Real Aces?

[attik34]

This is how I decide my aces:

1. Am I on the Tee Pad during a round? If so, proceed to 2.

2. Did it go in the basket and stay? If so, proceed to 3.

3. It's an Ace, Mo'fuggah!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All Aces are real aces. These threads are silly.
As long as the it takes only one throw to get said disc from an established tee area into a basket or hit a target it's an ace.

I will even go as far as to say that "extra drives" from the established tee area that go in will count as aces since it only took "one throw" for the disc to go from your designated tee area to it's intended target/basket.

Yes its an ace, but its not worth bragging about.

I have 14 aces.
Two of them are UNDER 100 ft.
They were thrown during a legitimate round with friends & money/beer/food/etc was on the line.
I don't "brag" about them but i still consider them aces.

Ace

Dont tell my wife its nothing to brag about lol. She hit one last night on a 200ft. Slightly downhill hole. Cant even see the basket from the teepad. As she flicked it i told her it was going to be long and then we hear chains and she takes off running to see if it went in. I threw my rhyno and she flicked a blizzard teedevil. Id say its def an ace to brag about.

It only counts if the thrower uses the search funtion.

agreed :thmbup:

" I got an ace, and I want to brag, but it was short so I want to seem cool and act like I am not excited"

 

[CaptainAnhyzer]

im not saying it shouldnt count. scoring wise yea its 1 stroke. its more so me seeing people brag about a shot that really wasnt that impressive. ive made more impressive shots than some people brag about and the only difference is that the spot they threw from was marked as a tee.

So OVER a certain distance is the deciding factor as to whether a shot is "impressive" or not?

An ace is the BEST score you can get on a single hole. Period. It clearly says "i'm better than you" on that hole, on that day.

Some aces are just easier than others. If it was a tournament and you put the disc in the basket on your 1st throw from the tee box you score it as a 1. That's an ace. Tourney or not, a 1 is a 1, and a 1 is an ace. That's as real as it gets.

What if there are no set tee-pads? Just adding fuel to the fire.

Then you are not playing a hole, you are just practicing shots from various distances.
If there is an implied tee (5 feet left of the previous pin on every hole) then you can count it if it is that important.

i know the definition of it but i dont think a 150 ft ace is anything to brag about

Then don't brag about it. If you think it's so easy at 150' then throw 10 discs at a basket from 150' and let us know how many you make.

Implied as a community? Or implied just as my own personal rules? I can go and say five feet to the left is the "tee" and I make it in one shot it counts in my book but maybe not someone else who plays the tee in a different position.

 

[prerube]

It is a kids course, braging about an ace there is like bragging you beat a blind guy at darts.
just take your ace and let the others play their own safari tees.

 

[c_a_miller]

So it DOES count. Perfect, that is all I wanted to hear.

I use a formula for mine: The number of feet to the basket + the number of trees within X feet to the left or right of the path of the disc * (10 - X feet). If you score over 232, its an ace.

If the basket is 100 ft away and there are 27 trees within 5 feet to either side of the flight path of the disc then you score 235 points and it is an ace.

+15 for a leaner (still working on my first ace).

lol Do you work for the Geek Squad?

If you hit it over the fence fair in any park its a home run, just like if it goes in the basket on your first throw it's an ace. But like home runs, some aces are more impressive than others.

Agreed but the OP's question wasn't whether we thought it was impressive just that if it was a "real" ace. Longer, more technical aces might be "more" impressive, but even a 150' wide open ace is "impressive". It's not like it's something someone does on a regular basis. (i.e. multiple times a game)

Not anymore!

I have an ace on a hole that is 130-140 feet that I am proud of. The 130-140 is the distance from tee pad to basket but to get to the basket you need to throw a 175 foot or so hyzer(my shot was 40 plus feet high.) I don't play the course that often but I was talking to a regular and he didn't even think it was possible.

So no I don't agree with you. Your time would be better spent complaining about course designers who put in short holes.

*For anyone interested it is hole 12 Lippold Park in Crystal Lake IL. But I doubt anyone is interested, because no cares about other people's aces.
