The ADGA and their HUGE Ace Pots

[cgflesner]

Is it going to rain ton?

[dryhistory]

that would be a 50/50 chance, it might sprinkle or lightly shower, or it could lightning and hail, weather.com can't make up its mind.

will be there :D



I almost choked on my own spit when i saw C & C! :D

[dryhistory]

thats not spit you were choking on :ogurgle gurgle

[crusher]

He never responded to my e-mail. Can you try and contact him and give him my address please?

I like it, can't wait to ink it on the left shoulder!

[my_hero]

I'll contact him and give him your 411 Craig.

Brenner, Did you take any strokes yesterday for a disc being higher than 2m above the playing surface? I took a circle 5 on hole #1 and Claydog reversed the circle and gave me a 4 b/c you refused to take strokes b/c it wasn't mentioned in the players meeting. :D

[my_hero]

Also, Greg brought up a GREAT point. We should only cancel our ace pot when the nearby event is sanctioned. That my friends is the TRUTH and is worth chewing on. Yesterday's ace should not have been canceled for 18 teams playing in a nonsanctioned event.

[sandalman]

no i did not take it. sorry fellas, but if we are playing by pdga rules of play, the TDs need to call it or it aint in effect. if we are playing by local rules, then i should have taken the stroke based on unwritten rules :D Cedar Hill is playing safe unless called also; we might not like the change, but thats the cards the association dealt.

were you within 10M of the pin for your stroke?

I agree. If we are playing by PDGA rules then the TD must call it EVERY week. If he/she fails, then 2m above the surface is safe.

The bold text is irrelevent under current PDGA rules but for the sake of answering it......YES, i was inside of 10m AND missed the putt. :D

[my_hero]

Oh, i guess i should <font color="red"> THANK YOU </font> for not taking your strokes b/c when ClayDoggyDog reversed my stroke it placed me in a tie for 1st. :D

[sandalman]

aha, haha, heeheehaaw... if i was TD you woulda been OB cuz its inse the circe. except that i always forget to call that stuff. good thing too, cuz yesterday i blew my drive on 8 and ended up over by the trees you try to clear off of Champ pad :) :) :) definitely over the sidewalk.

(did i tell you about being over the sidewalk on my SECOND shot on hole three last week? freakin Doctor Greg TD has the over the sidwalk is out on also

[dryhistory]

i listened to some vet type pros yesterday griping hardcore about 2m in the circle rule....i dont really have an opinion, but they acted like it was the stupidest thing they have ever heard of, "we meseaure 2m up then 30m out, come on just call 2m or dont!" i edited the obscenities, neither of them were aware (as i was) the noble genius behind this ruling, and if they did it may have tempered their hardness towards the idea, i dont know. but it was mighty entertaining :D

[my_hero]

Those that know me well know that i'll play by any rules. Just let me know the rules of the game before i play.

[sandalman]

so why is 2M inside the circle not good but 2M all over is OK? just cuz they dont know how to pace off 10M??? :)

after i took a 2M stroke on Champ 5, i decided 2M on the fairway is BS. it is frequently random luck, especially when its a blind shot.

<font color="red"> I think you are talking to Teague about his post(found below)...... Like i said, i'll play by any rule. I especially like topless rules.

[dryhistory]

i will not play topless, for the benefit of others, but i think the moral of the story is that top pros are sniviling little babies who should get paid out in ridicule :D

[cgflesner]

Who were the top pros that were crying?

I do think that it is kinda a stupid idea though. So you have to measure 2m up and 30' out. I have to tell you that most people don't know how far 30' really is. If you are stuck in a tree you deserve to recieve a 1 stroke pen.

i will never tell! unless it would make some laugh :D

[sandalman]

you have to measure 10M out anyway for falling putts. besides you dont need to measure all your shots - just the ones hanging in trees close to the pin.

[cgflesner]

Only you and rec players call falling putts. I would have to stroke Ben Renyolds every time he putted inside 30'.

[sandalman]

:)

i've never called a falling putt. i think that rule should be gone.

[baldguy]

it's closer to 33', not 30'. 32.8084 feet, to be exact. 10m != 30ft.

Only you and rec players call falling putts. I would have to stroke Ben Renyolds every time he putted inside 30'.



Inside 10' for that matter

[cgflesner]

Just like an Am to break out the rule book. :p And Lee that is no joke. I saw a 5' jump putt during drunk doubles at z-boaz. The entire card just cracked up.

rofl!!!!
Sounds like Ben.....

[dryhistory]

thats not a jump/falling putt, its a stutter step, it's a disability protected by the us goverment against discrimination and you should not make fun of it :mad:

[sandalman]

wow, he finally said something actually funny!

[gotcha]

So I return home from playing Tuesday night doubles at Knob Hill and my wife asks if anyone hit the ace pot. I told her "no" and that next week's pot will be over $600, the largest ace pot in Pittsburgh's disc golf history. Her response was hilarious...."Wow! That's like a little Veterans...." :D

[my_hero]

Mrs. Gooch knows!

Okay Willie, we all know how close you and Jerry were, but we also know that Marie is the hot one. :cool:

[arlskipshot1]

Hammer time!!!!!!!!!!!

Lil Greggy K. comes to play in one mini a year, pays a grand total of $2 for the year into the ace pot, and sure enough turns his investment into $568 with an ace on #15 this morning. It couldn't have happened to a more ---------- guy ( fill in your own adjective ) but it could've happened to a more obnoxious one, Randy. We miss you too :o

Way to kill'em Killiam

[my_hero]

Spike Hyzer over the top.
Disc thrown: RAM! :D

He also took a 10+ year old ace dollar away from me that Troy Anderson, Greg, and myself trade and sign when we see one another ace. I'm still in disbelief!

[sandalman]

believe it, my xhero. the killa was in town!

hahaha, less than 12 hours after retching violently in my driveway, greggo knocks it down. and it was solid. sliced thru an outer twig on the way up like it was butter. yes, it had a ram stamp, but it homed in so tight there was no doubt possible that it would stick... a rumor was heard that is was a DevilHawk with street trimmings. who knows, seeings how The Killa's left nad was still throbbing from the drilling gary gave it two holes earlier.

dat was sweet! always glad to see ya Greg !

[killamgreg]

I love you guys. Thanks to Pepper for hosting, Skip for running it, Hero for showing me the line, Gary for hitting my left testicle, and Pat for the Saturday night entertainment. Great to see all of you again. I look forward to next time hopefully with Wimp in tow.

THAT was some serious WIND! It's always fun to play in conditions like that. Glad i was on the card to see Greggles birdie 17(long) and 18(long)for his first time ever. Too bad i was there for his play on 7(left) and 13(short) though. :eek: :DFun times.

[crusher]

Is the ace pot going to be up for grabs on the 28th?

Just curious due to the event in Carrolton.

[arlskipshot1]

What a great way to start the new year. It's cold and windy and no one can hold onto their disc the plastic's so hard. Thirty nine people playing, though, and only seven break 60. The good Doc wasn't one of them but he still walked away as the biggest winner on the day after acing #15 and pocketing $500 shemolians. If I were to pick the one person who deserved it (other than me) it would have to be Greg. Way to go!!!!!!!!

[my_hero]

Shhhhhh Skipper! He told his wife it was only $100. Which wasn't too bad of a lie after paying off his splits on the card, AND paying $5 to each of the 42 branches it hit on the way!

It still paid the same, no matter how it got in the bucket.

[my_hero]

The end result was a perfect shot, that's for sure. Who cares how it got there? I just didn't want Skipper to get you in trouble with the Mrs. I do just wish you would have said two words while the disc was flying....errrr bouncing around. I can't say one of them here without being probed but the two word saying starts with "OH" and ends with a synonym of "Fecal Matter!" THOSE are the best aces. Congrats my friend, you truly are My_Hero! ;)

[arlskipshot1]

That's the first I've heard about the actual shot.
42 branches AND fecal matter....he should give the remainder of the money back.



That's hilarious ;)

[DGBAMA92]

Well the Ace's are still swarming the Vet. Sunday's hit two weeks in a row.

And Now?

It was the Denny O' show.

Fist hole #18 Off the top of the hill - SILENT it was because I was on hole #3 and heard nothing. So he took home $58 because it was hit before Christmas.

Then he Took 1st place over Clayton by one stroke.

Good Job Denny!!!

See everyone next week....

[30889]

Nice job Charles ( #4 short ) and Dalton ( #14 short ) on your ACES last night. Way to bring home the BIG BUCKS!!!

[my_hero]

Sweet news! I was unaware that Charles could reach #4 from the short pad but obviously he can. :p

[DGBAMA92]

Correction.. Phillip must of been Drunk last night -Taking Chuckles place in that category 'cause I was drinking all of Chucles Beer... :eek: :D

Chuckles hit #9. Jerry said "ONE TIME" and Boom! He gets $44. Thats until we are on #11 and Dalton Spanks #14. Chuckles had to plit it... :mad::confused: ;) :D

Good time last night!

[my_hero]

Correction... Chuckles hit #9.



Shenanigans! I know y'all are full of it now. There's NO WAY he can reach #9 from the short pad to the long bucket. Pfffft!

You know, John, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe his sweetie was hiding in the dark (something he's known to do) and caught the disc mid flight and did a basketball dunk on the basket. That's my theory anyway. He tried to buy us off with a split, but then that brat Seabolt hits #14 while we're walking onto #11's box and cuts my share in half. We just told him to keep it. Something about Subway vs. Wendy's for lunch I dunno......anyway that's 6 aces in the last month at Veterans Park. Remarkable !!!!!!!!

[smokingun1]

Just goes to show you that this is the year of the Permanently Tanned. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!! :cool:

My kids say i'm brown, so i guess i'm okay with that statement.

[gregbrowning]

Congratulations to Jimmy Mahon for taking down the $750 ace pot on hole 5 this morning!

[seewhere]

"that's 6 aces in the last month at Veterans Park" hmm sounds like a pitch and putt or a course re-design is in order...:eek::D:p

[DGBAMA92]

Nope - Alot of good players in DFW.

Hole #5 is no gimme!!!!

Jerry Seabolt chained in and out on Hole #11 at Z-Boaz = Almost took home $900 +....

[woote01]

Jerry's rich!! never mind it spasled out!!!!!!!!!
You guy's can try again !!!!!!

[arlskipshot1]

I filled in for Greg yerterday and had to pay off the $404 ace pot to Ben Reynolds who hit #9 and had just re-upped minutes before. He was on the card with Geesa and another guy we hadn't seen in awhile, Russ DeWolfe. Russ chose not to re-up when he signed up and didn't get to split the money with Ben after he hit an ace on his last hole #5. Two aces on the same threesome card. A rarity indeed. Congrats to both.

[gregbrowning]

Not so huge, but the ace pot got taken down again this week. Congrats to Terry Toolen for his ace on hole 15 which earned him $62.

[awbailey72]

Lots of ACES going down lately.....Josh Mac hits hole 13 Wednesday night for about $300..Congrats Josh!

[my_hero]

I say nu-cle-ar, George W Bush says Nu-cular, Discraft simply says Nuke.

[ericb45696]

rhymes with "puke " :)

[gotcha]

or with "duke" :)

[gregbrowning]

Well, it's been ages since a Sunday ace at the Vet. The ace pot is currently at $750 with $286 in the backup. The main ace pot is capped at $750 until we get $500 in the backup, and $250 in a second backup. At the current pace we are at with respect to mini attendance, this could happen by late October or perhaps even earlier if the heat dies down and the minis get back up to 50-60 players.

[gotcha]

What's been the average attendance this summer?

[gregbrowning]

What's been the average attendance this summer?

About 40-50 for most of the summer. Over the last few weeks when the temps have been over 100, it has dwindled to about 30.
