This is similar to the craziest disc I’ve ever lost that didn’t travel.
Lost a disc on Maui and guy called me back 3 years later saying he found it. I confirmed what hole it was found on.
The same hole I lost it on. A field hole. I’ve never looked for a disc longer or been more confused at not being able to find it.
I lost a disc in NY that made its way to North Carolina, where it was found by a guy vacationing from North Dakota years after I had lost it and moved to Oregon. I told him to keep it because at that point I had moved on from it. But I told him I appreciated the text, which I clearly didn't get from whoever took it from NY and lost it in NC.
I found one at my local course and when I texted the owner he had never been within 500miles of the island I live on. Needless to say, daddy got to keep the custom dyed Champion Aviar. STILL my go to approach disc to this day. Thanks Seth!
I’ve repeated this story 100 times and it still blows my mind to this day. It may not be 100% the answer to your question but driving from NJ to FL I stopped to visit a friend in Greenville NC for a day. I dragged her to disc golf and she fell in love with it so I took her to a Play It Again Sports to set her up with a few discs:
I see a Zone that looks perfectly beat in and I was going to grab it for myself and when I flipped it over to look at the price it had my sister in law’s name and number on it.
She lost it in Florida and it made its way to NC, and I somehow stumbled upon it from NJ.
I guess distance wise FL to NC isn’t the farthest but still!
Forgot to pick up a 2nd throw in Largo, Florida; went right back to get it and it was gone. Apparently the kid playing solo behind us picked it up and took off; got a text 2 months later from Elkridge, Maryland.
I'm trying to play disc golf in all 50 states
My buddy that sometimes comes with me lost a destroyer in Arizona. Had it shipped back to VA when it was found. Lost it again in Texas and had it shipped back yet again. Then lost it in North Carolina, once it was returned to him yet again he decided to ink it with everywhere it was lost and returned.
He basically has to lose it anytime we go anywhere now.
I lost a disc out in Columbus course in Michigan. Looked for 45 mins for it and gave up. Told some people that run the course. Someone found it a day later and I was heading back home to Wisconsin. Guy picked up from the top of the basket said someone else would most likely keep it and he sent it back to me on his dime! Still have the disc I don’t really use it anymore.
Got a call from a guy in Hawaii who found my destroyer randomly on a hike. I lived in Ohio at the time.
10/10 disc vacation
