The Aceman Cometh

[Mukey]

I believe I've used all my aces up for the next ten years.  I got two in one round at Fairfield during the final day of the IOS.  Holes 7 & 13, both blind shots.  The first one I couldn't believe it, it was our second hole of the first round.  6 holes later SLAM.  I don't know the odds of that happening, but my last ace was about 5 years ago.  I think my odds of getting another for a while is slim to none. Hopefully I'm wrong.  They were also my first tournament aces ever.  All of my others (4) have come in casual rounds with friends.  Took $88 from the ace pool. (one other was hit.  hole 15 blind as well.)

Nice Kyle! Good to see the course work karma actually working! 2 in one round? Awesome!!!

We played four rounds at Squirrel today trying to break Jon's record.  I hit metal seven times.  I had 35 twos and one ace, so I tied it anyway, and was shooting for the tie or the win every time on the 9th hole. 

Hole 4.  70 feet.  Soft Magnet.

Hole 3, short, Richmond Hills, Geneseo.

Hole 3, short, Richmond Hills, Geneseo.

Nice shot, Kurt! I kinda forget the numbering @ Geneseo since they (I think permanently) took out the short #2 alongside the barn. Is #3 the downhill to the right shot now?

Didn't know you were doing a QC tour this weekend. My son, nephew & I played Prospect in Moline Friday morning. Managed to avoid any birds this time...

#6 (I think) had a large downed tree almost completely covering the basket - I wonder if that's been there since that storm last summer....

[treeMD]

Yeah that tree around 6s basket has been there since that storm this past summer.  the tree fell all around the basket but there seems to be no damage to the basket itself.  i think its actually fun to try and put through all the limbs to the basket.  18s basket actually came out of the ground there and was just put back in about a month ago.

Is #3 the downhill to the right shot now?

This is the first time we played Geneseo, and the early hole numbering is a little messed up, I think.  We played #2 from a spray painted tee, marked on the asphalt by the barn to a wheelie basket strapped to a stump.  We played #3 from a concrete pad perpendicular to the asphalt out (west) to a basket marked #2 that was 240' out.  Does it still count? 

We all took the day off Friday.  My wife went downtown (shudder), and my youngest had other plans, so my oldest and I made an impromptu trip west.  It worked out well.  Great day to play, as you know!

that sounds like the original #3 before they took out #2, which apparently they've put back, sort of. Teepad next to a little gazebo, unless that's gone too. That big tree guarding the basket would make a pretty impressive ace... unless *that* tree is gone too.

I should've taken a pic of #6 at Prospect. It's pretty amazing that the basket seems intact!

Congrats, Kurt!  Sounds like a fun time!

For the first time ever, Diana was throwing on hole 9 to tie Jon's course record at Squirrel today.  She missed the ace and took a 2.  Earlier in the round she aced #4 with a Wizard.

Hit my 13th, June 13th at the 25th Circus City Open. Hole #8 246 feet, with a Roc ( of course, 6 of 13 with Rocs ) Came in the 2nd round, which was the 1 STROKE I won the tournament by. I led after round 1, -15 to -14. The guy who shot -14, birdied the first 6 holes in round 2, to my lame 2. After the ACE I was only at -4. After 18, he led -11 to -8, but the 7 alternates ( yes 25 holes, marked the 25th anniversary) I got all 7, he only managed 4. What a GREAT day  , then win, and split the ACE FUND($160.00) 4 ways.

I don't really count Squirrel aces when I'm remembering my aces.  If you asked me, I'd say the Harbin Rat was my last ace.  Still, I think I'll remember three in a round for a bit:

Wow. An ace is an ace either way, and 3 in a single round is something to always look back and smile on. Well done.

I think I held that Squirrel course record for well over 10 years. Congratulations! I still have the course record with no threes! 

[Bruce Brakel]

I think you held the record for about 15 years.  And it not like I wasn't trying to break your record all those years.  It just comes down to making 2 putts out of 8 from 60 to 150 feet away and not three putting!

Wow congrats. I am still waiting for my first ace. How long had you been playing before you got it today. Like years experience.

I really started playing July 4th 2007 with my dad while we were waiting for the fireworks to start.

I had thrown a disc a few times before that, but never thought much of it.

I wonder what it would be like to play during the fireworks.

Finally got the one I have been wanting for years this morning. #18 out at Eagle Ridge at bag tags this morning. Last throw of the round. Nuthin but sweet spot and a nice payday of $146. First ace that paid out anything. After the round our club president, Blaine aced hole #1 on a CTP shot. 2 aces in about a 10 minute span! Awesome!
