Woo Hoo!!

Finally, today, after playing for almost three years, I got my first ace!

Non-tournament, but sooper-dooper cool nonetheless. Witnessed by the rest of our weekend meet-up; Andy, Travis and 'Chelle.

Hole #12, Highbridge DGC
261' , elevated tee (25')
blind hole--basket is behind a small stand of Ponderosa
Sunny and 40 with a slight 5-7mph tailwind
RHFH Star Sidewinder 171g, plenty of wear
Came off a little higher than intended but turned over just enough to compensate for the fade at the end
Looked like it came down in front of the basket and I didn't hear chains but there was a CLUNG and everyone erupted with "It's in there!"
So cool. One of the holes I've always wanted to ace and definitely a hole I've been driving at for a while. I've hit the basket twice with BH drives and raked the chains once with a similar FH drive.

Fi-nal-ly! WOOT WOOT!
