Single Greatest Throw...

[Bullseye]

We all love to boast just a little bit, so here is a great place for it.

What was your best single throw ever? Be sure to include: course, hole, shot, disc and result.

Feh... easy.

Pier Park
Hole 18 in the long position - my partner and I by the big green box about 240' from the bucket.
RHBH Flat to hyzer
Pro Line Monster

There's been so many...

[Sam]

Right. Pick one and brag about it, Hiatt.

My greatest throw recently was the roller I threw on #1 at Pier last week with my 160g Champ Sidewinder. It landed at about a 40° angle to the ground and somehow stood up, worked its way around the trees and up the hill, ending up 10 feet to the left of the basket (short position, obviously). And I'm not exactly a roller specialist.

Most recently my best shot was on the 1,187 ft hole at Milo McIver. I threw three rollers to park the long position for a tap in birdie. My third roller was probably most impressive. The only time I have had a 4 in the long.

I don't want to talk about it.

One that sticks out in my memory was last year's Lakewood Open, hole 13 in the B position. For those not familiar with the course, this is a scary hole b/c it's a peninsula green, OB about 7 or 8 feet directly behind the basket, and the basket is on a slope so it can be VERY easy to roll OB. While not a long hole, you see lots of people throw sally upshots and take the easy 3 when they'd usually be in birdie range.

Anyway, I think I'd just 3'ed Geezer (the 600'+ signature hole at Lakewood), which isn't easy to do. First on the pad, I threw a sidearm out there, fast and flat, an Orc if memory serves. It faded eventually, towards the basket, but far enough that I possibly could have thrown the hole long and gone OB. After everyone else had thrown their drives, I went to scout out my disc, worried that I'd see it sitting way OB. As it turned out though, the disc had gone exactly basket high, and skipped/rolled to rest leaning on the pole, nestled in the divot for the anchor. Quite possibly, if that little divot hadn't been there, I would have rolled OB. BUT, that divot was there, and I had one easy birdie...and unlike a lot of my good shots, it was actually witnessed by a decent number of people! :D

Awesome, Dan. That's a great 4. Sounds like you have been playing some great golf lately. Hope to see some from you this weekend! :rockon:

Did you hit the deuce is the question. :D I have only birdied the short position - never the long, though I have hit basket a few times with a putt.

That hole begs for a roller when it isn't windy. It produces hysterical rollers when it IS windy. Well done!

What's yours?

[REDFIVE]

A few years ago I had a cut on my throwing hand which turned me left handed for a bit. I was playing the red course at riverside hole 11. I threw a left handed turnover with a 172 CE Spider through a small gap which came out just in time to turn right into the basket for an offhanded ace. This shot more than most made me feel pretty cool.

[Jester]

One shot that always sticks out in my mind is hole one in the long at Dexter. It was a busy day at the course and my group was teeing off right after Avery and some other big guns. Avery and his group putted out and were standing 20 feet or so to the left of the basket talking. I drove and worm burned it about 100 feet. The rest of my group had decent drives. I was pretty embarrassed about my drive and wanted to park my upshot. I threw my CE FL on the perfect line but a little harder than I wanted. It crashed the chains for the deuce and Avery gave me a little round of applause.

[zippyboy]

This is easy - and its fairly recent. Drove hole 5 at Trojan about 275 to 300 feet down the fairway. Using an Avenger SS, managed to hit the birdie (blind to the basket) - about a 275 foot fairway ace.

[brillo]

It was at the Hyzer Desert Open, at Coates and Lanes old ranch. I forget what hole it was, but it played with a fence along the right side with a small creek too. I threw my first shot god awful bad, ending up inside some trees on the left of the fairway. Still 250 out from the pin, and the only shot out is from my knees through a small window. I grab an eagle and go for broke, and beeline it in. If I had missed the basket, it would have been 100+ feet past it. Wortz and Pinkal both were there to see it, too.



p.s. on a sad note that was in 04:waaah:

Awesome!

I believe it is hole seven at pier 400ish in long position. 2 years ago I was playing with Best, AA, and Browno. Aaron steps up on the tee taking the anny route and proceeds to cut it to sharp missing the first tree but tagging the second and falling straight down in behind the tree 40 feet off the pad. All the rest of us shoot and get within the circle. Aaron walks up to his disc, pulls out the green rhyno calls the birdy and lets her rip with an anny bomb again. Crashed the heart of the chains and sticks. Best shot I have ever seen, perfect the whole way and a very very difficult line to hit with a disc that shouldn't be able to do that.

What's yours?

I think my best single throw would probably be on Hole #1(of 27) at Milo (BSF pin position). Sam and I were in a doubles playoff with Bruce Murphy & Denny Axmacher.

After making a pretty decent drive, I told Sam I was going to throw my beat-up Monster on an anhyzer line and hopefully stall it out so it dropped in on the green. I threw it just hard enough and managed to hit my line as well. It looked great in the air and even with the blind pin position we knew it would be a decent shot. When we got up there to check it out it was about 10 ft from the pin and Sam tapped it in for the three.

[Sam]

Yeah... I want to use that for my best shot ever, too. I should be able to do that, right, since we were playing doubles... right? :whistler:

You made the putt, not me.

[Sam]

Yes... but if the 10 foot putt is the best shot I have to brag about, I am in a lot of trouble.

Of course... could have used a few of those this weekend...

That is an awesome up shot! I've been waiting to park that one.

[Brody Cannon]

It's between 2 different shots for me...

November last year (I had only been playing a couple months) I went to AZ and played Vista Del Camino and aced hole 16 in the second longest position (272 ft). For those that don't know the regular layout, it's the same hole that Barry Schultz aced at the memorial last year. The awesome thing is that it was a day or two before my birthday. Also, it was the day that UO beat ASU (football) which was cool since I was in AZ. :trophy:

My other favorite shot is my 7th ace on hole 7 at Ewing Young. It was the first time I had ever played the hole and before I threw my shot I had the crazy feeling that I was going to get an ace. :rockon:

[JMan]

1992 Granite Bend (a small private 18 hole course in the panhandle of Idaho); the hole curves hard to the right at about 230' from the T then the basket is on the left another 40+'. My first shot hits a tree just off the T and lands in the fairway. For my second shot I pick up my Eclipse (a fast disc at this time) and let it rip. It makes the turn and I loose sight of it. Then from the next T we hear a roar; it S turned and landed right in the basket. I won the tourney by that one stroke. Best shot ever...

[jlyons]

Not my best throw ever but a fun story. After the opening of Orchard I taught a disc golf clinic for Hillsboro Parks with a buddy. Throwing Basics, Putting, Rules etc. There was time at the end of class so we decided to split the class into two groups and play a round.

My group proceeds to hole 4 to start. I asked for someone in the group to throw first...no one was willing and they ask me to.

So I grab my orange Rhino, step on on the tee and BANG! Ace.

With a somewhat embarrassed grin I say something cheesey like...Well, that's pretty much how you want to do it.:D

Jay

[Sam]

The question is, though... was that the last time you golfed?! Where have you been?!

Great to see you here, Jay. Hope all is well. :cheers:

[jlyons]

New house, 3rd little boy, new job...been a busy summer...last round of disc was Superbowl Scramble...ouch!

Been busy with family and stuff...my disc golf fix consists of reading the forums and tossing mini's with the family...hope to make some winter doubles stuff

[Sam]

Congrats on the house and the boy and the job, Jay! Sounds like you've been really busy.
Hope to see you out hukkin' soon! :cheers:
