Bear with me, this may just be a rhetorical and therapeutic rant...
I have significantly improved my ability to find discs in the woods. Replay the shot immediately in my head, which tree was it in front of, which shadow did it cross by, etc...
BUT! I have now lost two discs in wide open, grassy knolls. I see the disc disappear, note some far distant object, and walk straight line. Of course I've found way more than I've lost, but it is mind-numbingly maddening to have a pretty good idea where your disc landed, then spend an hour combing back and forth. Then becoming disillusioned and looking waaaaay further and waaaay closer than where it should be.
Today I threw into the wind. Thought the driver was going to turn way more than it did, but instead faded way left off the fairway. I was watching very closely, noted the distant cluster of trees and thought to myself, 'toward those trees, not quite to where the grass gets taller and lighter color'. It wasn't there. It wasn't within 150' of that location, and I spent an hour crossing back and forth...
So, you experienced players, are there any tricks I can employ besides landing in the mowed fairway?
