Last summer, I played at Highbridge Hills for the first time but the day I decided to go it ended up raining the entire day.
Regardless, I wasn't gonna let that deter me from having fun so I played the Woodland Greens course first then went and tackled The Bear.
Absolute horrible conditions to play what some say is the hardest course on the property but alas, I was having a good round up until hole 13. I threw my beat-in PFN Star Roadrunner on a nice hyzer flip and watched it fade to the left around the bend about 200 feet up the fairway. Like, literally watched my disc fade to the left side into the woods but when I walked up the fairway to look for it in the woods, it was nowhere to be found and I really spent a good 25-30 minutes looking cuz I love that disc.
Needless to say, I had to give up out of frustration and finished off my round. I messaged Mountain Man (Tom) later that day to let him know I lost a disc on hole 13 and he told me he'd look for it the following day. Well, MM is a man of his word and sure enough a few days later he texts me to let me know his dog found it while they were doing some maintenance work on The Bear. He told me that it ended up on the RIGHT side of the fairway somehow even though I actually did quickly check the right side as discs are known to sometimes cut roll in the opposite direction you saw it land in but didn't see it anywhere which is weird because the right side of the fairway on 13 has very minimal rough / things that would hide your disc.
There's been a handful of other occasions where I lost a disc on a certain course, then I get a text from someone saying they found it on a completely different course (I lost a green Champ Teebird at Rockford University and this dude told me he found it at another course nearby). Although, recently, I accidentally left my Champion Super Stingray on the ground right by basket #9 at my favorite local 9er and haven't gotten any texts so far which is kind of disappointing. Oh well.
