The Aceman Cometh

[stpitner]

My first ace!  But uhm... do I really want to take credit for it? lol.  I set up a temp course for the kids today, and I finished setting up early so I decided to play a round.  I SHOULD have shot a -13 for 13 hole course, but I par'd 2 holes, 10 birdies, and 1 ACE for a -12.  Now, the reason why I wouldn't really want to take credit for it?  The hole was only 60 feet   All of the holes were between 50 and 90 feet long, and it was almost too long with the Frisbees these kids were given to throw today!  Ah well

The ace was on hole #7 with Aaron Scott's M-14 basket.  I threw my Gateway Wizard to nail the ace.

Hit #4 at Willow Stream today from the concrete tee with a S JLS.

Got #7 today at Willow Stream again. Threw a KC Pro Roc anhyzer over the path and it flattened out right into the basket.

[Dan Michler]

nice shot roman.  why couldn't u have aced it in leagues last week?   

[DiscGolfSchodt]

How much is in the ace Fund @ B.G. now?

[roman]

I think the ace fund was up to $42 this past Monday.

Dan, I play best when I'm relaxed. There's no relaxing in doubles with people counting on you to make a throw

Kelsey got her first sanctioned tournament ace in Alabama on Saturday.  I heard it but did not see it.  150 T-Bird on a 200 foot hole.  Not sure why she did not throw the Buzzz.  She bought dinner with part of the ace pool money, so I'm glad she threw the T-Bird.

I just got my 41st ace hole 15 on the blue course at lemon lake 345 feet

Kelsey aced #7 at Holly Woods tonight.  It is a 250 foot slightly uphill hyzer hole.  She landed 20 feet short of the basket and aced it on a skip.  Afterwards we worked on weeding stickers for dying discs while we sat in the parking lot.  We had one customer after another.  We then spent some of the profits at Frosty Boy.  On the way home we stopped to look at the new Saturn sports car. 

All the time, where ever I am, I pick up trash and throw it out.  A scrap of paper blew across the parking lot and wrapped itself on the toe of my shoe.  I bent over and picked it up.  Never having seen one of these before, at first I didn't know what it was.  It was a ten-play ticket for tonight's Mega Millions drawing.  How weird is that?  If I win the big prize, we'll give away a Saturn at the Illinois Open. 

Update:  Does not look like I won anything other than maybe a buck.  The Fates tease.

Hit hole F yesterday on Hudson Mills Monster longs during the tourney. Too bad I had to split the ace pool with someone, but $135 is still money in my pocket! 330 feet turnover with a champ sidewinder.

[Bruce Brakel]

I aced #3 Short-short at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Sunday.  It was not that much of an ace, a 154 foot line drive in the woods.  You pretty much had to throw a line drive to get near the basket.  There was a big rock before the basket so you had to get over it to get close.  Soft Banger.  I won $1 and a Floppy Flyer for it, too.   

The ace was part of a run where I birdied seven of the last nine holes and shot an unofficial 1011 rated round.  Don't wake me up yet.

That's a good ace.  If you overshoot that to the right, you could get a bogie trying to get out of that schule. 

[tacimala]

Thanks, yea it was pretty much the perfect shot (obviously since it went in) but if you look at my round ratings for the tourney, you can see why I was running everything round 2.

u beat Joe Mela for that round.  However he still edged you by 30 shots for the tourney.

[Bruce Brakel]

Yeah, that's the difference between one 1000 rated round and four of them!      

[Fox Metro Discer]

Hit #7 at Jericho tonite while warming up for league (of course not during where there is money on the line). Took a line drive down the left side of the fairway below the tree line and it skipped right in.

Hey Bruce, what did you think of the Indiana course?  Did you get a chance to play any of the other awesome courses near Pittsburgh?  (Moraine, Knob Hill, or Deer Lakes)  Probably my three favorite courses right there.  I haven't yet had a chance to play the Indiana course but I hear great things.  I got down to Peoria this past weekend and played McNaughton for the first time.  After playing the courses out east it just doesn't compare .  That's what we get in the Midwest I guess.  I do look forward to seeing whether you can post any 1000 rated rounds at the IOS this year. :-D

[Bruce Brakel]

Nice ace, Fox Metro!

Aced Hole #9 from the short tee at UW-Parkside yesterday with an Aviar.

I think the hole is about 215'. I had been playing the long tees up until this hole. There were two guys playing behind me that were throwing on me the previous two holes so I thought I would move ahead of them by playing the short tee and moving on into the woods. Grabbed the disc, did a quick two step approach and let it go.
Starting to figure this game out: Don't Think. Just Throw!
