Area Aces

[Chainiac]

Speaking of aces today, Voss and I were playing a round at Grignon. We had these 3 young guys playing behind us. We decided after #11 (used car lot) that we would wait and let them play through since they were playing faster than us. I was drying my discs off when we heard the chains ching behind us. The guys were back on the pad giving each other high fives. But that's not the best part. They guys finish out the hole and we congratulate the guy. Since we didn't see it go in we asked him if it was straight in or a skip ace. He says it skipped in and that they were just screwing around. He said he had been throwing between his legs or under his leg. He proceeds to show us by teeing off on #12. He kicked out one of his legs and flicked a side arm shot under the out stretched leg and he made a serious ace run on #12.

yesterday 11/2/05 i destroyed chains on hole 17 at cass benton but it bounced out. then on the second round stryker, benet and i came around too hole 11 and i chinged a nice forehand. they payed up $5 each...stoked. 2nd ace of the 6 mounths ive been played the game

Nice Ace. Ive been wanting to Ace that from the shorts for a while. I found a Champ T-Bird out there in the field last night and I lost a New Nate Doss X Avenger as well.

Who is this by the way???

#18 at Kaukauna (Grignon) yesterday.
Witnessed by Scott Voss and Dave Van De Loo.
Z-XL
Skipped off the top of the snow capped hill. Nice way to end a round.

FYI to the locals. Dave makes it sound like the Parks Dept. is going to make some changes to a few holes. He talked about changes to 2, 4, 10, 11, 16, and 18.

I ended a drought of over 2 years yesterday. My 10th career ace came on #10 (Pro tee) at Grignon in Kaukauna. I used a 175 star T-rex (WI CTP) and skipped it in. Jeremy Vils witnessed the beauty.

I hope I don't have to wait another 2 years for the next one. [img]/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Silver Creek in Manitowoc hole 9 from the long pad, 312', with a star destroyer. Slight head wind. I released it with some anhyzer. It flattened out nicely and started to finish away from the woods. It some how missed the 2 bushes that protect the basket on the right and skipped in. Witnessed by Jeremy Vils.

JV second disc aced #10 at Plamann on Friday night with a Magic. Laser beam straight at it.

I see this is a pretty old topic, but I am new to the PDGA and figured I would get some posts going.

So far in 2010 I have had three aces, all at Grignon. I got hole #10 on a skip (planned) with a champ Xcaliber one witness; it took a low HARD skip from about 40-50 ft. away from the hole (right in the money skip zone, as I refer to it) and hit the chains like a sack of bricks, I can't believe it stuck!

I got #14 with my soft magnet straight down the pipe -- it hugged the trees all the way along the left, with a very gentle anhyzer (1 witness).

And finally, a hole I've wanted to ace for years -- #16; I was in a huge group of about 9 players (the locals/league guys including Rich) and hit it with my new Discraft Glide. Took the right side of the middle lane, hyzered back around the last tree by the hole and stuck! I got paid about $30 on that one.

Side note, my bro just got his 1st ever ace on #11 at Grignon with his Star Mako -- although it's a short hole it was a sweet shot and it was basically in from the second it left his hand. He was so pumped, and he also got paid about $30 because we were in a big group again.

All were from the short pads btw. I really need to step it up and play the long pads here (I do at every other course...), but my friends generally don't want to.

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).
