PLAYING HOOKEY THURSDAY MAY 22

WHERE SHOULD I PLAY IN CHICAGO AREA

I COULD TAKE MY CHING OUT TO THE FOREST PRESERVE
AND SET UP A COURSE

Ace #101, Monday May 26th, 2003. My umpteenth PDGA ace.

Ace # 10, Sunday May 25th, 2003. 6 months, 2 days since # 9. One of the witnesses gave me the disc 6 months ago to replace the other Ace Disc. Rocs!

i just hit my 3rd ace of the year (4th lifetime) at Oakwood park Cottage grove, MN last night. it also was in our SUNDOG league!! it was also the CTP prize hole 4 the night. Guess what..someone else also hit it!! so i split the ace pool and the ctp prize. oh well it was still my first ACE for $$!! oh yea my other 2 aces were both on the same hole #1. the one last night is now a double ace disc! 179gm 1st run Z WASP!!
Doug

i just got my 6th ace of the year at McNaughton Park in Peoria for $96!

I will probably ace today.

I didn't ace today.

I will probably trump Chris Hysell's ace. /clipart/proud.gif

Chris should probably not play golf for a few weeks.

I didn't ace today but it hurt bad to play. I am taking some time off although I shot the best round I have in weeks throwing only forehand.

i hit a ace worth 200$ at our local sunday doubles
C-BUS,OH/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gifby da way anyone coming to da hambrick

Aces are stupid. If you hit a lot of aces it just means you are playing on too many pitch 'n' putt courses.

Morgan, to an extent you are right. At what point do you determine which ones are stupid? 300ft? So since I have 101 but only about half are in the 300ft range I should only count 50. That sounds fair. Now convince everyone that this is true and then the am players who can only throw 250ft will never get into an ace pot. Another way to look at it is that all holes under 300ft should be aced on every throw. So now, all holes under 300ft should be par 2. I like your thinking.

Morgans are stupid... Wright ace......

morgan don't be a hater,when it's worth some $/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif it's not stupid at all,take it easy.
everything will be alright/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I just took my Prozac, and now I like aces again

I just shot my first 36 (-18) today at Baraboo, WI! Now if I can only do that again this weekend during the tournament and beat Barry :D

saw 4 aces today....2 of which were in doubles here in Raleigh tonight....on back to back holes, the second of which was mine :-D.....my 11th

36's are stupid. If you hit a lot of 36's, it just means you are playing on too many pitch 'n' putt courses.

I like Morgan on Prozac. I'd probably like my boss if I was on Prozac.

Morgan needs his Prozac, so he'll like 36's/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Aces in a tournament... 72 players. 4 rounds. 16 reachable holes. 4608 chances at an ace. If only 1 is hit in a tournament, that's a pretty rare occasion.

Cause to celebrate. It took me way longer than 72 rounds to hit my first ace... but then, I don't play pitch and putt courses...

Last weekend at Steady Ed's Birthday Memorial there were 9 aces. Eight of them were by Ams and the only pro player to get one was Mike Corbett, a GM. Awesome! Ed always took care of his Ams./msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Well, I would have to say it was a pretty easy course but the round still comes out to be a 1094 rating, so it can't be too easy.

Prozac is stupid. It just makes you like things.

Gulp.

I like prozac.

Yesterday I went to a disc golf course and ran an event without participating. It was the most difficult thing I can remember doing. And I rescued an injured disc golfer too.

Coordinator and a Paramedic. I'm impressed. What else can you do?

Yesterday, I threw two discs at one of those mobile radar detector/speed indicators that they park on streets to let drivers know how fast they are going./clipart/happy.gif
The first one sailed by about twenty feet to the right. It didn't register.
I decided to throw the second one directly at the device.
From 150 feet, I chunked a Comet as hard as I could. It flew on a perfect line directly at the number display. Just when I had resigned myself to the fact that the Comet was going to smash into the number display, and I was going to be the proud owner of a damaged "Bulldog" radar detector/display, it dropped and shot thru the little 36 by 18 inch slot between the top radar detection section and the frame below. It went about eighty feet past before hitting a curb.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief that it didn't hit the unit, but was very disappointed to see that the speed failed to register.
Maybe next time/clipart/proud.gif

gotta aim to the left if it is on the right side of the road an right if the left side....also need to throw several at once so the unit can pick it up......it is not as sensitive as the handheld units in picking up smaller objects /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I see Keith has experience with these matters.../clipart/wink.gif

Out at Pease Park, Austin 6/19/03. Had a bud and I shooting around with another (Mike Suida). My bud got his first ever Ace on hole 8 with a skip-ala-doo-CHING!!!with a Valk....(only playing for 6 months).The round was going well, on comes #14 and across the river and into the bucket with a ROC for an Ace myself. Mr. Suida wrote..."when's it my turn"/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif on my disc. lovely. thank God the monkey is off of the back for me. Haven't Aced since two left handers on #13 last year...6 days apart

I'm going to finish the Hulk video game this weekend. It's amazing how close it is to the movie. Check them both out.

gotta boast........got my new license plates today they read "DISCGLF" to cool! Couldn't believe it was not taken allready

shot a 48 today in the Points Bonanza (which tied for the 2nd hottest round of the day w/ Larry Leonard....only one better was Jason Light)....and took home my 2nd 2nd place finish!

I haven't played disc golf in 9 days.

...and every local player in you neck of the wood is grateful for that./clipart/wink.gif

I was a mere five minutes from west guth in corpus cristi and did not get to play /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

I couldn't go much longer without playing. I played today. Ace #102 with a Z-Talon.

ran out of prozac...must restrain fingers...

SWEET!!!!

I know Morgan. Sometimes it's hard to control ourselves when posting. I had a hard time not addressing the post directly at you. It was a stupid, short, straight hole about 240ft downhill. Last night was week 12 of our series with about 25 players a week. It was the first ace in the series so there have been 300 shots on that basket but 5400 tournament tee shots without an ace. We played doubles afterwards and I bounced it off of the top. BTW, I was hurt.

Back when I was playing a lot it was the 1980's, our course had ridiculously long holes. They were all like 1000 feet long or 2000. Nobody ever got an ace of course and nobody ever even got a 2. I don't remember even if anybody ever got a 3 there. Most of the holes were par 6 and 7 and up. We were maniacs. Because of that, I've never gotten an ace in tournament play in my life, although I've gotten some aces recently in casual play on these little "par 3" holes.

Don't be hurt that I said aces were stupid, it's just that I like long golf holes where aces are impossible. Don't be hurt.

Not my feelings, silly. I had an injury. I prefer hard as ell, dense woods holes. I am confident with my escapability.

2000 FT holes are stupid......../msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I got my first ace on Golden Tee today.

My one and only disc golf boast is getting an ace from the 490' pro tee on Hole 18 at Elver Park in Madison, WI, using a 175g CE Valk. I've been told by locals that there were only 6 known aces on the hole before mine, and it's a 12 year old course. Go me.

Sadly, my highlight reel ends there...

Dammn, I want that ace! I've hit basket on it before! That's defintally one of the best aces to get in Madison.

i won a key that "could" start a harley davidson fat boy 100th anniversary hog...only 500 given out and over one hundred thousand entries...
won it this morning and turning the key starts sat at high noon....
valued at 25,000 but i already had people offering 300 bucks to get my key...if they would have offered 1000...i would be in the usdgc courtesy of harley /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

of course when(if)i win the bike i could raffle it off or sell it on ebay and get in plus sponsor someone else to get in...

worse case scenario i get all of the free stuff for winning one of the keys and am happy to win a share of the powerball saturday night /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I only had two aces today, #'s 103 & 104. 103 was in warm-up and #104 was during a "B" tier. The bad thing was I got $50 for the ace pot on Wednesday night and only $29 today. If I keep getting aces, I will be able to pay cash for Keith's Harley. In 2010.

Congrats, Chris. 2 in 1 day is impressive. Of course, my standards are low, having not hit one yet....
What did you eat for breakfast?

nice job chris...
today's story...start by kicking everyone's *** in league with my good luck charm(lorelei) and winning 19 bucks for 8 players
then went to extravaganza for harley
had number 57 key...which lorelei picked the slip for....but then they wouldn't let my good luck charm on stage to pick the from the "real" keys because she was under 21....i picked one and it didn't work.........110 more people picked before the 167th person opened the box that had the keys to the hog....
but powerball drawing is in 7 minutes....i'll check back /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

swe-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-t!!!

I got my 10th ace on Friday. Hole 6 at the blue course in Little Rock. I was in LR for my sister's state championship softball tournament.
They won the championship game 15-2. BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15694 on my PowerBall today..

Guess I should have posted on this thread sooner. No sooner did I, than I hit Ace #2 yesterday, Hole #1 at Elver Park in Madison, WI, 245' uphill, 174g Champion Beast.

Heeren: Yea, I've been in and out of chains all over the place, with all the short holes in Madison I never though 18 would be my first one. Still, when the wind is calm, that's one fun basket to throw at. BTW you don't know me but I think you were in the group of guys coming down the hill when I hit that ace yesterday. Small world!

I shot the same number of birdies as Walt Haney,11 at cedar hills,He won ,I bogied twice, he did'nt.

ace number 13 sunday night at East Wake Middle School here in Raleigh NC......hit it w/ a putter....

Robert,

Actually you were in Knightdale.

And, I am going to assume you meant your 13th ace since East Wake is only a 9 Hole course.

Kirk

Kirk, leave the college boy alone. He knew what he meant. No one ever understands his posts.

yeah it was my 13th ace.......and shut up chris

East Wake is a PHAT 9 hole course. I think it's hole #3 and #8, boy those are some sweeties. Good job Carl.

Hole 3 is a long downhill hole with that lake/pond behind it.

Hole 8 is the long hole with the school to your right. This hole is badass when it isn't wet. The tee [*****] when it is wet

10000 hits on my website! Legit, non-consecutive ips!

Finally a boast...first tournament ace at the Valley Springs doubles last night. Hit number 1-alt with a Oak Hollow CE Rhyno(thanks again Tim) for the $60. Also ended up winning by 1 stroke for the cash!

congrats steve!!! We were just talking about that at Zeb this weekend!!

Steve W.,
When you gonna call a brotha?

Thanks Robert, maybe we should discuss a PDGA win somtime.

BS-You ain't ever home!!!!!

lol

After three and half years of playing, I hit ace #1 this morning.

176 Clear Z-Wasp with a Texas 10 stamp (Hey, Chris Himing. Go Lance Armstrong!)
Hole #15 - 209' (sidearm)
Alex Clark Park in McKinney
The ace helps me tie my personal best round of 49.

Hey, Mark Atwood. I need you to help me pick out all of my discs! This is the one that you helped me pick out at the ZiegenBock TX10 - Dallas. Hopefully, I'll be in Waco for you to help me pick out another one.

What a great day to play golf! Round two tonight!

Very nice Redd. You coming out to Vet's this weekend?? I know I already asked but I'm short a few brain cells sometimes.

Congrats! It must have been the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">QUALITY</FONT> choice of plastic. Atwood <FONT COLOR="ff0000">KNOWS</FONT> what i'm talking about now/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif jm

well, i sliced my throwing hand on saturday, and after walking with my buds i decided to throw left handed. went a lot better than i expected. so we go to moffit and get into a doubles round, me playing left handed throw on hole one and get the ctp, almost aced the darn thing! So low and behold I discover what it is to be amidext.....ous. OH IT WAS WITH X WILDCAT! Jim K. call me /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

See, I really do know what I'm talking about...sometimes. Quality Ace! /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I have been slack. Ace #105 Friday, July 11th on hole 8 at Burke Lake. I should have done it Saturday for $274.

Redd - Kudos! Now... a little advice from soneone who knows all too well. Pay the ace pot at McKinney: its not fun to hit an ace and then wish you did.

Looking forward to hearing about ace #2!

I've been playing just over 1 year and had my first ace today! Reedy Creek Park, hole #10, 243 ft. Hit it with an 11x Roc. Witnessed by the guy that got me started playing, Ralph Vickers, and by Michael Johanson and Jen Hennen MD- a sweet young resident that came out to learn to play. I think she picked a great day! At least I'm still smiling!

Awesome, Rob! Bagged my first with an 11x. I was getting awful close to nailing that one with my CE Roc at the Bonanza.

Welcome to the single ace club. You'll probably get out of the club before me.

yeah Rob!! Congrats man.....after getting robbed in Burlington, you desereve one!!

Got my second tournament ace tonight. Same hole, same disc as last week. Unfortunately, it was only $13 this time.

Congratulations to Justin Jablonski and partner for throwing a 37!!!!!

I'm gonna beat Steve Waters to it so he won't get to boast: Mr. Mullet aced #1 (alt) Valley Springs at doubles again today, first throw of the day. $13 ace pot. (Attention Steve: new rule starting next week: no candy Rhynos. /clipart/happy.gif)

Oh yeah: my partner (Chris Benson) and I shot -13. Would have been happy with that, 'cept the other half of our card, Justin Jablonski and Brian Adams, shot -17. /clipart/sad.gif

Dang, Steve: next time I won't bother checking my spelling! /clipart/proud.gif

Today I won my 5th ace pot in 10 weeks. It was good for $72. Ace #106, hole #6 at The Grange. If I lived in Texas, their ace pots wouldn't be so high.

walked out to Rosedale "Down Under" today at about 7:00pm, after spending the entire day lugging a big heavy camcorder around Swope filming the pros. I didn't bring discs, so I got an MS and an Omega at Galyans today. This is a short, technical course, with lots and lots of trees, cliffs, and trees. Did I mention the trees? I played with some folks that hadn't been there before, and I shot 5 under, only one bogey, and hit basket on 2 holes. Woulda been a nice place to get ace 2, but it wasn't meant to be. I need to start playing 2 disc rounds again...

Great little course, some really exceptional learning for this area, which is pretty much wide open windy golf.

Probably play up top tomorrow morning, before filming the finals, 97 degrees and plus 100 heat index. Welcome to KC!

I was playing a local bag tag match (the #2 I lost for #19) Saturday in Florence,Ala., and hit an ace on hole 16, a fairly short tight shot. This was after two other players had near-aces. Unfortunately, the ace pot was not in effect. But I did have about seven witnesses, including my 13-year-old son. Only my 8th ace ever and the first one in years. rWc

BTW, I hit it with a stiff Wizard putter/approach.

/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Today I talked to Chris Hysell. He's funny /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif looking

And even funnier looking now that I completely shaved my head. But Zilla may be the funniest looking of all.

What is funny about Zilla?

Imagine Zilla with a shaved head. It's not fantasy, it's reality. He's so cool now, seriously.

Y'all just couldn't stand it that I was the best looking bald man in disc golf.

Reality? Seriously?? I had always thought the source of Zilla's strength was his uncut hair...

I have a boast to post-
Sunday mixed doubles at the Grange I aced #16, and then yesterday, at Loriella, we were playing Skins for .25 and $5 aces... hole 18 was a push for skins so we kept playing, and I aced #1 for the skins AND a $15 ace payout! That makes 3 aces in 36 days- WATCH OUT HYSELL- HERE I COME!! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Classic Yoo!!!

Nice...(still smiling at that one) /clipart/proud.gif

-m

Kirk, you're the best looking bald guy that I know with your name. Captain Kirk's hair piece excluded...

Kelly I may have to reconsider our compatibility issues. Anyway that is pretty good, for a girl. In my span of 5 tournament aces in 73 days, I had a total of 8 aces. That's one every 9 days. Get off of the computer and go get an ace.

Why? It doesn't seem to hurt you any...baldy

Thanks, Chris- perhaps you can call my boss, and let him know that this job is interfering with my ability to impress you with aces. Although, I fear that our compatibility issues are far more complicated than a few aces can rectify- need I remind you that training camp starts this weekend? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Last week I went out to Flagstaff to practice the courses for worlds. My first round at Thorpe I played about as terrible as I could imagine for the first 17 holes. On hole 18 just for ***** and giggles I decided to close my eyes when I threw my drive (figuring it could'nt be any worse than the way I was throwing with them open) Three seconds later I had my first out of state Ace.
My second out of state Ace came an Saturday when I was in Vegas, on the hole prior I threw an ok drive went for the putt, ended up about 20 feet long, then missed the next putt about 12 feet long. Then as the other people on my card were saying that I was close enough not to need to putt, I managed to prove them wrong. Instead of getting upset I managed to laugh it off and Ace the next hole. On a side note Vegas had taken me for a modest $250 until my friend loaned me 20 bucks 10 minutes before we were going to leave for home, I cleaned up on THe Yatzee slot for $550 bucks

All right, Pat! Time for some barbacoa burritos!

Pat,

Ya Kinda give a new meaning to "blind ace". I always assumed that it meant that you couldn't see the basket because something other than your own eyelids were in the way... /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Sweet!! I finally have something to boast about, I just shot the best round of disc golf I've ever played. 40 (-14) from the long tee's at Token Creek Park in Madison, WI!

pterodactyl, you speak of barbacoa burritos? is this a reference to chipotle? only the best restaurant under 5 bucks ever.

Nice shooting Chris! A 40 from the LONG tees at Token Creek Park? With all due respect to Heeren, (I know that you are a 1000 rated player with many top 5 finishes at PDGA B-Tier events) and while I've never played there, from various scuttlebutt I was under the impression that Token Creek was more challenging than a course that would surrender a 40, from the long tees no less. It is billed on the PDGA directory as a 'Championship Course.'

Ellis, barbacoa burritos is just a reference to last year's Worlds. Pat ate it every night at Rincon's in Houston.

I guess that makes Chris Heeren a Championship Player! Nice shooting.

You got witnesses Chris?

I played with Chris Heeren during the Mad City Open when he shot -8. He knows that course!!

And since he knows all the local routes and is very long off the tee - I'll put my guess in (Chris wouldn't make this up) I hope /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif
He deuced 1, 2 (fairway ace), 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, and 18.

Unless he had an ace! Then I would take #2off the list. Even with an Ace that has to be one of the most amazing rounds ever in Wisconsin!!!

PS - No Ropes and a casual round
right Chris /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Ok, I guess I have to re-word that, I said "long tee's" but the pins were in the red pin placement. I'd say it was equivalent to a -10 in the blue's. It was during a skins round with 5 other people, I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18. And my putt spit out on hole 16 /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif There are still 7 holes that play from 400 - 550ft. So it'll be pretty hard to shoot any better than that. (at least by me)
PS - Token Creek isn't a course that surrenders 40's, that's why I said it was my best round I've ever played. (close to 1100 rated) I hit every possible duece hole plus 2 bonus ones I never get!
PSS - Awesome job at KC Wide Open &amp; The Majestic, Sprague, and congrats on making the Innova team!!!!!

Yeah you do. Come to the pro Old Dominion Showdown and go head to head putting against some good putters.
Michael, I didn't ace tonight but I did save money on my car insurance.

I've always said "I wanna putt like Hysell...". I may very well take you up on that just to say I whipped Chris Hysell a couple rounds! /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif I played Gillies Creek and Dorey one day a couple years ago, and they are sweet.

Jeff, I also have changed from Advanced to Pro!! Hope to see ya around and get my revenge!!! I had a blast at Am Worlds. I guess I should not have let you use my "Lucky" mini!! Congrats on the win bud you deserve it!! By the way, do you relize that if I had let you putt from the wrong lie you would of tied for 1st!! I hope that karma comes my way soon as a Pro Master!! Lets see who can cash first!!

Mike D

Well, that's two of us. Next?
I wish you the best Mike!

I think the putt from my disc, and not my mini would have been a stance violation. I would have received a warning and been allowed to re-putt from the righ spot. I think that's right.

Check it out-
RULE: 803.03 STANCE, Subsequent to Teeing Off
F. A stance violation must be clearly called within three seconds after the infraction to be valid. The call may be made by any member of the group or an official. When the call is made by a member of the group, it must subsequently be confirmed by another member of the group. A player shall receive a warning for the first violation of a stance rule in the round. Subsequent violations of a stance rule in the same round shall incur a one-throw penalty.

G. Any throw that involves a validly called and seconded stance violation may not be used by the thrower. Re-throws must be taken from the original lie. Re-throws must be taken prior to subsequent play by others in the group.

H. The player may not retrieve the originally thrown disc prior to the re-throw, except in the case of a putt from within 10 meters. Where a disc is retrieved in violation of this rule, a one throw penalty shall be imposed without a warning.


Do you realize that if I hadn't missed so many putts, it wouldn't have even been close?/clipart/wink.gif

Seriously, I really look forward to playing with you again.
I really feel that it was your calming effect on me that helped me through my yips.
The mini is going to Flagsatff.
It is the first thing I put in my suitcase.

Jeff...congrats on the huge win. 2 things: 1. You were listed as playing Open at the Worlds on the last update I saw, and 2. A player who has thrown from another player's lie shall receive two penalty throws, without a warning! ouch! Mark the top of your discs.
Rule/msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif803.09) page 12.

Meet ya at Worlds. KL

Thanks Kenny!
1st thing- I switched today when I "stepped up".
2nd thing- I was putting from my disc and not my mini. A garbage truck drove up and I stepped back from my mini. When I resumed my stance I was behind my disc, which was about five feet behind my mini. Mike stopped me before I putted. It would have been a stance violation, as I understand the rules.
Man, you Pro's are tough!/clipart/wink.gif
See ya' soon/clipart/happy.gif

We really dug through this last year, and I don't remember where it ended up. Ask Mark.

Stance violation or practice throw??

I know Carl Rogers was given a stroke for a practice throw under the same situation at the "OO" last year or two years ago when it was the "McClure Open". Todd Branch made the call.

My 14th ace happened this weekend.....got in at Kentwood this weekend in a Raleigh Monthly.....Hole 6.....a nice 33 bux plus 2nd place in the tourney...I'll call it a good day

Jeff, It would be practice throw.
old thread (http://pdga.com/discus/messages/42/5815.html?1024881847)

In looking at it in a different light, if there was a strong wind, and you tossed your driver to the side, went back to the bag for a new disc, and threw from the wrong mark, you would gather valuable information form the flight of your first disc whether the miss-throw was intentional or not.

Sorry Jeff, practice throw. Stroke plus throw from where you are supposed to.

I stance corrected./clipart/wink.gif
Mike Dammes has a spot reserved in the Sportsmanship Hall of Fame. He also has good Karma coming his way./clipart/happy.gif

Jeff, I can use all the good Karma I can get!! How's that mini working?? You know it is still full of disc golf MOJO!! I wanted to let you know one of the highlights of Am Worlds for me was getting to play with people like you. Playing all those rounds with you was a great pleasure. I would also like to thank all the people who were rooting for me. I had a great time and have no regrets!! I started off well, but then just sort of faded away and let Jeff and Jay have the spotlight!! I would like to mention that I hit my last putt as an Am with a gallery watching, uphill into the wind, for a birdie!! Woohooo!!
Jeff, how bout a discount on a powerball...LOL

MIke D

Just got a whole new shipment of 'em.
Send me an e-mail.....

I shot an 8 under at Winthrop Lakefront today. 10 birdies, 2 bogeys, one of em was almost a circle 3.

birdies on 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19.

We had to play 19 (shot up to the shack) because 3 was gone due to the downed tree.

sounds like u need to go to Monday qualifying w/ Disclanding...AWESOME ROUND.....but how could u miss one.....even I birdied one the first time i played the course

1 is moved. it's a lot harder now. It's shorter, and up on the hill, above the tree that was to the right of the original position. It's now a tough shot for a lefty or righty.

shot my first round in the 30's today....shot a -15 (39) at kentwood in Raleigh....sad part was i missed a 20 footer on the very easy 2nd hole for birdie and the 38 on the last hole of the tournament which I won by 9

Way to go, Robert. Now tomorrow, you can start playin' the 18-hole layout. /clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif

LOL.....yeah ive had plenty of 30 somethings on 9 holes....but this was on 18

That was on 18? Dang! What'd you shoot on the other 17? /clipart/proud.gif

lol, i give up fighting u felix

Aw, come on, Robert, you can't quit yet. I'm just gettin' warmed up. /clipart/happy.gif

Seriously, good shooting.

Not really much of a Boast, but I did run my first tournament over the weekend. Only 14 showed, but it was a great time none the less!

Bag-Tag tourney with Skins to boot. Fun time!

Ford

I went on vacation for two weeks, played disc golf several times each week, and brought home 2 third place trophies! Woo-hoo, the hardware drought is over! <FONT SIZE="-2">let the new drought begin! <FONT FACE="WINGDINGS">J</FONT></FONT>

I survived 189 holes of tournament golf in one week. Got a medal in the Cornhusker State Games (6 years to accomplish that goal), and didn't DFL at Am Worlds /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif.

171 tournament holes played in 9 days. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif
( 27 x 3 plus final 9 at Tahoe, 27 x 3 at Santa Maria.)

Friend of mine, "Fishnet" shot -19 at Winton Woods in Cincinnati. Aced #4 275' and deuced everything else.

I got my first ace today! WoooooHooooo! Hole #7 @ Seneca Creek. Short tee to A pin. Big anhyzer shot with a 169 Z-Wildcat.

Beat Maceman today after being down 5 strokes with 6 holes to play!!! Sorry Macey /msgboard/images/clipart/sad.gif

Way to go Sean...I see you already modified your profile. The monkey is off your back! Many more. KL

Thanks KL. I have been waiting for that one for 2 years now. Man was it sweeeeeeettttttt!!!!!!

I had my best DG day ever yesterday. Played 5 rounds from the shorts at rutgers in NJ.

Cubby

Mister putter turns pro?

Carl, Great shooting bud!! Glad to hear KC helped you!! I had a blast playing with you in KC.

Mike D
#12941

Morgan, looking forward to NY STATES, will see you there.

Mike, The pleasure was all mine! You are an awesome golfer and I am working on my game full time in hopes that I can play some more rounds with you at next years worlds. You have a great demeanor and a friendly spirit. Thanks for your words of encouragement througout the event. If I find myself anywhere near your neck of the woods I'll look you up and please do the same if you find yourself anywhere near New Jersey.

Warm regards,

Cubby

Carl you are the most successful aggressive putter I've ever seen. I try to learn something from everyone I play with (KC Swope) but I don't have the nerve to putt that hard.

That's why they call him "Mister Putter"

Rich, For me I came to the realization that standing over the putt too long got me thinking to much and my nerves got the best of me. I was always best in sports when I hand to quickly reflex to something without thinking about it. I just applied that to my game. I do all my thinking and let my nerves fray during all the down time between shots and when it is time to throw I just step right up and let it go before I have a chance to unravel. It came to me when I was playing rosedale down under and I had a 6 and 5 bogies. With 5 holes to go I birdied 4 of them because of the change I discussed above and I played my worst and best tournament golf during the same round. 8 birdies got me to even. It was a hurdle I needed to clear to get my game to the next level. Not sure if any of that makes sense but I thought I would put that out there if it might be helpful to anyone else.

Cubby

Cubby, YOU DA MAN, nice tossing at Am.worlds!...NY states has limited room for Non pros, so act accordingly, of course weve got alot of spots for pro masters.....Bee well and see you at warwick in october! BN

worm has a leg to stand on. 53 from the ludes. godd shootin jeremy lee

thats team kingpin beitch

i want to thank sue stephens,todd branch(1st round)and erika pray,kurt lampkin(2nd round) for being encouraging to the youngest pro worlds player ever and for being great ambassadors of the game for her to see play.....
i am VERY PROUD of my big girl of 6 years old as she played 36 holes today making over 60 throws/rollers today on top of the fact that she walked 12 holes at the snowbowl course and 18 holes at the hotel course yesterday.

Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of there Keith. Good job Lorelei.

I want to brag about someone too. Unrelated to DG, but I'm real proud of my kid brother (who's not a kid anymore). At last weekend's national motocross championship event, he placed 5th in the nation in 125cc class and 7th in the nation in Stock class in large and competitive fields in both instances. All this after a crash in Friday practice that required stitches to his face. And, at 33, he was at least 8-10 years older than all the young guns in these divisions, and didn't have the benefit of age protection. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Maybe if he gets tired of ripping tendons, tearing flesh and breaking bones I can get him into DG. /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

I played a skins match with a much better golfer yesterday. We both shot -2. He took the first skin on hole 1 with a par. We then pushed the next 16 holes due to a couple of miraculous putts for birdies by your's truly (/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif). On hole 18, I parked the basket for a bird, and my opponent missed his 45'er; taking a par.
Disclaimer: This has been my only highlight since the last day of Am Worlds when only 15 of the 96 am masters played better than I did......and my opponent above will surely be seeking revenge for his below average play.../msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Playing doubles at the Lake Park in Lewisville, TX, I drew the 'joker' since there were an odd number of people. I was allowed one extra shot per hole. On my first drive on hole 5 (OK, it's a 180 foot pp hole), I aced it. Since we were paying $5 per ace, I opted to take my second drive as well. I also aced that one.

I got my second right handed ace yesterday on the 200' hole H at my local course for $43.00.

Not bad for a lefty!!!

Way to go, Cloud Man! Hole #5 is listed as longer than 180', btw.

I met Jeff Ash.

I met him also ... wall-to-wall smile /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Aced today at lunch. 210' Hole 12 at the private course (not listed in directory) on Raytheon property in Tucson, Az. M-14 basket.

Oh, I also own the course record at -2.

Do you need clearance from the government to play that course?

Russ, I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.


<FONT SIZE="-2">oh come on, you knew it was coming</FONT>

2003 Worlds: I got to sit with the following people at the awards ceremony: Ken Climo, Dave Greenwell, Brad Hammock, Jim Oates, Dave Feldberg, Tuna Thompson, and Shane Robinson. We will take on any table!! No Hysell, though!

I met Chris Hysell. <FONT SIZE="-2"><FONT COLOR="ffffff">I have no idea who Wayne Forest is.</FONT></FONT>/clipart/wink.gif

I met Hysell and Ash!

I'm the new world putting champion /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Congrats champ. Don't take offense to this but do take my challenge. Here is my challenge to you. Come to the Old Dominion Showdown and see what it is like when everyone goes head to head in a single elimination putting contest. That is a real battle. You could lose to anybody. What's worse is that it is unisex. Come on Champ.

i'll be there to take your challenge(and i also know comet and hysell!!!)

first(tied with geoff lissaman) in the outdoor (real part) of the rochester pro worlds putting contest....before everybody started putting it in hotels,corners of school fields,under tents,etc....it will be nice to have a nice outdoor challenge again /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Now that you guys know me, the world is a better place.

I sure am glad Hysell is back

What was wrong with Hysell's back? /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Hysell's back was injured during a freak Powerball accident. He pulled a muscle while reaching for his wallet./clipart/wink.gif

I was penitrated for a couple thousand dollars/msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

Beat that boast!

I not only met Jeff Ash, but, I was fortunate to get to play a round with him. Great player, even greater attitude, great fun...for me, in my mediocrity, this is what discgolf is all about; meeting new friends and enjoying the walk.

Not to be outdone, I also met and played my first round with Scott Papa...another amazing character in our world. Great attitude, funny, and passionate; not afraid to make the call...thanks Scott and Oates for a great first round.

I also met Jon Lyksett...what he has done in conjunction with Innova in creating EDGE, will be the 'key' to the next generation of growth for discgolf....I have often said for many years that the 'key' to growth and recognition of our sport lies in taking it to 'schools'...it is now a reality.

Hey Matt....missed you...hope all is well in jersey_land.

Not only did I meet Jeff Ash, I lost a $20 bet with him at Worlds. I also had the pleasure of watching him, along with Jay Gobrecht &amp; the rest of the Adv. Masters top dogs, play the semis &amp; finals on Swope. Someday I hope to be as good as those guys. In fact, that day will be Oct. 31st, 2008. The day I turn 40.
Oh yeah, I'll boast that I know Jay Gobrecht, too. And that he whoops up on me by only 5 or 6 strokes on 36 holes on a regular basis.
Oh, one more thing. I hit a homerun once in Little League. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

My son hit his first 40 footer today. He's only two years old. Watch out DG world Jonah Boles is coming for you /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Marty, sorry I could not make it. I played with Scott last year at USDGC, we had a blast! Ironically I was on vacation last week during worlds. Coming out for USDGC this year?

hey matt,

usdgc??? not likely, but, you never know. give suzanne and the kids a big hug...jonna says hey.

have you seen the 'new' delaveaga website (http://www.delaveagadiscgolf.com)? it has you listed as an original member....

Marty Hapner called me a bagger, after I had already turned Pro.
As a matter of fact, he shouted it across a crowded downtown Flagstaff street./clipart/wink.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/wink.gif

Marty, I hope I play well enough to get on your card, again.
Or, the inverse.../clipart/happy.gif

Jeff Ash was nice enough to introduce himself to me after he heard me introduce myself to Jay Bitner. I was still playing well at that point I shot as well as the lead card at Swope. I was feeling pretty good. I would have been too embassassed to talk to him (or anyone else) after my disaster at Waterworks. Congratulations Jeff.

hey Jeff,

you have me confused with Don Smith....while we were sitting waiting for our pizza, checking out the local talent in the pool hall across the street, you interrupted our view, and i explained to Don that you were the current reigning Am Masters Champ...it was he who erupted with the AmBagger proclamation....I think he was just trying to be funny...

Jeff, i too hope to play in a group with you again...maybe then i can prove i can make a 15 foot putt.

marty you can make 15 ft putts...you just can't play safe across water /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Marty-
Guilt by association. You stand convicted. /clipart/wink.gif
BTW- It was funny. For a moment, I thought I was having a flashback./clipart/happy.gif
Rich, It was great meeting you, also. What a battle it will be for the 2004 Advanced Master title in Des Moines. I thought we had a tough field in KC- just wait until next year.
Best wishes!/clipart/happy.gif

I got to have Jeff A, Marty H, and Mark P all in the same foursome at Thorpe. None of us could make much outside of 15 ft.....unless it was for par. But, we did have an enjoyable round /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

But, Rich Dionne hit more metal/chains in a round than I have ever seen or heard. His 2(?) over could have easily been a 10 under. It was bizarre. I've never seen a player take it more in stride than Rich did. I guess it must happen to you a lot, eh?/clipart/wink.gif

Yep, I had been practicing real hard for that kind of round!!
/clipart/smile.gif

I haven't thrown a disc since Flagstaff and I have a tournament to play tomorrow. Oh well, I guess that's not that strange, for me.

I saw Madonna kiss Britney Spears and Christian Aguilera!

My life is complete/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

YUM YUM!!!!!!!!!

Friday I hit my first ace. I've been playing about a year, so it was super exciting for me.
It was on hole #3 at the central michigan university course (my home course) in mount pleasant michigan. I tomahawked a Valkyrie.

P.s.-anyone know where the whole write your names on the post started? It seems to be at every course I've played here in michigan.

Girlie spoke to me at Paw Paw. I think we made eye contact also.

I didn't play Paw Paw. My plastic and skills thank me.

So do I, for letting me finish one money spot higher...

I just bought an "Ash" (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=3346504018&amp;category=20 079&amp;rd=1) disc on eBay.
I guess I must be famous over there in England/clipart/proud.gif
click (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=3346504018&amp;category=20 079&amp;rd=1)

Ace #2, with same disc that I got Ace #1 with.
Red Candy first run SPIDER.
Hole #17 at La Mirada. Shot a 7 under that round, playing all 27 holes.
Low round for Adv. Ams with same layout was 5 under carded by tournament winner.

La Mirada #17 with a Spider? Move up ya bagger!

I shot under 70 at Winthrop Gold tonight. Made me smile. 1 over par. coulda easily made par if... only... aww, who am I kidding.

AWESOME PECK!!! I shot 72 when i played w/ like 3 circles.....w/out the ropes.......threw in the drink on 5, OB on 11 and of course on 888.......but 69 is hot man!! congrats

At the Delta Windjammer weekly Monte (Monte Harrison) "Spu" aced the shortest hole on the course (#1) for $540! I heard it and saw Monte with his hands raised on the tee pad doing the zombe walk. We had 2 holes left. Sal Teresi and I. On 18, I was up first. Off the rocks ace!!! Monte thought we were just messin' with him with all of the noise I was making! Classic! Sal and I shot -19 out of 20 for the new course doubles record to boot! Food and adult beverages will be abundant next Wed. nite. Monte and I are putting on a spread! B there! KL

Yeah, I threw OB on 11 on my second shot, missed a 30 footer to take a 6, Actually, the basket missed my putt, it fishbowled around then teetered over the edge.

nailed a 45 footer for a 4 on 888. Never crossed inbounds on 13, so I had to retee. Missed the Mando on 14, carded a 5.

Played Winthrop Gold 4 times, best round was a 68. That was with a triple circle 11 on 888!
Matt- hope to see you out there some time.

San Francisco bag tag #1 is currently mine! The wolves will be after me tomorrow. Two more rounds at Stockton. I should probably take a picture of it hanging on my bag, eh?

Can I count tonight's ace with the unapproved Ace Race disc? It was on a permanent hole. I was going to shorten it up for the Ace Race but I might not now. #107. I took money for it too.

i have three bag tags, Charlotte, RADL and Coastal PLains....I got number 1 in coastal plains this past weekend, all thought I lost it I now have held all three number 1's at some point /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

<FONT SIZE=" 2">I</FONT> aced #11 Valley Springs with a Z-Wasp on Tuesday, but unlike <FONT SIZE=" 2">SOME</FONT> people, <FONT SIZE=" 2">I</FONT> only count aces with <FONT SIZE=" 2">APPROVED</FONT> discs. And unlike <FONT SIZE=" 2">SOME</FONT> people, <FONT SIZE=" 2">I</FONT> have so many aces, I don't bother counting them any more. /clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif/clipart/proud.gif

Congrats! Since it's approved you must count it. However, since you don't count aces then just disregard it/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I just got my second ACE with the same disc I got my first with.

Perhaps we need a thread for 2 aces with the same disc!!!!

Candy First Run Spider is DA BOMB

For all of u that only have only one ace with a disc, be gone.

All smiles, :-D

We played our weekly doubles at Tinicum last night as Isabel was flying in. Rained a little, but it was WINDY!

On hole #15 Kevin Laboski hit the number plate for a near ace. After much discussion about aces on the tee of Hole# 16 Jeff Tareila threw a CE Roc into the side of the basket and it stuck!!

$75 ace pot my $5 for Lucky. Disc golf rules in extreme conditions!!

Did the course get flooded last night Matt?

No, it rained a bit, but the wind is drying things up nice for tomorrow.

More eye contact. Maybe even flirtatious conversation.

My 20 week Disc Golf Season (2 times a week) is finished and a couple of fun tid-bits.

Here are the highlights:

I had a 7 and a 10 year old play in the amature division most of the year (they won 2 times!)

Bassett Creek Park final CTP Throw took 85 tosses before we had a winner (2nd time that happened)

I won the most of any players in the weekly league (over $375 total)

We played 56 holes to polish off the year in our Championship Tournament on Sept 20th and polished off: 36 - Johnsonville Beer Brats, 36 - Old Fashioned Weiners with chips and pop.

We had over 150 different players showing up this year for League play.

This was my 10th year of running Weekly Disc Golf leagues 2 times a week (Monday and Thursday)and only missed 1 time this year.

Lots of fun, so we will do it again next year!

I hit the jackpot at PIAS today: FOUR�that's right, folks, FOUR�Ontario Rocs (175, 176, 176, 178g), a max wt. PAT. PEND. Aero, and a 123g ring-stamped Aviar, all in good to excellent condition; the Aero is practically MINT!

/clipart/happy.gif/clipart/happy.gif/clipart/happy.gif/clipart/happy.gif/clipart/happy.gif

Oh yeah ... AND I got some help with my grip, run-up, follow through, and throwing ani from LL. (Thanks, Larry!)

I'm the girlie that Hysell's making eyes at /msgboard/images/clipart/proud.gif

you know it

All that I can say is...I'm at a 901 player rating! OH YEAH! Movin' up in the world!

Ford

I just shot a personal best and family record one under par 55 at Emerald Isle! I had three bogeys, all on consecutive holes, all three drives on the green for OB.

Did you repair your disc mark?

Stay off the greens and you will be rewarded

Breaking news from the Stillwater Classic-
Jeff Ash and Kyle Power both take cash in a sanctioned PDGA event and end their storied Amateur careers./clipart/proud.gif

Way to go Jeff!! Too bad I cashed first. HaHaHaHa!!

Mike D

Congrats to you both!

way to go Jeff. Had a chance to watch you play this weekend. Very salty!!!

I carded the lowest score in Round 4 and tied the course record at the Women's Nationals last weekend. Yes, I did beat Des and Juliana for one round!

I think someone needs to wake me up now, I'm sure it was just a dream.

I'm getting ready to put the PDGA on the map!!! $$$$$$$$$$$==for all that act quick, and have FAITH. More later. Stay tuned!!!!!
