Found an inked Star Wraith today. Texted the number, met the guy at the local grocery store, he got his disc back and I got a can of Rainier. Not hard to be a nice person.

stop losing your discs, dammit! like my huskers lost to colorado today! be responsible and mind your $hit, by golly!
2) Don't make it difficult by putting just your pdga # on it. Yes, I know you can still be found. But for someone who's not on any popular social media platforms, it's very very difficult for me to track you down. I want to help you out, but help me help you.
I'm not calling you out or anything, I'm just trying to get some info out. Finding someone by pdga# on discgolfscene.com is very easy. You just type the number into a search bar. Than you can leave them a message.
You can also comment on the course page that you found a disc and if someone can identify it than you know it's theirs.
This is effective in my area, but I am led to believe that not all regions use this website. It's worth a try though.

"fancy looking sports frisbee"
I totally agree with everything you said and I now want to refer to all discs as that.
Hello world, I'm a fancy looking sports frisbee golfer!
Edit: Actually that sounds weird, nevermind.
Also, fun story to share, related to topic at hand. I know it's a 1 in a billion story, but it's a true one. The only disc I've lost so far was returned to me by a non disc golfer. He was walking his dog on a hiking trail about 100' off the fairway where I absolutely shanked my drive. He was a good dude and shot me a text saying he (or rather his lab) found my "fancy looking sports frisbee". I met up with him at the course the following weekend during my regular weekly round there and got it back. If it's a disc I really wanted back, do you think he'd have known what to do with #45790 written on the bottom? Just saying. Know it's a looooonnnnggggg shot this ever happens, but I personally know it does.
Perhaps we shouldn't be assumptive that because you find a disc with a PDGA number but no other contact information, that the person who lost it wants the finder to make an effort to return it, but wants to make a puzzle out of it. Maybe they just needed a means to mark their discs for tournaments since the PGDA requires it, and that's an easy way to deal with that matter. Maybe they don't care if that disc comes back or not. Maybe they just don't want strange people calling or texting them for a matter that isn't worth the time.
Can we stop with these threads? No one ever agrees and it gets hostile in like 5 posts.
1. Cross out any name/phone number info with magic marker.
2. Write your own name and number on the disc.
3. Place disc in bag.
