He had just switched to throwing a different company and instead of taking the Discraft sticker off his car, he scraped off the “D” and the “t”. My favorite was a guy who posted a pic on Facebook. “I’m sorry, it looks like my dog took a crap in your bag when I wasn’t looking, want me to clean that stuff out of there?” “If that was really a good disc, Innova would have already made it.”
“Hey, I’ve got to go take a dump, give me one of those Latitude discs so I have something to wipe my ass with.” Here’s just a few of the things I’ve heard said to me or others so far this summer… The more new disc golf companies that arrive on the scene, the worse this is getting.
But it happens enough lately that it’s been on my mind. You know, that one who thinks every disc made by the brand they carry will not only automatically ace every hole, but will make them smarter and better looking just by picking it up.ĭon’t get me wrong, this doesn’t happen every day I play. I’m talking about the jackass who thinks their brand of disc is the only one worth throwing. I also don’t mean the person who sees me struggling with a particular shot or line and suggests a mold that might help. They do that about everything and it’s all in good fun. I don’t mean my friends giving me a hard time. Otherwise known as their unsolicited opinion of the discs I’m carrying. What is this thing I refer to? It’s another person’s nose. Funny thing is that while I run into a ton of people who want to put this in my bag, I don’t know anyone at all who wants it in their own disc golf bag. Others, though, are insistent to the point of rudeness. At first, I politely tell them I don’t want it in my bag. More and more, though, I keep running into people who want to put something in my bag that I absolutely do not want in there. I pretty much know what I want in my disc golf bag. That fluctuates based on where I’m playing, how far away from home I am, and how long I’m going to be there. Bug spray, towel, dirt bag, mini, pencil, wallet, phone, and keys. Everything from sun screen to baseballs to lip balm to dog treats.įor me, I carry a lot less than I used to. A while back, I posted a link on the resource page that itemized many of the most common things we disc golfers carry in our bags besides discs.
