Sweet Mirth! 

One of these days I will be able to post one...I've hit basket a couple times this year but no ACE yet 

Honorable mention: My most recent was at glow league and I almost got a skip ace.  I wanted it sooo bad too because we had about 15-20 glowstics on this one basket and it was lit up like a christmas tree.  Would have exploded and looked awesome

I'm still looking for a lefty ace.  I take half my drives lefty, except at tournaments, and get plenty of birdies.  Kira got an ace at league the other day.

I hit the top of the chain assembly on the basket for hole #7 at Lippold (Crystal Lake) on Sunday.  So frustrating to come so close yet have it stung backwards.  Thankfully finished with an easy birdie.  It was the first time I had tried going with the Sidewinder on a slight anny route (lefty) instead of my jumbo hyzer route that goes around the gap instead of through it.  Guess I'll be throwing that more often now

Hit #8 at Valparaiso from the short tee on Friday.

Kinda funny as my brother hit a fairway ace on #4 and I said the only way that shot would be beat was by an ace...

[Chainmeister]

Way to hit it Chris.  Was your brother buying Friday night?

[Mukey]

Nah, but he drove out there so I couldn't complain. For me a season isn't complete without at least 1 trip to Valpo. Biggest hill I've thrown off of yet.

[tacimala]

How tall is the hill and how long is that hole? I've not played out there before.

[Mukey]

I'll have to check my pics from a few years ago, but I believe the hole is 450-550' and the hill is probably West Park's #2 X4.

To give you an idea, they have rope-rails there that they have to help people get up the hill for sledding in the winter.

[tacimala]

Hmmm I guess playing West Park would help too! So do you throw a midrange then and let the hill do the work? I like holes like that. Timber Ridge in Kalamazoo, MI has a lot like that since it's built on a ski slope and the course I played (and wrote about in the courses forum) has one hill like that. Just short of 400 and I overthrew the basket with a super roc.

[stpitner]

I came extremely close once again to my first ace today.  I chained out on hole #4 at Oak Brook, not an easy achievement for a lefty!  It was just a hair too far to the left, otherwise it could have hit the pole and dropped in.

[Bruce Brakel]

If you read my other post today ...

And I aced the third hole I played in the morning, # 18, a blind, down-the-hill, righty hyzer shot.  I did not hear the chains.  I was looking for my disc and the intermediate in my mixed group said, "Dude, it's in the basket."  It was kind of wedged in the bottom of the basket like maybe it never hit any chains but just spiked into the gap in the spokes and stuck there. 

[stpitner]

yup Bruce, it looks like you may have the first DISContinuum ace of the year.  I know Sergio hit one on the 14th at Bevier leagues, but you take top honors.
