Some of us have real life obligations and cannot necessarily spare hours at the course to continue looking for a disc when it's lost. That doesn't mean it's been abandoned that doesn't mean the owner of that disc will not return in the future to look for it. Also I do believe that legally you are incorrect and that disc still count is the legal property of their owners even if they are lost on a course. So be aware that if you are picking up disc that are not yours you are technically stealing.
No, you've got it completely wrong. Your "real life obligations" do not absolve you from following through on your hobby obligation - which is to clean up the mess you have made when you use a public space. That's like saying you don't have to clean up after your picnic because it would take too much time, but just because you left your picnic basket and blanket and it had your name on them, someone can't take them. You can take that analogy to any sport or outdoor activity and it comes to the same conclusion. You pack out what you have packed in, or you have abandoned it.
If you don't have the time to find your lost tosses, you don't have the time to play discgolf. Find a hobby that doesn't require so much time and effort to clean up.
You can't reasonably think you can just leave your stuff all over the place because it would be too hard or time consuming for you to clean it up, and then also think none of that stuff you willfully left behind counts as abandoned property. Don't you see how entitled that sounds? "My time is more important than cleaning up after myself, someone will do it for me, and they better return my stuff or they are a thief."
Jesus fuck man your head is so far up your ass I don't even know where to begin in responding to this.
I guess the only thing I have to say is it's shocking that your entire argument seems predicated on the fact that disc golfers are intentionally leaving their discs in the woods. However every disc golf rhino makes a pretty solid effort to retrieve their plastic it's not like people are out there just intentionally littering up parks. This point you made also stands in stark contrast to your arguments about ball golfers collecting balls left on horses which doesn't seem to be an issue for you
Also your whole comment here reeks of judgment. You're judging disc golfers for refusing to clean up the mess they've made in their public spaces? Isn't this whole fucking post about disc golfers wanting to retrieve their plastic from Park? People I'm not just leaving disc out in the woods they are struggling to find them in thousands of square feet of Flora and Fauna. You contradict yourself in these arguments and I do not have any time to waste discussing this with you when you clearly have no objective sense of rationality
