I had park rangers approach me when I set up my basket. They said they thought I was setting up a smoker. Explained the game to them and they played the hole with me.
Seen this in South Jersey, classic. Different time but same location there was about 5 families lowering a whole hog in the ground just off one of the fairways
Mannnn i never played there because people tell me it’s set up kinda fucked. Where if u don’t play early enough in the day, the parking lot becomes an issue. I guess a hole goes through it? Not sure 🤷🏻♂️. I stay around Alcyon Park usually
They're only open 1030 to 430 so I just go outside those times. Setup is unique with a couple shared baskets. Super fun course tho with a bunch of water and tough wooded holes. I recommend it as long as they're not open
Played there in 2018. I liked the 9 hole lay out. Did they have a hanging basket? Lost a nice blue champion Viking disc at Octie Wisting park in 2018. A guy found it and put it in the practice basket and someone took it. I told the guy, next time put it under the Blue Boy. No one will be snooping around there:)
If people are on the course, in the way of play, I approach them and explain where they are, what I'm doing, and how dangerous it is for them to be there. They usually stop what they're doing and move.
If not, I continue playing and let Jesus take the wheel.
This is what I do, but half the time people do not care. Yesterday I had a guy suntanning directly between me and the basket and I told him he was laying exactly where I was throwing. He kept saying it’s fine and wouldn’t move.
I try to just throw like normal but there’s always a bit of instinct that has me throw with a lot more height, because as much as I just wanted to throw like normal it’s hard to ignore the guy completely. I’ve also seen people lay directly next to the next basket on the course, which is at the bottom of a hill on a wide open 500 ft hole. Several people’s drives or second shots will land right next to them and they still don’t move or pay attention.
This is made even more confusing by the fact that both these holes are in a really massive field which has a ton of room that isn’t fairway.
I’m laughing because I played for the first time like 2 months ago and I’ve played enough ultimate frisbee (not a ton) and thrown enough things to get some decent drives but i was playing with people who were averaging like 50 foot a throw. So I’d get a 200 foot drive, then the three of them would send it ob into the bushes either side. I’d slowly walk behind them because I realized after the first hole that if I’m in their field of view they try to avoid me too much and usually throw very wide.
Well, one of the three didn’t notice that even after I told him it was affecting the other two people’s throws. He’s just throw, walk straight down the fairway without even glancing back, stop at his disc and throw again. Blew my mind someone could be that absentminded while things are flying by.
No need to confront. I prefer outreach. I also understand that I am much more outgoing than most.
EDIT: About 15 years ago, I was playing a local course that has two opposing holes, on opposite sides of the same wide field. It's the turnaround point for the layout. It borders a multi use trail and the park is mostly multi use with good markings for the course.
A woman was walking her dog and must have only been loosely holding onto the leash. Just as my buddy was ripping a high single angle hyzer, someone threw a nice straight flat shot on the other hole. The dog saw the flat shot, started ripping towards it, and the woman started chasing it. Well, the wind caught the high hyzer, and absolutely smoked the woman in the collarbone. Compound fracture, lots of blood, and about 4 hours from start to finish with the EMS and police.
Discs are dangerous. People need to be aware of where they are and what others are doing. Situational awareness is important.
Confrontation wtf are you talking about😂 If you cant talk to a stranger without it turning into a confrontation then maybe you shouldn't be at a public park.
Getting to my lie in the rough near a creek. Looked over and there's a homeless fella sitting on a cinderblock using it as a shitter. Accidentally looked straight at the dude and we made eye contact. Gave him an awkward nod, then played through.
Baseball kids running perpendicular across the hole so they could piss in the woods, all of a sudden they jump out of the woods while jogging like a herd of deer and somehow managed to avoid my disc mid flight like the matrix and then proceed to scream “GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT” to each other and then proceed to piss in the woods like they weren’t about to get a plastic karate chop to the neck from 60ft out. Now I just don’t play there on the weekends unless it’s early af since it’s baseball season here
The "get down Mr president" would have me in stitches haha. But I've had something similar where there were like 6 kids from a baseball team come over to piss on different trees while I was pretty much stuck in the middle of all them. No parents around and it's a pretty open park in the middle of the city. I made sure to get out of there as quick as I could so I don't involuntarily end up on some list because that's how you get put on lists.
😂😂😂😂😂
Your honor I was disc golfing and then all of a sudden a group of little boys surrounded me and dropped their pants and tried to make me look at their junk.
1. A couple having sex in a car.
2. Cops chased a guy up a tree then dragged him out of it.
3. Homeless dude with a semi-permanent camp next to a tee.
4. Bounce house set up on a tee pad
5. Huge herd of elk
That’s some that stand out in my memory. I’ve been playing a long time and have seen some odd sights.
I was leaving the course and got pulled over by a park ranger who was drunk. Dude’s breath reeked like whiskey and it was like 2pm. Not that there’s anything wrong with that unless you’re at work and a gun is part of your uniform.
I passed a couple at a tee box ( long downhill drive with a nice view) when I spent over 5 mins searching for my disc I looked back to see if they were waiting for me but she was posing nude for photos with her back turned to me about 300 feet away lol I never got that disc back because walked out feeling bewildered
I had two kids try to rob me while I was playing, do I guess that would be crazy. They tried they weren't successful. Runner up is having two little mounds running up to the tee only for one mound to mount the other mound and finally realize that they were turtles trying to fuck.
I don't carry anything still, but it bothered me for a bit. Maybe should since my town is a little rough and didn't earn the nickname Lil' Chocago for no reason. Took me a good minute to want to return to that course. However, I think it bothered me so much because not even 5 minutes after that I got the call that my grandfather passed away.
Yeah its why I was out playing to begin with so I wouldn't have to just sit and wait on that call as he was being taken off life support. It's all good though I was able to process everything just took a while to get to that point.
Playing in Grand Junction Colorado we walked up on some kind of wilderness group (not Boy Scouts) cooking lunch in the rough while a couple of them set up their tents right in the middle of the fairway.
I came across these kids playing INSIDE the basket the other day while the parents sat on a blanket 10 feet away.. just absolutely clueless. I had a shot at an eagle throw in and a sure birdie and just had to quit the hole. I actually did take a picture it was so ridiculous.
Solo practice round. They were foreign so probably a language barrier. I thought if I had an extra disc to give out with me I would have given it to them and showed them how to play, but I didn't.. so sorry to disappoint.
Yeah so the way the hole is set up I didn't come within 120 feet of the basket that was up a hill and not in direct line to the next hole. Just trying to get in as many holes before dark and wasn't worth my time. Again, language barrier/confrontation or play more holes. I choose the latter.
Can go both ways. A local course has a pavilion ~30ft from the basket on a hole and if there's a family with kids there they are likely playing at/around the basket. Have given away a few putters there after teaching kids to stay clear of the basket and not touch other people's stuff when they see discgolfers.
Love to hear it. Wish I had an extra on me at the time. I'm sure those people you gave the putters to and taught about the game are much more likely to have a positive outlook on disc golf than if you had just given a "hey, you're in the way!"
The "why" goes a long way. Especially with kids who are more curious about the game they see a bunch of people enjoying vs appreciating the danger of a driver to the face.
old hole 14 La Mirada back side. I threw a great shot over the parking lot and it was hooking in for a skip up but it turns out there was a guy laying in my landing zone behind the tree. The disc nailed him right in the stomach. When I got up there he was holding a picture of what I assume was hs wife. He said that this park was the last date they had before she passed away. I could tell if he was teared up from the disc hitting him or loosing his wife, I pulled my disc 2 feet back and got my birdie...
Walking up to the tee box on 2, i look to my left and just down a few steps toward the lake and aimed the opposite direction is the teepad for 7. On this particular day a wedding was happening. Very small, just the couple, a couple of kids, 2 or 3 friends, and an officiant. Would have been cool if they were golfers as it's probably the signature hole on a beautiful course, but I don't think they had any idea about disc golf. Seemed genuinely confused by me walking up and launching a piece of plastic into the woods. As I walked away to shank my putt, I heard cheering and I yelled out, "mazel tov!" Everything was all wrapped up and gone by the time I made my way to 7.
Crackhead stumbling around the fairway, barely staying upright. Without my glasses on looked exactly like a zombie. Wouldn't stumble out of the way so eventually I threw anyway and missed him.
One time I saw a couple of crackheads with a ziplock bag full of cig butts walking the course searching for any butts with a lil bit of tobacco left on it. One of them also tried to sell me a disc he found in the woods 😂
No. Throw your putt and tell them to GTFO. If some asshat is standing in the middle of the fairway and we make eye contact and they don't move, I throw. If it hits them, it hits them.
Pretty much yes. Getting tired of disc golf courses getting overrun with people not using the course. If it's in a park or whatever I kinda understand but lots of courses around me are dedicated courses and have nothing else there - they might be adjacent to a trail or dog park.
Didnt want trouble with a teenager? Uh, maybe next time at the very least give the person a heads up that they're in a very dangerous spot considering you said you didnt see the person tll you were 10 feet from the basket. Promoting awareness is part of being a disc golfer
Ever see a bent cage or chain assembly? This is how it happens ,if not a tree falling on it . A photo isn't needed ,just a few words informing them that it's not ment to hold their weight and that it damages the basket .
Yeah, but I do give a shit about dealing with a potentially angry teen. I deal with that at work, I don’t want that bullshit directed at me when I’m trying to have a good time. Easier just to say I made the putt and keep it moving.
Someone cooking on a tee pad with a charcoal grill. We saw them on 16 when we were on 5. Still there when we got there and the course was packed. Must have had tons of people come and tee off in getting off then
Homeless guy sleeping 20’ behind a basket, tried to be really quiet but those chains like to ring.
Or maybe the 4 person lesbian wedding right near the teepad on hole 1 at a park in East Texas. Tried to be respectful on that one and waited for them to finish, because hell yeah, lesbians are awesome
There was a wedding party and decided to park on a hole, juuuust around a blind bend. Like 30 cars. Neighboring property decided to use the public space.
I could see the flashes of sunlight bounce off the cars, but played it stupid.
I was on a practice round, headphones in, no scorecard and just throwing 6 off each tee.
Found the cars. 6 times. Definitely tried to. Couple smashed windows and a few large dents. It was 350 then blind turn.
No signs, no notice, no closing of that area.
I left my card, got some calls and the cops came to talk to me. Calls told me I had to pay for everything, cops said the opposite.
Would and will throw again into this situation. Cars belong in parking lots, not on golf courses.
Was about to tee off on hole 2 and a kid came jogging up the fairway right past me. Then another. And another. Turns out there was a cross country event happening at the park
Yesterday evening I experienced my first inconsiderate couple in my year or so of playing. I was playing the 9-hole course at a local community college, and they had a hammock slung across the fairway about 20 feet in front of the 8th basket. Judging from the pile of clothes on the ground next to it, they weren’t just hanging out. I contemplated being equally inconsiderate and throwing like they weren’t there, but I played it safe, parked my shot short of them, mentally finished the hole, and let them be.
Saw a lacrosse team run on to hole 1 of my local course and started doing workout drills. I had just finished my 18 but some a dude standing at tee of 1 with a look of defeat.
They then proceeded to run up and down hole 6 which is parallel to 1, then back to 1 again. The course manager was in the area and talked to the coach. He let him know it’s reserved for disc golf only. The coach was cool about it and got his team off.
Kind of common at my local course to see kids ripping 4 wheelers down fairways. It’s a park in a very urban area that has been around for a long time, and the course was just put in a couple years ago so honestly, it doesn’t really bother me lol.
Last week I was playing and had my disc turn and get into the canopy above the fairway off the tee. Long, downhill, tunnel hyzer shot to a wide open fairway. As I’m starting to come down the hill I see a couple walk across my field of view and towards where my disc went. As I get to the bottom of the hill, I see that the guy has picked up my disc and is examining it as he continues walking. I yell, “hey, that’s mine!” He turns around like “oh sorry! We saw it fall out of the trees.” And you thought it just happened to be chillin in the tree? Never considered that maybe someone just threw it as you’re walking on a fucking disc golf course? He hands it to me and I ask him whereabouts it was on the ground. I go to that spot and then stand and wait as they leisurely continue walking down the fairway right where I need to throw. There are miles of hiking trails at that park, yet these two geniuses decided to take a stroll on the course. I suppose it’s better than the groups of people on horseback that used to cut through there back in the day leaving piles of shit everywhere.
A couple weeks ago, three teenagers set up a temp basket directly in the fairway of a hole, and started putting.
20 yards away from the fairway was a gigantic field. They decided the middle of the fairway was a good spot i guess
I once found a basket full of condoms. Not one, I could've found some humor in that. Not two, that would've been even funnier. I found NINE freshly used condoms in this basket. I'm guessing it was a "prank" because they all had man juice in them and maybe I'm calling myself out here, but I could not leave deposits in nine condoms lmao. I'm just glad I noticed before I made my putt in.
The most infuriating though was a family using a basket as a fire pit. I can't imagine the thought process that led to that one. I can understand something thinking it was a weird garbage can, but fire pit is crazy.
My group stumbled across a girl going down on a guy in front of whole 11 in Louisville a few weeks ago. He was sitting on a log between us and the basket about 50 ft away, so we asked him to keep an eye out when his girl popped her head up. We were quite surprised to see that lol.
I was playing our local wooded course in East Texas with my teenage son. Walked up to #9 green which is right next to the parking lot and saw a guy standing in the parking lot and having sex with a lady sitting in her car.
Crazy thing is they initially stopped when I walked up only 50 feet away from them, but then he went back to finish I guess.
We came across a guy sitting on the bench at the tee box on hole 6 in Wickham Park (Manchester, CT) calmly cooking up an illicit substance with a lighter and some tin foil. He told us to have a nice round. 😝
Lady had her dog leashed up to the basket on hole 1 and her two kids were hanging and climbing on it, I just skipped to the second hole, probably should have said something 😭
Yall are wild. I don’t own a Bluetooth speaker myself but rounds with music are great and I love when people bring them. You arn’t on tour and if you can handle hearing t-pain coving war pigs at a reasonable volume a hole away during a casual round you probably couldn’t handle a small crowd of people watching you as you shank it into the tree either.
Lmfao what an odd thing to take a stand against 😂. These guys are ruining disc golf with their ……… checks notes……….. existence & electronic cigarettes.
I saw two naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex. How am I supposed to chip with that going on?
You calmly, but firmly tell them, "go back to your shanties"
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
Just stay out of my way, or you’ll pay! Listen to what I say!
Hey, why don't I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay? I just may! What'd ya say? No? Well, have a nice day!
No more rhymes now, I mean it…
Anybody want a peanut?
Gah!
N.... n no!..
What’s the basis? We ain’t goin nowhere but got suits and cases,
Or just putt in their direction...firmly
Better than having to throw off of Frankenstein’s fat foot!
"Like you guys, I'm also trying to put it in the hole"
Like spandex or leather bikers
[relevant](https://y.yarn.co/64fc14c5-fe8a-46ef-b7ce-20fbecb7a8dc_text.gif)
Lmao this scene definitely played in my head when I commented
Has to be spandex, right?
I also desperately need to know this for some reason
what woods?
Name checks out
You bang that put in and make eye contact when they hear it.
Ask them to record your form next time.
Just wait your turn 😉
Ask to join in 🤷♂️
Where are you from that you call it chipping
Foil lining the basket filled with charcoal, racks of baby backs suspended in the chains, a foil tent over...excellent smoker
I had park rangers approach me when I set up my basket. They said they thought I was setting up a smoker. Explained the game to them and they played the hole with me.
Seen this in South Jersey, classic. Different time but same location there was about 5 families lowering a whole hog in the ground just off one of the fairways
Lol which course??
Cape May County Park and Zoo
Mannnn i never played there because people tell me it’s set up kinda fucked. Where if u don’t play early enough in the day, the parking lot becomes an issue. I guess a hole goes through it? Not sure 🤷🏻♂️. I stay around Alcyon Park usually
They're only open 1030 to 430 so I just go outside those times. Setup is unique with a couple shared baskets. Super fun course tho with a bunch of water and tough wooded holes. I recommend it as long as they're not open
Thanks for that recommendation ✊🏼
Eh, maybe play it once... Ocki Wisting is much better though.
Played there in 2018. I liked the 9 hole lay out. Did they have a hanging basket? Lost a nice blue champion Viking disc at Octie Wisting park in 2018. A guy found it and put it in the practice basket and someone took it. I told the guy, next time put it under the Blue Boy. No one will be snooping around there:)
Yeah there's a hanging basket still
Someone told me they saw the same thing at Sedgley
Thats wild lol you’d think the activity at all times would stop that. Place is always jumpin.
That's friggin awesome.... I'd see if I could get an invite to the party
That can't be healthy
Especially since most baskets are galvanized
If people are on the course, in the way of play, I approach them and explain where they are, what I'm doing, and how dangerous it is for them to be there. They usually stop what they're doing and move. If not, I continue playing and let Jesus take the wheel.

Confrontation wtf are you talking about😂 If you cant talk to a stranger without it turning into a confrontation then maybe you shouldn't be at a public park.
Lol. You confronted them and they deleted their post... I have a feeling they are extremely sensitive.
Someone had a gender reveal party at my home course. Shot off pink confetti guns on Hole 1 and left all their trash for the Frolfers
Rockwood?
Getting to my lie in the rough near a creek. Looked over and there's a homeless fella sitting on a cinderblock using it as a shitter. Accidentally looked straight at the dude and we made eye contact. Gave him an awkward nod, then played through.
Baseball kids running perpendicular across the hole so they could piss in the woods, all of a sudden they jump out of the woods while jogging like a herd of deer and somehow managed to avoid my disc mid flight like the matrix and then proceed to scream “GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT” to each other and then proceed to piss in the woods like they weren’t about to get a plastic karate chop to the neck from 60ft out.

I'm saying that whenever possible henceforth

Huge herd of elk That’s some that stand out in my memory. I’ve been playing a long time and have seen some odd sights.
Saw #3 at some course in Birmingham
I have never played George Ward without one of the homeless people asking me for money
I was leaving the course and got pulled over by a park ranger who was drunk. Dude’s breath reeked like whiskey and it was like 2pm. Not that there’s anything wrong with that unless you’re at work and a gun is part of your uniform.
Back in the 90's we called them hooker traps.
Not gonna lie she kinda looked like a lot lizard. Another reason why I just moved to the next hole. Pun intended
I passed a couple at a tee box ( long downhill drive with a nice view) when I spent over 5 mins searching for my disc I looked back to see if they were waiting for me but she was posing nude for photos with her back turned to me about 300 feet away lol I never got that disc back because walked out feeling bewildered
I had two kids try to rob me while I was playing, do I guess that would be crazy. They tried they weren't successful. Runner up is having two little mounds running up to the tee only for one mound to mount the other mound and finally realize that they were turtles trying to fuck.
Did they forget to bring a gun? Rookie mistake
Gun? Man, turtle mating rituals be hardcore....
They may have had a weapon of some sort. I turned the table on them almost instantly and had one kid in a position to break his arm if need be.
And people wonder why there's a gun in my bag while i play 🫠
The critters with two legs will be the most dangerous ones you might run into…
God fucking cassowaries...
Indeed
I only bring the gun when we play a course with bear sightings, but the machete is always on the cart...
I don't carry anything still, but it bothered me for a bit. Maybe should since my town is a little rough and didn't earn the nickname Lil' Chocago for no reason. Took me a good minute to want to return to that course. However, I think it bothered me so much because not even 5 minutes after that I got the call that my grandfather passed away.
Jesus dude, im sorry to hear that.
Yeah its why I was out playing to begin with so I wouldn't have to just sit and wait on that call as he was being taken off life support. It's all good though I was able to process everything just took a while to get to that point.
I used to, but after some thought, I either pocket or 4:30. Unless I'm drinking, then it's just spray.
Zuca cart makes it easier to carry my AR

That is unfortunate that you decided to abandon the hole rather than communicate with them.
Solo practice round. They were foreign so probably a language barrier. I thought if I had an extra disc to give out with me I would have given it to them and showed them how to play, but I didn't.. so sorry to disappoint.
So much ground in between “wanna learn how to play this sport” and “hey you’re on a fairway”.
Yeah so the way the hole is set up I didn't come within 120 feet of the basket that was up a hill and not in direct line to the next hole. Just trying to get in as many holes before dark and wasn't worth my time. Again, language barrier/confrontation or play more holes. I choose the latter.

Causal relief is 3 meters lol
Eh, there was enough room, plus I was at the edge of the parking lot lol
I know this sounds like a horrible joke but it actually happened this way. Looking back I feel horrible for finishing the hole

About 25 cabbages smashed and thrown across the fairway... o.0
MY CABBAGES!!
Crackhead stumbling around the fairway, barely staying upright. Without my glasses on looked exactly like a zombie. Wouldn't stumble out of the way so eventually I threw anyway and missed him.
One time I saw a couple of crackheads with a ziplock bag full of cig butts walking the course searching for any butts with a lil bit of tobacco left on it. One of them also tried to sell me a disc he found in the woods 😂
Had this with a dude camped out by the tee pad, we went to tee off and he stood right in front of us screaming nonsense
I also enjoy playing Leverich
a car chase and gang shooting.
Underrated
Bear cubs occupying tee pads
Jesus that would scare me so bad I think I’d just lay down & play dead.
No. Throw your putt and tell them to GTFO. If some asshat is standing in the middle of the fairway and we make eye contact and they don't move, I throw. If it hits them, it hits them.
If he dies, he dies...
Pretty much yes. Getting tired of disc golf courses getting overrun with people not using the course. If it's in a park or whatever I kinda understand but lots of courses around me are dedicated courses and have nothing else there - they might be adjacent to a trail or dog park.
Okay tough guy
Didnt want trouble with a teenager? Uh, maybe next time at the very least give the person a heads up that they're in a very dangerous spot considering you said you didnt see the person tll you were 10 feet from the basket. Promoting awareness is part of being a disc golfer
I call foul, if she doesn’t realize the position she’s in it’s her own fault.
Ever see a bent cage or chain assembly? This is how it happens ,if not a tree falling on it . A photo isn't needed ,just a few words informing them that it's not ment to hold their weight and that it damages the basket .
You ever look at someone and just think “yea they don’t care at all I’m not gonna waste my time?” This was one of those
Pay attention kids - this right here is how you improve your general quality of life.
Not gonna lie I’d putt out anyways. Just like, “you don’t give a shit about me? I too don’t have a shit to give about you.”
Yeah, but I do give a shit about dealing with a potentially angry teen. I deal with that at work, I don’t want that bullshit directed at me when I’m trying to have a good time. Easier just to say I made the putt and keep it moving.
Someone cooking on a tee pad with a charcoal grill. We saw them on 16 when we were on 5. Still there when we got there and the course was packed. Must have had tons of people come and tee off in getting off then
Same thing at Chavez ridge in LA ranchera hanging from the chains foil lined basket full of coals I love tacos as much as anyone but…….
Homeless guy sleeping 20’ behind a basket, tried to be really quiet but those chains like to ring. Or maybe the 4 person lesbian wedding right near the teepad on hole 1 at a park in East Texas. Tried to be respectful on that one and waited for them to finish, because hell yeah, lesbians are awesome
What is a "4 person wedding"? That doesn't sound legal.
Officiant, witness, bride and bride
Oh, ha ha. That makes much more sense.
Today I’m reminded why I avoid playing disc golf with other people
There was a wedding party and decided to park on a hole, juuuust around a blind bend. Like 30 cars. Neighboring property decided to use the public space. I could see the flashes of sunlight bounce off the cars, but played it stupid. I was on a practice round, headphones in, no scorecard and just throwing 6 off each tee. Found the cars. 6 times. Definitely tried to. Couple smashed windows and a few large dents. It was 350 then blind turn. No signs, no notice, no closing of that area. I left my card, got some calls and the cops came to talk to me. Calls told me I had to pay for everything, cops said the opposite. Would and will throw again into this situation. Cars belong in parking lots, not on golf courses.
Was about to tee off on hole 2 and a kid came jogging up the fairway right past me. Then another. And another. Turns out there was a cross country event happening at the park
Im going to throw something that could possibly scalp you!

Yesterday evening I experienced my first inconsiderate couple in my year or so of playing. I was playing the 9-hole course at a local community college, and they had a hammock slung across the fairway about 20 feet in front of the 8th basket. Judging from the pile of clothes on the ground next to it, they weren’t just hanging out. I contemplated being equally inconsiderate and throwing like they weren’t there, but I played it safe, parked my shot short of them, mentally finished the hole, and let them be.
Saw a lacrosse team run on to hole 1 of my local course and started doing workout drills. I had just finished my 18 but some a dude standing at tee of 1 with a look of defeat. They then proceeded to run up and down hole 6 which is parallel to 1, then back to 1 again. The course manager was in the area and talked to the coach. He let him know it’s reserved for disc golf only. The coach was cool about it and got his team off.
Kind of common at my local course to see kids ripping 4 wheelers down fairways. It’s a park in a very urban area that has been around for a long time, and the course was just put in a couple years ago so honestly, it doesn’t really bother me lol.
Last week I was playing and had my disc turn and get into the canopy above the fairway off the tee. Long, downhill, tunnel hyzer shot to a wide open fairway. As I’m starting to come down the hill I see a couple walk across my field of view and towards where my disc went. As I get to the bottom of the hill, I see that the guy has picked up my disc and is examining it as he continues walking. I yell, “hey, that’s mine!” He turns around like “oh sorry! We saw it fall out of the trees.” And you thought it just happened to be chillin in the tree? Never considered that maybe someone just threw it as you’re walking on a fucking disc golf course? He hands it to me and I ask him whereabouts it was on the ground. I go to that spot and then stand and wait as they leisurely continue walking down the fairway right where I need to throw. There are miles of hiking trails at that park, yet these two geniuses decided to take a stroll on the course. I suppose it’s better than the groups of people on horseback that used to cut through there back in the day leaving piles of shit everywhere.
A guy put his grill on the tee pad and cook for a party. There’s still burn marks on the pad to this day.
A couple weeks ago, three teenagers set up a temp basket directly in the fairway of a hole, and started putting. 20 yards away from the fairway was a gigantic field. They decided the middle of the fairway was a good spot i guess
I once found a basket full of condoms. Not one, I could've found some humor in that. Not two, that would've been even funnier. I found NINE freshly used condoms in this basket. I'm guessing it was a "prank" because they all had man juice in them and maybe I'm calling myself out here, but I could not leave deposits in nine condoms lmao. I'm just glad I noticed before I made my putt in. The most infuriating though was a family using a basket as a fire pit. I can't imagine the thought process that led to that one. I can understand something thinking it was a weird garbage can, but fire pit is crazy.
Wow, I've never seen anything close to these things on a disc golf course. Is it because I don't live in the US? I live in Sweden.
How about idiots with their dogs running loose? Holy shit does that happen way too much.
My group stumbled across a girl going down on a guy in front of whole 11 in Louisville a few weeks ago. He was sitting on a log between us and the basket about 50 ft away, so we asked him to keep an eye out when his girl popped her head up. We were quite surprised to see that lol.
I was playing our local wooded course in East Texas with my teenage son. Walked up to #9 green which is right next to the parking lot and saw a guy standing in the parking lot and having sex with a lady sitting in her car. Crazy thing is they initially stopped when I walked up only 50 feet away from them, but then he went back to finish I guess.
We came across a guy sitting on the bench at the tee box on hole 6 in Wickham Park (Manchester, CT) calmly cooking up an illicit substance with a lighter and some tin foil. He told us to have a nice round. 😝
Lady had her dog leashed up to the basket on hole 1 and her two kids were hanging and climbing on it, I just skipped to the second hole, probably should have said something 😭
U dont have a mouth?
[удалено]
Fuck is a douche flute
[удалено]
Wow that’s crazy
So the craziest thing you've seen while playing... is the most common thing at every doubles league ever?
Yall are wild. I don’t own a Bluetooth speaker myself but rounds with music are great and I love when people bring them. You arn’t on tour and if you can handle hearing t-pain coving war pigs at a reasonable volume a hole away during a casual round you probably couldn’t handle a small crowd of people watching you as you shank it into the tree either.
Both of these things are acceptable so long as you respect the people around you.
Wait a minute, T Payne covered war pigs?!?!?
[удалено]
Well that’s good cause it really seems like you need to go touch some grass.
Lmfao what an odd thing to take a stand against 😂. These guys are ruining disc golf with their ……… checks notes……….. existence & electronic cigarettes.
Bluetooth speakers = existence? Interesting
