Yeah... I have to say that the constant changes to Greenway have turned me off from going there. I don't even consider it as a destination when I am considering golf for the day as there are too many courses out there that just don't have the issues Greenway has.

Sadly, I have to say the same thing. I always got a kick out of getting off work and throwing a few with Brody, but it just isn't fun to throw there anymore with the layout changes.

I hit #15 deep at Lakewood today (the blind one down to the lakes edge) with a forehand Xcaliber. I think it skipped in, but no way to tell for sure. Probably one of my better aces to date.

It probably skipped off the head of the Lochwood Ness Monster and ricocheted into the basket. Nice Shot! You are one sick puppy! Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow.

Speaking of skip aces, I was up for the Midsummer Glide on Hoodoo this weekend. I did not score very well all weekend, but on the last round Sunday, playing Hayrick Elevator, I aced hole #11 with a champ wraith. The hole played slight downhill 350 ft. with a hill to the left...basket partway up the hill, making for a pretty open hyzer line. I threw straight at the basket, too low to go in, but was thinking it would park for an easy birdie. Instead, it skipped up from about 20 ft. in front and "hopped" into the basket!

Thats awesome Luke!

My shot went slightly differently... I spiked it next to the basket... and it rolled all the way down the hill and across the road.

Got my 16th ace as part of a course record -10 at Greenway today! Aced hole 2 with a champion firebird. And the best part is, I GOT IT ON VIDEO! Will post it soon on youtube!

Thanks. I woulda taken that roll if it meant I could shoot a 36 on the Elevator! Thats a hot round! I'm even a little jealous of your 41 (was that the round your spike/roller happened?) since that was my score after hole 11. Fun tourney with tough courses, and what a view!

Three aces this month!!

I keep forgetting to post my last couple of aces here and with a third today I'm WAY past due.

6/1 hole #1 Lunchtime during League cashed $39 CFR Glow Roc

6/12 hole #9 Lunchtime (short pad) cashed $10 from the 51 club George and Stern First Run Destroyer

6/27 hole #1 Horning's Hideout no cash but my wife got to see it

Pretty cool!

That has to be one of the best aces, ever. I only have one, but I do wish my beloved could have seen it...

Ol' Bob · #**292** June 28th, 2009, 07:35 AM

SLOW news day in Fort Morgan: http://www.fortmorgantimes.com/news/2009/jun/29/brush-disc-man-hits-hole-n-one/

Brush disc man hits hole-n-one

The latest Brush disc golfer to "rattle the chains" for a goal in one at the Optimist Disc Golf Course at Riverside Park in Fort Morgan was Lonnie Roark.

On Friday, Roark accomplished the feat on hole number 18, which is 177 feet in length.

He managed to thread his disc, a Champion Valkyrie, between the many cottonwoods guarding the goal with skill and finesse.

The shot was witnessed by his playing partner, a very envious Wayne Carlson.

Ace #3 and #2 for 2009! #8 at leverich park, crzytal buzzz dead center with 5 witnesses, sooo cool... then the 2nd round, same disc, same HOLE, going innn deaddddd center, at the last minute this thing called wind pushes the disc down a whole foot to hit the top of the cage and barelllyyyyy not go in and just drops down in front of the basket, crazyyyyyy...

Dave Pittman · #**296** July 7th, 2009, 10:04 AM

I stopped at Trojan Park on my way back south yesterday and played a round in the drizzle. It only took me 4 and ½ years but I was a little lucky on a good drive and aced #18 for my first ever.

Star Teerex 167g thrown forehand made it through the branches of the tree in front of the basket and down into the chains.

I’ve had a handful of chain outs and another handful of shots thrown in from over 200’ out, but never an ace until yesterday.
Oh and I was able to head home with all my discs with just one close call, on hole 9 where my drive stuck in the tall grass on the edge…

Congratulations Dave!

Nate Sexton · #**298** July 7th, 2009, 11:45 AM

Yeah Dave! I predict a flurry of Aces for you now, maybe another one this weekend at the RCO!
Nate

erp · #**299** July 10th, 2009, 07:46 PM

That's a nice shot - 18 at Trojan was my first left-handed ace and second overall...

Do it again this weekend!

Susie Sunshine · #**300** July 15th, 2009, 06:52 PM

Eric got his 5th ace today. First one at Milo, even though that's our "home course". Hole 11 (of the 27 hole layout). Unfortunately, I'm stuck at work and this is his first ace that I wasn't there to witness. I'm still stoked for him, though.
