Title: Lost at Oakbrook
Post by: Mukey on August 01, 2007, 02:10:52 PM
OK, so it's more like left than lost. I threw an extra drive today around noon on Hole #9 showing Scott a forehand shot & like an idiot forgot to pick it up. After a trip to Dick's, Sportmart, and Fry's; I finally realize that it's not in my bag.

It a 165g Pink Star Firebird. Has my name (either Chris or Mukey)& PDGA# (27889) on it.

I did go back once I realized, knowing my chances of it being there were small, and of course it wasn't. I even asked one of the ground maintenance crew, but he said he hadn't seen it.

I probably won't see it again, but it sucks to have met Scott there to purchase a Pink Star disc & then leave one there.
Talk about short term memory loss... :-[

holy cow, I thought you picked both of those discs up, they were practically right next to one another.  I forgot about it because my putt was further up and to the left.  Man that really stinks!

I lost a Star Firebird a few weeks ago in the same fashion. No clue where I left it or what course really, but it wasn't there when I went to use it next. Got a 'thanks for the disc" phone call about a week later.  >:(

bump

beacause I lost a Star Wraith on hole 5, in the huge evergreen tree in the middle of the fairway.  Its stuck waaay up there somewhere- it was getting too dark to see.  It's white with a BG Ams stamp and has my name/number on the back.  I'll reward with cash or plastic, I would really like to get that one back.

if I have time tonight I'll stop by and try to take a look.  I played there today, although anything that hit that tree later came down.  Although.... are you thinking hole 3?  That's the one with the evergreen in the middle.  Hole 5 has an evergreen on the left and 2 on the right.

I have a fiberglass 28' telescopic kite pole that can be used to knock the disc out if I can see it... but I need to know if it's hole 3 or 5 before I go hunting :)

Definitely hole 5...  It is the big tree on the left side of the fairway.  I was trying to throw an anhyzer over the tree and caught the very top of it.  It fell straight into the tree and never came out.
