I fish discs out of a pond that likes to collect them. The majority of the time, people just say it's yours. Think I've only had 2 or 3 people meet up with me to get it back. One of the times, the person happened to be on the course.
I know a LOT of disc golfers and maybe 1% would give away a disk they were using as most of us are attached to the discs we use.. because we need to rely on them, we use the ones we know, and don'r want to have to keep forking out $ for something new. Here in NZ it's illegal to posses an item without performing the basic process of trying to contact the owner... If it has a Ph number then that person should be contacted (and not just a single unanswered ring). We've all lost something. and all had that sinking feeling knowing someone picked it up and didn't even attempt to return it. (Theft). A lot of people play at these courses from out of town and can't come back after a match to dive etc for a disc so claiming an item as 'Abandoned' doesn't cut it in law due to the possibility that there was no choice to leave and come back possibly days/week later). I've lost discs, most returned.. but my 1st expensive, left on a field in haste (and my ADD) Named and numbered.. not a single call... (and it wasn't a vivid marker that you can just rub clean)... I personally have found probably 20 discs.. I now have a lot of friends in the game that I have returned discs to (and one that keeps throwing a bag full on a practice so several of his)... and yes, I have a few un named.. but that hasn't stopped me from finding the owner of most of them.. and mention the ones that haven't to any new groups.. (Currently an RPM Kahu that was deep in blackberry on a local.. but the owner would have to have spent 4 hours slashing to get where I did.. so that wasn't his fault he didn't find it...)... And yes.. I have a disc I lost in a lake.. 200k from home, in a 20ft deep hole... and i don't have gear to dive for it... but I named it.. because I hope the person that finds it isn't just in it for selling other peoples gear... I like returning discs... because I know how many others feel after loosing their plastic friends.
Why? Did you lose a disc? Did you not see the body of water starring at you when you decided to throw it. I speak for myself, not the publisher. Just a little disclaimer for all you sensitive disc golf players who have a silly PDGA number who throws expensive discs in the water at their own risk.
@@burningtares6611 It just polite to call the people that lost them, who knows they could give you a bigger reward than just the cost of a disc. I’ve paid people really well just to get a certain disc back to me because it was probably a disc that I had for years and didn’t wanna loose it. Plus it’s the right thing to do.
@@chadjacksonDG I would say it’s a nice gesture and a good deed returning a disc. Saying “hopefully” or “right thing to do” I disagree, because that sounds like one is immoral if they don’t. At the end of the day, the player solely decides if they should risk it or not. You literally have 17 or 16 more holes to play. It’s not like golf courses have a water hole on every other hole. I get your point though. Personally, if there was a mark of importance on a disk I would try and return it.
@@burningtares6611 And all you people that walk around with a wallet full of cards and money and loose it crossing a field, you deserve to loose it because you chose to have that wallet with you while out enjoying what you do and obviously abandoned it. So even though it is theft keeping an item that has the owner information, without attempting at least the basics of contact... I'm going to make some smart comment. @chadjacksonDG probably HAS lost a disc, maybe not there.. but like most of us disc golfers (often forced in a tournament to throw across a water hazard, then have no time to attempt a recovery before having to travel home) actual feels sympathy for others who lost gear and had some ass keep it for themselves.
@@burningtares6611 You do know that "Possesion is 9-10ths of the law is a completely misinterpreted statement... it basically means if your caught with an item it fairly much prooves you are in possesion of it.. not that you won it because you posses it (like only a school kid would assume)... Otherwise it is ILLEGAL not to give back (or at least attempt the basic contacts) an item that has the owners contact detail (or other means of identification like a serial umber on a bike, a licence plate on a car/trailer... a tag/RFID on a PET... (By the way, if your playing a PDGA round you have NO CHOICE to look for that disc over 3 minutes or blow the whole reason you travelled up to 2-300K to get there...
Id be pissed if I tossed one in during a tourney and came back 2 days later to fish it out only to find someone dove for it without me telling them to and taking it without giving me the chance to fish it. You cant fish during a tourney. Do the right thing, call or text the numbers. :D
They are probably taking them to their local used sporting goods store and selling those disc to them. The disc sport means nothing to them at all except ripping people off .. disc golfers code LOOK IT UP ..
Not if they are returning the named/numbered discs and attempting to advertise the recovery event locally so at least local disc golfers have a chance to claim a disc (usually even when un-named there are obvious identifying features on a disc... even tho mine are all named/# I can also identify features of each disc (ive been throwing them for over 2 years) and my pen is a Test&Tag 03 pen that is near impossible to erase (unlike vivids that wipe off with meths. The last tournament i went to (my 1st actually)... I threw 1 disc in to the same hazard twice (just within recovery reach) and on the 3rd round the next morning I threw a brand new disc in deep... Named about 5 minutes earlier... not returned yet.. but it's been winter.. and its a swan lake... icky... really need a tank for that. q8D

It should be a standard thing that tournament provides some divers for this after the last round.
Hopefully you guys are calling/ trying to get a hold of those people that lost they’re discs.

Any AGL discs there? I think they are the best

You cant fish during a tourney. Do the right thing, call or text the numbers. :D
I threw a orange light weight originals dd3 into that 1st pond a month ago.
Wanna sell a mystery box 😂
Waiting for you to find my disc
They are probably taking them to their local used sporting goods store and selling those disc to them. The disc sport means nothing to them at all except ripping people off .. disc golfers code LOOK IT UP ..
Boy there's some salt in here! I'm pretty sure any that had contact info, they contacted.
I can't believe they didn't turn all these into Ducks Discs and let Ducks do what they want with them.🙂🙃😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Send me a couple lol
Cheap skates
