Funniest/weirdest thing you've seen on the course

[Midnightbiker]

On Sunday, I was playing River Grove Park (Kingwood) and hole 18 is a blind, sweeping anny hole.

I told the group I would spot for them, so I walked up to the bend in the fairway and watched the tee. My friend threw sidearm, and his throw turned and then headed straight for me.

I had my hand in my pocket, and I couldn't get my hand out of my pocket so I could duck, so I just kicked my feet out from under myself, and landed flat on my back, just as the disc sailed over me. I felt like a dumb ass, and everyone got a great laugh out of watching me bust my ass so I wouldn't get hit in the face by a driver.

i was playing at 7:30 AM, a half hour after the park was open, and there was a crazy amount of dew on the course. i go to cross a bridge that's like 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, very small, and bust my ace on the bridge, bend sideways cause i landed on the edge of the bridge, and ended up toppling over. kinda did a sideways summersault, and spilled my bag in the process...:wall:

One of our local courses is close to an "airport" for radio-controlled planes. Full runway, building for making repairs, etc. At least half the times we play there people are flying their planes, often doing some really complex manuevers. A tract of farmland separates the course from the airport, so they don't fly over the course.

My son and I had just teed off on a hole, and as we started walking up the fairway I look up in time to see one of these planes in the midst of doing a loop and heading in our direction. I jumped out of the way, the left wing missed my son's head by about a foot (he didn't see it coming) and crash-landed right next to us. The cockpit cover came off on impact and inside was a Winnie the Pooh figurine in the pilot's seat.

Needless to say, we were pretty freaked out. Those things are huge and it would have messed me up if I hadn't seen it.

I love it. That is a great story. My wife , being a Winnie The Pooh collector also enjoyed it.

Offhand I'd say it's more a case of how much would cause you to fall asleep on a fairway ...

Plus she wandered miles from the casino and just happened to pass out at a disc golf course. She must be a whale if they let her drag the dog around with her.Could be a college initiation. You have to drink a drink from 20 dif bars and drag this dog around with you.

Noobs in Yellowstone insisting that the Boss/Katana/Wraith/Xcal is the beginner "way to go."



Ok, not funny or weird, just aggravating.

Yeah, I felt bad for a buddy of mine who must not have gotten much guidance from another friend who I think got him into the sport. One of his first drivers was the groove, he has had a good toss or two out of that strait, and decent distance, but I still would have suggested against it.

I went to meet a buddy of mine at a course but he was running late as normal. I ran into a kid who showed me another course when I was a first timer and he asked if I would play with him and his friend. His friend brought a unicycle and was riding that between holes. He was also only throwing rolling discs.

^That would pretty much make my day to dg with someone unicycling between holes.

I only played about 3 holes with them but it was pretty funny. Some drunks walked by and made fun of them and then told him he over stepped his putt.

one of our local dger's is an avid unicyclist he signs up for mountain bike races and competes on his unicycle. And places! He also unicycled across panama. http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Big-wheel-keeps-on-turning-577634.php

I was playing a casual round with two other guys. I threw an errant drive that landed about 30 feet left of my intended line. Unfortunately, it landed under a picnic table where a homeless gentleman was napping. We yelled FORE and he didn't move at all. As we approached my disc, my buddies reminded me that I must play it where it lies. We always play for a few bucks so they are sticklers on rules where a stroke for an unplayable lie might benefit them. To get my foot near my disc, I had to straddle the bench (seat) portion of the table. Unfortunately, the sleeping man was zonked out on the same seat I needed to straddle. I just sucked it up and stepped over him. My buddies couldn't stop laughing as it appeared the homeless man was being given "the flying squirrel." :gross: I then tossed my upshot, grabbed the disc from the ground, and run up to the pin to happily make 3.

That's pretty crazy to compete in mtn bike races with a unicycle...all this talk of unicycles is reminding me of uniracers for the snes, great game.

Uniracers ruled.

I was playing @ Harlow platts in Boulder, CO a few months ago. We were right in front a couple guys that were moving the baskets as they went. Everyone was giving them time and space to do it untill...
He told these two kids (M and F) what he was doing, and to wait a sec befoer they threw. Of course she didn't listen, and threw a nice up shot right at the basket that almost hit the guy. i was close enough to hear him say 'stupid b*tch, mumble mumble". then looked right at her and moved the basket to the farthest spot away so she ended up with a 20-30 putt rather than a drop in. SHe she stood there and looked like she couldn't belive he would do that to her.

I don't remember if I posted this or not, but one day as we were leaving my home course, this huge group showed up to play. At least 20 or them. The thing I thought was strange was that two of them were riding "Cushiman Scooters". They would throw, and then ride to their hole. It was strange to see. Of course there was tons of alcohol with them.

That reminds me, one day I got on my computer, noticed my friends were set to away, except one of them(at least local friends). I asked him if he wanted to go disc golfing, he said alright. We head out and play the first two holes, at the top of 3(hiestand park it's a bomb hill hole) I see a huge group of people and think why don't they let others shoot. I see 1 wearing a Dark side of the moon shirt that I recognized, then realized 2 other friends down there. I skipped the hole to meet up with their group. I guess that group happened through people calling others and those calling more to go discing. I ended up on the tits team and my friend was on the ass team. Not much of a funny story, but oh well.
