Im certain a nice size percentage of us have done this at some point. Worst part is shutting the ringer off so calling it becomes an issue in itself. Nowadays we have app locators (but I don't) and not sure we all have that.
None the less, the feeling of first realizing you have no idea where your phone is can be quite disturbing. For me...I cant just continue to play on to only worry later. Happened yesterday to me for the first time in a very long time. I had forgot to wear my range watch and so I was using my phone range app for yardages. Not for that my phone usually stays put in a bag or cart pouch but yesterday I needed it out and running the yardage app. At one point Im like.."Oh crap", "where the heck is my phone" as I was also looking for a tee shot along the left side rough. I had to let my group play on and backtrack to the last tee. Thankfully there it was sitting on a bench near the tee box...lol. Of course I let the hole go and just joined at the next tee box. Thankfully I didn't have to go around trying to recall all my recent plays and steps. I also had the ringer on low volume so was able to hear it just barely enough.
Its been years but it has happened two other times where I did have to go back and recall all the places I was and both those times I luckily found the darn thing after the round was over. But my phone now is work related and technically not even my own phone so finding it (once realized lost) is top priority.
But losing anything of importance mid round is quite disturbing. Keys, phone, expensive glasses, whatever, there are some things we can say "oh well" but then some things is more like "oh crap" I have to find this like yesterday.
