I had an AWESOME Easter! I played my first round of the year at Winter Park with my 6 year old daughter while my wife and older daughter were running the trails. They were finishing up and called me to see where I was. I was coming up on Hole 9F and said I'd wait for them at the tee. They didn't come out to the tee and were waiting by the pin (alternate location in the woods right now). So, I decide to tee off and put a huge hyzer on my FLX Drone to slice in between all those trees. To make it even more pronounced the wind was howling off the ski hill and turned the disc almost straight up and down. Well, it made it into the woods then I heard the CHAINS! My wife and older daughter stood there for a moment, and since the pin is blind to me on the tee, I wasn't sure if it stuck. Then they both reacted and screamed and cam running toward me. It stuck! And making it even better, I slammed the chains right in front of them standing 20' from the basket.
So, we continue on our round as one big group now, we get off the ski hill and down into the creek valley. On Hole 12 I slammed the yellow band and was thinking "oh man, 2 aces in one day would have been incredible". So, we continue on and I think that yellow band calmed me down. We step up to Hole 13H back at the edge of the property, and the pin is in the winter location off the hill and to the right. It is a nice long and narrow shot with a hard fade right at the end. I pulled out the Firebird and flicked a bullet down the middle. It did what it was supposed to do, hooked around all the trees, and slammed the front of the chains. This one was wide open to us and we watched it all the way, seeing it stop in the chains and drop in the front of the basket!
TWO ACES in one day! I've had my luck for the year, I'm positive I'm done now. Those aces put me at 16 total in my lifetime (12 years playing).
