Cubby on PDGA.com

I don't think anybody cares, until it shows up on the PDGA front page.
A bad shot is one that hits the basket or chains. Not trees, not water but the metal part of the target we all throw towards.
Those are bad shots!
Yeah, I've never understood that logic either. The one real ace I have was a beauty putter throw that, had it missed, would have been about a 5-10' putt. I'll take that every time, tyvm.

Then why is this the first time he's been on PDGA for his aces but this isn't the first thread about his aces?
First thread I've been a part of regarding his "aces"...so I'll defer judgement on that one!!

Agreed. I got to hang out with Cubby a couple of times at Rutgers in 2012 and he is a great guy with a great attitude.

Good point. If the term "ace" can't be used, what do you call throwing a disc in the basket from the tee?
If I've thrown an ace on a particular hole while practicing, and later someone asks if I've aced the hole, I find myself saying "Yes, but only when practicing."
So my suggestion is "But Ace."

all due respect, ck, but there is already a term for these….they're called "Cubby aces"
I had never taken the time to watch any of his videos before this thread…2 mins of watching a sweaty guy walk back and forth just to see 15secs of discs coming from who knows where and him declaring an ace on what was clearly a second shot…meh, y'all must've been real desperate for internet videos back then.
good on him.

I get the Cubby Ace. But I'm talking about a term for a throw not during competition from any position on the fairway including the tee that goes in the target (not close enough to be a putt). Cubby Aces would be a subset of this type of throw. "Fairway Ace" is used for shots beyond putting range that go in that are not thrown from the tee. So maybe "Ace", "Cubby Ace" and "Fairway Ace" sufficiently cover all hole-outs that are not putts.
How about "Nice Shot"?

Only if it's called AFTER the shot goes in. Never in the air.

yes and no
communication between two people is hard enough when you both think you are on the same page
when you find out that you aren't even reading from the same book then communication becomes darn near impossible
in disc golf people liberally use words in ways that perhaps they don't really mean or in ways that cause others to try and extract meaning and thus lead to confusion (i'm looking at you stable, more stable, ace, par, etc)
I think a more descriptive word that tells you that it wasn't the first shot from the tee. The word or name "cubby" doesn't tell you anything about why this isn't a normal or legit ace. One of us will think of a more descriptive name for them eventually. :|

Im sure he's a great guy. I just don't agree with the pdga acting like they are all legit aces, and cubby glorifing on his vids like they are first throws. Im gonna throw drives on every hole at a course until I birdie, then tell everyone that I shot a perfect round.

Maybe that's a future story for the first player who has cumulatively played the perfect round on 100 courses having birdied every hole at least once.

Does he find courses that no one is playing or does he just have to let people play through all the time? I'd be annoyed if I lived around him and had to always play through on the short holes while he was filming and had a bag of discs all laying around the basket. I understand doing that once in a while but if that's all you do is hang out on the short hyzer holes and try to stick drivers in the chains so you can retire that disc and make a vid I'm going to get a little sick of seeing you on the course lol. Maybe I'm just a jerk.

I love how the picture for the article is him standing at hole #9 at Rutgers, which is a whopping 57 ft. lol:
In the years of me playing there, I have seen this hole aced more times then I can remember.
Seriously though, look at the hole lengths for Rutgers, which is the course he plays all the time: http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=557&mode=hi#
It's possible that he could have 500 legitimate aces playing this place all the time.
