When will it happen to Drake???

[Parkntwoputt]

Yep again.

I am making this the official tell Jeremy Drake about your ace stories so that he can grumble about not getting one yet, but he has hit just about every basket at George Ward.

Jeremy, you knew about my tomohawk ace at Worlds....

Well today during a doubles league on the north side of DC, I stepped up to a ~275ft hole that is perfect for my flippy buzzz. Well, the wind picked up left to right and I decided to switch to the more stable buzzz.

That disc did the sweetest s-curve you have seen and it faded perfectly into the basket, making the chains move no harder then a solid putt.

Yep, I hit Ace #7, which makes 5 for this calendar year alone. I was actually in the ace pot, but because the $330 ace was hit last week (by my partner for tonights round) mine was only worth $26.

How many aces do you have Drake?

[Sivadenyaw]

*****Brutal******

["Tiger"]

lol, you're an ass... and congrats :cool:

[Parkntwoputt]

Yeah thats true, but funny is funny.

[Parkntwoputt]

Alright, time to revitalize this thread.

I texted Jeremy the moment it happened, because the only other people around was a young family feeding the ducks, but they did give me a good round of applause and asked "Is that what your supposed to do?".

Today I hit ace #8. It was a slight uphill (5ft) 264ft straight shot. It was my second round ever on this course, and as I step up to hole #1, I take out my stable buzz and throw an easy-smooth-wide hyzer shot, and the disc just settles into the chains like a good putt. I just started laughing!

It had been a while since my last ace, the last one was at sea level and this one happened to be at 5400ft.

Maybe someday Jeremy will get his ace.

[mpetre]

Congrats on another Kris, have you met many golfers since getting to CO? Jeremy will be the first to win worlds without ever having an ace, now that would be quite an accomplishment.

["Tiger"]

yeah, I got the message, I was just busy and forgot to call you. Congrats :cool:

[willsfc]

I haven't gotten an ace either :( Gotten close though.

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

I heard an ace last night, John Kundt aced #13 at the Athens Sportsplex to claim a $149 ace pot. I was just across the road and just turned around before he threw. He was a little excited.

[Greg T]

Speaking of Aces, any of you heard of this guy? If I am behind the times on the subject, please excuse the noob. Seems pretty amazing though.

http://www.cubbysdiscgolfworld.blogspot.com/

[Justin L]

yeah, I see this guys videos on youtube all the time. Apparently he goes out to his course (short course, mostly 200'ish holes) sets up his camera, and throws until he gets an ace. :rolleyes:

I guess we all have our hobbies :)

[Justin L]

Well Jeremy, just to let you know, if you can manage to just barely knick the tree and come in at about a 45 degree angle #4 is ripe for the picking...haha :eek:. Thanks to Jebb for being my witness! :D

["Tiger"]

lol, nice :cool:

[willsfc]

Had my first ace today, Hole 14 (top to B Pin) at Veterans Park in Florence,AL, I threw a 180g 2007 ice bowl rock and it turned over and hit a tree limb and went right into the basket. Had 3 witnesses to it, and it was during the sunday doubles

Best Part, Is i won the $100 Ace Pot :D

and yea we did win doubles, -10

[Thomas M]

Congratulations! That must be a local route off the limb.

[BAUHAUS]

I aced "B" at G.W. on Memorial Day with two solid witnesses in the form of "The Possum" and Micheal Davis. This is number 2, with the first being #6 at the right pin placement, also at G.W. :D

[Justin L]

Awesome Chris, that's a sick ace!

[Thomas M]

It was money the whole way down.

[Jebb]

and you didn't even call me to gloat! ;)

["Tiger"]

thats a huge ace, congrats :D

[Sivadenyaw]

It was a beautiful shot. Glad I got to see it.

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

Still zero for Drake?

I got my fourth this afternoon, #6 at Athens State University. Brand new Ontario Roc, first round I had played with it. I think I will keep an O Roc in my bag, straight flyer brand new.

[drdisc]

Great shot Bill. Congrats. Hear that course get a lot of play.

[tahoeturk]

Ok, I'm thrilled for all the aces. The only thing nicer than watching one is throwing one....I guess. After almost 25 years playing the game...not a one. I've clanked on rims chains and other 'parts' of baskets and no luck. I keep thinking the old saying makes sense...you know...even a blind hog and all that. I guess I'm more like the chimp with a typewriter who'll never write a sonnet.

I just keeps a throwin' and dreamin'.

Art #5015

[Hilltopper]

Couldn't resist bringing this thread back up. I aced 13 at Hartselle today with a thumber. Its a sad day when I have more aces than somebody.

Josh

["Tiger"]

I don't know which part is sadder... the ace or the fact that it was done with a thumber (no offense josh) :cool:

[drdisc]

Good going Josh. Did Marla see it?

[Hilltopper]

No, she had to work. Are you looking for independent corroboration? :D

Josh

[Justin L]

lol, he needs to see this one in writing...

/oh...congrats! How many is that for you?

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

Michael Smith aced #6 at ASU earlier this year w/ a thumber that hit the ground then bounced in.

I hate I turned around yesterday Josh, I was headed to Hartselle and ran into a flood and turned around.

[Hilltopper]

That makes 2. One at AUM and one at Hartselle.

Josh

6 at ASU is a great thumber hole! I almost got it twice the last time I played there.

[MAJ DG]

I got so fed up with trying to figure out the discraft disc from last year's ace race that I started throwing tomahawks and had my throw on hole five at GW (naturally shortened for the AR) skip up and hit chains. Didn't stay in, though.. :(

[Justin L]

Seems like i was playing with you that round....hi-larious

[auburnsoccerdude]

Almost got my first four aces this weekend at Trussville. First one was whole two, threw my cobra a little anhyzer and it took a little s-curve and bounced off a tree hit the basket and popped out! Second was whole two also, same thing but hit a tree to the right of the whole and popped left, nearly missing. Third was whole 4, threw my gator through the gap at the right, it dove hard and hit the top. Fourth was hole 6 threw my Beast wide right and very high and hard, thought it would hang up but the wind helped a little bit and it ended up hitting bottom of the pin...BUMMER!

[Parkntwoputt]

I love this thread.

I am so glad I started it. I am sure Drake is too!:D

[drdisc]

Kris, how is the new job?

[BAUHAUS]

3rd ACE!!!!!! happened today!!!!! 072507 GW #17 (short right) In all honesty, it was my second shot.... Bill T wanted to try out a forehand shot after our intital shots-- I was set up for duece (rhbh), so I also decided to try the flick shot -----WHAMMO!!!!!!!!!! Three witnesses and my second time ever throwing a forehand shot from the tee!!!!!:cool:

[Justin L]

Congrats man! I bet you'll start working on that forehand more now..haha.

[Thomas M]

Nice job BIG DOG! Way to go, wish I'd have seen it.

T

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

Makes me wish I had played with yall yest. It would have been great to see, Ive never seen a forhand ace. Such is life.........

[drdisc]

Way to go Chris. Now you know you can do it. !!!

[kidkinetix]

predicting an ace today...

[Justin L]

predicting an ace today...

you mean the card you're going to draw in doubles? :)

[kidkinetix]

LOL, to bad we get rained out, Jeremy/Justin & David/Myself were tied
@ -6 w/ 5 holes left

[MAJ DG]

Just bumping this thread ... :D ... although I got to tell Jeremy about it in person. Hole six in the right position. Couldn't see it go in, but the sound of the chains was unmistakable. (although, I wasn't sure about it till I was about 40' from the basket and coould see it lying flat in the bottom of the basket. :p I was long overdue.

[Thomas M]

Blind is a nice one Richard. Cangrates.

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

Which way did you go around that first tree Richard?

[IndyJonez]

the only other people around was a young family feeding the ducks, but they did give me a good round of applause and asked "Is that what your supposed to do?".

This reminded me of when I asked 'Worm' when his first ace happened.

He was at some course in Mobile, but anyways says he was teeing off on hole 1 and before he tee'd a family in a minivan was getting out and had these big wham-o frisbees, a father a mother and their two children. The family had never played disc golf and wanted to give it a shot, they step up to watch mike throw his first shot, he tees....*ChInG*!

Father asks, wow is that all you have to do?

LoL, it's more humorous to hear him tell it himself...:D

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

Today in Athens, Ed Cartier hit his second ace of the year during Sunday doubles. He has only played doubles the two times he aced. Ace pots paid $426 & $34.

["Tiger"]

can we change the title of this thread ;). Oh, for all those interested... in hartselle for the ice bowl I hit the bottom of the cage on 18, then proceded to clip chains on 13 at GW yesterday. Just thought I'd update everyone.

[Justin L]

can we change the title of this thread ;).

No....not until it happens. :)

[drdisc]

Close, but.........no cigar!!!!!

[Crono]

I want an ace... :(

["Tiger"]

ha, join the club :cool:

[scraps]

The new player Mike (young guy that moved up from Tampa) has been playing like 3 weeks. He hit an ace on 15 at GW just the other day.

Just thought I'd share. :)

[Crono]

Good grief I've been playing 8 months. That isn't too long but three weeks?

[ww1]

D

Tell Worm I said Whassuupp. Also, tell him to get his butt back to Mobile every once in a while.


BTW, hit #18 at South Alabama during the Sunday toss for a cool $100. A Star Roc skip shot.

#26 overall

[Justin L]

I love it when the out of towners get involved in the WWIHTD thread. We should have some WWIHTD arm bands made up.

[ww1]

I found it truly amazing someone of his playing prowess hasn't hit one yet. It's not like GW is super long or anything. :D

[Justin L]

See it's a testament TO his skill. With GW being as short as it is if you hit an ace then you've obviously overthrown the hole. haha

[ww1]

Good point

["Tiger"]

:cool:lol, well for those who don't know yes I've hit most baskets out there with the exceptions of: 5 mid and long, 7 long, 9 mid and long, 11 mid and long, 12 mid, 14 long (new spot), E, 18 long. Many holes I've hit multiple times. Some of my favorites include across the creek, 15 across the creek, and 10 short. And I think you're right Justin... I play for the 30 ft circle, not the pin

[Cotton Pickin' Bill]

Are you still at zero, Jeremy?

You might want to comment on this thread. He thinks that he might be the highest rated player(971) with no aces.

http://www.pdga.com/msgboard/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=832584&an=0&page=0&gonew=1#UNREAD

In other ace news, Greg Carter aced #7 at the Sportsplex (long tee,short pin) today for his second ace of the weekend.

["Tiger"]

yep... still at zero. I never get on the PDGA forums but I think I may just have to comment on this one ;)

[drdisc]

Lot's of "No Aces", can mean lots of great birdies!

[Hilltopper]

Bump for Leigh Ann.

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

thanks for finding the thread josh. I didnt realize that it was up front. :cool::D:cool::eek::D:eek::coolI probably never get another but btw thanks to detroit bill for his ace today and dinner tonight.:eek::eek::eek:

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV16ZH1WVQI

Apparently I am not the only one who likes that word.
BTW: this is R rated so beware

[james blanchard]

Nice ace Richard Brown on saturdays budda round, what a perfect line on hole 4

[MAJ DG]

Thanks, and I hear that there was a fantastic skip ace hit on 7 during doubles.

[drdisc]

John Howerton hit the wack skip ace. Tiger's friend Eric hit "F" today. He had one of the surveyor men sign it. He was by himself.

[MAJ DG]

I just hit my fifth right on the heels of my fourth. WooHoo! About two hours ago, I hit Blue Course #3 (think #7 at T,ville. only a little shorter - tee sign said 228 feet) at Burns Park in Little Rock. WooHoo!

[Jebb]

I'm a little overdue for my 5th :p

at least the last one was a tourney ace.

["Tiger"]

overdue for your 5th huh :p (insert profane insult here) :D

[Thomas M]

Thats how we treat out of towners who make the effort. Congrates Richard.

For everyone else Richard also hit a fairway ace, birdied #1 on the Blue course which is a mean woods hole. I have taken several 6's on this hole and have not seen anyone close to birdieing it. Possibly more impressive that the ace. Thanks for calling Richard.

[i2rt]

Hate to bring this up again BUT...

Michael Davis got an Ace on #7 Monday.

AND

I got an Ace on #18 today.

[Justin L]

I love it when this thread gets bumped! :)

#7? Skip? That's strong!

Congrats on #18 Bill! Great going away present!

[jburganw]

Nice... Acehole!!! ha

["Tiger"]

In the immortal words of one of the best characters on tv... "screw you guys, I'm goin home!"

Well done guys. How many times is that on 18 for you Bill? At least twice.

[BAUHAUS]

:cool:I aced G.W. #4 on 2/20/09 with a skip using a 171gr. Groove.:cool:

[Jebb]

Chris, you forgot to mention it was a night golf ace! Even cooler!

["Tiger"]

dammit... I hate you all :cool:

[willsfc]

I guess I'll add i aced hole 16 at veterans today, skipped up into a tree, then to the right into the basket..
2nd time i've aced that one.. (it's not that hard)

No witnesses though :\

[selwonk nitsuj]

YAY I WANT IN...Well since my disc golf carrier started a year ago i have managed to get 3 aces at the gDub. alternate hole E sidearm(eesh nailbiter) 17short right sidearm (dinker) and finally a sweet backhand shot which seemed to hover about 2 inches from the ground finally making it over the hill and crashing 16's middle straight spot..(that was the best one) It's ok Jeremy i'm sure your first will be sick. But it will probably be on one of your crazy safaris and want count....hehe 9's teepad to the practice basket perhaps?? i can see it flying skipping once into a roll then a little more skippage back into a roll and then right before it starts to fall over somewhere around the ace race line (:))a huge earthquake occurs and the basket falls into the center of the earth with the Drake's disc oddly enough right behind it and right before the basket it engulfed by the liquid MAGMA the disc falls out of the underworld sky and into the chains. Yup one of these days bud. :p:p:p:p:p

[twan2420]

Knowles I hope Im there to see that ace !!!!!! LMAO

[Justin L]

I saw Knowles _almost_ 4th ace on #19 yesterday in Athens!

["Tiger"]

I'm going for #5... off the tree

[willsfc]

I saw Knowles _almost_ 4th ace on #19 yesterday in Athens!

I guess you didn't see me almost hit 2 holes :P, I hit basket on 1 and 5

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

btw drake...i would put down a c note to the first one who would bet me you are not going to get one this year.....you are soooo overdue.

[MAJ DG]

No ace at doubles, yesterday. But while my group was standing on #1's tee pad, we heard a huge WHOOP and then an AWWW from the group that was starting out on #10 (John slammed in and out of the chains). I followed that up less than 60 seconds later with my own near-ace that crashed into the top ring. Two almost-aces back-to-back. :p

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

KERDG (maybe) dude you were SOOOO close on 1.....the 2 closes almost aces i have ever heard;)

[jburganw]

playing 400-700 foot safari holes is not getting anyone an easy ace. the normal 175-400holes should give an easy ace run.

[ChrisP.]

There's no such thing as an "easy" ace! :)

[twan2420]

Well Drake not only did I get 10 with you the other day but today I hit hole 8 nothing but air and chain. Wish you could have seen it !! ;)

["Tiger"]

Congrats. do me a favor... write "F That" on it and I'll come sign it :cool:

[drdisc]

The clock is ticking.

["Tiger"]

The clock is ticking.

yeah I'm more concerned about passing boards right now. Probably won't see me much over the next few weeks ;)

[charles plumber]

just got my second ace at municipal park in mobile. hole 5 with a skip ace with an xcal. 310 feet.

[Nesta]

I have 5 and I suck. My last was my favorite, a skip in forehand at GW, hole 18. Ho hum, another ace.

[drdisc]

Way to go, Charles. We miss you up here.

[jburganw]

Drake come on man!!! just got done bang'n my teebird off the pad on #13 ... when will you hit an ACE? oh i shot -10

["Tiger"]

well considering A) I don't play very often any more and B) I usually play an extended course... it may be a while. But like I always say, I'm not too concerned about aces... I prefer to get lots of birdies ;)

[twan2420]

I will take birds all day also Drake but your EARTHQUAKE ACE awaits you man

[selwonk nitsuj]

hah...I thought a felt I trimmer earlier. :D:D:D

[MAJ DG]

Every time I see this thread bumped, I think to myself "Is this the day? Did Tiger finally get an ace?" Then I'm disappointed when I find out "No, today is not the day." :(

[Tim k]

Drake needs to go to trussville with a huge stack of putters and play hole 3 till he hits one :D
its only about a 180ft shot, surely out of 100 throws he could hit at least 1;)

TK

What would we do then? Who out there without an ace is good enough to make us all feel better about our crappy games? I need this Tim. I do. Clearly Drake is better than me at everything he does except getting aces. I'm very bitter. :D

Josh

[Auburndiscdog]

I hate that this post seems to never go away, it's got more lives than a cat. Drake will have the last laugh. I will be calling him Dr. Drake and he will be hearing from me: "your order comes to $8.97, drive around please."

[selwonk nitsuj]

Until Drake hits an ace, this thread is never going away. It has become our official Ace thread just for the pure pleasure of making one of our course pros MISERABLE!! teeeeeeeeeeeeehehehehe

[dnewton]

I know this thread started as a joke to pester Drake, but in my opinion I think that not having any aces is a good thing. If you have ever talked to Dean Tannock about aces he will tell you he has lost count of how many he has. He will also admit that an ace is a bad shot... you didn't mean for it to go in. Therefore, Drake has very few or no bad shots considering he has no aces. What do you gotta say bout that?

["Tiger"]

Therefore, Drake has very few or no bad shots considering he has no aces. What do you gotta say bout that?

I wouldn't go quite that far to say I don't have ANY bad shots... but Its rare I don't hit a fairway and have a decent look at a putt ;)

[drdisc]

I played Brahan Springs for years. I quit counting. The only one I remember from tourney play was the second Worlds in Charlotte. After the Ace, I coud not calm down for about 6 holes. My competiton was hitting the birds while I pared out. He beat me. I hate to hit an Ace!

[selwonk nitsuj]

Dan I really think it depends on the hole itself. That is like saying an ace run on 15(island) is a bad shot. There are a great deal of holes out there that have the same thing. I do agree that a dead on air shot ace in most situations is a bad shot. A skip ace is probably next in line as far as a good shot. Then there always are those bank shot aces that are just wacky luck.

[bazkitcase5]

and some holes have a back stop of some sort where you can run at them without fear

hole 16 in the straight position comes to mind

[MAJ DG]

Danny,

Drake has nothing to worry about.

Besides, he's a good sport about this thread. He's a good sport in general. He knows that any one of us with an ace that is not the golfer that he is (speaking for myself, with six aces) would trade them all to have his skills. My aces have never gotten me anything. Except a little pride which can't buy a cup of coffee.

[25322]

Got two aces to my credit. Both would have been drop in birdies though so they weren't really bad shots. First was about 4 years ago, hole 8 at Brahan Springs during a warm up before doubles, I threw a spike hyzer intending for it to hit right at the basket, and well it hit in the basket, but with the angle it woudl have been 2 feet away if it hit the ground nearby. The second was during the ice bowl last year. Hole 12 at Brahan Springs, skip ace that happened to land in the basket. I threw it out to the right intended to skip it left to the basket and instead of falling next to it, it fell in. But again the disc woudln't have skipped any farther thanks to the headwind that lifted it up and dropped it almost straight down. I think Matt Ambrose was more excited then I was hehe and thanks to Matt for not playing the dirty mulligan on it, I know he still had one at that time.

[Jebb]

Awesome, hole 8 at Brahan was also my first ace! Witnessed by Michael Davis and Sam Hefley.

Its probably somewhere earlier in the thread, but Drake witnessed my 2nd one at AUM hole 10 :)

Third one people argue doesnt count but I say pfffft, it was about 180ft! 2007 Ace Race at Trussville hole 8. Michael Davis was with me again for this one.

Fourth one was the sweetest yet, in a tournament at Lenora Park in Georgia, hole 17. Howerton saw this one from another hole during the tourney.

People are right, Ace Race aces don't count! :p (btw, I've got two)

[Jebb]

Then perhaps they shouldn't call it the ACE race ;)

[MAJ DG]

The should call it "The Long Approach Midrange Race". :D

[25322]

Some of the ace race events use the normal holes. Like Brahan here, there are several holes that get played straight up the normal way. I'd say that regardless those are aces. All the other shortened ones I would list as a caveat that they were ace race aces.

[drdisc]

If 50 or 60 players are all throwing at the same target and you make the hole in one, yes sir , you got an Ace. They did not. It's the same for everyone. In the Ace Race you are going for it on purpose. Most Aces are accidents in normal play.

[Kjazz]

The should call it "The Long Approach Midrange Race". :D

I agree. I have two aces, and I also have two "ace race" aces. I say that I have two aces, not four. I consider the ace race aces as extremely lucky upshots. :)

[jburganw]

:Dwow didnt even use my own disc and got an ace!!! haha sorry dude... it was "A" on the back six--- it was a putter also:D gateway at that haha

[drdisc]

The "Future" is back!

[jburganw]

yes sir..... 6/20/09:p

[Jebb]

Congrats to both Rick Rumsey and Josh Maynor for hitting aces at Sunday Doubles on June 7 2009 to split the $260 ace pot.

Sorry I had the cashbox and left for the beach without passing it on, will get you guys each $130 asap.

[Auburndiscdog]

I cry for the Drake everytime I see this thread. Congrats on the aces guys. Which ones did they ace? By the way, my only ace was in an ace race and I am clinging to the fact that an ace is an ace. Besides during an ace race you are actually trying for an ace.

[drdisc]

I think it was "A"?

[charles plumber]

i just hit again! Hole 11 at fairhope's volanta park during my third round of the day. 220' tunnel shot. dead straight. probably one of the prettiest throws i've ever thrown.

[mistersippi]

ya know every time i see this thread i think, did jeremy finally hit it, but at this point i almost would be sad bc this has to be the oldest continuous thread on the forum. jeremy your lack of the best bad shot or worst good shot brings all the rest of us mere mortals together in our ability to be lucky rather than good. q:;-)

[drdisc]

PJ hit "D" yesterday.

[selwonk nitsuj]

Marsh hit 13 in league yesterday.

[selwonk nitsuj]

A quick update....around 2pm today i witnessed Danny Newtron hit number 1 long at Gdub with an Eco Destroyer. First throw in a week. It was so SWEET!!!!

[twan2420]

Marsh hit ten the other day also hes on FIRE !! 13 long or short???

[drdisc]

Short..........

[Jebb]

Short..........
mid actually

[selwonk nitsuj]

Congrats to Jose Senior for hitting his FIRST ACE on hole 12(middle positions). The look on his face was priceless. AWESOME BRO!!:eek::eek::eek:

[drdisc]

Too bad for Jose Jr..!!!

[josetelmont]

Yesterday my Dad hit his first ace on hole 12 at GW. I thought it was going to be hard to live with him remaiding me about it every day. Today at legue i stepped up to the same tee with my star aviar and hit my first ace the same way my Dad did. What are the chances for that to happen. I guess i just made my stay here with my Dad a bit easier since he can't rub in my face he got an ace and i didn't. Making the same ace that my dad made the day before, it just makes it that more fun.

[charles plumber]

what are the odds??? congratulations to both of you.

[selwonk nitsuj]

That is friken sweet guys!! That Jeremy kid hit one yet?? Gah...:D

["Tiger"]

thats pretty sweet. congrats to both of you :cool:

[Justin L]

No doubt....awesome story you'll always be able to tell!

[jburganw]

it will never happen:eek:

[jburganw]

hA! get em' DRakE

[charles plumber]

first ace at george ward!!! i just tagged 14 with a lightweight champ teebird. no witnesses, except some non discgolfers in the park. fourth one this year, so i wasn't too worried about it.

[drdisc]

That happened last summer and the thrower had the guys working on the new sidewalk sign it. Good going, that is a tricky shot.

["Tiger"]

there sure have been a lot of aces lately :p

[drdisc]

Must be the heat!

[Jebb]

Got my 5th ace today in league, hit 18 A position.

edit: with a DGA Shockwave. GREAT midrange.

[drdisc]

Backhand straight down the middle?

[Jebb]

Yeah, dead line. Was a perfectly flat throw (disc is beat in slightly).

[drdisc]

Great shot!

[charles plumber]

big justin and i got up at 6:30 this morning to play a few rounds at montevallo. first hole, first round, i step up and slam a champ teebird into the basket on one. fifth ace this year, and lots of disc golfing to go.

I got my first black ace today. It was a sweet hyser shot off the 15's long tee at Athens Sportsplex smack dab into 14's raised basket. I took an awesome circle 5 baby!

Does this count toward my Ace Cycle (one tommy, one thumber, one sidearm, and one back hand.) I've got the thumber and sidearm already. It would be awesome if I could get the backhand taken care of.

Well, since tommy's and thumbers aren't real golf shots either I guess you can count a black ace ;)

[drdisc]

The "Tommy" is probably an upside down sidearm. The "Thumber" is probably an upside down "Hooked Thumber". Just a few of Josh's "speciality" shots.

Tom, I know exactly what both of those shots are. And they are not specialty shots. He throws them from the tee regularly, no matter what the design of the hole. More than anything I was just ribbing him about throwing aesthetically mundane and unskilled shots ;)

now thats not a nice way to talk to people who have aces. ;)

Thanks John.

[jamessalvant]

["Tiger"]

is there another thread that is as long as this one? I think not :p

...btw, hit the bottom of B today.

[mistersippi]

jeremy i believe u r def the owner of the longest thread on the web site...it will almost be sad when u finlly hit that overthrown shot and get one. i remember how excited i was to be able to put my ace on ur thread. it should be considered a big compliment to your mega skills my brother!!

[twan2420]

Thats only one point Drake . Its also a great shot though!! :p

[drdisc]

Great shot James. Off to the right side, hyzer smack dab in the middle.

[Fallenrock]

Congratulations James, and welcome back to Birmingham.

[charles plumber]

sunday i hit my first out of state ace. hole number 16 at the palms at blue angel park in pensacola florida. hanging basket, with all of my mobile buds in attendance. i think this is my favorite one.

[Hilltopper]

Swinging basket. Bah, even I think that's cheesy and I had my group sign my disc after my black ace.

Jeremy, maybe you should go on a quest like Rick Reilly did to get your ace.

Bump to say that I hit my 6th ace last night on hole 12 (with the same DGA shockwave I hit hole 18 with back on Jul 15). Skipped it in. Ended up -6 for the round.

[drdisc]

Great shot.
Just as a funny, one of my students teed off on 10 and hit the basket ......
on 18!

I guess that would be called Black Metal so he pays everyone in the group $1.:D

[drdisc]

Justin Knowles hits "D" in Doubles today. Ace Pot rumored to be at $500?

["Tiger"]

ya know the amazing thing about this thread is that its one of the only ones that is recycled regularly. It just won't die. Well done knowlesy :cool:

[drdisc]

There is only one way to kill this thread. WE are pulling for you. Go get that ACE!

[Justin L]

'grats to Knowles!

Yeah, as soon as Drake hits an ace this thread is locked down, he gets the final post. We'll bump it back up to the top once per year on the anniversary of said ace to relive the thrill. :)

[Tony]

Got my first ace on 10/14/09 on tee 1, Felt awesome

[selwonk nitsuj]

Thank ya thank ya. It was funny becuz my buddy Jason was standing 5 feet from the basket and insinuated for me to go ahead and throw. He somehow had his head turned when the disc actually went in. He turned around and was like "WTF"?? It was hilarious. So who's hidden the cashbox??? Free gas for a month!! WOO HOO :p

[Glen Iris Southpaw]

was a hole ahead of knowles and it sounded like it exploded. I second justin l's thought. Perhaps even make it a sticky thread at the first of the chat to inspire all newbies after Jeremy gets that well earned ace.

[drdisc]

Josh Emke hit # 15 today. Left handed through the trees and over the bridge.

[drdisc]

Another one on "E" today. A right handed sidearm. He said that if he had missed, it would have been in the parking lot.

["Tiger"]

About 5:15 this afternoon I step up to hole 12 with my 2003 Overstable Open stamped white demon and throw my standard hyzer float shot which actually felt like it left my hand a little early. After making sure it safely navigated the last possible tree it could have hit before reaching the green I turned away to grab my bag. Shortly thereafter my friend James screams "OH" while throwing both his hands in the air. Assuming I once again hit a basket and popped out I asked just that question to which he stumbled out "no, it stayed in". After getting a look at the basket from the tee I barely see something white sitting in the back of the basket. The curse is over. After 6 years and well over 150 baskets hit in every way possible I can finally say I've got my first ace :cool:

[selwonk nitsuj]

damnit....

hah j/k. Congrats DRAKE!!! I'd say you were way over due. ;)

[Hilltopper]

Congrats Jeremy. Our long national nightmare is over.

Josh

[Justin L]

Amazing......I know I said we're locking this thread with Jeremy as the last post but I think we've got to leave it open for 24 hours for everyone to pass along congrats!

[Jebb]

...or prepare for the apocalypse!!! :p

[drdisc]

Welcome to the ranks. Now you can learn the secret handshake. Good going!!

[WallabeeJosh]

Wow. Congrats man.

but it almost sad that no one can joke about it anymore. Its kinda like something died..
I miss it.

[thediscinmusician]

It's like the Cubs winning the World Series for me, I just never thought it would happen. (Oh yeah it hasn't in over 100 years!) More like Angels in the Outfield. (Except this is Angels in the Woods)

Congrats Jeremy.

[Marc D]

Way to go Jeremy !!!

[ChrisP.]

I soooo wish I could have been there to see your face!! YESSS!!!!!!!!

[i2rt]

Happy to see that every once in awhile you actually throw a bad shot.

Even happier that it turned out so well for you.:)

CONGRATS!!!

[twan2420]

I am just glad it didnt take an earthquake!! CONGRATS!!!!

[MAJ DG]

You know what they say ... "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. :D" Congratulations, Jeremy!
