The Aceman Cometh

[DiscGolfSchodt]

No the new course on aptakistik and BG rd. (Twin Creeks)

[Bruce Brakel]

I have been hoping to get a lefty ace for some time.  On balanced short courses, like Vienna Park this Saturday, I take a lot of lefty drives.  For the day I was -3 lefty and -4 righty.  But no aces.

Today we went out to play Kensington.  After a few holes Kelsey was having pain in her side.  She had had the same pain Wednesday.  It is some kind of throwing injury.  So she suggested we could go home, get lefty discs, and play Squirrel. 

So the first round at Squirrel I was playing righty trying to tie Jon's record of ten under for nine holes, until we came to basket 8 which is now stolen basket 8.  Second round I played Kelsey lefty vs lefty.  She aced hole 4.  Hole 4 is only about 70 feet, but it was lefty.

nice!

Hit hole 10 at Lippold yesterday.  It was an ugly ace.

[stpitner]

maaaan, I came so close to hitting 10 yesterday too.  I had a great line but it was just short.  It at least stuck in the ground to give me the easy putt.  I lost sight of it right at the end of because of a tree, but I thought I actually had a chance!

nice job

Hole 6 in St. Charles with a discraft flick. Atowndoug saw me blow through the chains on the same hole, with the same disc, two rounds later.

I was out at Parkside today and there were a couple of guys hanging out on #17 - which is super-short at the moment - each with a stack of a dozen or so discs, firing away for as many aces as they could manage. They wrote down at least one on the 'big board'. Amusing or a little pathetic, you choose.

Tee to basket is an ace. It is pretty weak though.

hit #17 at the new river oaks course in cal city on friday, around 2pm.  only witness was a ball-golfing buddy, who gave me his own interpretation of a standing ovation.  not sure of the distance, since the scorecards and plastic hadn't been delivered to the pro shop yet.  a 175g glow Homie starfire,  i believe it skipped out of the bunker into the chains.  maybe the first ace at this course?

[Dan Michler]

thats a sweet ace!

New hole #8 at Warren in Gurnee.The cement around the basket was still wet so I think its probably the first.

[Brian]

#10 at Round Lake with a Leopard on Saturday.

[Mukey]

#2 at West Park in Joliet today with a Pumpkin Roc

[Jon Brakel]

Sweet!

I've long wondered if I'd ever get to post to this thread.

Hit #7 from Red/White tees at Mokena during the IL State Championships.  It was also a 50/50 CTP.  Three other aces were hit that day, but I still walked away with $63.  Picked a good time to hit my first ace.

Hit #12 today at Mokena from the whites.

Then I went to the players meeting and started the tournament a half hour later.

[J.R.]

Isn't that the one up on the rail road ties in the trees?  That's a sweet ace.  Should have saved it for 30 min, but still an amazing shot.

[tacimala]

Nope that's 13. I hit 12, the short one before it. Still an ace and a good shot, but yes I would have enjoyed doing it during the round!

[CEValkyrie]

I was able to witness an ace by Tom McManus on hole #10 at Manitowalk on Friday night. He then aced hole #4 the next day during the tournament for $87. He almost made it 3 days in a row by nailing the bin at Mokena Sunday. Nice work Tom!

[tacimala]

Tom did win the pie toss, so that's pretty close!
