaris on a friggin' laserbeam for the pin. I mean it was gonna catch some metal if not go in for sure. When about 15' from the pin, this kid(no older than 6-7) reaches up from off of his sled in a heroic effort not that different than that of a MLB outfielder robbing someone of a HR, snatches the disc mid-flight and starts running around as if he had just caught the game winning touchdown in the super bowl!!! I have seen some people turn red in my time, but man if you could have seen Cannon's face!!! It went something like this. :eek: :confused: :mad::mad:

Just to clarify for those not in the 'know':

I just couldn't understand how my beloved "'George Michael' (- edit mine) Sport's Machine" guy could let me down like that...


The "George Michael Sport's Machine" is the longest running sport's show in syndication, since 1984. G.M.S.M.'s even won an Emmy. It typically airs on Sunday's after your late evening news...

I still get a ton of laughs (on me! ) with this one...WHEN I tell it right... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

at the new course in greenville, nc MTL had to **** like a race horse and ran off into the woods......when he came out he had a little wet spot on the front of his pants......i know i died laughing

wow, somebody needs to teach the boy how to shake, make that 2 times that mtl has wet himself at the meadow.

Did he say that before or after it landed?

after

freakin hilarious!!!!! :D:D

What a great way to lose a disc!!! :D:D:D

the funniest thing i ever saw was at Kentwood in Raleigh NC on this one hole that runs parellel to the road, my friend nailed a drivers ed car and the student freaked and swerved that crazy, he had no idea what happen.

I didn't actually see it, but I know there has been a mid-air disc collision at Kentwood where 7 and 16 cross. During an event.

that would be insane to see. bad for the 2 guys throwing, but insane to watch

I was playing once at a park and up in the trees next to the teepad i heard weird noises and ther were two 13or14 year old girls up in a tree and one had her pants half way off so i said sorry to interupt and continued to play.

This happened just this past Saturday.
A freind shows up completely drunk and wants to play a round with us. On the second hole tee pad he pulls of this amazing combination in one quick fluid motion. First he grip locks the disc so bad it goes 90 Degrees off the tee straight into the woods. He then spins all the way around on his follow through falling completely down almost face first. After hitting the ground he ****** himself.
He then continued on and played along with us like nothing had happened with a big old wet spot, lol.

Brad,

Please tell me that was Clark!!! I will tell you a story that is just as funny and involves a kid who was just as drunk (no, it wasn't me) when I come out for the Ace Race this weekend. I would post it here, but it is really long and involves pantomime.

John

LOL, no it wasn't Clark, I wish. He was however on the card and a witness.
I'll give you a hint.
It starts with A and ends with Train.

LOL.

He didn't do it when he fell down. He was relieving himself behind the table on hole two while you were teeing off. Not sure if he had a problem with removal or just couldn't hold it but when he walked up to the tee with a soft ball size puddle I about fell off the bench.

The Train is going to run off the track when he reads this! :eek:

Two instances come to mind, one secondhand and one I saw in person. (Both involving non-english speaking groups!)
The first, related to me by a friend, occurred at Bearskin Creek in Monroe, NC, a course crammed in to a small park. My friend comes to hole #15, and there is a crowd of Mexicanos around the basket. Evidently, there was a party going on, and my friend, not liking the odds (50 of them, 1 of him), passed on the drive and headed to tee #16. Passing the #15 basket, he notices there is smoke coming from the area, and on closer inspection he sees that the Mexicanos have lined the basket with aluminum foil and were roasting chickens tied to the chains!
The second instance I saw at Reedy Creek in Charlotte. Hole #2, my group comes to the tee and there is a large (75+) group of Asians all in the middle of the freaking fairway! Grownups, children, mothers holding babies. I think they were Vietnamese Montagnards. We politely try to tell them that they were in a dangerous spot, and that even though we wouldn't throw in to them, that we knew there were plenty of guys that wouldn't hesitate to take a free shot! No comprehension whatsoever.
We patiently wait (they gotta move sometime!) while a couple groups pass us, and skip to #3. After about ten minutes, a couple of fellas from the local college come through, and they yell at the Asians just as we and several other groups have done, to no avail. One of the guys says "Well, I LIKE this hole" and proceeds to bomb one right in to the middle of the crowd.
Man, you'd have thought a bomb had gone off! A couple of the Asians, evidently the leaders, started blowing on whistles like there was no tomorrow, and the whole crowd disappeared into the woods like ghosts, without a word and so fast they were a blur. We could still hear those whistles a half mile away through the woods! I was rolling on the teebox with tears coming from my eyes. (I was just happy that nobody got hurt!) It was a surreal experience, to say the least!

You just better hope they don't blow the whistles again and come back for revenge. :D

cruz out of lubbock one time wore a t-shirt to our tourney that said big spring sux. so after the tourney was winding down me and a buddy snuck up behind cruz grabbed a handful of shirt each and ripped the whole thing right off his [*****]. all that was left was the collar. oh yeah and i still have a piece of that thing tied to my old bag in my closet.

at san angelo for the first crush on the concho it was a big party there was a good turnout everybody knew everybody. well our camp was feeling extremely good just before dark, and i think it was robert haybert that rode by on this sweet little bmx so in my brilliant mind i thought i would ask to take a spin on the bike. as i rode away i tryed this and that and got aways away on a little paved camp road. when i turned around i noticed the little drainage dip by our camp. i decided i would blow everyones mind with a sweet little hop over the ditch. i pumped as hard as i could down that little road knowing it would make it easier to clear if i was haulin (*****) im not sure where it went wrong but i never pulled up for the hop and drove the bike into the ditch at full speed. i went over the bars instantly and began to flip with the bike flipping behind me. i landed quite aways away from the scene of the accident in a mangled mess with the bike to the cheer of the entire tourney that had seen me flying down the road. i will never live that one down.

I have posted this on a different thread, but it is relavent here as well.
Playing Shillito in KY, teeing from 11 I believe, got my first ;) ACE ;) It actually landed in another basket near the fairway. It was a little wierd because as soon as I let it go, me and my buddy both knew it was all chains.

That would be affectionatly known as a black ace. If you get one of these at Larry Ast's house, you get yer name painted backward on the red pines Aces plaque. :p

And you gotta buy Larry a twelve pack, lol! /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Two instances:
First time, my buddy shanest and I were on our home course which is frequented by walkers of all shapes and sizes. Well of course a woman who had to of weighed about 350lbs was walking with her tiny little dachsund. We waited about 15 minutes for her to clear across the tee and when we were about to drive, she fell. Ive never seen someone fall so hard and fast over nothing in my entire life. There was nothing to trip on, her dog didnt pull her, she just fell. Shanest and I tried to help her up, but we couldnt get her back up. Finally a couple of other guys came and it took the the four of us to life her back on her feet.

Second occurence was about 150' from this hole which is on the same path, but the hole we were playing is filled with walkers. A group of women came wlalking down the path, and realized we were about to drive so they waited on the left side of the fairway about 200' down. They signaled that they wanted us to throw so shane let one rip. Ive never seen a disc go so fast at someones head before in my life. It almost hit both of them in the face, but they ducked (THANK GOD). Never saw anything soo funny in my life.

Britt 4 putting on hole 2 during a mini here at the Z :cool::o:D

We were playing at Legion Park, Legion of Doom course, and were on Hole 17, the long open one. We all threw and then my buddy Aaron (FlyinHigh) threw this huge hyzer flip that went all the way pin high and faded to the left a little where a guy and his small daughter were biking. They were riding on of those psuedo-tandem bikes that are a regular bike with like half of one attched at the back which can pivot some, and the disc nailed the latter of the two which the small girl was riding. You could see it was going at them and the disc chased them for a second as we all yelled "fore!" at them. They obviously didn't see it coming as the disc nailed the girls tire and made a sound like a disc hitting a metal pole. Noone was hurt, but it sure as he ll was funny! Another funny thing I saw from the same person was at Turkey Creek in Iowa City/Corallville, where he threw this big sweeping hyzer which we watched track at this big biker guys head. It was at full speed when it nailed him square in the back on the head and he instantly dropped to the ground. I was sure we were all getting the sh it beaten out of us by him and his huge biker friends and I watched as Aaron sorta made a turn and disappeared into the woods to avoid confrontation with this huge biker dude. It had to be the worst example of someone gettinghit with a disc as we knew it was going straight for him the whole time and when it did hit, it was square in the back of his head and he just dropped like a rock. It turns out that he was more of a stoner type dude and he was just like "Aww.. thats cool man, sh it happens, I actually just got hit by a friend a few days ago..." and he laughed it off...

Today at Johnson Road Park Nelly and I were playing safari holes. We played from 3's tee to 4's basket. My shot came in over the top of 3's basket, hit a tree past it, bounced back, hit another tree in front of the basket, landed on top of the basket, then fell through into the chains. It's the second time I've aced 3, but this time it wasn't on purpose...a good old black ace. :D

2 things my friend did different occasions. Cold wet day he went into some water that usually isnt on the side of fairway so he climbs a flimbsy tree and tries to bend it down towards the water hanging upside down lets just say he left his soaked jacket on the next hole:) next it was summer and we were waiting to tee off on first hole at dretska and we were playing catch hot day so we had our shirts off well someone led him and he tried catching it but in the way was a metal trash can u know the ones with the cheese grater sides well he proceeded to basically rip his nipple off along with grating the whole left side of his chest and that was before the round ouch

This past Sunday my son and I were playing at Emerald Isle in SoCal, which is a Fly18 course. That means we were mixed in with groups of ball golfers.

We were waiting to tee off on the 16th hole, which tees over a lake to the green and basket, about 350ft away. There were two ball golfers ahead of us teeing off. It was obvious from their behavior on the tee that they had been enjoying a few adult beverages during their game.

After they teed off they hopped into their cart. The driver decided to try to climb up a nearby hill, going in the opposite direction from the green, but his cart was underpowered to climb the hill. He decided to make a hard U-turn, to head back down the hill, at which point his passenger decided to jump out of the cart.

Good move on the passenger's part, because once it started downhill the cart immediately struck a tree, which threw the driver out of the cart, about ten feet through the air. The cart glanced off the tree and kept rolling.

Luckily, the cart did not run over the driver (who was sprawled on the ground), but it did continue to head downhill, driverless. There was only one thing that could stop the cart on its downhill trek.

The lake.

The cart ended up submerged in the murky waters of Hole #16's lake. When we last saw the hapless duo, one of them was wading neck-deep in the water to retreive the golf bags from the cart. For these guys, it was an expensive day of ball-golfing, as the fee for a destroyed cart is about two grand.

What's that expression about humour being someone else's pain?!? That was painfully funny!!! :o:D

Are you two playing EIEIO?

great story! too bad you dont have pics!

Hope to - will make a final decision this weekend. I would play Advanced Master, and AJ (my son) would be <16 Junior. Neither of us will be driving a cart.

I had something happen to me that was more unbelievable than funny. Walking up to the first tee at Madeline Bertrand Park in Niles, Michigan I saw this gal teeing off. She was wearing a long dress and some slip-on shoes that struck me as a bit weird since it was about 45 out and real muddy. She threw a lame duck drive about 90 feet in the trees and I waited patiently by the tee box for her to finish out the hole. As I hear the “ching” of the number 1 basket about 150’ down the fairway I walked back to my bag for my disc and as I turn around there she is on the concrete pad teeing off AGAIN. She does this without so much as an “excuse me, may I drive again?” or a, “go ahead and play through cause I’m going to do this hole again.”

AAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGGG!

How she got back to the tee box so fast I’ll never know...

Hmmmm......

I was playing ECU's course in Greenville NC with Schweb. We were playing the alt course. There is one hole that goes along down a road (from 16's tee, behind the softball field towards the baseball field).
It was right when Orcs had just come out and Schweb was just loving those things. He bombs on and it S'd for ever. If hyzered out and looked like it was going into the road.
It ended it landing in some dudes pick up while he was going down the road. The guy didn't even stop.
The funniest part was Schweb was like "that's gotta be my longest drive ever - that thing is gonna go for miles"



Did he say that before or after it landed?



freakin hilarious!!!!! :D:D

Yeah that was preTTy funny.

priceless!!! what was your expression as the guy drove off into the sunset?? :D

Another MTL story involving Orcs.....

At the Tarheel touranament last year at UNC, I was waking to my third round tee (10). Hole 9's basket is right at the tee and there is a a little bridge you have to cross to get to the basket / tee.

Chris Dickerson, a local, who is known to not really throw very far, steps up to the tee as I prepare to walk over the bridge and hollars "Hey MTL coming in." I turn around and hollar "you can't throw this far (the hole is like 240)"

As I get on the bridge, I roll my ankle, and fell off the side of the bridge (rather funny, since I was ok).

Literally a few seconds after I threw, Chris Dickerson's orc comes flying in and lands about 2 feet from me.

CuTT walks up, not realizing what happened, looks at me in the creek and the Orc 2 feet from me and hollars "Chris Dickerson knocked MTL off the bridge with an orc!!"

toooooo funny :D

shotttttttttttttttttttttttttt! :eek:

Just this past weekend at the Green Country Doubles in Tulsa, my partner and I were playing tough shot format at Chandler Park. We were doing okay and had played about 8 holes. We get to our 9th hole and both drive , the worst shot was about a 35ft putt. I put first and miss 2 inches low, as usual. My partner steps up to put and this not so small dog comes trotting towards us, so my partner backs away from the putt to wait for this mutt to clear out. Well, the dog decides that our marker is the place that it needs to lay down. We try to move the dog and he gets a little testy. So, I finally get the dog off of the marker and now he has decided that it should and does belong to him. I am now in a tug of war with a dog over my mini. The other group and the groups waiting to tee are rolling on the ground and now the crowd is in uncontrolable laughter. I wrestle the dog for a couple of minutes and drag him away from my partner, who steps up and misses the putt. I could have sworn that someone hired that dog to screw with us. :D

HOLY SHEET dats phunny :DLMAO!!! :) :D:D

Funny AND kinda mean: http://www.madisc.org/discus/clipart/proud.gif
Our local course has a skateboard park in it. As I crossed the creek to go to Tee pad #2 I noticed a skateboarder (who didn't notice me) down in a 5' deep gulley about to overturn a very large flat rock in the mud. He was holding his skateboard under one arm and lifting the opposite side of the rock with the other. Just as he got the rock up to vertical to finally see what was underneath...I let out a super loud "HISSSSS"...straight out of a horror movie! He TOTALLY freaked and let the rock fall back into the sloppy mud as he backpeddled like a madman nearly falling down. He finally looked up at me like "WTF"...and I said, "Uhhhh, sorry."

I kept hearing about the dangers of playing DG at this one place in Montana called the Diamond X ! Steep cliffs, intense 110 degree heat, and occasionally, rattlesnakes! I have never seen a rattler until this year, while playing early in the morning before a tournament started there. I was making my way through a part of the course that had the early morning sun hitting it. As I strolled to find my disc after a drive, I suddenly heard the dreaded rattle near my right foot! First note to self, "early sun = rattlesnake." Fearing a bite would soon be coming, I jumped back and to the left a little... out of its range. However, suddenly another rattle starts immediately right behind me by my left foot! Second note to self, "early sun = rattleSNAKES!"

I fricken had no idea where to go fearing a whole nest all around me, so within miliseconds, I had tiptoed out of the area, basically just stepping on thin air the whole way.

An old man named 2putt once rolled halfway down a hill after tripping over his disc golf bag...jumped up like nothing happened, cigarette still in his mouth :D

Playing Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge. A friend of mine throws his drive on hole 15 and lands about 10' from the basket. As we were walking down the fairway we notice two kids (16ish) on bikes near his disc. We walked up to the disc only to find out one of the kids [I'm a potty-mouth!] on it. Had to be the funniest moment I've had.

I'm playing hole 21 at Downriver during a casual round. I've been working on my left handed shot so I decide to try it... A total clingon that flys 45 degrees what it is supposed to do and makes its way through an impossible lane without hitting anything and shoots right between Kevin Locke's legs. As he pees on my disc (he was going on a mound, the mound stopped my disc right where he's peeing) The group of us bust up and he goes all over himself to laughing way to hard to urinate... Don't you just hate it when that happens?!?

I'm playing a tournament round with Brian McRee and Mitch Sonderfan last year. We were at Jacksonville NC and about to play hole 13, which is 1001 feet. The teeshot is downhill, so if you kill a roller and throw a good second shot, you can three it.

Well McRee threw a good roller and probably could get a simple 4 with an airshot, but decided to throw another roller and go for the 3.

There is a little stump in the fairway that represents being 300 feet from the pin - its maybe 2 inches high and 5 inches wide - considering the fairway is probably 100 feet wide, its super small.

McRee lands his roller and it hits this little stump and goes way left into a pile of rocks, doesn't get up and down and takes a 5 (he ended up losing in a playoff too....but thats just a sidenote).

McRee was super upset about ihs luck and as we sat on the next tee he was muttering stuff like "This is nuts" and "I can't believe this crap."

He then looked at the group and said "I mean that thing is so small, what are the chances of that happening?"

Without missing a beat, Mitch goes "50 50 , either you hit it, or you don't"

Playing Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge. A friend of mine throws his drive on hole 15 and lands about 10' from the basket. As we were walking down the fairway we notice two kids (16ish) on bikes near his disc. We walked up to the disc only to find out one of the kids [I'm a potty-mouth!] on it. Had to be the funniest moment I've had.



urinated, took a pee, pis sed. darn censor. :D

Number two was funnier.

A hat that read:

" I'm so broke, I can't even pay attention"

Our group got set to tee on our 420' hole 17 here in Ar. Daryl Bailey crushes one a little too good, and it flips. FORE! he yells, we see a head turn, then turn back and keep walking. FORE! he yells again, and again the head turns and spots the disc, turns back and keeps walking. FORE!!! we all yell. This guy turns just in time to see the disc a few feet from his face, and ducks- still holding the hand of his girlfriend! Bam, right in the bun on the back of her head. She did one of those wobbly kneed face plants then slowly helped herself up. As we walked down the fairway and asked if she was allright, we saw hands flying in the air and all we could hear was "You Son of a $%@*, you brought me all the way out here, and you ducked..." We could still hear her after we drove on 18. Now, anytime we want to watch a good shank from Daryl, all we have to say is "Get her!"

Me and my buds were getting ready to go play a round but we only had a few discs. We were gonna trade off or whatever so we were walking on our way up to the course. My buddies and I were making some jokes and we saw these dudes walking down from the course and one of them had his shirt off. So my buddy whispers "man...that guys kinda buff" in a perverted tone as some kind of sick joke. We all kinda went "ewww" and laughed. Then, as we got closer my buddy Yells: "Hey, You guys got any extra Dic*s?" We all started rolling. He actually meant to say discs cause we needed an extra but we all gave him [I'm a potty-mouth!] saying it was a freudian slip... :D



Don't know if I should laugh, or run away if I ever saw yall at a course. :D:confused: ;)

A guy in a tournament in the mountains, throw his disc intot he lake off the drive. Got up to the lake to see his disc floating, fished it out..cussed, launched it back into the lake, chucked the massive log he used to fish the disc out with, then sat on a rock to calm down, stood up picked the 50 or so pound rock up yelled chucked it into the lake, then turned and threw his upshot like nothing happen.

A bunch of us were playing at Twisted Acres in OKC, we were all having too good of a time when a guy gets on the teebox and throws about 200 feet full power BEHIND HIM!!! The disc must have slipped out of his hand. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen out on a golf course. I had to excuse myself for about 15 minutes because I could not control my laughter.

I was playing a casual with some buddies of mine aand we all drove as we staret to walk toward the basket a squirrel fell out of the tree and landed 2 feet in front of me. Im guessing he lost his/her balance and fell and he slammed onto the ground. He got up like nothin happend and scurried up the try as fast as he/she could. We were dyin

Playing a round Tourney round at Milo Mciver. I'm in the open lead group with Lane Mason. Lane thorws a crushed roller on the 1151 foot bohemouth hole by the river. (played a similar hole this year at Fling it was only 1000 ish length.. river on right hole way, anywho). He gets bad luck as his roller is pinned underneath a shrubby tree. The next shot was amazing, still 650' away he somehow he runs through the tree and throws an airbounce (underbranches) roller that lands perfect. As it screams down the fairway about 200' away I'm thinking that is perfect, 50' further a squirrel goes running across the fairway and the disc hits and jumps the squirrel. The disc went another 50'. After the laughing and disbelief subsided we all congratulated him on his easy 4.

"when i ride i ride the best, cause i come from the west!!" :DLMAO

Playing last year with a buddy of mine at Robert Morris park in Kalamazoo, I teed off the #13 hole which is very elevated and hyzers off for a righty about 240. H ave. runs to the right of the fairway with a chain link fence guarding OB. My shot ended up about 45 feet from the pin for a two. My buddy Mike put a drive straight...very straight, heading to the street. Just as it crossed over into OB land, a white mini van comes flying over the hill into sight. He smacked that van dead in the hood, skipping up and off the windshield, and fizzling out back in bounds closer to the pin than I was. I thinnk I 3 putt b/c i was laughing sooooooo hard.

greenville, nc aka G-vegas
first round of down east players cup. some spots of the course were real bug infested, so M.Hoffman is about tee off and right when he goes to his run up or hop up SMACK! he slaps him self in the face, and later went on to win the tourny.

note to self slap your self during a tournment

That is so wrong, but so funny.... http://themooneysuzuki.com/media/common/emoticons/punch.gif

No problem...I wish they wouldn't have deleted my original thread :mad:

So that is where my gold plated cart got to. LOL

I can finally submit this guys profile to the police.

I have 2 stories that share something in common. On hole 3 of my local course, there was a hispanic family that had parked on the side of the road and had a camp of lawn chairs set up. We walked over and explained that they were on the course, but pointed to the disc and proceeded to explain to us that they were no where near the basket.

Problem was that they were sitting where I normally aim so that the disc hyzers back to the basket. First player goes up and tries to adjust his shot for the group, and sure enough ends up missing bad left. So I decide to throw my normal shot. Let's see how to explain... She wasn't a big woman, but the chair could not accomodate the part of her that was in it.... She also wasn't fast enough to stand up before it smacks her between the cheeks (good thing it was a hyzer and not an anhyzer or I might of never seen the disc again).

They start to get mad until they saw how mad I was for her rubbing her s$$ against my tye die wildcat.

Story #2
One of the baskets in our local course is uphill and right in front of a pavillion area. I'm at the tee focusing on my up coming shot; I go into my run up. As I take a glance at the basket I see a woman (who must of been related to the one from the other story) bent completely over.

That caused me to lose focus, so I stopped my x step. I'm waiting for the lady to get out of my line of sight, but whatever it is she's doing, she's enjoying it cause she ain't moving. With her target inline with mine, I decide to aim for it. We here ching! I thought I'd had my first ace, but it had bounced off. I guess the sound lf the basket startled the lady into coming up for air.

That's not the funny part. On the next time around the course, my friend tells me to throw the same shot I just did and see if I could stick it. I tell him I don't have the a## to help me concentrate. He says, "visualize the a**..."

Last year my buddy Kenny and I were playing a round at Vienna Park, when rolled up to the long tees on hole 4. What did we see, but this guy and his lady playing "find the disc" in the middle of the fairway!

Gotta love stoned 40 year olds and their crazy games!

Okay, you might have to have lived in the south to appreciate this story.

I once threw a straight line disc that flipped in to a cedar tree. I am behind the tree looking for it when a friend of mine decides to clinb the tree. I told him not to worry, but he insisted he saw the disc and could reach it. Who am I to complain? So he is about 15 feet up when I hear him say,

"This tree has rats in it!" I told thim that rats tend not to live in trees and at about that time I hear him jump out the other side of the cedar, crashing through the outer branches and screaming.

He is 30 feet from the tree when he turns around and yells that there is a f**ing rat in the tree the size of a dog and it hissed at him. I laughed so hard I couldn't breath and needless to say I could not throw for the next two holes. Just typing this up has got me laughing again.

For those of you that do not know what he saw, it was a possum mother with babies. When he got close it hissed in his face to scare him away.

My putting. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I did see this one kid throw up seven times while watching the pros at the Oklahoma Open....Ay Ay Ay Tequila!!!!!!! :D

Well, even though it's starting to get cold, we still get out and play. So Thanksgiving morning three of us are out in 10* air with -5* wind chill which was actually not too bad. One of the guys says as we're teeing off on the 8th that he's toasty warm except for the breeze sneaking thru at his zipper. I think he's talking about the zipper on his jacket, but he says no the zipper on his trousers. Well, to butcher a famous line I told him, 'if he will please return his zipper to it's upright and locked position', I could stop laughing and tee off, and he could start to defrost his johnson :)

hell fook yeah, I love winter !

At Mt. Airy in Cincinnati I teed off and threw a driver straight down the fairway ... into the rear end off a deer!

Some guy who just stepped in dog poop and was told , on the disc golf course , that's good luck. 2 holes later , he got a hole in one :eek:

We see deer at South Mountain Park all the time and ocassionally try to throw discs at them. I can't remember anyone ever hitting one, although there a lot of trees and we are crappy disc golfers! :D:o:cool::) :D

''Into'' :othe rear end?

I was in Durango,Co at Kurt's place.We were standing on the teepad and heard FOUR ,a disc came in and landed right in a discgolf bag(nice shot C.Donaldson)I Mean RIGHT IN THE DIVIDIERS

Kansas City Wide Open - we had a guy on our card who torqued so hard off the teepad he went flying face first - belly flop sytle into a huge puddle of mud right in front of the teepad.

I couldn't stop laughing while everyone else went to see if he was okay. Of course he was, and it had been raining for days apparently.

During a doubles tournament in 2004 on a private course in Memphis TN. My doubles partner (who is a big guy 5'8" ~300lbs) and I are strategizing our last hole of the thrid round which was alternate shot. It was his throw, on a 270ft hole that was basically over a steep sloped valley which had a swamp at the bottom. We decided he should throw a safe slow turnover Roc to land under the basket. We knew if we dueced the hole we would make it to the finals.

He took a moderate run up on the really short natural tee pad, and when he set his plant foot down, he stepped on the muddy edge and did a piroet off the tee box. Instead of throwing his understable roc straight with a slight anhyzer, he cranks it off way right with a stink load of hyzer. Selfishly I go "oh crap" thinking he just shanked the drive and now we won't make finals. But for some reason, his beat up roc stabled out, faded, and landed 3 ft from the pin.

When I looked and saw this 300lb guy get up from the muddy trail, I couldn't help myself from laughing. I am really glad he did not get hurt, but what made the story funny was the fact that he threw it entirely wrong and still parked the hole.

To this day, all we have to say is the words "Bud Hill" and spin and we get a laugh out of eachother.

Seen this guy's dog , go over to his friends golf bag , laying on the ground, lifted it's leg and took a leak all over it !!!!! Dog finishes by kicking sand and dirt all over it. :eek:

I've seen this happen to a dog that's leash was attached to the owner's golf bag.
The funniest thing I've seen on a DGC was Mike Robinson driving to the top of the hill on #13 toboggan at USADGC 05. The disc had to have travelled over 500' in the air.

I have seen Mike do that before. He did at the state tourney this year...I think he was throwing a tsunami when he did it.

I was out with two of my friends at my local course this last summer, I was standing behind my friend on the right side of the teepad about the watch the other friend throw.
As my friend on the teepad throws, he gets a serious case of grip lock and throws the disc full speed squarely into the chest of the friend im standing behind. (hes not very good obviously). So my friend was left with a nice red line in the middle of his ribs...
Watching someone get hit with a disc like that right in front of you is absolutely hilarious. :D

We used to have neighbors in Ann Arbor that were the spitting image of the Flanders on the Simpsons. When "Ned" took "Rod" and "Todd" out for bike rides they were always in single file behind Dad and all wore helmets.

One day Johnny Sleamon threw his magnet on hole 12 at Brown Park (230ish). Just as he released "Ned", "Rod", and "Todd" came riding up alongside the hole. They caught up to his high floater shot as the disc took one hop and hit the pole. "Ned" looked over and yelled out "hibbity skibbity nice shot!" just before his front wheel wobbled and he toppled off the bike. "Rod" was quick to swerve and just missed "Ned", but "Todd" wasn't quite so fortunate and flew off his bike and onto "Ned".

I have seen someone get hit in the face with their own putter.


It was me.....


Playing doubles on evening, I can the putt and start talking to a person from the other team. As we are walking to the next tee, my partner picks up my disc out of the basket. We were about 20ft apart, when he lobs the disc underhand to me. However, about mid flight he realizes that he has not gotten my attention when he calls out my name. As I turn around the disc is about 2ft from my face and kabam! I get hit square in the teeth with my own putter! Thankfully it was more embarrasing then painful or damaging.

Upon finishing my round couple months ago at Rosedale in KC, KS I was walking past the 1st tee and noticed 3 guys getting ready to start their round...the first 2 had pretty crappy drives, then the 3rd guy steps up. HE HAS HIS INFANT SON ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF HIS TORSO FACING FORWARD in some kind of infant sling. He then parks it with as perfect a form as I could imagine with the added load. Made me smile! :)

2002 Memorial Fountain Hills- A player on my card held on to his drive a little too long and the errant disc sailed toward the road and into oncoming traffic. The disc hit squarely in middle of the right headlight of a transit bus- and stuck there. The bus would have kept going but we flagged it down and pulled the disc out of the headlight. :D

I played two consecutive rounds with another golfer, about a month apart, who had an "emergency" during the round. With this being wintertime and public bathrooms locked, he dropped his pants and plopped a deuce right on the course. I think he must have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. :D

he dropped his pants and plopped a deuce right on the course.:D

What was that guy's name who threw it? He was Phoenix local, I remember that much.

That is some funny sh*t, Denny!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jeff,
Any of you Northwest Arkansas guys remember the crazy girl at Gulley Park? I think she and KidRoc had a thing going...
This isn't really that funny but at the same course a friend of mine's errant up-shot had landed in a tree/bush overhanging a creek right behing the basket on hole #16 at Gulley, we were holding onto him while he was reaching for his disc when he calmly said "Whoa, pick me up now", we were confused that he didn't have the disc but picked him up none the less, after observing the 7-10 water snakes in the tree we understood..he almost reached into a bed of snakes.
Chad

Not sure if this funny or embarrassing.

Playing Oak Gove one year and seen two women , popping a squat in the bushes as I was looking for a lost disc !!!!! :eek:

that's funny? Seems normal to me.

Not sure if it's true or not but it's been said about 6 years ago there was a Distempered Squirrel that lived in a tree on the fairway of #8 at Walnut Ridge that would chase people around if they shot too near his tree. That'd be F'n hilarious to see a golfer running away from a squirrel..

I'd be friggin scared

tournament round at Shoaf Park in Fort Wayne (i like to call fort rain) ther ewas a birds nest with babies in a tree right by one of the baskets. needless to say momma bird was ticked that there was a tournament goin on.... every time someone would putt, you would see the mother swat down and go at it... either at the persons putt, or it would go for the persons head. i actually saw it knock out pat vitales putt. as funny as it was, i could not help but feel bad.

Seen this guy's dog , go over to his friends golf bag , laying on the ground, lifted it's leg and took a leak all over it !!!!! Dog finishes by kicking sand and dirt all over it. :eek:


I've seen this happen to a dog that's leash was attached to the owner's golf bag.
The funniest thing I've seen on a DGC was Mike Robinson driving to the top of the hill on #13 toboggan at USADGC 05. The disc had to have travelled over 500' in the air.



Watching Mike throw D rocks -- i asked him where he learned to throw it so high and he said by watching Sandstrom :D
i think it was an Orc he said he used on 13, though he did say he was throwing the Pro Wraith that day, for example on hole 2...

The funniest thing I saw out on the course was years ago at the old park downtown Vegas.

A bum threw a baseball at one of the players and ran off full speed looking back and ran square into a light pole and knocked himself out.

There was always something strange going on at that park. It was smack between the homeless shelter, the blood bank, and the liquor store. Miss that old park.

i think it was an Orc he said he used on 13, though he did say he was throwing the Pro Wraith that day, for example on hole 2...


I think every post I've made today has been disagreeing with you AviarX. Im sorry. I remember very vividly that he threw a Pro Wraith on top of 13's hill. He almost hit us when we were waiting to tee on 14. I think it was R1, Im not sure tho.

Was playing a round of weekly doubles @ Rotary and we heard screaming and wooohoooing coming form the group in front of us. It seems that one of them aced a trash can that was a little ways away from the fairway and pin. The funniest part was him trying to collect his ace pool money.


A friend of mine, the top U-16 player in the area this summer, was just being introduced to the game in early April and was on his first round out with one of the local players (Justin "Deuce" Gill) and myself... his first throw from hole #2 at Toledo's short Ottawa Park was a high hyzer (on a straight hole) that went straight into a trash can.

He signed it, the trash can still stands there signed and dated "Evan 'Trash Man' Hughes".

Funniest story I've got...
Middle of this summer I'm introducing some friends to the game. It is myself, my little bro, Justin Gill, and two local (non-PDGA..yet) local juniors. We're introducing a few friends of mine to the game... Johnny and Skyler are their names.

We're at Ottawa Park in Toledo which is in... shall I say.. an untrustworthy neighborhood. As we're driving on hole 11 a little kid on a bike is riding slowly towards the basket. We yell at him to look out for the discs, simple courtesy... but he doesn't move. He's not too close to the hole so we decide to drive.

Justin and myself get our drives off and the kid grabs them. He gets on his bike and takes off. He has a 250 foot headstart, he's peddling like mad on a bicycle. No way we get him, right?

Skyler Schmitt - sixth best cross country runner in the states of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky combined.
Johnny Ichrist - The top 800 meter runner in the HCAC (a Division 3 conference).

The kid was toast before he got a mile away. Johnny ripped him a new [I'm a potty-mouth!], yellin at the kid until he cried. Grabbed the kid's bike and hung it up in a tree about 15 feet up.

i think it was an Orc he said he used on 13, though he did say he was throwing the Pro Wraith that day, for example on hole 2...

you aren't really disagreeing with me -- rather you are confirming what i suspected. in response to your post about Mike throwing to the top of that hole, discchucker said it was a tsunami:


I have seen Mike do that before. He did at the state tourney this year...I think he was throwing a tsunami when he did it.



and i was pretty sure it was an Innova disc he threw at Am nationals. I know he told me he was using the Pro Wraith, and i thought he also had said he liked the Orc :confused:

At Moffitt in Houston this past November during warm-ups, there were 2 large dogs playing around. One was chained to a bench or something and the other was loose and sorta circling around it and they were having a great time playing. Several minutes later, after the loose dog had gone away, the dog that was tied up began to hump the air like mad!!! Literally jumping up in the air arching the back, sausage ready!!! It was hilarious.

Me..............with White hair and White eyebrows !!!!!! :cool:

Sent to me from a buddy. Keep in mind that in Pennsylvania, we had several inches of snow followed by torrential rains, so the water is ice cold right now.


Do you remember me telling you that I played a game of disc golf with a guy that had a very strange way of throwing?

Well I called him up for this Friday night to throw in the dark and everything was going good until the creek hole. In the creek where it gets really deep near that tree is where he put his disc. We spent a couple of minutes looking at the red glow from the bottom of the water for about 2 minutes. He kept saying that he was going to go in and get it. I kept telling him it was the deepest part of the creek. Now remember we had rain all day yesterday and it was really deep with a strong current. So I assumed that I got my point across to him to not go in so I went to retrieve my disc and finished out the hole. I would say the basket is about 100 feet from the edge of the water. So when I dropped my putt in and I flashed my spotlight back to where I last saw this guy and he was not there I flashed it in the water and I saw the top of his bald head in water. I then saw nothing I ran to edge of the creek bed and flashed my bright spotlight in the water and still saw nothing. He was totally submerged. He was under so long that I remember thinking that I was going to have to call his wife to tell her he drowned. My next thought was that they are going to shut the course down. This was my last thought before he reappeared some 40 feet down the creek. I had to pull his [I'm a potty-mouth!] out of the water. So as we were walking back to our cars I asked him why did he go in when I told him 5 times not to go in, warning him of how deep it was especially with all the rain and he said because he did not believe me. I asked him how deep it was when he last had his footing and he said the water was hitting his chin and it was still getting deeper. He said he was 5 feet away from the disc when the current took his footing away and pulled him under. When I helped him out of the water he just stood there shaking and really didn't say anything for a few minutes, and then we walked back to our cars.

Rundle Park DGC, Edmonton Alberta... sometime in about '99... hole #4 (which runs along the riverbank of the North Saskatchewan River)....
'Rags' (using his nickname to protect the innocent) steps up and lets go of his usual forehand drive. I can't remember, but it must have been the usual prevailing headwind and then some, 'cause when this thing turned over and headed over the bank with a vengenance, we all knew we'd never see the disc again.
Except, wait! Rags runs to the bank and sees that the disc has somehow landed flat on a cushion of air and is now floating down the river...
Within seconds he's in his skivvies and scrambling 80-100 feet down the riverbank - now he's in the water and going hard. The current is fairly strong, but the river flows east, so in other words, towards the tee. Therefore the disc went 'upstream' about 250 feet before the current started taking it to, well, Saskatchewan.
Anyways, he's going hard and the disc is moving pretty quick. It was hard to tell if he was going to be able to get there in time, but he had an uncanny line... without missing a beat he reaches out and grabs it just as it was about to slip past him. Unreal. Of course, we all start yelling and losing it.

I've seen a lot of people get wet going after discs, but this was ridiculous. It wasn't really 'funny', but certainly the most entertaining thing I've ever seen during a round. Unfortunately I don't remember what his score was on that hole...

Steve Mallett

i think it was an Orc he said he used on 13, though he did say he was throwing the Pro Wraith that day, for example on hole 2...



I didnt read thorough enough. I apologize.

no problem. thanks for letting me know exactly what he did throw up there (Wraith). in my defense, i am pretty sure he could have also gotten an Orc up there. the guy [Mike Robinson] is amazing. watching him throw sky D is a real treat!

Last weekend I had a puTT that bounced off the Chastity Belt then hit off a nearby tree, and then bounced into the basket.
My group could not believe it, I could not stop laughing for a few minutes, it was one of those things, if you had not seen it you would not believe it.

Grunion, playing disc golf :)

Two instances come to mind, one secondhand and one I saw in person. (Both involving non-english speaking groups!)
The first, related to me by a friend, occurred at Bearskin Creek in Monroe, NC, a course crammed in to a small park. My friend comes to hole #15, and there is a crowd of Mexicanos around the basket. Evidently, there was a party going on, and my friend, not liking the odds (50 of them, 1 of him), passed on the drive and headed to tee #16. Passing the #15 basket, he notices there is smoke coming from the area, and on closer inspection he sees that the Mexicanos have lined the basket with aluminum foil and were roasting chickens tied to the chains!
The second instance I saw at Reedy Creek in Charlotte. Hole #2, my group comes to the tee and there is a large (75+) group of Asians all in the middle of the freaking fairway! Grownups, children, mothers holding babies. I think they were Vietnamese Montagnards. We politely try to tell them that they were in a dangerous spot, and that even though we wouldn't throw in to them, that we knew there were plenty of guys that wouldn't hesitate to take a free shot! No comprehension whatsoever.
We patiently wait (they gotta move sometime!) while a couple groups pass us, and skip to #3. After about ten minutes, a couple of fellas from the local college come through, and they yell at the Asians just as we and several other groups have done, to no avail. One of the guys says "Well, I LIKE this hole" and proceeds to bomb one right in to the middle of the crowd.
Man, you'd have thought a bomb had gone off! A couple of the Asians, evidently the leaders, started blowing on whistles like there was no tomorrow, and the whole crowd disappeared into the woods like ghosts, without a word and so fast they were a blur. We could still hear those whistles a half mile away through the woods! I was rolling on the teebox with tears coming from my eyes. (I was just happy that nobody got hurt!) It was a surreal experience, to say the least!




I don't know what was the funniest to experience, but this was the funniest to read!

I was at a tournament at Dretzka in wisconsin and a person in my group grip locked his disc and threw 150 feet behind him then throwing from there he threw it into a tree and then managed to throw into another tree, he ended up taking a 9.

Seen a guy throw at a squirrel in a tree only to see the squirrel chase the guy to the next hole !!!!! :D

Might as well put my first post on these forums in this thread.

Last year my son and I were playing Acorn park in Roseville MN. The first hole has a water hazard and is also near the parking area. It isn't uncommon to see people fishing for discs or selling their recent finds in the parking lot. After my son and I got done with the hole we decided to see what was for sale.

As I was chatting with the guy selling discs we hear someone sorta screaming. I say sorta because it was pretty weak and was more like a loud whine than a yell. As we looked towards it we saw a kid (about 13) on a bike whining loudly as he looked back behind him. Behind him there was a deer, yes it was chasing him. Judging from the size it was probably an older faun. He rode right up to us and frantically asked us to help him get the deer away. Meanwhile the deer stopped maybe 3 feet from us and started eating. I told him to quit whining, because it is annoying, and then to wait 30 seconds and calming ride away. I also told him deer can sense fear, so try to relax. Sure enough, he rode away and he deer just stood there next to us eating. It was close enough that I could have petted it. The thing stayed in that area until we restarted our game 20 mins later or so.

Definitly a strange start to a game.

Playing the lss pleasure island classic in 40+ mile an hour wind. Watchin the pros yell 4 at groups 3 fairways over. kinda gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I saw John Ahart during the 1992 Pro Worlds Finals throw a
roller that went up a tree and stuck OB.

Deano... :eek:

2004 Rocket City Blast, on Hole #5 at Redstone Arsenal I hit a tree 20ft off the teebox and the disc flies backwards and lands 10ft behind the teebox. A guy in my group says "It's still your shot". Even though two of the people on my card had not thrown their first, I was marking my lie to throw my second.

2005 Rocket City Blast, Same Hole, same course.....
I hit the same tree! But this time only landing 10ft in front of the teebox.

Strangely enough I never hit this tree during practice rounds.

The guy in your group was wrong, It wasn't your turn. Distance from the hole (away player) isn't a consideration until after all players have teed off.

You should have gotten a courtesy violation for throwing out of order. :eek:


801.02 Order of Play
C. After all the players in the group have teed off, the player farthest from the hole (the away player) throws first. To facilitate flow of play, a player who is not farthest away may play next if the away player consents.

E. Throwing out of turn shall be considered a courtesy violation. See 801.01G.

Yeah, at the point I had been playing disc golf for 2 months, and we were on the last card of MA2. So things were pretty lax. I know better now, but hey it was a funny story.

I have a couple.

at a small really open 9 hole in rowlett, tx there is a hole that has a lake/large pond to the left and its a straight shot. Just really high grass if you miss the "mowed grass" or "fairway" Two of the first people chunk a hyzer into the water on the left. My buddy mike is soo scared to do the same he grip locks it, and throws it back behind him about 150 ft into the second pond that is behind the tee box. hilarious.

the next is semi-funny. Lake Lewisville Ice Bowl this last weekend. The 35MPH winds were crazy on two holes. 3 and 7 both are lake shots. Had a guy on our card take an honest 8 after he passed the basket with a tailwind shot, and the headwind upshot picked his putter up and tossed it about 30 ft behind him. Then on hole 7 we had a triple circle 9 when while throwing into a headwind a guy on our card threw his first 3 shots into the lake. crazy shots. Luckily i got away with only a 4 on both 3 and 7

Note the advantage of playing an Ice Bowl where there's really ice (on the lakes)! :)

Was watching a fellow golfer's drive - a black Star~Wraith - fly into the schule/briar-patch. Since he'd never played the course and didn't know the trouble he was in I exclaimed, "that's hairy"...and he calmy said, "...like my mother's back." :D How CLASSIC is that...?!!

There are some parts of the country where I would expect to hear something like that, Kansas wasn't one of them....

Guess I'll ahve to add it to the list. :eek:

Just yesterday, we were playing Dovillio in Tulsa. Hole #11 is across the street from some neighborhood houses. As we stood on the tee box, I noted that there was a dog sitting in the middle of the fairway, just sitting there watching us on the tee. Melissa Stacy throws her drive and the dog runs over and takes a quick snif. While he stands there, I throw a roller that goes right by him. He chases it until it stops, he picks it up in his mouth, looks back at us and I swear he held up his little paw and flipped me off because he trotted across the street to his house. We get there and he has dissapeared through a hole in his fence and he is laying in the backyard chewing on my sidewinder.

So we ring the doorbell, and this little kid answers. I "ask, do you have a black and white dog?" His response, "Nope don't have one." Man am I lucky his mom finally came to the door. she retreived my disc and apologized for the dog. I thought it was funny as he11.

But, Be warned of the watching dog at Dovillio. ;)

This was experienced rather than seen since it happened to me...

Was playing a doubles round at Veterans Park in Lex KY when this happened. We were at Hole #6 which sits at the intersection of a small creek and a river. It was raining and our shot was laying just a couple feet from the edge of the creek which had about a three feet drop to the mud and water below (water about a foot deep - mud probably deeper). My partner putted and missed and then I got in position and just as I released my disc the creek bank gave way. It was just a small portion that gave way but it was where by back foot was planted. I don't know what it looked like, I just remember hitting on by backside in the mud(The putt didn't have a chance). There was no pain (mud's soft), not even any laughter (for a few minutes) - just the look of shock on everyone's face as I tried to extract myself from the mud. I selected a seldom used disc to attempt to scrape the clumps of mud from myself. I finished the round but it wasn't pretty.

You're just begging the Hillbilly Mafia to re-put(t) you on their ($)hit-list...! :eek: /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'm a permanent fixture on that list. :D

I think Kansas has me on thier list also. ;)

Whenever you're in KC...we KNOW where you are, cuz we got helicoptors! :D

It's the only place I have ever played where they create wind by having them hover over you when you're putting.

Remote control!

Seen this little kid , maybe 4 years old or so , get out of his dads stroller , pick up his dads disc and trys to reach up and put it into the basket................................little kid starts to try and jump up and putt it in but he is too small..................starts crying.................turns the disc upside down and throws a thumber and it goes in !!!!!!!! Little kid stops crying and smiles !!!!!! :D

Sounds like Jeff LaGrassa on the putting green

I had a funny experience a couple months ago at Huntington Beach (CA) at a weekly. Our group had just got done playing hole 18 and was walking up to 1. If you know Huntington Beach (HB) the tee signs have mini-trash cans on them. As we were walking us this GIANT ground squirrel come running out of the trash can, down the tee sign pole and stood at the foot of a bush. This squirrel was not any ordinary cute little ground squirrel. This was a squirrel that had a belly, almost like a beer gut that was HUGE. Its hands/fee and tail were quite normal in size, but it's stomach was HUGE! Think Homer Simpson as a squirrel. It just stood there watching us as we drove on the hole, didn't move an inch. It just waited for us to leave so he could finish his "dinner." :eek:
http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&amp;hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;newwindow=1&amp;q=ground#$*&$!squirrels
There are normal ground squirrels. Not the one I saw where it's belly dragging pertruding out from the sides!

I was playing in Pueblo, CO with my wife. She teed off of hole #4 and drove right into a squirrel sitting on a nearby branch. The little guy dropped to the ground, looked at us as if to say "what the f#@%ck and ran off. I laughed so hard, I nearly wet myself.

Me and my dad were playing at this ball/disc golf course and these guys in a golf cart don't want to take the regular road up the hill so they decide to go up the hill(which is much steeper than the road) and figure out that they can't make it. They turn around and the guy in the passenger's seat jumps out and then the driver hits a tree with the cart and falls out the front. After that, the cart keeps rolling and goes into the lake with the clubs still in it. I think that on the next hole I fudged my shot because I was still laughing. Too bad they didn't have a camera or else it'd be a new season of "Jackass". Quite funny if you ask me.

But it did give you a good example of why not to drink and drive...

I drink better when I drive. :p

A friend of mine who has played causually for years but has never played in any organized tournaments is thinking about entering the tournament here in May. We were shooting a round while I was instructing him about the rules he should expect to encounter. While golfing one of the holes that has dense trees, his drive gets stuck 3/4 of the way up a 12ft tree. So of course, I tell him about the 2 meter rule. Telling him that it will cost him a stroke to get it out of the tree. He proceeds to tell me, "F*** that!", climbs the tree, grabs his disc, and tosses it while he was still in the tree. Throws a beautiful approach shot that lands within the putting circle, but the weight shift from his throw ends up over stressing a branch he was using for support. SNAP! He comes crashing down through the tree, breaking every branch he grabs onto to stop his fall, hits the sloped ground on foot, but is unable to maintain his balance and rolls over backwards down the sloped ground 3 times head over heals. He ended up with some minor scratches, a bit dirty, and dizzy.

Guess there is another solution to the tree stroke .

I'm not pointing this out to be a pest or anything, I just want to make sure that if you do play a PDGA tournament you don't lose any strokes or get messed up because of rules violations. The 2 meter penalty stroke isn't for getting the disc out of the tree, it's for being above the playing surface (see rule 803.08). Also, you must have a supporting point on the ground when throwing (see rule 803.04). Finally theres a two stroke penalty for damaging the course, including trees and such (see rule 803.05 F.).

Now, that being said I probably would have collapsed laughing if I had seen it.

Actually I believe the penalty is for intentionally destroying foilage and other course objects, markings, etc.

I don't think his fall was intentional, but sure has heck would have been funny.



I guess this is, but is not funny. We were playing from our new blue pads Sunday evening. There were park goers who know about disc golf around them but were unfamiliar with our new pads. There was about 10 of them with about 12 dogs running around near a creek by the basket. We yell and warn them about the danger they are about to be a part of. A few people throw fairly close to them, but when I step up, my foot slips on the grass and I let go early.....and my teebird heads almost full speed right at them 300ft away. We yell and scream to get them to scatter when we hear a YIPE!! My disc slammed right into a dogs leg. The dog was ok, just shaken up and scared. But we were trying to hide our laughter as to not be rude. When we got up there, I apologized, but the people were pretty cool about it, especailly since nothing bad happend to the dog.

the other day I was doing a clinic with these newbies to our sport.Gerrit,around 40 and his 9 year old son Vincent.Gerrit had a shot real close to some bushes and I told him that the best shot would be a side arm.He didn't know how to perform a side arm,so I was standing on his left showing him the shot.Then he tried....and before I knew it he had hit me real hard in the face with his eagle.Oh,he tried allright,but just forgot to let go of the disc when it was in front of him.His disc hit me real hard but because I was laughing so hard,I didn't feel a thing.I did walk with my hand over my mouth for the next 3 holes! Next time I will be standing atleast 6 feet behind him :D

Like most disc golfers, I have been hit with a disc multiple times. In fact, I have been hit three times. But being hit is not the funny part of the story.

Out of those three times, twice have been with my own putter.

Here it goes. First the unfunny one.

2nd Hit: I was hit in the leg with a skip shot while putting, by some casual rec players who had no idea you were not supposed to throw at people, and that they hurt.

1st Hit: Playing doubles, I sink our putt. My partner is on the far side of the basket, with one member of the opposite team, as I have the other person standing next to me. I ask my partner to retrieve my disc as me and our opponent walk to the next tee box. All of a sudden my partner calls out my name, a hair too late. I turn around and WHAM! My putter hits me square in the teeth. He called out my name after he threw the disc at me. Genius.

3rd Hit: A small group of us were playing/testing a proposed gold layout on our course. I layed up my shot under the basket, when a member of our group walks to his lie which is next to my lay up. I figured he was going to putt out. So I turn to evaluate where exactly our OB line should be around the green and how many flags/stakes we will need to mark it out. And by surprise, with out warning, my putter hits me square in the jaw. The guy was not going to putt out as he only had a 5ft putt, instead he was getting my disc and tossed it to me because he thought I was looking.

These are seperate people too.

I think I will start to retrieve my own putter from now on.

And by surprise, with out warning, my putter hits me square in the jaw. The guy was not going to putt out as he only had a 5ft putt, instead he was getting my disc and tossed it to me because he thought I was looking.

This disc is wedged between two power lines, about thirty feet up in the air.

Here you can see the yellow disc - it looks like it is stuck in the tree, but we know it isn't.

http://static.flickr.com/55/149284239_042d511353.jpg
Here's the view from the tee. The tee pad is elevated, about 20 feet above the ground level where the power poles are planted. The disc is a CFR Wraith, and belongs to Steve Simpson (PDGA # 11920). His drive on the 13th hole (alternate tee pad) during the second round hit the power lines "just right" and stuck. Since the two meter rule was in effect for the Seven Hills Hurlers Open, Steve received a penalty stroke. The TD was nice enough to replace his disc!

Example of too much power getting a player in trouble...

Should have thrown a backhand roller. Rollers don't get caught in trees... :D

I'm convinced that one of these days one of my rollers will get stuck above two meters. They have this remarkable tendency to veer straight toward any convenient tree and roll straight up the trunk 8-12 feet.

I got a 2 meter penalty on a short flick roller that nicked a tiny branch a foot off the ground and shot straight up in the 2001 am worlds. the next day my super gummy old putter fell through the bottom of the basket. i got one of those strokes back on the last round of the tourney with that gummy putter with an extreme hyzer-sidearm up a hill 130 ft. straight and then 90 degrees left for 70 ft. before slamming home.

what's 2 meters?

: ) :

Nice shot...............looks like a Pro Wraith.

Nice shot...............looks like a Pro Wraith.



I second that....Pro for sure.

Nice shot...............looks like a Pro Wraith.



what gave you that idea - was it maybe that the disc says "pro wraith"?

Nice shot...............looks like a Pro Wraith.



Yeah, it is a Pro. I guess I was thinking of the replacement disc that the TD gave to Steven - a 2006 Worlds CFR Wraith.

Dean Tannock at one point during Round 2 of the Masters at Idlewild Saturday:
"I'll go ahead; they aren't distracting me. When you played for years with Lavonne Wolfe throwing sticks and pine cones at you while you're trying to execute a shot or putt, things like that just don't bother you" :eek: :D:D :D:D

I hate it that the funniest thing I've ever seen on a disc golf course is myself. Last year, in the middle of snake season, I was out playing a round of speed golf. I came up this rise and before I knew it, I was right on top of a 4 foot long cottonmouth basking in the spring sun. For those of you who don't know cottonmouths, they're aggressive, especially so in the spring.

That baby came straight at me completely leaving the ground. I leaped straight up in the air and screamed like a little girl. My discs went flying while I was in the air, still screaming, as I quickly began swatting at my backside convinced that I was in imminent danger of a bite.

Now you have to think about this to realize what was going through my mind. Do you remember the old joke about the guy who gets bit on his manhood by a snake? His friend calls the doctor and the doctor tells him to suck out the poison. He immediately turns to his friend and says, sorry, doc says you're going to die. Well, you can imagine what I was thinking.

A friend of mine, who I won't name because I have no surplussage of friends, had a similar experience at Flip City a couple of years ago. Except the snake was clearly a garter snake, and he grew up in farm country so he'd know a garter snake. He dropped is bag and literally ran around in a circle, high stepping with his feet, saying "Snake ! Snake!"

At a No Foolin' years ago there was a big Massasauga sunning itself in the fairway. These are rattlers but you can live through a bite usually. A hill country player up for the weekend snatched it by the neck, pulled a knife out of his bag and lopped off its head. Then he tossed the body in his zipper pocket. Someone said, "What are you going to do with the body? And he said, "Cook it for dinner."

Jim Davidson does that kind of stuff down here. I don't grab nothing unless it's food and it's free!

Jim chases them down and reaches into their holes to pull them out! When we saw a 5' gator in the bayou at Mozola a couple years ago, I thought he wanted to go in and pull it up on the shore.

A few days ago, we were playing some dubs and a bro of mine was my partner. On 17, I miss my long birdie putt, and move aside near anothyer friend. My partner misses his puttas well, and while I'm chatting after the shot, he picks up his disc from his drive and throws it at the ground in apparent disgust from missing the putt.

And drills me right in the side of my knee. WHAP! Oh man that hurt bad.

After a few stunned moments, and #$*&$!, he says, "I have no explanation for what just happened." That kinda threw a wet blanket on the fire. What can you say to that?

Weird. Never had that happen before.

I had a remarkable incident happen to me last night playing Campgaw..it's something that's probably happened to less than a dozen people in the history of mankind..no less during disc golf.

We're walking down hole 10's fairway (wooded), when something smacks me in the back of the head/neck and bounces off my bag. It was substantial in weight, and scratched my neck. I figured Scoontar threw something at me (which is unlike him though..i wouldn't have trusted myself if I were behind me, but Scoontar is harmless..) He was the only one behind me to witness what transpired.

I think to myself...WTF, and turn around to see a squirrel on the ground struggle to regain composure, then slowly limp away..

YES, a friggin' squirrel must have fallen from a tree and landed on my head. Scoontar confirmed it after seeing me duck slightly, and seeing the squirrel bounce off my bag..He put things into perspective saying I probably saved the squirrel's life..

you owe me squirrel...go gnaw down some trees, will ya?

Crazy.

"Scoontar"...that's pretty funny, too!!

I once had a squirrel literally tackle a squibbing football...came right down the tree, made a beeline...and took the ball DOWN going for a coupla 360s with it! (Not on the DG course, but oddly hilarious!)

I took a 9 at BHMO. It was either hole 12 or 13 on the BHM course. About 360', the ideal RHBH line is a high tight "S" shot.
Shot #1-I fail to turn over my flippier TRX, lands waay left in other fairway.
Shot #2-Spike hyzer doesn't clear pine, lands in the pine.
Shot #3, fohand roller goes about 20', in another bush.
Shot #4 fohand putter lands on the edge of the fairway (about 50' out), slides and rolls down a huge ravine/gully.(about 180' out now)
Shot #5 backhand annie putter, hits a tree on top of the hill, rolls down hill and behind previous lie.
Shot #6 fohand driver, hits tree on top, rolls all the way down, behind previous lie.
Shot #7 almost made it to the top, stays on hill.
Shot #8 missed a long jumper.
SHot #9 In!!!

It took sooo long, there were like 4 groups on the tee before I was done. Must've been 20 mins, possibly 1/2 hour.

I was out playing the other day at my local course hakiey creek when on hole 5 i was waiting on this guy to throw in front of me he throws a sidearm drive about 60 feet of line and about 200 feet in the air and he screamed some choice words and kicked his bag and said "F" disc golf . then a few seconds later you hear "ching" and see the disc laying in the basket now he changes his mind turns around and looks at me and was like how about that shot sunny. He some how hit the left side of the tree rooled down a branch and stright in to the basket. you would have had to been thier to see it such a horrible shot turns in to a guys first ace.

now he will be hooked for life and you should have gave him a courtesy warning for cussing :D

My worlds story.

Myself, Justin Jernigan, Chris Heeren and Justin Bunnell are practicing Pendelton King (PK) the day before worlds started.

Hole 11 was a big spike hyzer around these trees. Below the trees were some inmates who were doing work in the park. As we all threw, this one inmate started watching us. After a few shots, he started giving us the safe signal on every shot. It didn't really matter that there was no OB on this hole or anything, he said every shot was safe. I then got the idea to intentionally yank one about 400 feet right of the pin and see what his reaction was.

So, I step up and yank the crap outta it. I put my head down like I couldn't believe what had just happened. The prisoner stands up and looks at me, then looks at the disc, then gives me the safe signal.

It was classic.

heres a story from the 2001 am worlds
myself,my brother Mook"D", and Brian Skinner take off to Nashville Tennessee.On our way we decided to stop at cedar rock my brother and skinny never played there,so we play our round ,get back in the van (this is where it all starts)and it wont start,I get a jump from a local player I cant remember who it was,but it started so we are off but the van is stuttering and puttering down the road just before the interstate we stop at a conveinent store to check out the prob.I dont know how i found it but the bolts on the back side of the alternator was coming lose these are factory and should not happen.I manage to get them tight thinking I fixed the problum.So were driving we make it to Ashville where the winding and mountain roads I guess affect the van again by this time its pretty late we stop at a rest stop and crash.
The next morning I tighten the bolts again no longer than an hour or two it happens again this time it done sucked all the juice from the battery and we had no power at all.
Luckally we made it to an Exxon,I do beleive it crab orchard TN.the attendant let me use his tools to take off the alternator.The alt is new and under warranty fron advance auto.
The closest one is about 30 miles away after 3 or 4 hoursmy brother and finally got a ride from someone who was pumping gas and happend to be going that way .That kind person took us directly to Advance auto where we got our part and caught a cab back another few hours went buy.We get back put the new alternator in and BAM back on the road.
Were cruising about an hour or two from Nashville ,when Im in the far right lane and I turn to get in the left lane but I keep going straight I thinking what the hell was that we make it to a rest area where we check the wheel and everything seems OK,we start going on the exit or entry ramp and my front right tire everything falls off.Stuck again
We go up find a phone book call a wrecker service they come and pick us up.The 3 of us are in the van as it is being towed on the interstate to a shop about another 30 miles or so to Gordonsville,TN
Where the driver ,owner of the shop,is the coach from the WATER BOY,you the one who makes no sence when he is talking,I swear it was him..
About 6 hours later after his helper has a mall and and steel pipe just hammering away on my spindel,some metal fused together on it .Nothing around there at all,the coach just happened to have all the parts that I need to get back on the road it was unbeleivable stuff covered in dust never been moved before or anything it was all there.I thought for sure that I was going to be charged an arm and a leg for this work .After it was all complete he was like ah mem nenah heen 150.00 .150.00 hell yea here you go back on the road againwe finally made it to Nashville 2 days later but we made it
Skinny came in 6th
I came in 19th and my brother came in 21st
what a ride.........

Since we are telling Worlds Stories�.

2003 Kansas City Am Worlds, a friend of mine and I are driving to KC and we met my brother in Joplin for a quick round. After Joplin we get back on the road. I don't have a clue where we stopped, but I am pretty sure it was along the border on the Missouri side. It was a small little out of the way town. We check into this hotel and the lady behind the desk asked what our business was. We told her that we were driving up to KC for the Worlds Am Disc Golf Championship. She asked what disc golf was and we told her and showed her a picture of a basket that was on one of our t-shirts. She tells us that they have something very like that in their local park, but no one knew what it was. We, being the addicted disc golfers that we are, ran over to see it for ourselves. It was a little 9 hole pitch and putt. People kept asking us what we were doing, so we would stop and explain. Apparently, this course had been in for several months, but most of the town people had no idea what it was

I don't have any funny worlds stories (well...) but I did see a pretty brave squirell once. I was playing Willamette with Nate and Colin Sexton when a crazed squirell darts down the fairway and busts out a flying sidekick at Nate. No joke, I am a black belt in karate, and this squirell had impecable form! Nate steps back and the squirell lands and darts off. That squirell was BA. :mad:

Not about disc golf, but you have to see this....

Sorry had to remove... search google video for James the narcoleptic tree cutter

Funny but painful.

When I had been playing for about a year, my buddy and I were playing Boomer Lake in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

After I parked a tough 412 ft. hole, my buddy, who might be a novice at best, steps back five steps off the pad.

He takes a giant run-up, makes a decent throw, and .... falls of the pad.

Apparently, he sprained his right ankle on the plant, sprained his left ankle on the follow-through, and sprained his right wrist when he hit the ground.

It was a 235lb bowling ball!! :D

I saw this thread, and even though it's been dead for months, I feel compelled to tell the epic tale of my FIRST time playin disc golf!

We were out at our local course (Willamette Park), and we're on the 4th hole... It's the most wide open hole on the course, about 340 feet long... Near the far end is a pedestrian walkway that skirts the Willamette River, and there's another larger trail running about 15 degrees left of paralell to the tee box.

So we're getting ready to tee off when these 2 girls come from the upper left corner of the hole, about 300 feet out, and they walk off the path and start ambling onto the fairway! One of my friends who isn't known for his patience, yells "We're trying to throw, get out of the way"... And he is ignored. A little perturbed, he yells again, louder (An certainly loud enough to be heard 300 feet away), "Get out of the way, we're gonna throw!"... And they ignore him again. Looking at these girls, they seemed kind of like 'Society', college aged girls (Concerned about their appearance, etc), and I figured that they didn't think we we're 'cool' enough to respond to (And we're not, but this course has been here for seven years, and has pretty much rescued the park from ruin in that time). At any rate, they keep sacheying across like hot #$*&$!, walking their dog, ignoring our calls...

So my OTHER buddy, whom is VERY patient and just overall a nice guy, says, joking "I'm gonna hit those two girls". We all respond with comments of "Twenty points if you hit em" and the such, fully expecting no contact. So he yells 'FORE', very loudly, and throws... Right arm forehand, I don't know what disc (Again, it was my first time out...), and it sails WELL left. Very high, very much on an anhyzer trail, looking like it will keep going and die on the ground to the left. But something must have kept it up... be it magic, the wind, or disc viagra, it stayed in the air and hung... And started to come back. Lazily (Not dive bombing), it floats back from the left to the right... In the vicinity of the 2 girls and dog... Floats some more, picking up speed (And Im goin 'No fkin way, no fkin way...')...

...and SPLAT!!!!! Hits ONE girl, bounces off and hits the OTHER, AND (no #$*&$!), hits the fkin dog. It all happened so fast, but you could see it hit shoulder high, and from how they recoiled, it was obvious nobody got hurt... and we all start LAUGHING so hard... I swear, I was literally doubled over, gasping for breath... He had CALLED it, and nailed BOTH girls AND the dog... I mean, come on!

So they're all #$*&$!, and yell "How bout a fkin APOLOGY!!", pickin up the disc, lookin like they have no idea what it is, and disgustedly throwin it back on the ground. My friend who threw (who is really an even-tempered guy), says "I'm SO sorry", but hes chuckling even as he says it, and we're all laughin our asses off...

That day will be forever etched in my memory as the FUNNIEST thing I've ever seen playing disc golf, possibly in the top 10 funniest things ever to happen (Factoring the multiple warnings, him callin it, and how long the disc hung in the air). It was beyond classic... It was legendary.

And thats my story :-)

-Brandon G.

I was on vacation with my girlfriend in Kentucky and we were introducing disc golf to her sister and niece. We were at a short course in a public park. One of the tees backed up to a basketball court and a few guys were shooting hoops. It was my girlfriend�s sister�s time to drive. She did a death grip, mega late release, and through the disc behind her. It flew across the basketball court hit the back board and went through the hoop, Two Points! It scared the ell out of the guys shooting hoops and we were laughing our azzes off! :DI have seen close to a black ace before but never a two point basket! :cool:

Then you missed Crazy John Brooks on TV when he sank a 2-pointer (maybe 3-pointer) on demand with a Frisbee. That doesn't diminish how funny your accidental shot was! :D

Funny is a realtive term.....
One sunday @ z-boaz my card was about to tee off on hole 14, when we noticed a truck load of minors drinking and littering on the course. We take littering very seriously .
My buddy Nick D . decides that he is going to go have a little talk with these " children " . After a little chit-chat Nick suddenly realizes that it is time to retrieve the Louisville Slugger out of his back seat. It was like the friggin Outsiders, as a brawl was sure to ensue. We almost reveled in the thought of a good old fashioned beat down, had it not been fact that these delinquents were underage ( assualt on a minor in Texas is a big no-no ) . My one buddy on the card that @ the time possesed a level head, slowly pulled out his camera phone and took a picture of the license plate on the truck. It did not take long before the children saw what he was doing. After a couple of silent moments the truck load of minors proceded to picking up their numerous beer bottles and empty boxes, calling the lot of us "SIR" and rapidly left the park. We laughed our arses of , for the simple fact that these teenagers we not frightened of physical harm, but feared their parents would find out they were @ the park drinking. Priceless!

MtL falling down, and fallling down, and falling down.

Thanks to my new Bite Shoes, the falling has decreased.

I can only think of one fall to date with Bites!

Hahaha, MtL fall down go boom!

: ) :

Should have thrown a backhand roller. Rollers don't get caught in trees... :D

I call bullchips, I threw a roller at Bowling Green during the final round a Keriakes on hole 18, and it rolled up the base of a tree and it got caught in it 8 feet up OB.

Rollers are rogue. They have a mind of their own. What disc was it Schweb?

At a C-tier in Indiana, we were playing a temp hole which was a 350' anhyzer that went around a fenced in baseball field. It was very windy (25mph sustained), so one guy in my group tried to play safe and just throw a roller. The roller headed for the scoreboard, which was enclosed by a 4' fence and situated behind the outfield fence. The disc climbed the scoreboard fence about 15' in the air and then got pushed by the wind right into the baseball field, which was OB.

At least he recovered and went on to win the tourney, but probably the craziest roller I have ever seen.

I once griplocked my drive on hole10 in Kinston ,NC, It went about 70' to the right and made a direct hit on this guy's truck that was parked there, It did'nt break the window but it scarred his window tinting pretty bad. Everyone in my group got a pretty good laugh out of it including myself.

Watching 5 grown men sliding down the muddy face of a hill that had to be @ least 45 degrees from level to end the last round of the MJCO was good stuff. They all gave up on trying to walk the hill, some on their arse, some on their bellies! Twas good times. Anybody that has played Greenbelt knows what I am talking about

It was a kc Eagle

I had just recieved a brand new 10X KC Pro Whippet X in the mail.
Mind you I had gone through alot of trouble and traded to get this one.
I went out for a round the next afternoon.
On the first hole I played I throw it for an upshot from about 150 Ft.
It is a righthanded sidearm the skips about 15-20 ft.left of the basket.
It looks perfect.

It skips and starts to roll...
I think this is great it will be even closer...

WRONG :p

Well there is about a 20-30 mph wind coming from the left.
Once it starts to roll the wind now has it.
This now concerns me greatly since the BRAND NEW CLASSIC disc is heading for water...

Well SURELY it won't make it since it's 50 ft away or so....

Wobble roll wobble flip roll etc. etc. etc. ... .. . splash.

The first words out of my mouth:
I am not leaving this park without that disc !!!!!
Since the water is deep and you can't see the disc
I decide to come back after the round.

After an hour or so wading in the dirty cold creek water up to my waist
I retrieve it.
Also I retrive about 3 others in the process. :D

Funny if you are watching. :D
Not so if you are participating. ;)

At least I got it back.
D.P. :D

It was a kc Eagle


Maybe it had a nest in the tree.
Love me some kc eagles. How do the star ones fly Schweb?

One of my friends threw a 20-25 ft. putt, and the putter landed on the rim of the basket and just balanced itself. I dont mean on top of the basket, but the actual basket rim itself.

Another funny shot is one I putted. I threw a Soft Magent at a hole, and it warped its way through the openings in the basket to save par.

Another one is that of another friend. He threw a skip shot which turned into a roller and rolled about 50 ft. to park under the basket. More cool than funny, though.

Me trying to make a putt from anywhere inside the circle!!!

I've always thought that was funny to watch. :D;)
