Since I am new Rolla and this club, I am going to try to say as nice as I can. It doesn't matter how deep in the silt, deep in the brush, high up in a tree or just laying on the ground a disc is, if it has a name number or even a PDGA number on it get ahold of them. I know a PDGA # its a little harder but you can at least find out who it is. At my old home course we had two ponds. I ended up throwing an ACE disc and one of my favorite discs in the pond. I stripped down and got in the freezing cold water and couldn't find it. I stayed in there for at least 20 min my whole body was numb. I never got it back since people go in there all the time. I had my name number and 4 other signatures on it.That being said, people do not just throw a disc and leave it there without looking for it for a good amount of time. The other issue is the throwing of big bombs over trees. Well too me that sounds like you don't want to get a better score by taking a risk (with knowing that with my name and number on it someone will return it if I lose it). I throw over the top on 2, 8, and 14 for the soul purpose of trying to birdie the hole.
I hope that in the future if you or anyone else finds a disc with contact info on it it will be used to get the disc back to its owner.
