Recently, I have been on the Ace Hunt. At a small tourney in Senioa, Ga, I hit chains on a sidearm skip ( M1) on my very first throw of the day. Nothing else seemed to come close after that. That would have been for money. A few days later, at my "home" course, I threw the same disc, on a forehand, and hit chains for an ace. It was neat as I had never aced that hole before but I was a little salty that just two days later I hit it.
The next weekend I was playing doubles at McCurry Park in Fayetteville, Ga. The Ace Fund is up to about $370. I was on the same card as Pro Kevin McCoy. I watched him throw a fantastic shot on hole #4, missing by about six feet too long (hole 4 is a long downhill shot so it looked just perfect). We get to hole #10 and he throws another beautiful shot, missing off a skip by probably 6 ft. again. I step up, throw my drive and stand as tensed as my body would allow. My D1 never left the line meant for the chains. It hit just a smidge left of the pole, floated in the chains and spat out. Talk about excitement. Then, after all joke were made, I went home to my "home" course and played the next day. Again, the same hole, with my D3, on a different forehand line, I hit the Ace.
To make this even worse, less than a month before all of this "hit-an-ace-after-you-chain-out-for-money" silliness, I hit chains and spat out at a different round of McCurry Dubs. We had set up temp baskets to make a few of the par 4's into extra par 3s. I hit the chains on a bit sweeping hyzer and it spat out... and I didn't even grab the CTP. I can't complain about aces or spit outs, but man do I want to.
