Not even a cubby ace, but it was awesome

[prerube]

As many of you know, I teach disc golf at a summer school for kids with mild disabilities in DC. I made a temporary 5 hole course for the kids.
On hole 3 a boy with Cerebral Palsy whispers to me asking me to throw his drive for him.
Hole 3 is a 125ft tight tunnel shot with a single branch cutting through the most obvious flight path. I took the boys disc, then said, "look at the deer!"
Everyone looked into the woods and I threw the boy's disc. It was going way right, then it hit a tree took a 90 degree turn and landed right into the basket for the ace.
The little boy yelled, "I can't believe I threw that, I got a hole in one!"
It was pretty awesome!
Obviously I am not going to be adding it to my ace count, but it was worth sharing

best ace ever!

This should be in a subcategory of the Ace Thread Board.

you my friend, have just received +11 disc karma. You'll birdie a hole you've only ever gotten par on, you'll throw a bad shot that magically lands back in the middle of the fairway, probably find a disc or two.

Good things will come your way because of the way that little boy got to feel like he was the MAN.

Well done good sir. Helping kids is the shizzle

There is a 4th grader who is quite obese. (probably over 200lbs)
I told him I would buy him lunch if he could last 5 minutes in a game of horse with me (using putters and trick some trick shots). It came down to 4:59 He has H-O-R-S and it was my shot. I missed a 20 foot putt as the time ran out, so he won.
That afternoon I announced his name over the intercom that he won a game of disc golf against the teacher to be the only kid in the school to win a free lunch. (The 6th graders who lost to me were jealous). He now LOVES disc golf and plays it during recess every day.

A few questions:

Who got to write 1 on the scoreboard?
Did you sign the disc?
Did you retire the disc?
Was the tree OK?

"Mr. Prerube! Mr. Prerube! Will you take my test for me?"

 

[Vegan Ray]

I would rather have a CP sufferer drive for me than have prerube do it.

Good works, man; if it was on video, it'd probably make me cry. I'll but you a beer a the Meet (if not sooner).

My students have trouble keeping score, so we only keep score hole to hole.
No one signed the disc, it was used again the next period

The fact he plays at recess and might be a little addict is the coolest thing to me, but making him feel like the man was also cool. I was the fat kid of my class, well 1 of them. I played football and was actually athletic, but all fat kids catch hell sometimes. Self confidence is hard to come by when you are used to thinking like a fat person, so you def made his month.:hfive:

He gets picked on a lot. He is one of the only white kids in the school, he is very obese, has social issues and a speech impediment, but when he comes to my class, He is "the man". Too bad I only have him for one more week.

 

[shinypickle]

You are doing a great thing for those kids perube. Keep up the good work.

 

[skinner21]

the ace story put a big fat smile on my face. That would have been awesome to see.

 

[podunk pete]
