I hit hole 17 at Tower Ridge 2 last weekend. Blind uphill hyzer ~150ft with a 112g Wizard. Love those light Wizards when there's no wind!

Hole #3 - Red Fox (Silver Lake) - DX Roc

Short (200?) downhilll blind shot.

Since it's the 9-holer up there, you could probably call it half-aced.

Congrats, Damon!   

I got #11 at Addison Oaks today, a 258 foot turnover shot with a Meteor.  It was blind from the tee but Diana was spotting, so she saw it.

Diana aced Baycourt #1 Short today, about 230 feet, with a 130 TeeDevil.  She through a nice S drive that hyzered back and <<ONE TIME!!!>> aced.  That was me yelling "One time" right before the ace.    

In Brakel Family disc golf a hole in one qualifies everyone for

So Bruce just reminded me of a question I've been wanting to ask, what the heck does "one time" even mean?

So Bruce just reminded me of a question I've been wanting to ask, what the heck does "one time" even mean?

I believe it is a derivative from the slang term for police. A person would say "one time" which would mean "I've seen the police so no one else look." Because more than one person looking would attract attention. Then it just became something to say when you're the first to see something.

I always thought of it as meaning, "get lucky"  I often hear myself saying it on a long jump putt.  one time, cause it usually dont go in.

I have a feeling that's why it has caught on. But it means whatever people think it means. Often a term or phrase changes meaning as it gets popular. For instance "Starr par" was used in leagues at Starr park to mean everyone got a 2 on the card. Reasoning was that Starr park was an old course designed for Frisbees so a 2 was the expected score or "par". Those players started using the term at other leagues and tournaments when everyone carded a two. Star par rhymes and caught on and used even by players who had never heard of the course. As the years went by the course was removed and the popularity of the term grew beyond its origins and the meaning changed to everyone carded an actual par of 3.

At the Tobbogan, when everyone gets a 4 on a par four hole Isay, "Scar par?"

Hole 13 Long at The Ponds of Lakeshore.  310 feet.  ESP Surge.  $110 ace pool.

Hole 13 is 300 feet over o.b. but only about 270 feet to clear the pond.  To be in bounds you have to be over the rock wall on the far side, which today was 30 feet past the water's edge.  I was mainly just trying to be well over the wall with a comeback putt for birdie.  The chains stopped that plan at 1.

Kelsey Brakel.  Hole 8 Short, Rolling Hills.  About 200 feet.  ESP Meteor.  $54 Ace Pool.

Hole 8 is a little blind turn over shot down a narrow tunnel.  Kelsey went on to post a win in MA2. 

Normally Kelsey and I are both a little nonchalant about ace pools.  This weekend we both felt overdue and that it was really important to get in.

No ace for me, but I saw Kenny G hit a nice ace on Saturday on hole #5 at Bevier. A big hyzer over the top of the trees.

My buddy Trevor has hit dust underneith 5 before doing the same shot, it looked AWESOME as it came down... cant imagine seeing a shot like that actually go in.  Good job Kenny!

2nd  Ace ever last night!

Hole #1 at Warren -  Forehanded my Discraft Crush. Bam.

[CEValkyrie]

I saw the pic on facebook. Congrats!!!

I don't ace that often but I happened to get one yesterday and another one today so I'm pretty excited.

Yesterday I hit hole 1 at Winthrop Gold with a freshly bought Eagle on a skip shot. Just purchased it at the pro shop and went out to throw hole 1 to see how it flew.

Today I hit hole 11 at Nevin with a Roc on the fly. Blind basket. I heard lots of chains and ran up hoping it stuck, and it did.

Sweet Roman! Funny story about hole 11 at Nevin - during worlds, I threw a shot with a red Leopard that went in a little early and crashed into the brush. A white disc rolled out. Haven't seen that before!

[Clonan]

Sweet ace story Romon! I bet the test drive made you feel good about the purchase.

Interesting Ace story from yesterday.

I aced Hole 2 at Red Fox, right hand-forehand with a friends Flick.  First blind ace for me, I followed standard procedure of giddily running over the hill while praying that it stuck.

Later in the day after returning the Ace disc to the friend whom i borrowed it from, he used it on Hole 5 Grey fox and got a left hand-Forehand Skip Ace!!

Same disc, same day,  2 people, 2 aces.
