The Aceman Cometh

[stpitner]

that certainly helps keep you moving in front of that group, nicely done

Finally hit #3 at Willow Stream. That hole is so short, and it seems to be every beginner in the world has hit it. I've been playing the course for almost 10 years now and it took me this long. Clean hit with a glow Wizard, no tree play

Hit #15 at Jericho Lake today with a FLX buzzz while playing a 35 minute speed round that I shot a 12 under at with just the buzz and a putter!

[tacimala]

Wow nice round! Shorts I'm guessing?

[Fox Metro Discer]

Yeah, I'm still working on the 350 foot buzzz shot, I'm saving it for worlds!

Hit #15 at Jericho Lake today with a FLX buzzz while playing a 35 minute speed round that I shot a 12 under at with just the buzz and a putter!

I had just tee'd off on 15, when I see this guy run through the casual group behind me, putt out on 14, and take the tee. It looked like he was in a hurry, so I offered to let him play through, and stood next to the pine trees about the middle of the fairway to watch. The throw sailed in a perfect curved arc, pretty high, right into the basket. Then he lets out a single 'woo-hoo', runs by, grabs his disc, and keeps going. Well done!

Many kudos to both of yous for hitting aces and then reviving the proper ace thread.

I might be wrong but I think that rev rick watched the Ace of Fox Metro first hand. But kudos to Fox Metro for sure.

Nice ace! I've been playing that course for 17 years and have never hit #3. The reason...I don't aim for the basket! I throw a straight shot that's going to hit the ground to the right and in front of the basket (pretty much just to the right of the guardian tree). I would have to miss my landing zone by a LOT in order to get an ace on 3! I used to aim for the basket on that hole but I wound up hitting the guardian tree too many times and getting a 3.

I've actually only aced 7 and old 9 at Willow Stream. I've aced 7 multiple times. I've hit the basket on 6 too many times to remember. I've gone full chain on 4 several times but they never dropped. I hit the basket on 5 once. I hit the basket on 2 once and it took a huge chunk out of my disc! 1 and 8 are out of my range for aces but I've deuced 8 a few times...never deuced hole 1.

I gave up trying to ace 3 years ago myself. I usually aim at the bush on the very right that's guarding the tee on 4, and let the disc fade out towards the basket. This time there was a slight right-left wind and it gave the disc the extra push it needed, I guess.

I hit 6 only twice on that course... But it was on the same day, back to back rounds. My first ace ever was on hole 4 there. My buddy Kyle chained out on hole 8 last year. That was a crazy throw. Too bad it didn't stick.

Thanks for letting me play through, you still get an assist on that one Rick!

The Aceman hasn't Cometh to me since Pennsylvania so I went looking for him at one of the places he is easy to find.  Auburn Hills Civic Center Park.  One of the five shortest permanent basket courses on the planet, last I knew. 

We played four rounds of nine.  They replaced the missing basket so these rounds counted for record attempting purposes.  The round where I aced I missed tying the course record because a fifteen foot gimme hit the gathering ring and came right back at me.  In the third round Kira and I were standing on the last tee, tied at 16.  I'd say tied at minus 8, but these are all par 2 holes!  Both of our ace runs went high and we both missed our come back putts. 

Hole 5, 73 feet.     Almost doesn't count as an ace.  I just wanted Jon to know we were out shooting for his course record.  I tied it once with a two-ace round. 

Kiralyn says she really enjoys playing for the record there because every throw is critical.  Half the holes you have to park the basket and half the holes you have to run the basket and make the comeback.  It's like playing pro, she says.

The club invitational saw 4 aces (on 4 different holes). Each lucky player brought in $15.50

Got my first Ace on hole 3 at Round Lake Doubles on 9/20/08. 

I threw a teebird with about 80% power and it was a thing of beauty the way it blew up the chains!

What's funny is that it was only around 15 minutes after someone else hit it on the same hole.  We split $15 hahaha

[airspuds]

my  brother got hole 7 at orland park doogan 175 ft
lefty hyzer putter

never up never in

I believe I've used all my aces up for the next ten years.  I got two in one round at Fairfield during the final day of the IOS.  Holes 7 & 13, both blind shots.  The first one I couldn't believe it, it was our second hole of the first round.  6 holes later SLAM.  I don't know the odds of that happening, but my last ace was about 5 years ago.  I think my odds of getting another for a while is slim to none. Hopefully I'm wrong.  They were also my first tournament aces ever.  All of my others (4) have come in casual rounds with friends.  Took $88 from the ace pool. (one other was hit.  hole 15 blind as well.)

Kyle- I made a copy of the score card and have the original for you.

Today @ Parkside West Hole 8 

Do you mean the original course? That's a nice ace if so.
If you mean the "Disc Eater" course, that might be the first ace on that course. I haven't heard of any others.

Yes, the original course. It was a slight hyzer with a roc and it found its way through the gardian trees.
