Okay folks, let's hear about your ace, a friend's ace or the stranger's ace you witnessed.

by **paul_d** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:59 am

I don't have one yet

by **billnchristy** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 1:49 pm

I have seen two at ERP but none at Alex.

by **waruss** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:03 pm

Came close by hitting the pole on 4 just below the basket. Lucky toss for sure! Blue tee, pin position A with a DX Stingray no less.

by **Carl Wms** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 11:16 pm

I saw Prandy skip ace #10

by **brim** » Mon Nov 09, 2009 12:27 pm

I know Raury and $ have aced hole 8; Rob Mc and myself have aced hole 12.

by **mrpbody33** » Mon Nov 09, 2009 1:03 pm

Gomez has an ace on Hole 12 as well.

by **Al 7.0 Olds** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 7:50 pm

Congrats!Andrew Thompson, on the ace on hole 12.Nick Brost saw it too!Who says bad luck happens on Friday the 13th. :mrgreen:

by **keith johnson** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 8:32 pm

Hole 2 today!
Witnesssed by about 40 people right before the 2 minute warning.

by **grease** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 12:45 am

Practice aces don't count.

by **keith johnson** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 7:58 pm

The first throw on a hole is an ace even if it was practice in my opinion.

If the one on 1 would have gone in that hit the band, that would have been invalid as it was the 5th throw on the hole.

CHECK - an ace is when you write a 1 on the score card. Anything else is just a nice story to share over a sandwich at Subway.

by **richardhead** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 10:15 am

Strong words from someone who's never had a practice ace.

by **Funky Bobby J** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 10:42 am

I have had 3 - thank you very much. Never had the discs signed or any of that rot... I have only had one ace though...it haunts me daily...

by **richardhead** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 11:20 am

If you're on a tee pad and you only throw one shot and that shot goes in, it's an Ace and should count. As long as it is witnessed by someone. Casual aces that happen without a witness are INVALID.

Website · by **Wookie** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:46 pm

Casual aces that happen without a witness are INVALID.

so are aces that are called back by the course Marshall for a foot fault.

Sorry Jay, had to do it...

:mrgreen:

by **Funky Bobby J** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 3:30 pm

He probably got the disc signed anyway - INVALID!!!

by **richardhead** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 1:31 pm

If I get an ace on the first throw from any tee and someone is there to witness it, I will get it signed and I will count that as an ace. In the previous mentioned case, I didn't have anyone sign it, because it was not recorded as an official ace. The best part of that story is that I ended up with a 5 on the hole, because my re-tee went into the creek that was 40' from the basket.

by **djester** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 1:39 pm

good putt though!!!!

by **downtownXXking** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 10:35 pm

i got my 2nd ace today at Alexander

hole 13 from the blue pad. a nice forehand flick shot. all air in the bucket. my 2nd time playing the course, it's awesome, and gonna be even more awesome when all those trees grow up.

by **SKELETOR** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 10:10 pm

I got an ace on 9, but it skipped does that count or is their a penality for hitting the ground first. An ace is an ace, from tee pad to basket. otherwise I have about 10+ invalid aces. right now I am at about 40 with 16 of them on hole 16 at redan, what a HOle. I have 3 on one disc( hole 16 redan), can anyone beat that.

by **waruss** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 2:54 am

What is the official process for noting an ace?
:mrgreen:

I have seen the disc signed by the acer and witnesses, the back of the band on the hole signed and dated, and simply a scorecard marked and attested.
:mrgreen:

Is there an agreed upon celebratory ritual of any kind?

by **Cha Ching** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 10:01 am

DON'T ink the basket!!!! :shock:

Maybe some of the local pros could.

Upset Porter took the GSSS09 ADV. Title? I see you plan on taking down the ams again in GSSS10. Good luck with that.

by **djester** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:10 pm

"paper or plastic bags with that?"

(slam) :lol:

by **SKELETOR** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 10:09 pm

ALWAYS BRIGHT PLASTIC, need to resupply my Champ Bosses, too many of them went into lake Alex. This year Porter is going down. Slam

Please never do that! Only a true tard would think that is the way to commemorate an ace (with vandalism).
We get that crap at Deerlick and White Oak and it's not cool at all. I don't know when this started, but could
you imagine Skeletor's 16 aces plus the thousand others on 16 at Redan? Getting the ace disc signed is the proper
way. BTW, not calling YOU a tard, just the chest slappers that sign baskets.

by **Funky Bobby J** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:19 am

So signing the basket for my birdire on hole 2 at ERP was over the line? It was from the blcaks - has anyone else birdied it?

by **grease** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 10:23 am

You beat two trees.

by **Funky Bobby J** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 12:53 pm

That is no way to talk about Gomez and DD.

Sure, last week with a Mini Driver (not the actress)

by **waruss** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 4:51 pm

I like the idea of being able to see the aces that have been made on a particular hole but agree that defacing a basket is not the way to go. Perhaps we could start a thread for each course to be updated by the course web administrator. Maybe, course records could be kept there as well.

by **monsterboys76** » Sat Jan 16, 2010 11:17 pm

in MA a course called Buffumville Lake puts engraved name tags on the post of the tee box signs on the hole that was aced. thats probably the best idea i could give. maybe that could be some thing that the GDGO or ADGO could do for the courses in the area.

by **waruss** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 12:43 am

That sounds like a very classy way to denote the accomplishments. Probably more costly than most courses have budget for.

by **monsterboys76** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 11:52 am

i really don't think it would cost that much. it's like one of those little tags that you put on a trophy. i would think a few $.

If i get an ace, i would be happy to pay for my own tag!!

I know a few people who've aced that hole. I've come close quite a few times but never sealed the deal

No way! Its Un-Aceable!

by **billnchristy** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 10:09 am

River City Nature Park in FL has a board seperate to the main course board (or it could be put on the back of the board at Alex for example). It has 10 pegs (nine holer) with woodworking biscuits with a hole drilled in them. 1 peg holds the blanks and the other 9 represent the holes on the course. It has a sharpie on a string and if you ace a hole you sign and date a biscuit and put it on the proper peg.

Seems like a really good way to keep up with it without vandalizing the course.

by **Steve Adams** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 9:32 pm

Amazing back-2-back drives. #10 at Alex today (4/13/10). Playing with Cliff, Prandy, & Carl Williams. I hit a skip ace with the basket in the back position (360ft) with an R Pro Boss.
Everyone took second drives. My 2nd drive (Pro Katana) skipped down to the pin then rolled and leaned up against the basket post. It was almost directly below the ace. The leaner was facing the post, so my name was visible on the disc as we approached the basket. Carl got a picture of it. Sweet!!!!
Finished the round with a 50.

by **Woodrow** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 9:41 pm

I wanna' see that pic. :roll:

Practicing with Dusty today, I had the 3-spitter from 25'; first one in the chains left, straight through; second high center, down the chains and out; third low right for a sluice down in the basket around the back and pop!; Out the other side. So I moved to 30' and canned it. Dusty putted low, hit my disc sitting in the basket and popped it right out on the ground. There's always balance in nature; You're welcome.

by **Bootsie** » Fri May 07, 2010 6:58 pm

i aced every hole out there the other day. it was a good day :wink:

by **djester** » Fri May 07, 2010 9:24 pm

I was witness to an ace on hole #8 by Clay Holland on Saturday. Comet with a pure line. Sweet!

by **gvan** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:24 am

My son Conor aced #10 yesterday while we were playing a round with Scott and Ari Walker. He threw a Leopard with a sweet turn. It looked "in" all the way down, and fortunately nobody "niced" it.

by **djester** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 9:26 am

Nice !!

by **billnchristy** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 1:20 pm

Read that on Scott's facebook page...WTG Connor. Sweet hole to ace too.

Actually, I did "nice" it (popped out of my mouth before I could think better of it), but it was strong enough not to be affected.
