DISCRAFT ACE RACE at Skyline - Sept 5th

[Ol' Bob]

Oh, the details. Hmmmmm, hummmmm, uhhhhhhh, wellllll, errrrrrrrrrrr, aaaaaa, so it's aa, errr, like this. No aces, no metal amongst the competitors, so aaaaaa, welllaaaaa, it was a penalty kick to settle the scoreless game. Everyone had one shot on the driving range at a trashcan in a right-to-left crosswind. I tried to just lay up, knowing I would never get it in. I was still blown left, but at least I was low and didn't get carried away like most everyone else. I won it by a very few inches.

So here we are on #11. This shot, form my vantage, is going right at the lower part of the chains. What I see is it's stuck right in the back of the basket. I turn around and am about to toss my hat in the air... But nobody is celebrating. They're just looking at me. I'm confused. After several seconds, some one tells me it's behind the basket.

Here I am stepping aside to find my elation dashed on the rocks of reality.

Well, the sun is shining today. I have not tossed any drives since I dumped that three inches of rainwater out of my gauge yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, I did load that new Discraft bag with my new prize Rattler and my five old Rattlers, my new prize Magnet and Ringer, the two Ace Race discs, and my old trusty 4-times-Aviar-X and JuJu, and take a walk down to the three basket, ten meter, equilateral triangular putting green for some needed putting practice. I think I'm liking that Magnet.

Another thing about Saturday: My weather page was saying for a week that it was 80% chance of rain. Friday, they upgraded it to 90%, as it still said Saturday morning before I drove over. Not one drop fell on the Ace Race. Sean must have spent the night before, kneeling before Joboo, burning incense and chanting. The next day, the skies opened and dumped that three inches. Good work Sean!

We were at the coast on Saturday, fully expecting it to be the wettest day of the weekend. Not the case - it was gorgeous! Everything that was supposed to come down on Saturday was saved up and it all came down at that same time that night - with some wind, too.

What did people think of the Ace Race disc?

[Ol' Bob]

The shiny ones were pretty flippy and the grippy ones, not too bad. (Just my personal take.) They ain't no FLX Buzzz though.
