Running over discs

[Central Scrutinizer]

I was practicing on a high school football field in about 1999 or so, had a Discraft Xtreme wind up on the nearby pavement. A dickhead ran over it on purpose, but guess what? It was a Discraft Xtreme, and it continued to be ridiculously overstable.

:clap:

You know I still have one of those and I still throw it regularly. Sometimes you just need something stupid overstable.

The only time I've ever had someone run over a disc was other disc golfers. :wall:

Nice to see a Groove is good for something. Of course, if you had thrown a disc other than a Groove, you probably wouldn't be in the street.

Get it together Joe, no one throws grooves.

Did it help?

Drivers can be idiots.
Once, my buddy's drive sailed into the street and was immediately creamed by a big rig. My friend was very upset until he used disc again and found it to fly better than it ever had!! Its still one of his best drivers, but was only mediocre before collision. Does yours fly better now?

Runned over!

Kinda like the guy in this SUV who even goes out of his lane to try & run the disc over!:

Winner! Well, that and any jokes involving the groove. Groove should honestly be a cuss word at this point. I grooving hate the groove.

Op- I have had a couple run over at z-boaz. They ended up ok but I have never had someone try to run them over. Groovehole move for sure.

Thats funny! Thats one of the courses where i had a disc ran over. Super windy day on hole 3 or 4 i believe. Threw an escape and the headwind took it between lane one and two on the right. My disc thankfully 'escaped' without any noticeable damage. Next round tho, i threw a firebird and stayed clear of the road

Whenever I see a car swerve to hit a disc, I think of this:

One of these days I will figure out how to embed.....

I couldn't help but laugh when this happened to a friend of mine. He was walking towards the disc, but a car was approaching faster. The car slowed, looked like it was going to stop, then just drove slowly over the disc as my friend stood there and watched in dismay. I think the disc was ok tho.

Take just the part after the = in the youtube url "fXD6xZVnClk" and wrap it in youtube tags

A friend of mine had a disc get run over and disappear. On the way home from the course he noticed something on the side of the road several miles down the way, the thought "hmm, just maybe..." pulled over and sure enough, his disc had apparently gotten stuck in the wheel well, had a nice rubber mark burned into the flight plate. I believe it's still in his bag to this day as one of his best flyers.

Jerry Lewis, what a groovehole that guy is.

 

[Romans 5-8]

First day I got my gstar teebirds, I threw into the street right after my buddy did the same thing, the car swerved to miss his and ran mine over....no problem. G* is a beast, bounced back to normal shape like nothing happened. It was a big explorer that ran it over too.

Okay, this is a repeat, I just had to try to embed the video, thanks for the quick lesson Martin, that was easy. By the way, I love Jerry Lewis.....like.....a LOT.

I had a big truck roll over my white Valkarie a while back. It put a really cool tire print on the disc that is still there. It looks cool, and didn't effect the flight.
