First Ace

[fiveonomo]

What a feeling! Hole number 16, 195' from the white tee. I threw sidearm/flick with a Champion Beast, 172 wt. It looked like the disc was on rails, right into the chains! On top of that, I shot my personal best, 47. What a day!

[Texconsinite]

Well, im sure getting an ace does wonders for your attitude, which elevated your putting to godlike status. Congrats brosef!!!

[jedwards]

Congrats!

[magictenor1]

Good Job. Nothing like seeing that disc in the chains and that sound it makes.

[iDisc]

awesome! i currently only have 1 ace and it's an amazing feeling

[RustyP]

Congrats on your first!

Just got my 3rd a few days ago. 260'ish hole, OB fence on left, large holly bushes on right, low tree limbs off the tee, basket out of sight behind the last bush on the right of the fairway. Threw a beaten-up Roc on a slight anhyzer line right over the top of the last bush, disappeared for a second...then CHING!

[fiveonomo]

Thanks for all of the kind words! Cant wait for the next one. I love the trophy, thanks guys. Scott.

[djext1]

Now you can look forward to #2 ;)

The beauty of Photoshop :D

Congrats man!!!

I have yet to bag one yet after 4 months of playing. Hit the chains once at 300+ but bounced out. NOW I am afraid with as much as I play alone during the day that my first will be a dreaded "Canadian Girlfriend"! No one around to believe me, or see it.

[Aaron D'Angelo]

Way to go Scott! Still looking for my first but I haven't hit even 3 months yet so...... I wish it would hurry up! :)

Don't feel bad. I have been playing for over a year and still have not hit one.

[adlacro]

Try waiting over two years, playing some of the shortest holes you'll ever see, and not getting one. Don't pity me either. I'm just waiting for a big tournament or in a big group of me and my buds.

[mndiscg]

I've hit chains 3 times and the basket 2 more and havent got a hole in one. But i've only been playing seriously for this summer though so its not too bad.

[WillA]

I got two in the first year I played - back in the early 80's. Even though I am a much better player now I haven't had one since I started playing again three years ago. Go figure.

[stargator231]

yeah i had one fall out today i herd the chains on a blind hole i was thinking it fell out and my friend was pumped up that it was in but walking to the basket it was laying under it.

[fiveonomo]

ANOTHER ACE TODAY! Hole #2 at Dorey Park in VA. 4 or so years and no ace, now in the space of a few weeks I have two, man I love this game.

[discflinger]

Doubley congrats, bro! What can I say, when you're on, you're on, and you are definitely on. Go get another one. My buddy got three in less than 24 hours last week if anyone knows Dean Bear. He's got his own course up in Churubusco(sp?).

[fiveonomo]

Thanks man! Yeah, I hope I stay on! Your buddy got 3 in 24 hours, wow, that is awesome.

[gcoghill]

I hit the pole in-flight on a drive the other day at Lincoln Park (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=342) in Massillon, OH, closest I have come so far to an Ace. Just a liiiiitle higher and I woulda had it.

Hole 12:

[DeafDiscGolfer]

Ok, ummm....I'm not familiar with this course but where's the #12 basket in the picture that you just posted?

Can't find it...:confused: Is that downhill in front of the big tree?? :confused: Mark it, will ya?

Ain't interested to play "Where in the World is Basket?" games. :p

[gcoghill]

Yeah sorry, I just grabbed this from the DGCR photo page. The basket: if you go straight off the tee pad, there's a medium-size tree about 40-50 feet out with a smaller tree right in front of it, slanting left (just in front of the creek). Just to the left of the smaller tree you can see the basket, silhouetted by a far, dark tree trunk. Just slightly above and left of the center of the photo.

That was a fun course to play. My highlight was driving my Sidewinder to within 25' of the basket on #18:

[gcoghill]

Nice shot Eric! I had a similar drive on that hole earlier this summer, I didn't throw as far as you did, but got within putting distance. Although this weekend I played there and played that hole terribly :P

[maniak]

Congrats on #1 and #2! I just got my first two days ago on a straight away 240' hole with my DX Skeeter. I thought I had over shot the hole, then it hammered the chains right in the centre. What a feeling!!! I was playing alone but luckily there were people on the adjacent fairway to see it.

[fiveonomo]

Good job everyone on there nice tee shots! Making the ace is an awesome feeling.

[jdc03270]

I haven't gotten one but I came close at the Johnson State College course on hole 8. I hit chains but it didn't stay in.

[DiscChick]

was the Hole #16 Ace also at Dorey?

[sidewinding]

Got my first ace on Saturday at San Gabriel Park in Georgetown, TX. It was on the new hole #5 which is wide open 200' with a creek about 10' right of the basket. There was about a 25 mph 5 o'clock sustained tailwind which caused the first two throwers Rocs to fade left more than normal. I threw a JK Pro Aviar slightly high but straight at the basket. It never turned or faded and looked like it was going to fly past the basket but then dropped down just at the right time.

[EclipticOne]

Sweet ace sidewinding. It musta been nice to see your putter go in like that!
