Slightly bemused at the folks too good to count pole hits.
*Hits the pole* "Pfft, fluky occurrence not worthy of my time."
*Barely glances off chains* "Well done sir! Truly an action worthy of my admiration. Here's a dollar as a small token of my affection"
I personally wasn't thinking too good for pole hits, but they just seem so much more common and often enough sooo far from an ace. I have a grand total of 1 witnesses ace, 1 unwitnessed and 1 mulligan. Hit basket, band, chains, number plate several times and on all of those felt more unlucky to have missed the ace than feeling like it was a lucky shot. I've hit the pole a lot more than those others combined and almost never have I felt the pole hit was "almost and ace" but more like a great park job for birdie... I'm not of the school of thought as some on this board that an ace is a bad drive that luckily got stopped by the chains but, pole hits happen on such different trajectories it seems that ace possibility wasn't even there.
Though I guess the whole point is throwing dollars around for fun with people you play with so no harm, but if it were up to me to make the rules I am on the side of poles are for strippers and they get all those singles in their own way.
