hit my 14th today. Hole #6 Bradley Park in Peoria, 157 ft. but it came on my birthday. What a present from the disc golf Gods 
Hit it with an Aviar Putter.

Is that the blind uphill hyzer shot?  Good ace.

You guys aren't going to believe this, because I'm having a hard time believing it myself. Tonight Brett and I met at Streamwood to play best shot doubles. My group started on 18, so our last hole was 17. I'm the last guy to throw in my group. It's 270 feet straight shot shooting out of a tree area on the right, bushes on the left. I threw my Z Wildcat and it went straight out, faded right and as it came back to the left with about 50 feet to go, my partner, Paul, says "ACE BABY" followed by a CHINGGGGG!!!!! I hit the ACE!!!! And get this, the ace pool was $250!!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it. 3 aces in two weeks. Whoooooohooooooooo!!!!!!

I thought Jon might enjoy this blast from the past.

Is that the blind uphill hyzer shot?  Good ace. 

Thanks. yes, that's the hole, but I went straight at it, heard chains but didn't know until we walked up on it.

Hit #15 today, and it was XTRA special. Came in my last round before the cut for semifinals at Worlds. Hole #4 at Shawnee Mission. 300' blind anhyzer uphill. Hit it with a Pro Line Orc. Longest out of all my 15!

I didn't see it. But I heard it.  At the Northwoods Open @ Sandy Point Resort on the 24th hole there was an Ace.  If you haven't been to Sandy Point the 24th hole is a 337 foot hole that runs along the edge of the lake and the basket sits on a peninsula that juts out with a creek on the backside of the basket.  If you throw backhand the disc is out over the water for about 95 percent of the time.

On Sundays the AMs play in the morning and the pros play in the afternoon.  Not everyone sticks around to watch the pros, but there usually is a pretty good crowd that sticks around.  And the majority of those that stick around go down to the lake and check out hole number 24. 

Again, I didn't see it, as I was spotting on the other side of the resort.  But I did hear the biggest roar that I have ever heard on a disc golf course.  Jon Drummond aced hole #24 with about 150 people watching.  I heard when he went to get his disc the crowd lined up along the shore and he high fived everyone.  I would have liked to have seen the shot, but just to hear the roar was pretty exciting.

Jon did not get into the ace pool....

Nice Ace and near Ace. However, you might be lonely on Halloween unless you hit the chains at Fairfield.

Thanks!- That,s right its at fairfeild! I'd love to get an ace there! I'll go there tomorrow to practice!

I couldn't make this up if I tried.

About 6 weeks ago, I got a call from a guy who'd found a Ch Sidewinder of mine while playing. I thought it was maybe the SW I'd left on the ground @ Parkside while practicing for Prairie Open. Turns out it was *another* SW I'd just bought as a replacement, and I'd left on the ground at Lombard the day before he called. I hadn't even realized I'd left it there (lots of brain cramps this season.)

Turns out he lives right by Jericho in Aurora and said he'd hang onto it for me. Made arrangements to pick it up at his house today after a round w/ Barish and Mukey. Halfway up the fairway on #6 a car pulls up. It's "Dan" with my disc!!

After profuse appreciation is extended, we continue on w/ our round. We come up to #10 (shorts) and I decide to pull it out for the first time.

David called it about halfway out. Ace. 210-220 or so, I guess, there's no pole there at the moment.

It almost got even better as on the next hole David got metal and Mukey went right over the top.

I may not throw that disc again, but I sure won't leave it on the ground again! I put it in the car for the 2nd round, and the 'replacement' almost went in on #5....

I like Sidewinders.

Twice this month.

March 6, 2010. Kensington Black Locust. Hole 5 (Old Kensington Tunnel F). About 225 feet. Cryztal Buzzz with Forest City Frenzy hot stamp.  Kira and Diana witnessed it.

March 31, 2010. Holly State Recreation Area. Hole 23 (Old 17). About 225 feet. Cryztal Buzzz with Forest City Frenzy hot stamp.  Kelsey, Kira, Diana and Sara witnessed it. 

The first one was a good throw. It was settling and would have only been ten or 15 feet past.  The second was a horrible throw.  It was hyzering in hot and would have skipped big like Kira's drive, except it hit chains and the post.
