On Halloween I aced number 1 at Willamette with a Z Surge (in the left position). Perhaps my best ace to date (in terms of difficulty). 380' hole guarded by two large trees. Slight turnover that glided out, faded into the basket and stuck! Brad McDougal witnessed it and nearly died when I almost aced hole three that same round throwing the turnover route. I thnk that puts me in the mid-twenties for number of aces...not sure though, might be more.

I got my 12th ace today! Greenway hole 8 with my blue champion gator. I just threw it up into the rain and tailwind and it somehow found it's way into the chains. There was a guy on his bike that stopped to watch me throw.

Today, hole 1 at Mud got it in grand style. His eminence, the Bishop, nearly hit it on his drive and on the very next shot, Zippyboy got'er did. Both were beautiful shots. Though the Bishop's drive rolled over the edge and down the hill, he still pulled out the deuce while I clocked my first bogie of the day.

Nice first ace!

Way to go Zippster! First ace, eh? I don't suppose you rack too many up playing at Trojan all the time.

Thanks, guys. I had decided to take Friday off from work - which I rarely get to - and just sort of hang out for the day. Got up, and started playing a little GH:WT, then headed out to play a free-roll Texas Hold 'Em game at the local casino (finished 18th out of 60). After my better than expected performance there, Bishop and I made our way to the Mud. First throw in two weeks, the 173g ESP Avenger SS just skipped over the basket, and right into the chains. This, just after Bishop nearly missed chaining it, and right after Ol' Bob told us that the hole had never been aced before. We were yelling so loudly, Jessica came out of the Inn to see what was up. What an awesome feeling. I was worried my first one would come at hole #10 at Trojan, with my Lightning #2 Driver. Suffice to say, I couldn't have been happier getting the first one at the Mud, in the company of Bob and Corey. Best. Friday. Evar.

Believe me, I'm not. It is ALWAYS in the arsenal at Trojan. That being said, I would not have liked it to have been my first ace disc. I have no problem throwing Lightning discs, unlike a lot of people. However, also unlike a lot of people, one of my home courses is Trojan...

My regular putter is the Lightning #2 Upshot in Prostyle plastic. (I also think the Rubber Putter isn't bad, and it's a floater.)

However, my only aces so far are with Discraft midranges (Breeze, Buzzz, Drone x2)...

Got my first Non-Orchard Ace tonight as dark was setting in at Greenway. I just waved goodbye to Crider then threw hole #1. Then I popped over to hole #2 and aced it with my 166 beat Valkerie. it s'd it's way around the front of the big evergreen and the chains rang out. Frick! no witnesses. Oh well. At least I know it happened.

Non-witnessed aces in the dark at Greenway don't count!

"Saw" Andy Robinson ace #9 at Leverich Park today. The quotes are because it was a blind ace that was heard by a few but seen by none. Was part of a course record (I think) -6. Hot shooting, Andy!
