Am I the only one...?

[Moify]

...who will throw a disc, absolutely hawk eye the **** where it lands, then still end up losing the disc?

Can you tell I'm frustrated about this? Does anyone have any tricks for watching where there discs land?

 

[dreadlock86]

where a disc lands and where it comes to rest are usually different.

if i only saw where the disc landed, i try to make a few educated guesses about where it likely continued. does that disc skip to the left or forward? could it have hit something that changed its direction?

also, when in doubt look up. you never know.

 

[plastic cannon]

I just keep an eye on it's line more then where it lands. Alot of the time the disc will skip, roll, etc. I guess I imagine myself as the pilot of the disc and try to follow it's line in my head. Works for me as crazy as it sounds lol.

 

[Okie-J]

I looked for one disc for over 2 hours once.......never found it.

 

[SmoothSailor]

I looked for one disc for over 2 hours once less than 30 feet off the tee.......never found it.

I did this...

 

[Jukeshoe]

If I keep my eye on it, and it's on a course I'm familiar with, 99.8% of the time I have no problem finding it.

I tend to lose discs on courses I'm unfamiliar with.

I agree with Dreadlock, look up if you can't find it after a bit. The bases of bushes can obscure a disc pretty well, too.

Get a dog that keeps an eye on it for you. Only is a problem if say it's a tourney and I don't bring Forest along and I forget to watch my own disc...

 

[Emoney]

I usually just look around the basket for my discs.....there usually near by. Lol

 

[rshrevo]

Our foursome had a disc this morning land next to the basket on the drive then skip. we looked for about 15 to 20 minutes. we finally found the disc. we must have walked over it in the leaves about 8 or 10 times as the four of us were looking for it. we all saw it skip but still couldn't seem to locate it until we went side by side over the site.

 

[ReinZ_96]

Well I've done this in an open field TWICE, at least they were both discs I didn't really care for

 

[Clempson13]

on courses im not familiar with this is easy for me to do. if i know the layout then i pretty much know where it is without having to watch to closely.

Discs are playful little things. They like to hide from their owners.

I remember an impish Archangel that I watched hit the tree then hit the ground next to the tree. I found it about fifty feet from the tree, in the woods, leaning up against a log, having a smoke.

But yeah OP, it happens to me. Drives me up a wall!

I live by what I call the 15' rule. Wherever I see the disc land, I check to see if it went farther or shorter than I thought.

For some reason, when you said hawk eye the disc I pictured you sarcastically joking about the disc while holding a martini glass. :|

Lol. Now this is an entertaining forum. I like this 15' idea. I actually lost a great Orion LF this most recent time. Off to the side of the course is a long row of steep, rolling hills covered in thick brush and crap. I watched it fall between two of the hills... me and my friend looked for almost 2 hours and found nothing.

As for the martini, I think I was drinking a Sweetwater 420 at the time or something like that

 

[Dsplayname]

yeah, I've spent 45+ minutes looking in a shortly mowed open field of grass for a bright red disc.

 

[little oz]

I throw alot of red and orange discs, and they always seem about 30' shorter than i thought they went

 

[EeBeKay]

Try to hit more fairways?

 

[ForTheGlory]

Wow! I'm glad I'm not the only one. But it is kinda like Christmas when you finally find it.

I just played on Friday with a buddy that had only played twice. While he was trying to make a mando ended up getting a roller that we lost track of. Looked for 15min and gave up. Must have rolled about 250' and luckily found it walking to the next hole.
