Things noobs say...

[RomServo]

So, I played a round with a real nice guy the other day and he was only throwing FH. His drives kept flexing out because he was only throwing OS discs. He made a comment about wishing his drives would go straighter longer and stop flexing out. I said somehing like, "you otta throw something less oberstable". to which he responded, "i like to throw overstable discs because theyre heavier." ??? The Sh!t? ??? Really? I had no idea what to say. I was just like, "oh yeah... well that mkes sense." Amazing. :doh:

lol
I'm guilty of that one. Depending on the friend I'm playing with, it's either sincere or a dig.

This is one of my favorite digs

So I'm playing a morning round early throwing three at a time for practice. Got two down there within 15' of basket and I see someone walking a dog through the fairway clueless, so I stop throwing and wait. They stop and pick up my disc so I yell "hey" ... they respond with "did you lose this?" I was so dumbfounded I couldn't think up a snappy answer.

On #12 at Madeline Bertrand recently I heard the following from the group ahead on the #13 tee after I tossed my Crystal Challenger up by the basket:

"DUDE DID YOU SEE THAT? HE DROVE THIS WITH A PUTTER. WOW."

The hole is just under 180'. :|

I got a fun one like that the other day; two newbs let me play through after the better of the two had thrown. And I parked a 300 ft hole with my Bard.

The less good dude says, "wow your a lot better than us." First guy says,"hey man, I threw mine almost that far!"

Second guy,"yeah, but you threw a Nuke"

Heh... It is so confusing really... And hard to accept that so called slower discs can be hucked far

 

[Noill]

The basics of this sport mimic ball golf but stop short in a lot of ways... A ball golfer wouldn't drive with a putter but we would... DG nomenclature is inaccurate leading to new players vast confusion and the better sales of big drivers than deserved

Dog walker ≠ n00b.

n00bs actually play disc golf.

Dog walkers/pedestrians/random park goer... may not even know the game exists, let alone what those funny looking barbecue grills are for. Hence, their ignorance is far more tolerable.

I just count those folks as part of the obstacles... If they move the disc it plays where it lands... Even if it's back in my hands after being handed it...

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

Obstacles aren't noobs, got i. It was more of a "Here's your sign" moment. I was tempted to try and hit them or scare em with my last disc...

I was playing a round, and walked up to the tee on whatever hole it was. Three guys said I could play through, as I was by myself. I set my bag down and heard "you have quite a set up there. Do you actually use all those?" They all laughed. Proceeded to say "I bet your one of those guys that has like 5-10 more at home too!!!""" They all laughed again. Wasn't sure if I should be proud or ashamed.... that number is way closer to 200 lol.

Haha proud.
I bet they throw FH and only need one speed 13 driver for all those different 150' lines... -_-

 

[Noill]

Be proud... At least one of those guys will have a bag full of discs in less than five years and will regret the joking at your expense

 

[ThrowBot]

You definitely need more molds if you're going to throw forehand.

All the more noobish when that's the truth

Not what a noob said but what he was doing. Met a guy who was playing his second round ever at Pier Park. He had a putter (good so far) and a Star Max (not so good). I ended up giving him my DX Stingray and told him to use that as his main driver for a while. He instantly started feeling better about the sport.

I remember a nice old couple telling me they thought the baskets were possibly deer feeders. This was in 1999, though.

So, what you're saying is "it's something noobs say, or you're from Wisconsin"

Can confirm the latter, from Wisconsin.
