12/8/2002, Chris Himing, the Australian Ziegenbock King hit the Live Oak, Texas Ace Pot for $400 on hole 15. Nice 275' hyzer with a CE Firebird. Luckily we have a backup ace pot close to $200 that is now up for grabs.

After Chris released the disc, I commented "Did you guys know this is the second most aced hole on the course?" A fraction later, he rings the chains! Now if only I could guess the lotto numbers /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I thought I was playing at Universal City? Does that mean I get the Live Oak ace pot as well.

That was a fun round. A $400 ace certainly helps. Can't make it next Sunday but will be back more often from now. Next I want the course record.

I wish you guys would figure out which course it's being held at so I could get there on time. My arm is sore from all those mud drives at UC. Or is it Live Oak? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I was so excited about Chris hitting the Ace, I put down the wrong course. Oh the benefits of having two great courses two miles apart!!

The Ace was officially hit at Universal City. It was the second payout for an ace since the course went into the ground. Keith "Big Bird" Baker walked away with close to $300 last year.

Sundays are always at UC, Randy. Great to CU and the other Austinites and foreigners down our way.

Next time we'll play in smaller groups. 3.5 hours to play the back 19 holes at Live Oak was a killer!

Chris, you didn't know this, but I bonked my head on a tree limb while putting during doubles, and saw stars (not JLO, but close.) I'm sure that affected my my my my.....

Yeah, Brian has a nice upwards body motion when he putts. Since he hit his head so hard, I didn't have the heart to tell him he's not allowed to move branches when putting.

ouch, that hurts!

I doinked a 20 foot putt on hole 13 at the H.B. monthly, it then rolled 25 feet as slowly as possible out of bounds. I didnt cuss,Iputted out and walked to the next hole pulled out my 160 Candy Firebird that already said ace on the top of it, not because I had ever got an ace with but becauae I knew it would happen. Right before I threw my shot I told the 2 guys I was playing with,"If it goes in I'll buy you both hot fudge sundays. Cha ching $100 ace pool for me and ice cream for my buddies.

Hey Patrick's weeney! Missed you at San Diego, dude. Thought you would be on the team. Next year. Nice ace.

I would have gone but i had too write a 10 page paper between sunday and 11 A.M Monday mourning. Only 7 days left of school and theys a givin me's a degree. Four papers left to go and 6 finals, till I'm back at ElDO. Thankx for not beating H.B Mr dino bird

Raleigh pros have amassed 31 OPEN PRO WINS this year...Larry Leonard 12;Brian Schweberger 7;Walter Haney 7;Chris Lee 4(Rookie);Brian McRee 1. Does any other one city have more.

Count me in with Raleigh and they will have more.

I'm a member of RADL, and that would bring the total wins to,,,,um,,,,oh, still 31.

Brian are you seriously saying Chris Lee is a ROOKIE??? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Come on now.. Have a Great Holiday..

No, but it is his first year of playing OPEN.

Brian, make that 8 wins for Snoop. Raleigh rules with 32.

I believe Orange City, Iowa is close to that many OPEN PRO WINS this year, and certainly destroys Raleigh in SuperTour OPEN PRO WINS.

Hawkeyes Rule, Tarheels Drool.

Just the facts ma'am, just the facts.

I think what Brian meant to say was, Raleigh has 32 PDGA wins in the Male Pro Open Division between 5 players. Thanks Rodney for correcting us RADL boyz. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif
Walt

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, MALE Pro Open. Somehow I probably knew that but was just funnin' with y'all.

I was going to suggest a Carolinas Team Challenge, but with those credentials in the Triangle, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Hear that Charlotte?

I will play my first official local tourney on 12-22. X-Mas Open at Oak Park, Orangevale Ca.

Ray, you better be there on the 21st or you are going to miss your first tourney. See ya there. Send $$ in soon or get on the waiting list.

Thanks for the info, I will be paying my $$ this weekend to Final "9". See you at the course.

Hear that Charlotte??? 32 open wins. Not bad. ummm by the way, how many world champions are from Raleigh??? How about how many Hall of Fame members are from Raleigh???
32 open wins don't mean squat if ya can't win the big one. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif
Hows ya like them apples?

Rick, I think they were talking about the OPEN division. We currently have one HOFer Carlton "born to deuce" Howard. Hope the rest of my Charlotte buddies have their power on. Just got mine back today. LL

Take charlotte's hardware and stack it next to raleigh's.We can build a mansion next to your shack is all I'm saying Rick.Pick a div,any div.Quit living on other people's resume,and try to get your own.J/k dude,how you like your new bag tag!15 down in the ice,weren't ready for that!

Paul my only claim to fame is beating the world champ at Mookie's Cup earlier this year. After that it's all fun. #95 bag tag, only way to go is up from here.
LL was just joinin in the smack talk. Can't ever take anything away from the Raleigh boys. Now how bout 1 of you step up and win worlds next year.

Raleigh, if you really want to boast, wait 'til you see the new ratings. <FONT SIZE="-2">3 in the top 10?!!?!</FONT>

Sadly for Charlotte, what Stan's been saying about his rating is finally playing out.

My apologies for the leak and the tease, I'm just so giddy about the new numbers I can't help myself. The full set should be made public soon.

don't forget you were a Charlotte boy for a bit too Paul. now you leave and you smack us? don't think that was necessary...

Birdied 8 straight holes at the ROCK yesterday.. yahoo

You sure you weren't at Lago, C-dub? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

That's pretty impressive. Which holes are we talking?

the handicap one's/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

7-12 playing the normal boxes. and 2 holes that are made up for Thursday league play. Only 1 other team birdied one of the 2 made up holes and we were the only team to birdie the first man that PREDATOR gets some serious D.. can you say QUALITY PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

somehow it posted twice..sorry..

Is one of those that wicked little shot from in the trees behind where Old # 10's basket used to be, across the bowl and onto the backside of the levee?

Not that hittin 7-12 isn't good enough.

Now the real question is...

...How'd ya do on the other holes? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

12 birds, 1 bogey, 5 pars.. -11 not bad new Thursday record.. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif and no we are not using that hole..

course record on a virtual course!
good job!
are any of those thrusday holes the same holes as the real course?
I had 4 aces and 20 birdies at the virtual course at my house just yesterday.

BRING it on THURS.. Kojak.. and yes 7-12 are the same as you say REAL course..

FUN TO GET THIS GUY GOING/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Sunday December 15th 6:45 PM Central, Mitch Winn aced hole 18 at Rocky Ridge Ranch Disc Golf Course on the 99th hole of play on the day (no sunlight). I feel sorry for his soul... he sold it to the devil for one golf shot!
Way to go Mitch!!!!
Guyman

Saturday, 12-14-02 A day in infamy or something like that. Shady Oaks disc course winds 20-40mph wind gusts, rain on the way. My partner and I managed a -3 for 18 holes, then a 2 hole playoff, we were victorius!! Cashed $30.00 to me and 2nd place. One helluva day!!!

Yesterday I got the course record for the pro tees at Gulley park. -6 (I had the record with -5 before that)

I forgot to mention that I after that I tied the 1 disc record on the short tees at Gulley. -13 with my putter! Only a Wizard could pull that off.

After that round, Kelly Ganzell and I decided to play one more round and go for the doubles record on the long course. And just for the bragging rights, we only took our putters. We tied the record at -16. Way to go Kelly! He made all my terrible putts.

I have a higher rating then Rhett!

Kid Roc brings up some good reasons why we need a new course in Fayetteville./clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif

I took to a trip to Tulsa today to play McClure and Hunter. I have seen Hunter before but this is my first time to play it. I shot a 1 and aced #3. It was gorgeous. And with what disc did I use? Wizard of course! I also shot a -4 at McClure which isn't terrible for a lowly Am. I didn't ace anything there but I did birdie #5 in the long pin position.

Yeah Jeff I agree. That is one of the reasons I am moving to Arlington.

Arlington claims another soul/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Arlington is one of the only courses that I have played that looks so easy, and yet I cant shoot under par....I think that I need to spend some time with John on the course.

After the holidays i'll gladly stay after the Sunday mini and show you a few pointers that helped me shoot that -12 /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

-12 sounds like a QUALITY round.

Sounds good John....I will be there on Jan.12(Sunday after Poision Ivy). I wish I could make it up there sooner than that but you know that the sooner bag tag thing is the 4th of Jan.

I am the 5th most improved AM in the PDGA?????? /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I know Rob Florida.

Sometimes I email Jeff Ash and make promises I don't keep.

That one isn't nearly as good as
Discgolfdude is my twin brother separated at birth.

Sometimes Chris Hysell emails me and makes promises he doesn't keep.
/clipart/proud.gif

Jeff, I promise to email you soon.

I am boasting that I really sucked in my first tourney, the X-Mas Open 12-23-02, ADV division. 1st round 63, 2nd round 61 par was 54. Maybe if I could have had a beer during the round that might have helped.

I finished DFL at the ElDo monthly! Woo-hoo!

Aced # 2 at bart my second hole of the round.. # 10 for me and about $1360.00 in ace $$ for year 2002..

I took the ace pot ctp at Z Boaz as the last thrower for $110, and ade $10 for the putting contest! Go Figure!!!

Ray, the conditions were not the best that day. Except for Jim Oats and a couple others, scores were fairly high.

Correction Craig, you split the ace pot with me and one other person. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I had first place wrapped up until Craig parked his. I still got 70.00 out it, plus 20 from the putting contest. Of which I posted the 2nd highest score of the day in any division. I also won the grandmaster bag tag challenge...since I was the only one with a bagtag. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

no willy, craig did take the ace pot CTP. he was ctp, thats why he got the first place cut of the ace pot.

i was the only one to hit pin on the ace pot throwoff, but skinked a few feet too far off the pole.

and got $16 in the putting contest after avenging my 3rd place finish in the Am weekend deal by winning the division overall. i beat Lloyd and restored the universe to its rightful order.

I played De La Veaga yesterday for the first time and I didn't slip in the mud and fall down a hill, I didn't lose a disc and I shot a respectable 10. I would have scored better but my wife walked the course with me (talking to me while I'm putting) and she didn't give me any time to practice putting before the fray.

Hey Rich, I know scores were fairly high for most people at the tourney but my game that day just sucked. I usually average par or under at Shady Oak. I just could'nt get my putts to fall. The first adv.group I was with played well, -1, 2, 3. Oh well, back to weekend practice at the course.

I shot a -6 at Morley on New Year's Eve day, and clinked the pin off the skip on hole one in front of a bunch of first-timers!

pins in the tucson positions rhett?? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif
happy new year to my favorite long hair poster

Two aces in one round at Birmingham's Christmas Classic!! Holes #1 and #11. Chad Smith, 19238

I remember that, Addie. I thought y'all were just yanking my chain. Hope you two can make the ice bowl, Jan. 18 in Florence. Hope y'all had a good holiday as well. Say hi to Chad. Russ. C

Nah, Keith. I was playing with a group of first timers I met on tee one so I was too busy encouraging them with calls of "nice shot" to stress on my own game, so I shot pretty well. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

been there done that /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I aced hole 9 at Veteran's Park in Arlington, TX today. Hyzer bomb over the trees with my Wizard from the long tee. It was awesome. I also had 1 birdie and 16 pars to make -3 my best round out there.

Nice Danny.........Now do it on Sunday for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$

A day late and $550 short/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif Nice Danny!

Danny who? I Thought I knew all down With V.P.O.

P.S.
I've aced that hole 3 times.

well, you must be really good. I could never be great like you.

Dusty who??? do you want a cookie for that great honor? I have lived here for 2 weeks. I played the course occasionally before I moved here. I think it will take a little longer than 2 weeks for me to ace it 3 times.

It's two months early but I bought myself a 40th birthday present today.

should've gone for the hall pass. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

did you get rid of the impala?

No way. I'm starting to collect vehicles. My Impala SS is still my baby.

I played in my first Advanced tournament, an A tier, at Gran Canyon (never played there before) and I tied for 11th place, only 10 strokes out of first.

My second round I finished the front 9 even, the second 9 one over, and then I took a 12 over on the nasty nine. Although I flubbed an awesome round, I am more than happy with my finish. top 12 players got an invite to Am Nats! I'm going to Michigan!

Since I know Keith is too humble to do it himself. I will brag on his behalf.

He won the Pro Masters division at the Tucson Ice Bowl. I believe this is his first time cashing on over two years (of course it wasn't sanctioned, so he still hasn't officially cashed, but he did play pretty well).

<FONT SIZE="-2">perhaps I should have posted this under my Agent Provocateur persona</FONT>

Keith did play better than I have ever seen him, but what was the deal about him playing masters(in a division by himself), and then when he played good he kicked in the extra $10 so that he could finish and cash in open?

Hey I wanna boast. I had 19 straight pars from the end of the 1st rd. through the middle of the 2nd., and almost all of the holes were par 2s(did I just say par 2, bad russel, bad).

i DID NOT cash in open...there never has been a masters division in 2 years of me living in this state....enough said

my only boast was having the second best round of the day and only one to birdie 10 c and 18 long with no mulligans... did finish 4 of 16 in open and got first place in the non-existent masters division!

I say we make him wear the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">PINK SHIRT</FONT>.

The shirt is not mine to bring, and I wouldn't have, or will be playing for it, in the near future, or until I can play like I used to. Mildog meant you, Keith. Dano has your shirt, Keith. You still would have had to wear it the 1st round.

At Saturday's Ice Bowl in Florence, Al., two players (Richard Brown of Birmingham, AL., and Jon Baccus of Sheffield, AL.) on the same card aced the same hole, Hole #8, back to back. One a hyzer shot and the other an anhyzer. They got to split the ace pot and won a pair of CTP discs. Pretty cool. RwC

wrong russ.........if you weren't in then it would be clue's shirt...
remember you guys stuck me in masters for payout....which are not eligible for the shirt...and even if they were i STILL WOULD NOT BE WEARING IT AS I HAD BETTER SCORES THAN THE OTHER PLAYERS INVOLVED IN THE SHIRT CONTEST!
/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

My memory says you stuck yourself in masters, then tried to buy your way into open when you found you had a good enough score to cash.

Ok, here's a boast:
After finishing the 9th hole of our 9 hole course, there is a bit of a walk back to #1. There is a field in between the holes, so I usually throw a couple of drives (since our course is a shorty, this is the only airtime my drivers get). I guess some people have seen me do this, because one day I caught up to a foursome and one of the guys turns to me and says, "Hey. You're 'distance guy' right?" Yup. That's me. Distance Guy. Autographs available upon request.

Coast Guard helicopter returned a disc (a red XL) to me at the Gran Canyon during pre-tourney doubles last Friday afternoon. Dropped it out to Sheila after circling and hovering over the course for a while. I'd bet that's about the most unique disc return in DG history. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Keith, If my memory serves me, you had the worst score at the end of the fountain, so that means the shirt is yours for the first round at the next tourney that the shirt is in play.

which just happened and now i don't have it anymore no matter how you want to play semantics....keith

????????? I think I'm going back to calling you a space cadet.

Keith is now officailly ending the pink shirt thing, 'cause if the rightful owner won't wear it, then no one else will.

Terry, I have heard of but one more unique return story than yours. I don't remember the discs owner - but this happened out in San francisco Bay area a few years back. A disc that was washed away under flood/downpour conditions (or maybe the guy just plunked it off the back of a ferry I don't know) was retrieved in a fisherman's net some months later. The fisherman proceeded to call the number on the back of the disc to return it to it's rightful owner. Let's hope that fisherman received the appropriate amount of good karma in return /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Was it a dolphin?

if i WAS supposed to wear the shirt why was it left in PHOENIX?????
if the shirt had been here and i did wear it it would have gone to you after round 1(oh but then you say you wouldn't have been in anyways cuz you like playing while hurt) and then at the end of the tournament (discounting you by your dropping out) would have gone to dave dollar with a 49....so give dave the shirt to wear at the memorial...by the way disc golf dude started a thread for the shirt updating the rules..so any more argiung should be there and not here....see you saturday.....keith

If the shirt had been in play, I think it would've gone to Tonga (53) unless Gary, Milton, or Slammy got in, but it didn't show up, so we don't know who would've been in.

Milldog, will it be in play for the tree-donation tourney? Will anyone wear it the first round?

If the shirt is not present IT CANNOT BE PLAYED FOR !

What if scenerios fail to take into account the tremendous added pressure of playing with the spectre of the shirt looming. A whole new spin on T pressure/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Meh. I finished 4th in the Adv Am division of the Sarasota Ice Bowl. I had a first round from hell though. I don't even want to post it. 66...there, I said it. I went OB like 7 times. I made up for it with a 54 in my second round. All in all it was a fun day, and I came away with 5 discs while only losing one. 4....nice.

Aced #18 at Berkeley today, for around $100...The "Best pairs Bash" is payin off this year!

now you have money to start your business again /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

or at least to pay-off your losses at the memorial

congrats dude! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

on this sad day i saw 3 aces at 2 different tucson courses.....

at the new course at groves park..i aced hole #5(165 feet)with my jk aviar putter and shot 15 down first time playing there with the baskets in the ground using a roc and putters
in league a couple hours later...dave shircore aced #4(155 feet) for 99 bucks(first league ace at the course open for only 8 days)
3 of us went to play the "b" course at santa cruz after leagiue and because of daylight left alternated b and a course...milton nelson aced #17 a(145 feet)

3 aces....total length shorter than one hole on most courses /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif
also in keeping with my luck in arizona...i now have an ace on each course in tucson and did not get a cent for either one
milton got 10 bucks(5 from each)keeping with the florida tradition i brought here...he's lucky i was there or he'd have got diddly squat(keeping with the arizona tradition of not paying for aces /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif)

maybe i'll get one for cash at league tomorrow or when the "b" league starts wednesday evening.....keith

You should play in Phoenix more. I hear every ace is worth about $200 (minus beer expenses). Unless of course you hit a spectacular ace at fountain with 10 people in your group like Milldog, in which case you'd be lucky to scrounge 3 bucks out of it.

maybe if i lived there like you do,i would /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

no matter where i play i have always done the 5-1 ace-metal(cage or higher)like i learned to do in florida(where it is done anywhere you play)...
i haven't seen it anywhere else i played(roughly 15-20 different states)
although once in cali i saw a couple of guys payout but the guy that aced didn't know anything about it

Norcal vets always pay out $5 for aces. Marty Hapner gave me a buck for basket at the Norcal/Socal battle. That was a first.

In today's Ice Bowl I threw 37 discs with 36 throws.

The first 36 were plastic. The 37th was cartilage.

Ouch.

Yesterday, after a Windjammer weekly, Russ Neumann Jr. aced the 8th hole, for his 8th ace, on the 8th of February! He even told his dogs that he was going to get one before he left for the course. That's what he said anyway.

I guess you have not played in Maryland keith as a lot of us are in for life on the 5 1 metal mania game.

only time playing maryland was 3 years of seneca creek.....but then no one aced while i was there....
tough holes to ace on /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

it would be interesting to see which states have 5-1 going on...
we know florida and now maryland......any others????

keith- you did get a buck at seneca for hitting the spotter though. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

we used to do 1/3/5 in richmond. i don't know if anyone still does or not.

No John, I broke them of that. There are a few that will still pay $5 for aces but I think it's down to 4 of us now. Since my production has gone way down, maybe I can get some others back into it and pay my car off early.

i remember john.........hole 14 coming back out of the corner.....those were the good ol' days /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif


that taught the guy that being 400 feet from the tee in the woods wasn't the best place to spot /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

DES beat me this past weekend and I enjoyed it/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

locally, we do

1,3,5

dollar metal, three dollar chains, and a fin for an ace...


________
another course one town over-- they do something they call super fan.

the 1,3,5 metal mentioned above

plus...

3,2,1 for ctp... within one foot (ctp) you'd get 3$, two feet away 2$... etc...

plus skins AND nassau.

whew...

It might be different in LA, but a 'fin' is a $20 bill in the NY area.

On the first ace I ever saw, 2 guys in the group gave the thrower $5, but I just figured they had a side bet or something and didn't offer anything. Felt like a tool afterward tho. /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/f.htm

a fin is a five spot to the rest of the world (based on the UK's 5�)

And a confused one./clipart/wink.gif


Matt,
Nice smooth gradual build up, almost effortless, until it gets to around 10,000, then a mad sprint. They say the best way is to keep the arm extended, and I do that at the start, but I'm getting faster spins with the "bent elbow technique". The powerball is about eighteen inches in front of my chest, and it's all wrist.
I've only had it a week, and I am addicted.
It's great going head to head with these guys from all over the world.
If you're getting 12's- Crank off another good one, snap a picture and send it to them. Let's flood that page with disc golfers!

Where'd you get your Powerballs?
Have they helped your golf game?

I got mine from Powerballs.com (http://www.powerballs.com/)

It's been snowing ever since I got it, so I don't know if it helps, or not. I think, as long as you maintain flexibility, that the powerball can do nothing but help your game.

It helps with grip strength, wrist torque and strength, forearm strength, even your upper arms feel it a bit. There are a variety of grips you can use to isolate different muscle groups, etc...

The thaw has arrived so I'm going outside to see if it does help.

After a very informal field test, I would have to say it will help my game. Sharp, crisp releases and throws. I seemed to have more distance, with no sacrifice for accuracy. I didn't putt, but I can't get any worse, so that may improve too./clipart/wink.gif

I got my first career ace yesterday on hole 9 at Gulley Park. I even had 4 witnesses while playing "51" and quarter skins.

WAY TO GO! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Frame that puppy and hang it on the wall, Jerry. Get a notary public to verify the signatures of the witnesses on a sworn affidavit or on the back of your ace disc, then have the franklin mint issue you a letter of authenticity. You never know, you may become a famous disc golfer. It could only increase it's value...or you could just hang it on the wall so you don't lose it./msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Bronze it.

I think i'll just keep using it. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif It was by far my worst throw of the day. I threw LHBH (the only hole i do) and it was about 15ft right of the basket going fast enough to make it probably 250ft. Of course the hole is only 100ft long and i was going to wind up in the bushes across a ditch until it hit a tree and redirected straight into the chains.

BOASTING TIME!! I am Official PDGA Member #22286. Just got my package in the mail, THANK YOU PDGA! Cool red ROC and a cool mini with my # on it. Stickers are on my truck window. I am moving up in the world, LOOK OUT! Now if I can only play better!

I stick my tongue out at you, sir. I am # 19740! And I got a Firebird! Just kidding, congrats. If you spray the mini with clear laquer it will last longer (in use).

Cool idea about the mini, thanks. [:P] to you too, low #19740.

I got my 4th ace of the year today! yay

of the year??
bite me!
/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

What kind of courses do you guys play at? I'm not sure if their were a total 4 aces at my home course for all of the past year for everybody combined.

Madison, WI. They have some pretty cool courses except they're all pulled right now (you'd think with 3 great courses they could at least keep 1 in at all times) the 4 I got already this year were all over 250' /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif it's a good start!

I defended my Calvert #10 tag (and these tags are more beautiful than any of your tags) today at Calvert Road disc golf course from the likes of Tom "DUB" Kim included in my -9 was an ace on hole 13 with the jk valk!

I got my 2nd lifetime ace last night!! I threw a 1st run z-wasp with the ghost stamp. hole #1 at oakwood park, MN. threw a slight annie and it straightened out and just dove into the chains!! really cool!!! i hope i can do it again tonight at sundog, its worth around $400 for the ace pool!!

I hit my 9th ace this weekend in San Saba. Hole 4 at Strawbale. I wasn't too happy when I found out that there was no ace pot but John Houck hooked me up with some CE TL's. That was cool of him. Thanks John.

Aced hole 11 at Morley today! Position A, 296 feet downhill. Threw a gentle hyzer that skimmed the tree line, came down and WHAM!!! Thank you Z MRV for my third ace ever!

I have always thrown both Innova and Discraft plastic, but all my aces have been with Discraft. Used a Cyclone and a Z XS for my other two aces. Hmmm.../msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Ace#98, hole #3 Gillies Creek, Richmond, Va. 300ft, 4/5/03. Z-Wildcat...my sweet orange baby. 2 more to reach 100.

Before this weekend, my last ace was hole 13 south course at Round Rock during a practice round for 2001 Natl Doubles. 2 years later in a practice round for 2003 World Doubles I hit my next ace on hole 7 on the River course. Guess I'll have to go practice for World Doubles in 2005 to get my next one.

Here is a boast.

Currently #1 in NC in both my age and my Amateur division in Racquetball

-12 at Carolina Course today with an ace on #15 (hole before valley shot)...and missed 2 20-footers! Dam! Quite possibly had the best drive of my life on #5 (slow, steady anhyzer), but couldn't watch it because I was falling into a mud pit, which covered me from head to toe...That teepad is the worst teepad EVER!!!
Why couldn't I find my MOJO this past weekend...

Because you were at the wrong course.

I removed a tick from Kyle Power's back at 4:12 am Sunday morning./clipart/proud.gif

Well, that's better than his backside/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Here's a boast. I'm a pro and i shot a pair of 72's in Wilmington a couple of weeks ago. Top That!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!

Jeff, why were you examining Kyle's back at 4:12 AM??? /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Brian,

Same course last 8 rounds: 62, 59, 59, 59, 62, 60, 62, 59. The last four rounds were tournament rounds.

Kirk

Speaking of Wilmington, I 2ed 13,14,(NEW)15,16 and still shot a 60.

Male bonding./clipart/wink.gif

It brought us a World Championship, didn't it?/clipart/proud.gif

Actually, Kyle was awakened from a slumber by an itching sensation. He knew that this was different from the usual itching sensations he has. When he turned on the bathroom light, he disscovered the offending creature clinging to his back.
I was awakended by his whimpers.
"What's wrong?", I barked. I was still defensive due to my play the day before.
"Oh, I've got a [*****] tick on my back"
"I've got tweezers", I replied.
"Get him off of me, get him off of me!!!" Kyle screamed.
I got my tweezers out of my bag, and lo and behold, there it was- Amblyomma americanum
aka The Lone Star tick.
What else would you expect to find in San Saba?
Kyle doesn't know this but I snapped a photo (http://www.cvm.missouri.edu/cvm/courses/vm556/Arthropods/Arachnida/228.jpeg) of it.
I finally got Kyle calmed him down, sang him back to sleep, and the rest is history.

shot a 45 today w/ 4 missed putts...im happy for that

Jeff, don't you hae aything better to do than torment me?

I've got stories too! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Don't mean to cut in folks....but....The DEADWINGS LOST....Thats my BOAST!!!/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I played a full 9 hole course in 2 minutes 42 seconds and still shot -8. It was a pretty tough course . . . .

I'll be good /clipart/sad.gif

I want to hear more about Chris' 2:42 round

it was Fewell park in Rockhill SC, u don't need to say anymore than that. (121' average hole length) I think I got 7-8 aces that day (I don't count any of em as real ones since they were all under 150' )

Shot an unconscious round at WaterWorks last night! -3 with 7 birdies! Only 3 holes with mental breakdowns! Best part...Brought a girl out to watch and impressed the shite out of her! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif okay...so I was trying to show off a bit, but I was unconscious...it was GREAT! Good enough to move me from tag #42 to #7! OOOH YEAH!

I just shot two of the best rounds of my life just now at the Iroquois "Gold Course" set up for the Kentucky All-Star weekend...first round a -13 (my best ever, any course and that's with 2 bogeys!) and my second round at -10! Now, I just wish I could play this weekend so I could take home some of the prizes.../msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

I just found out I won the Annual Jellybean Guessing Contest at the Ozark Mountain Smokehouse (http://www.ozarkfamily.com/)!/clipart/proud.gif

What did you win?
Probably a lifetime membership so that you can go smoke your meat anytime you want.
Take advantage of it, then you can smoke your meat and play with those funky balls.

Good to hear Jeff. I was wondering how your jellybean guess ended up.

Really, I was really thinking about that today!

Really I was!!

Strange!

I birdied a 305' hole twice yesterday with my CE Aero. I love that disc.

Brad Schick and I tied the course record (-13) at Meade-Olin on the final round at the 2003 Fling-A-Thing Pro-Am Doubles. That moved us from the 6th card to tied for third, one out of first. Thanks Brad. I had a Blast!

I was 4 under after the first 3 holes at the El Do monthly last month. 2 birdies and an ace!!
32 holes later I was 5 under!!!
:-)


2 birdies in the same day Rhett, isn't that a record for you. :-)

That was cold. Extremely da<FONT SIZE=" 0">m</FONT>n funny, but cold! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I just got my first lefty ace!! Hole 5 at Beaver Dam, WI 200' My 5th ace this year /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Last 5 tournaments....4 wins and a second place...

-Tarheel tournament (PDGA), 1st in Intermediate, won by 1
-Fayetville Monthly at Arnette, 1st in Advanced, won my 10

I've been hot thats for sure :-D

:-)
I am sure that you will try to exact your revenge at Morley in a couple of weeks when I come down for the tourney.

All smiles

I'll let the kid school ya on the intricacies of Morley. Actually, we'll be at the same disadvantage as the out of town golfers since we have no idea where the new tee-pads are going to be. /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

Okay, I figured out the cool formatting thingee. I thought that it was a linked gif that was brought in.

I'm not much of a braggart but I gotta boast about this one. I just had 2 aces in one round at Farm Life Disc Golf, NC. Holes 1 &amp; 3 it was unbelievable. Still only shot -5, but I was happy.
If only I coulda put the 2 aces with the 9 birdies I had 2 days ago /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

GEEZ JODY!!

we were just talking the other day how u never ace man!

Congrats!!

Robert

yeah I know, had 2 in 6 years, and then 2 within 3 holes

thx man

Nice work Jody,, 3 especially being blind, or was it the alt placement in the field? Either way, thats a sweet 1

It was the blind one, the original

Well I got two that come to mind. Home course record, old placement, Tied it twice. Though once with only two discs, salty putter &amp; driver overstable putter. -13. Same course year and half or so later 4 holes in a row metal off the tee, last throw was skip pole....but that counts when you get robbed 3 times and the locals are sneaking around in the trees wondering whos raping who.

I did the bicycle leg of a triathlon today. 24.6 miles in an hour and a half. Not bad for someone who hasn't done anything resembling aerobic excercise <FONT COLOR="ff0000">*</FONT> since retiring from Ultimate about 3 years ago.


<FONT COLOR="ff0000">*</FONT> Unless walking from hole 4 up to hole 5 at Sipapu counts as Aerobic excercise.

* It should.

Today was a good day. I got my grub on but didn't pig out. Sorry, that was my Ice Cube flashback. My day started off with an early trip to the carwash because I can't go to work in a dirty Corvette. I managed to do 96mph in a 45mph just for the fun of it. I got in to work by 7:00am with enough time to watch the cop pull my boss and give him a ticket. Sweet. After a hectic day at work including some mean thunderstorms ruining my wash job, I decided to drive an hour to a weekly disc golf event. As everyone was waiting for their hole assignments, I got my #99 lifetime ace. Everyone was happy that the acepot was now safe. My round was typical, putts falling in from everywhere. I drove hole 6, a 487ft hole to within 50ft and made the putt. It's downhill. I then aced hole #7 for my 100th lifetime ace. I followed that up by bashing the chains on #8. It wasn't over. On the way home, I drove 137mph in a 65 zone. Today was a good day.

Slow down Chris speeding is not good,you could have easily tacoed your discs and congrats on #100 you lucky [*****]/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Hysell, speeding is so not cool. You are a moron for somehow glorifying it. You are stupid if you continue to glorify it. I will gladly kick your [*****] over this if I have to.

Yeah Chris what he said/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I will gladly speed over to your house and kick your [*****]. You are obviously some deranged lunatic to even consider threatening me. You [*****] mother [*****].

Chris, your attitude is sickeningly immature. I'm done with you.

Yeah, we had some 40 yr. old guy racing on the north side the other day. He made the news after rolling his ride. He won't be speeding again.

You guys better leave Chris alone if you know whats good for ya..Oh yea i nailed my first tourney ace last weekend at the ARR in suffolk Va, hole 13 .What was the distance Chris?62 Bucks

Jim, how can you tell what kind of attitude I have? I am having fun with this. Type written words only show the emotion that the reader wants to interpret. Are you telling me that you were serious about kicking my [*****]? I thought that was a joke. Well it better be or you would be in for a world of hurt little man. I'm a badddd man. Was Ali serious when he said that or just playing it up for the cameras? You need to lighten up some or someone will get smite you down with extreme vengeance. Or we could just meet half way.

Chris tell em to come to 2 Days in May we'll talk to em then.Oh yea bring the Vet so we can show em how fast we really go.....Ummmm he was playing serious.or He was seriously playing.

I hope none of yous feel threatened by me. This message board is fun to me. How can any of you take any of this seriously?

And I'll be glad to take all your plastic, even if it IS Discraft. /clipart/proud.gif

Who gets the house?

I finally hit an Ace in tournament on Saturday! Morley regular-18 deep (tourney 24) on big hyzer skip run. Solid chain and stick, no debate or basket bounce. People were handing me dollars while I was still asking "did it stick?"

Hey dud, I got $59 out 125 players. Not too bad. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

rhett,

let me be the first message-board-junkie to congratulate you. I know after all these years this has to be a proud moment for you. Well earned, I'm sure. Take care.

Gee.....if you Cali-nuts did things right, for Ace-pots, it could have been MUCH more!!!

/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

It was on May 13, 2002 that I posted the following message on this thread:
_______________________
Less than four weeks after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery on my right knee, I nailed my first career ace (going into my 10th month of playing DG) on Hole #10 at France Park in Logansport, IN.
________________________

I was out playing good ole France Park Sunday May 11, 2003 and wouldn't you know it, I aced hole #10 again. Same exact pin placement - difference being this time that my JK-Aviar went completely through the side of basket without ever touching a chain!! It wasn't until the ride home that I realized it was 1 year ago that I aced this same hole. That makes ace #3.

I love this game!

Hey Cong,

$1 ace-pot x 125 players = $125

$125 divided by 3 aces = $41.67 each

$59 - $5 for ace on my card - $1 for other ace = $53

I think I came out over $11 ahead with our way! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Rhett, you missed the earliest ace permutation:

first ace of tournament = $125
subsequent aces = $0

Oooh...and mine was the first ace of the tourney, too! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Rhett, You old dog! Awesome ace! I've yet to do it in tournament! 51 or whatever, around here,Fritz rules ,every witness gives a buck! Way to go Rhett from So. Cal, as my wife still calls you. [*****], I'm on here too much! I owe u $1. payable next sighting! /clipart/happy.gif 'meister"

Non-Disc Golf Related Boast-
Saturday, during the Razorback Baseball Alumni Softball game at Baum Stadium (http://nw-ar.com/panoramas/baum.html), I hit a softball that landed on the warning track 330 feet away. It bounced against the fence.
I have hit many balls longer than that, but not under those circumstances. A crowd, announcer, TV, old friends, etc... I hadn't played in 4 years. My first at-bat. It was pretty awesome. I ended up two for three, two runs scored, one RBI, an intentional walk (yep/clipart/proud.gif), in a 7-7 tie.

I would have brushed you back with my "Mountain Lob"!

Went from the 13th card ( 39th place ) to the 4th card ( 14th place ) in 1 round. Finished T-8th at the end of the tournament( Bell South Open ). I was sooo frustrated with the O.B. rules and pool assignments that I just wanted to quit. Sometimes you just have to accept everything that life throws at you, eventhough it $ucks!

good turn around Snoop. I bet that jump made for a good change ???

"Sometimes you just have to accept everything that life throws at you"...
but then you can throw it back...and you'll probably blow by it knowing you Snoop.

Walt, I need to come see you sometime to make that trade...let me know a good time.

I accidentally jump putted this weekend.

i won a ching skill shot in a CTP contest.

heres a bost from my dad.....he got his fourth eagle this morning...but it was in ball golf....way to go dad! (85 yard 2nd shot chip in on a par 4)
