I personally do not have any aces at any distance, but I have seen many people that claim to have aced holes in excess of 400 many times throughout these boards.

Longest tournament ace (non-PDGA Sanctioned): 726 feet by Brent Bell, #18 Blue, Diamond X - Big Sky State Games, July 20, 2002 (Shane Acedo, Mel Matson, Brian Bjortomt. Chuck Sweeney, witnesses)

I once aced a 63' hole at Fewell Park in Rock Hill, SC

Did you have to use a jump putt? :cool:

726 foot ace? what was the degree of down hill, or do you just throw incedibly far?

KC aced hole 1 at lovers lane in practice the day b4 the tourney started. i think that was "just" 400'

Sick!!!! That's what I'm talkin about!!!! Hole 27 "Top of the World" That one would be awesome to see. :)I personally only have two so far, neither in a tournament, but my first was a 426'-hole 10 f at Morley, with Ryan Gwillim as a witness.

726 foot ace? what was the degree of down hill, or do you just throw incedibly far?

Can't rightly say, seein' as I'm not Brent Bell and I've never been to Big Sky Country. :DBut according to the description on the course website (http://www.airfairways.com/brent_bell.htm), its a 185' "decent" from the tee to the basket. (Sorta makes you wonder how many indecents that is. :D).

What I want to know is, Was he in the ace pool? :D

BTW, watch that last step off the end of the teepad! :eek:

i know hole number 9 at V.A barrie has been aced by Marty Peters.

for those who dont know its 513 to short throwing off about the same size hill as that one 726 foot ace, its easy to get it their though thats what makes a long ace on a hole like that possible. i can throw over 600' when throwing off the hill, yet only throw 400 on flat ground

i didnt even read the rest of your post b4 i had to post back abou tthe 726 hole......
SICK (im with vincint)
top of the world is one heII of an ace, and let me just say........
whoever did that is THE MAN
i dueced it in one of the many rounds that i played there.
thats gotta be one of the coolest holes out there

My longest ace is a 360' downhill anhyzer on #14 @ Hayo-went-ha in northern Michigan. This was on a spider basket, and made the dumbest noise as it went in. Sounded like the disc struck a dead animal.....regardless, it was a sweet ace. Used a beat buzz.

here's the holes:

DeLa is a great course, but Diamond X looks out of this world.
could find Genesee Park, though it's probably near Rochester as that's where the 1999 Worlds was.
sorry in advance to any dial up users, i thought it was worth it.

Being a Diamond X local I can't help but point out that, the 18th hole in those pictures is not the 18th hole that was aced. There are 2 sets of back nines and it was from the other (longer) hole that the ace was made. You can see where this teebox is in the first image. It is left and up of the yellow arrow where the trees are cleared out a bit. The Pic in my post is from the teebox looking down to the hole. If you look close you can barely see the yellow basket. Diamond X is an amazing course.

Wow, what a hole! :eek:

At least you will definitely know if you made a tee off foot faaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuult [ka-thump!] ;)

(my own longest ace a mere 360 ft, hole 10 Lillsj�n, Stockholm)

Longest World Championship Ace: 402' by Shawn Sinclair, #9 Genessee Park, 1999



I know this stat is taken from Hosfeld's records page, but it is incorrect. Tom Woods aced hole #1 (right at 500') at the Toboggan course during the 2000 worlds. It is even listed in the DGWN coverage of that year's worlds. I sent Hos a message, but clearly the page does not get updated very often.

Marcy Roberts aced #11 at Mackensie in Lubbock...very sweet hole, basket is surrounded by water on a penisula...Only ace ever on that hole...

Robert Habert III aced a hole in Abilene that was over 450...I think it was #1, played from the temp long tees. This was just a sic ace- the tee box is not elevated. I did not see him throw it, but I saw it hit the basket...

At least you will definitely know if you made a tee off foot faaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuult [ka-thump!] ;)




Heh, man, who decided that its not hard enough to get a clean throw off without worrying about falling off a cliff. Must just be someones step towards making discgolf more of a spectator sport.

Ben Long aced Hole #5 at George Ward Park in Birmingham Al, it was in the short position at 412ft. He aced it with a KC Roc! Unfortunately it was in a practice round but hey an ace is an ace right?

Elaine King just missed a 900' (downhill) ace at Flagstaff Worlds. Hit the basket.

I nailed chains at 450' on flat ground. It didn't stick.

So it was a 900' birdie right? :D

I dunno, that hole may have played as a par-4. (oops, wrong thread).

that's nasty looking hole.. :eek:

I've never hit a ace over 400 because I have no holes over 350'. I did hit poll on a 500' hole once. Taco that cyclone.

Elaine's near ace at SnowBowl must be the longest metal hit. I don't know if she birdied the hole because the disc would've bounced away after hitting really hard.

I think it is longest metal by a women. I heard some guy hit basket from like 1200 ft or something INSANE. Anyone else here anything like this???

What is the record for just longest drive? I have been told that it is only 860, or so, feet. Why wouldn't that near 900 foot ace be the longest drive? What is the farthest drive you have ever seen?

I've never heard anything about that.

860' was on flat ground in a distance competition. Elaine's was 800- something down a ski hill, hole 18 at SnowBowl at 03 Worlds. I think she threw an MRV.

Alright. I didn't think of elevation changes. That is still amazing. I can only dream of throwing that far.

I aced hole 14 N.A.U. 400 feet during Pro Worlds 2003 :D :D :D it was my second hole of the round.
During a practice round at Snow Bowl Brett Good threw an 8 time all the way to the bottom of the hill on hole 18. It landed 30 feet short of the lodge. Probably a 1300 foot shot on a rope the whole way!!!

860' was on flat ground in a distance competition.



the world record is now 860'???

i thought the record was still held by Chris "Max" Voigt at 712', though admittedly, I can't find any records online for throws more recent than 2001.

Nope, on both counts. Ken Jarvis pushed the record to 247m (810') at Big D in the Desert IV (April 26, 2002), only to have that broken 45 min. later by Christian Sandstrom (250m/ 820').

I think I hit one over 400 feet...#6 at BB Owens in Dallas, TX. It's close to 400 but slightly downhill. But I threw a candy Leopard that I had found for the first time ever to see how it flew and it S'd just a little bit and stuck right in the basket. It was an old Mach 2 too! It kinda sucked because no one was around since it was early in the a.m. Almost didn't even feel like an ace, but first shot ever with the disc! Too bad it hasn't done anything since.

How do you not know if it was 400' or not...and it was the first throw with a found disc...plus your PDGA # is a palindrome...Something seems fishy? :D

I hit a 429' Ace in a PDGA tourney last year in Toccoa, Ga.

Of course it was a downhill shot into a open field so it probably only played like 350', but hey an Ace is an Ace....Right??

Cool thing about it is that you could see the disc the whole time and it was the CTP for my division.

From the Toccoa record newspaper:
The event was held this past Saturday August 28th and Sunday August 29th AT THE BEAUTIFUL ROSELANE DISC GOLF COURSE. 110 participants were attending the 3rd Annual event with men and women world class athletes from all across the country ranging from ages 12-65.
THERE WERE 3 HOLE IN ONE’S SCORED. MIKE DAMMES OF DALLAS, GA. HIT THE SIGNATURE 429’ PAR 3 #7.
MARK DUNN OF AUBURN GA. HIT THE 218’ HOLE #15 AND DAVID HAMMANTREE OF MARIETTA GA. HIT THE 196’ INFAMOUS ISLAND HOLE.
THE TOURNAMENT WENT OVER EXTREMELY WELL WITH PHIL ARTHUR OF KENNESAW, GA. TAKING 1ST. PLACE IN THE OPEN PRO DIVISION SETTING 2 COURSE RECORDS ON HIS WAY TO AN EASY VICTORY.
IN THE PRO MASTERS DIVISION, JOHN NISEWONDER OF TOCCOA HELD A SLIM LEAD AFTER 2 ROUNDS. THEN HE WAS PASSED BY JIM CORDER OF ELBERTON, GA. IN THE 3RD ROUND, THEY WENT BACK & FORTH ON THE 4TH ROUND WITH JOHN NISEWONDER FINALLY COMING BACK TO WIN BY 3 STROKES IN THE FINAL ROUND. 1ST PLACE PRIZE MONEY FOR THE OPEN DIVISION WAS $410.



Three men hit a hole in one David Hammondtree of Marietta, Ga. - Mike Dammes of Dallas, Ga. and
Mark Dunn of Auburn Ga.

I hope an ace wins the CTP :D

I hope an ace wins the CTP :D

It might depend on how one defines "closest," and whether CTP means "closest to the pin" or "closest to the pole," because a disc that comes to rest touching the pole outside the basket could be considered closer to the pole than a wedgie ace.

Any ace over 400' is awesome, I don't care if it's straight down hill and you threw a putter, it still had to go 400' before it went into the basket!

Totally, if you throw an ace for 400'+ feet, you mean business!

Definitely!!!

...and it was the CTP for my division.


Gotta brag on my son. His first ace ever was a scant 300 footer. But he did throw a soft Aviar putter. And it was during Worlds. And it was the CTP hole.

And the Worlds video crew had the camera set up behind the basket.

And I had just reached his group after finishing my round at another course, so I got to see it. :)

You can see it, too. It's on the video for PAW2000. I think the video opens with it. (Later on they make it seem like it was somebody else's ace. They interview a guy who is talking about get two aces while there, and then they show the clip of Ryan's ace again.)

I chained out TWICE in 3 days at #10 at Ewing Park in D.M. from the short pads, which plays i believe 462'. It was not an ace either time, but close enough, right??

That depends...Did you birdie?

Yes, both were underneath the basket...and the first time it was so dark you could barely make out the basket before throwing.

I had a chain ringer on Hole #8 at UAH in Huntsville Alabama during the Lance Armstrong Fundraiser Midnight doubles round. They had battery operated road flares in each basket. It was a 340ft flex shot with my tee bird, I barely saw it in the street light start to fade back where the basket was and I said "That looks like it is going to go..." CRASH!! But we could not see it, only untill I got up to the pin did I see the disc upside down on the ground behind the basket. It was the most disapointing birdie ever.

That was the 7th out of 8 times I have hit chains/basket, no aces so far.

And given your screenname... how many of those did you two putt for par?

And given your screenname... how many of those did you two putt for par?



Funny you say that, recently in a local tournament I finished 6th, only 9 strokes from the lead. However I missed a good 15 ten foot putts in the two rounds. Not to mention it was really windy but my putting was WAY off. It amazed the people in my group how I could drive a 400ft hole, land it within 20 feet of the basket and not sink the putt. It was probably the most miserable putting day of my life.

Also, the reason for my signature. I can get it within 30 feet of most holes under 450ft. However I cannot putt out to save my a*#. A couple of regulars at my home course said that to me after I missed a 25ft birdie putt on a 315ft uphill hole. And as for doubles, between my partner and I, I drive the holes and he putts out. Its a good deal.

Luckily my approach game is pretty good, if I am in trouble I can usually get out most times I can put it close enough to save a three.

I saw Shawn Sinclair park that hole from the longs....which I beleive is close to 600'. Its no ace, but it was MIGHTY impressive.

i wish... i have come close though, a few times on #18 sipapu nm, its 500 or something, maybe even 6 i forget, straight down the skislope. Once i scared it with an aviar, once with a dx cr. It would be a kinda questionable way to ... no way, standing up there looking down. If that can be smacked with an aviar you are either blessed by the gods or a master with the gods approval.

Yeah i remember that, i think it was at the Des Moines Open in 2003? It was my first PDGA tourney, and i couldnt believe what i was seeing...not only was he parking the hole, but he was throwing into the trees beyond the road of #12 with both airshots and rollers...definately sick!!

DVINCENT almost got that same 426' hole again on Friday.

:D

I saw Shawn Sinclair park that hole from the longs....which I beleive is close to 600'. Its no ace, but it was MIGHTY impressive.



I parked that hole this year during the Worlds round with a Tsunami. Into a slight headwind :eek: With a bunch of Super Pros standing around. Including Timmy Gill and Cam Todd :p :D

Was that your putt for 3 or 4??? :eek:

I just said i was parked i didnt say i made the putt :eek:

hillarious.

It was for 2

How big of a putt was it???

50 feet or so....it was a jump putt....

i seem to remember making my putt for two on that hole.

i seem to remember making my putt for two on that hole.



What place did you finish again??? :eek:

i don't remember

I guarantee Mike can throw it farther than you, "pimp", so dont worry about it...btw pimp, who won the Worlds distance competition for ams?

I think Mike did but by the way if you havent heard. DISTANCE DONT MEAN ***** unless you got other game to back it up, and from what i have heard there is not accuracy or a putt to back up those 535 ft drives.

By the way if he can throw so far he should have shot well at DMACC right??? What did Mike end up shooting there??? I could have sworn there were only a couple people who shot under par. Can you tell me who they are and if ur boy Mike was one of them???

Could you tell me who finished top 25 in the world??? Even after they shot a combined 21 over for 2 rounds at Walnut Ridge :eek:

Wait. Hang on a second. Arent you guys FROM Iowa??? Wouldnt that mean you could play the Worlds courses ALL YEAR LONG :eek: That would be a HUGE ADVANTAGE. You guys must have done really well being able to practice all year long. What places did you guys finish in anyway???

Sure i live in iowa, but not in Des Moines. So I don't get to play those courses all the time. as far as DMACC I shot 58 both times. And it wasn't the long holes that got me...

LOL. Even after your miraculous Worlds rounds you are still only a 930 rated player like me and Mike. Apparently your only claim to fame is that you can throw far, but Mike can throw farther than you, so he has you beat in the best part of your game. You may have finished well at Worlds, but out of ALL the tournaments you played, did you even win a sanctioned tournament? I know i won a few. And dont blame it on being hungover at tournaments, because I also was at about every single one. I also played my worst rounds ever at all my home courses during Worlds for some reason, and if i could have each of them back, I would. Also, notice the non-use of the smiley faces?

LOL. Even after your miraculous Worlds rounds you are still only a 930 rated player like me and Mike. <font color="red"> Funny you call them miraculous. You were playing your home courses and couldnt even shoot good rounds. I was playing 10 hours from home and i played SMART for the first time all year. Those rounds werent flukes or miraculous. You cant just get hot for a week straight. </font> Apparently your only claim to fame is that you can throw far, but Mike can throw farther than you, so he has you beat in the best part of your game. <font color="red"> I dont same thats my claim to fame. I just say i can throw far. Who cares if Mike can throw further then i can. I SURE AS HE$L DONT. Cuz i know in the long run it wont mean anything. </font> You may have finished well at Worlds, but out of ALL the tournaments you played, did you even win a sanctioned tournament? I know i won a few. <font color="red"> You won 1 intermediate tournament and 1 advanced tournament. The advanced tourny had 6 players in it and the Intermediate tourney had 2. You and one other guy. BIG DEAL. Look out FlyingHigh beat 6 people on his home courses. I placed 5th at DGLO out of 77 advanced players. I finished 10th at Brent Hambrick out of 33 players. 4th at Firelands open out of 27 players. 2nd at Northern Waters series out of 20 guys. Lost first in a playoff. Those tournaments right there are better then your 2 wins. I got more points at DGLO then you got at ALL 9 of your tournaments :eek: </font> And dont blame it on being hungover at tournaments, because I also was at about every single one. <font color="red"> Doesnt matter what you were. I know i play better when im not hung over so i can blame it on whatever i want </font> I also played my worst rounds ever at all my home courses during Worlds for some reason, and if i could have each of them back, I would. Also, notice the non-use of the smiley faces? <font color="red"> Is this supposed to scare me or something??? </font>




Come back when you want to talk smack and actually have something to back it up with. Oh by the way saying someone else throws farther then i do means nothing. Talk about your own game or dont talk smack at all :mad:

OH MY, a 930 rated player just scared the bejesus out of me! I will now bow down to the amateur disc golf God, Steve Mills!

I would love to challenge you head to head. Will you be at Bowling Green in April?

That was original. By the way its 934 :mad:

my first was a 426'-hole 10 f at Morley, with Ryan Gwillim as a witness.



Almost got it again last Friday, smashed the basket, then fell right below...Right after Rhett and Kona asked me if I thought I was ever going to get it again :D

I saw Shawn Sinclair park that hole from the longs....which I beleive is close to 600'. Its no ace, but it was MIGHTY impressive.

Ohhh pretty impressive . . . seems to me I remember watching an advanced women make her putt on that hole for a 2 during overtime in a sudden death playoff from the long tees. So that kinda putts all of you to shame :)

she picked up a stroke on me

When is the Pimp going to get his own section on the message board for all of his smack talk threads? This is a much bigger priority than that moderation talk on those other threads. :D

The old guys from Texas could have their smack talk section, the NC guys theirs, and Pimp could have his. That way there wouldn't be any confusion on whether the thread was talking about 400'+ aces, or if Pimp could ace a 500' uphill hole.

the NC guys theirs



this already IS our message board.......

No, it's OUR message board..

Remember a 400'+ ace has to have like 430' in distance, because it has to be pin high, moving fast, before a skip...

What are you talking about, skip? All air.

DVINCENT onlt needs 426 foot distance to ace a 426 foot hole. I didn't see the ace, but I did a disc sitting in head-banger position that was almost a second ace on that pin. It helixed perfectly, I was told, and just dropped out of the sky at the pin.

That's an ace that is a good shot: Either a 1 or a drop in 2. :)

Yeah, you and Kona were on 6's tee when I hit basket...Almost flipped in.

Very cool ace Dave. That is one position at Morley Field I have not aced. I have hit the flag with a DX Valkerie , Hit the side of the basket with a 1.2 Polaris and hit the pole with a Candy Side winder. Kind of strange though. All those disc's were 174grams. I have seen you throw and I would have liked to have been there to congratulate you on a truly remarkable Hole - in - One shot. For those of you who have played this hole , you have to have decent power to get a disc there in the air around trees. That is one hole still on my list to ace someday along with , if this even possible , Hole 16 in the very long position. Over the the wall with turnover and come back Hyzer. Or better yet , just work out with a personal trainer , get super fit , train,train,train ,practice,practice,practice......Throw super monster Hyzer all the way and Ace that bad boy !!!!!!
:eek:
Until then , I just continue to watch killer drives from those who can produce !!! :D
See ya out there , welding plastic into metal :cool:

Very cool ace Dave. That is one position at Morley Field I have not aced.



No one else has ever aced it /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif...And with the storm knocking the tree from 13 onto the pin setting, I don't think we'll have a chance for a long time :eek:

Gary, you were at the last Mr. Big Putts in Abilene '01 right? Didn't Robert Hebert hit a 450' ace on #1 from the alternate tee? Big anny shot?

Sorry, but i have to post this under this thread also because it was a SWEET shot, by far my best ever. Ok, it wasnt an ace, but it chained out of the basket at WaterWorks in KC, #14, 485', long position. You can look at the hole @ www.playdg.com. (http://www.playdg.com.)

WOW!! The one closest to the road? WOW!!
Hope you stayed in bounds and got your bird...

Yup, the position just left of that big tree. It ended up right by the basket. Then i threw a second shot to see if i could get close again and it went OVER the road lol.

Holy Smoke! What discs didja throw? That's a beautiful hole...especially when the trees have no leaves!

Yes, that is a pretty hole. The chain out disc was a 172 ProLine Beast, the second was a new ProLine Orc, also 172. Both shots were line drive flex shots. Ended up shooting a 4 under with 3 bogeys, hope to make it down there again for the KCWO!

Just got another 400'+ ace on Tuesday. Hole 13 at Emerald Isle 414'...

Hyzerflip with my candy paint Tsunami.

Theres a course here in Muskogee, OKla with a hole alil over 500', I hit the chains for an ace and spit out!!! ALthough I did collect quite a bit of cash during a skins match...

Hell yeah...That would have been a sick ace.

My friend Jimmy West aced hole 20 at Sunset Park for $346 at a weekly doubles event. 407 feet with an O.B. gulley right in front of the basket. Flat ground, if anything slightly uphill. His first ace, Red Quarter K.

Why didn't he play Wrightwood?

It was spur of the moment that he came with me. My other friend flaked, and he stepped up. He would have played Adv. if he knew he was going to go. BIG ARM, if he concentrates a little more on other aspects, he will be a force.

Sorry, I wasn't watching the thread.

I think I was on the card behind that ace when it was hit, but don't remember who hit it.

Tell Jimmy wasssup from the 6|9...

I've aced a 67' Hole at Fewell Park, only 333' more to go!

Marc "Tiger Woods" Estenfelder (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=13425) aced old hole 18 (now it is hole #24) -- 519 feet -- at Banklick Woods (http://www.cincinnatidiscgolf.com/courses/banklick_woods.htm) but i don't believe it was in a tournament.

Anything over 500 is Huge !!!!! :D

Yeah Marc can crush but this hole doesn't play that long. I've neary aced it and I've over shot it several times. I have a few friends that only throw max D around 380, that park it. And by the way when Marc hit it he threw a monster and it was in the dark. (NO JOKE)

Young gun Chris E. banged the 440' hole 16 at De LaVeaga a couple of weeks ago with a champion TeeBird. As far as anyone knows it's the only ace on that hole in the courses long history.

Okay, here is such an incredible bunch of BS that I'm still counting it!

Here's the hole, #10 at Kewaunee Winter Park. 436', 100' elevation drop. Pics from just in front of the tee and from below.

I threw a long drawn anhyzer along the left tree line with my BLOWFLY (that's right, I said it). I used to have a grade stake out the top of the basket pole. The blowfly keeps cutting in at the basket, hits and breaks the grade stake, and sits on top of the Discatcher. To me, that's all ace baby. You know, when your disc is in a bush 4 feet off the ground, you bring it directly down below where it hung - well, on the way directly below the top of the basket, I happened to catch the chains and the basket. Seems justifible to me. If I boulder were directly below the bush you landed in, you'd put your disc on that rock, not under it. If wedging a disc in the outside of the basket counts, the top should definitely count too, it's more difficult to make it stick there! Time for a rule change!

I suppose you could argue that my grade stake was a foreign object, not part of the basket, and unfairly contributed. But if you skip off a rock into the basket it still counts. What does the PDGA say about banging off a number plate, or those new wind speed flags, and into the basket?

DROT ain't in, stake or no stake. Nice deuce!

Nah, I'm still counting it, shamefully though, and with caviot. When the PDGA finally decides to change the stupid rule, then I'll feel righteous.

Yeah Marc can crush but this hole doesn't play that long. I've neary aced it and I've over shot it several times. I have a few friends that only throw max D around 380, that park it. And by the way when Marc hit it he threw a monster and it was in the dark. (NO JOKE)



500' is the tee sign distance on that hole too. And that distance probably is rolled along the ground which slopes down off the tee box. Granted the Tee-to-Pin elevation change is near zero, I think the actual distance is closer to 450'. It is a huck, and with the elevation slope a righthanded thrower has the disadvantage of landing with that lake to the left.

A spotter at '06 Am Worlds said I went right over the basket (by less then a 12 inches) off my tee shot on hole #16 at Haikey Creek Park. It is a 458ft flat tunnel shot with a very slight s-curve to the fairway. Fairway is approximately 50ft wide. I banged chains on a 412' hole at my original home course.

Now where I live there isn't a 400'+ hole for at least 2 hours.

Hole 16 at hakiey creek is not 458 feet. its around 370. I play thier around 5 times a week.

I hit one pretty close to 400 feet on hole 15 at Bicentenial in Crowley Texas for $564.

Now where I live there isn't a 400'+ hole for at least 2 hours.



don't you live in nova? we've got LOTS of 400+ holes an hour away in spotsylvania. (9 at Loriella, 3 on grange sunny, 1 on grange dark, 11 at hawk hollow) i believe only one of them has been aced .(#1 at hawk hollow 429 feet-aced twice)

i think you mean grange 1 sunny, grange 1 dark is like 280 max, and hole 3 is over 400 on the sunny? hmmmmm

no, i mean there are 3 holes on sunnyside longer than 400 (#'s 1,10,11), 1 hole on dark side (#7-soon to be another as hole 13 will be lengthened), 9 holes on loriella long, and 11 holes at hawk hollow.

got cha now, how long is hole 2 on the darkside?

First hole I played of the first Oregon series tournament this year was the 403' #11 at Tom Pearce.
Dave Munk from Solomon added a free pair of shoes to the ace pot.
I step up and throw my first warm-up shot into the basket. Champion Eagle on a hyzer.
If I had only waited five more minutes! (and/or duplicated the ace throw when it counted in round...)

What's your longest tourney ace? I hit one about 330' in a tourney a couple of years ago.

On Saturday in the Iron Lion Open at Eastern Avenue Park (Davenport, IA), I saw Nikko put a drive some 452 or 453 feet into the basket for an ace. It was a completely flat shot, which made it even more impressive. Best ace I have ever seen.

Man, that's just a putt for Niko...
