Whats the worst thing you've ever done to retrieve a disc?

My name is Travis and I am a disc golf addict. Ok. I cant believe I am telling this story but here it goes.I was playing Bartholomew park in Austin Texas which is known for eating discs.I usually loose 1-2 every trip there.I went in the canal with the 1st diac I ever bought on hole 11 or so .My yellow Viper was in the canal/sewer where I could see it.The thing about Bart park is,if you stir the water up it gets cloudy and you cant see the disc anymore.So I went into the sewer head first and grabbed my Viper and I still have it today.lol

Ok this last Sunday I was playing by myself getting some good practice throwing the whole bag at every hole. When I got to hole nine which has the basket backs up to a pound and my eagle went in I wasn't going to get until what should happen but my fav putter went in the pond also. So I strip down to my boxers break the Ice off the top of the pound I get my eagle and then go for my putter got about 8 feet away and found a stick thought I would try and get my disc with that not wanting to get wet all the was to my chest. So I reach out with the stick and what should happen I break the ICE and my black putter sinks to the bottom about 6 feet down. So not only did I go into a frozen pound but I only got one of my disc back.

Thats the thing I did and I couldn't feel the disc. And I could feel my toes freezing . I had to get out.

I was just pokin fun there Thunder. Did you see the video of the guy getting dragged across the ice on an innertube? That was classic! I'm glad we don't have alot of water hazzard on our courses!

I convinced someone to jump into a water trap to fetch a disc worth about 25 cents.

It was April, in Wisconsin. There was still snow on the ground.

I have walked out to the middle of a cove when it was 60 out and there was still ice on the lake....i heard the ice cracking the whole time i was out there.......i still dont know how i didnt fall in.lol

I fell 15' off of a roof onto a bikerack and broke 3 ribs, 2 bones in my back and collapsed a lung.

Glad to hear somebody else did that too. You should have been around about io years ago before they cleaned Bart up and there was nothing but raw sewage flowing through it. That's where I learned not to throw in the water. By the way it's my all time favorite course and where I learned how to play.

I've jumped in the creek at a ball golf course many a time to retrieve a stupid little white ball for my golfers many a time... all in the caddy job if they don't have a ball retriever, are adamant they want their ball back, and a club won't reach it...

As for discs, I had a friend climb a tree full of poison ivy for my favorite disc... it's a good thing he isn't allergic to poison ivy! He was all scratched up from climbing the tree shirtless, but he never got poison ivy from it!

A few years ago (when sponsored by Discraft) I threw my favorite Comet on the the ice 2 days prior to the event taking place. Any other piece of plastic probably wouldn't have mattered but this was a slightly worn in Comet that flew perfectly for me.

That night a buddy and I wrote up my rescue mission on a napkin at a bar. Maybe that that's an indicator of what's to come. Needless to say, my buddy and I won the tournament but after it was all said and done the real work was just beginning. Watch and enjoy.
