Funny Story: After playing a round of disc golf in the rain Saturday morning I arrived home to find that a friend of ours parked in our driveway so I couldn’t pull into the garage. I opened the garage door and took my bag in to pull the discs out so they could dry along with my bag. I spread the discs out on the floor because I didn’t have the car in there, and was quit pleased with the fact that they all could lay out flat across the ground, after admiring all the discs lined up for a few minutes I headed inside. Our friend stayed late Saturday and when she left with her two small children, I was ready for bed but thought, “I should pull the car in the garage”. I jumped into the car and pulled into the garage. While I was upstairs getting ready for bed, this horrible feeling came over me as I realized that I had just run over my discs. I screamed out loud, “oh, no!” and ran downstairs opened the garage and to my horror the car was over almost all my discs. I get down on my hands and knees and see that two discs are under the tire, in a panic I reach under the car and pull at the two trapped discs. I was able to pull one of them free but the other required backing the car up. After pulling the second disc free I just stood there holding the two discs in my arms hoping that they would be ok. It felt as though I had run over a small child. All the while my wife is looking on probably wondering what kind of a weirdo she has married. I think I’m hooked on disc golf.

yeah, it appears that no harm has come to them. I won’t know for sure until I’m out throwing them but they seem fine. Thanks for the concern

That is a really funny story that I will pass along on the course tomorrow! Usually a car rolling over a disc will take some of the stability out of it, it depends on how much permanent damage there is. Can you see a ring line where the wing connects with the top plate? if so, this disc will probably fly a bit straighter now. Good thing you got to them right away, the plastic usually regains its molded shape once the impairment is removed if there was not excessive time involved.
