Hey guys Im pretty new to disc golf... I just wanted to make sure I am understanding everything... when you say hitting metal that means "hitting the pole or some part of the basket but it just didnt go in" right? and a bag empty ace means you threw a lot of discs on the same hole and got an ace eventually? Is that right? If so I think it should count for something.

Some people count them, some don't.
Metal means hitting anything on the basket, but the disc doesn't stick in the basket or the chains (e.g. a legit catch).
Emptying your bag or hitting an ace on a mulligan is a called a Cubby Ace. Do a search on Cubby Ace and you'll get way more info that you bargained for
Regardless, it's fairly universally accepted that Cubby Aces are just another talking point, but nothing legit.

Was that the one on with the basket in the rowboat during a hurricane?

i've only got two in 10 years, and one was this year and only 180 feet :| plus no witnesses to that short one so i don't count it usually. but it did go in...just a very easy hole, a light turnover shot with no obstacles
my first ace was in like 20+ mph winds, with a sidewinder :\ it was the old 15 at Rogers Lakewood. pumped up and down in the wind about +/- 30 feet a bunch of times then...CHINGGGGG

It's been three years and some change and I'm still waiting. I hit metal today on a 264.

7 months in I got my first one, although it was total luck. Since then, I appear to be on the one a year plan.

would you rather hit metal, or be left with a 25 footer?

Thanks for the info... I have only been playing for a month. I have hit metal once (it was on the shortest hole at my local course). It was actually the first time I ever birdied, if it had gone in I would have gotten my first hole in one before I ever got a birdie.
Months?
I am going on years
About 3 months.....

232 months since I started playing as a teenager. Sweet Relish! Has it really been that long? Ace coming soon, will report back. :thmbup:
My aces are in my sig. I started playing in June of last year. The second one was in my first tournament.
So for those of you that don't want to do the math, that's 5 months playing before my first ace. Then another 3 months before my first in a tournament. Haven't hit one since, but that doesn't bother me.

Took me a few years and I still only have one. I know a guy who has played for 3 years and has 25 aces. He is a freak of nature and I want to kill him.

Senor' Bond,
You must be a terrible disc golfer. :gross: Would you please try a little harder.
