It's really a matter of respect

I was playing with a small group the other day. I drove and it skipped hit the chains and popped out. We were all almost completely amazed but one guy said he wouldn't respect one the skipped in.

So my question is would you respect a throw that skipped in for the ace?

Absolutely.
And I would have reminded that guy that nobody asked.

Yes. I think a skip shot would be sicker than just sinking it in straight up. Well, maybe. Idk, but any chains, including chains off a skip, would be good. I would respect it of course, no matter how long the hole.

Lots of posts on "What is an Ace?"... but it's generally accepted that a skip ace counts as a real ace.

The number of times you throw the disc, determines your score for the hole. One throw is an ace.

Roller, Bouncer, Straight in, Deflected, Skipper, Flicker, Bomb, Beamed, whatever - however - if it's from the tee to the chains & basket....It's called an ACE.

You gonna tell Kobe just 'cause it wasn't "nuttin' but net" & it bounced off the rim before dropping in that it doesn't count?? PUULeeeeeeze! Haven't you seen the MJ/Bird McDonald's commercials? "Off the wall, through the rafters, off the floor, "nuttin' but net"!! Yeah!

He probably said that cause he's NEVER gotten an ace. Give a little applause to that guy's opinion: one that takes rubbing your pointer finger against your thumb repeatedly (the world's smallest violin).

Had a guy do that behind me & A.Mutt the other day in Ohio....we were like WOW -- So close!! We'd be doing the same for you ChronoDisc!

Disc Golf is like sex.....It doesn't matter how it goes in, as long as it goes in.
