I recently heard this story through someone at dgcoursereview. I found it pretty funny so I thought I would share it with everyone here.
This is how he told the story:
"Was told the following story just over lunch break. I'll tell it like he told me.
There is a hole over in Plymouth, MN that has a blind basket. The hill crest is just past the teepad and then it goes downhill to the basket, and then to the right there is a bunch of picnic tables. I just ripped my drive over the hill and then ran up to the top of the hill to watch where it was landing. My drive was in the middle of the fairway so I was fine, and I turned to my buddy and told him to go. When he let go, he released with a TON of griplock, shanking the disc way off to the right. Completely ignorant of the situation at hand was a lady sitting by herself at a picnic table. She was on the phone, and looked like she was waiting for someone with a giant bucket of KFC chicken. I screamed "look out!" and "Fore!" a couple times, but she never heard me. The disc goes flying in and just takes out the bucket of chicken. Fried chicken parts go everywhere and the bucket lands empty on the ground. Completely shocked the lady just sits there and stares blankly at what was supposed to be her lunch...."
I think that was the essay question on the Course Design Flaws 101 final exam. :rolleyes:
something similar yet not quite like that happened to my brother at Aurora over the weekend - he's playing hole 7A over the lake, short 190' shot. It was the last hole of the day, he was out of the money, and he didn't want to lose his disc to the water. So he decides to hyzer a shot to stay on land.
I guess his throw was going alright, but it hit a tree branch, which redirected it and it lands PERFECTLY in a bucket that contained fish that were caught by the people fishing in the lake. oops! When he went to retrieve his disc, the fisherman was calling out to him, "wrong bucket!" :)
There was also some questions on if he was OB or not (jokingly), since he WAS, after, completely surrounded by water in that bucket lol.

I'll leave it to Krupicka to explain, in excruciating detail, why it wasn't OB... 8)
...or better yet, why it may have been....
A few years ago, I tried to really hyzer a disc and I lost grip. It flew BACKWARDS over my head and landed near the last basket we just finished :-[
