It created a short argument about whether I deserve ace money or not, but I hit Hole 12, Classic, Justin Trails. Our league was on a road trip where the rule was 5 dollars covers the ace pool all weekend, whether it being an event round or a fun one, just as long as you were with another league member to verify and that it was an actual round (versus unloading the bag).
Only three of us had arrived at this point and we played a round to scout the course, to prepare for the official round we would be playing three hours later. Only three of us had paid in so far, but we were paid in. I proceeded to absolutely crush Hole 12 with a Z Nebula.
I do understand the argument that the ace pool was not active yet since not everyone had arrived yet, despite three of us paying in already. However, it would have been nice to collect that 105 dollar pool.
Regardless, I will take the ace. During last year's road trip I was solidly in the chains at Highbridge and could not get that to stick for 110 dollars.
