Do aces count if they aren't your first throw?

[Dthunderchicken]

So yesterday I was out playing disc golf with one of my buddies. We each throw our drives and then we start throwing some more discs for fun because it's a hole with n elevation change (goes down and then back up. Well on my friends like 5th disc he threw off the tee he throws this huge hyzer and it sink right in the chains (hole was 340ft.).

Would you count this in your ace total. He wrote Ace #2 and other info on the back of his disc.

Nope.

Wat if ure not keeping score?

Love this one.

I'd say...if "ure" knot keepning scnore...it doesn't count. Zero on the score card. Nice throw though. Sweet. Ching. Awesome.

Zero for the hole....zero for the round.

Makes me wonder what "par" is for a round that isn't scored?

If its thrown from the pad its still a hole in one, wouldnt call it a ace though. For the people that say if i threw ten i would make one i wanna see it lets go to a course you throw ten drives on every hole and see how many you make. Making one from the pad is still a great feeling now matter how many you have thrown before it.

im with trifocal, even if he does type with his feet.

Its a good shot, but not an ace. If I went out and threw drivers all day at a basket, I'm sure I could make one.

How can it be a hole-in-one but not an ace? They're the same thing.

Personally, I would consider it an ace as long as it was thrown legally from the pad. Aces are rare enough that you should count every one you get....enough said.

the one in hole-in-one stands for one throw from the tee, not one as in strokes. As long as it only took one throw from the tee into the basket its a hole in one(throw) , an ace is also a hole in one but the difference is its a hole-in-one throw and stroke. If the guy in this story counted strokes hed have shot a 5-6 and by definition an ace is one stroke"."

What? I've played both ball golf and disc golf for years. They mean the same thing...they're synonyms. Do you consider it a "hole-in-one" if you throw it out of bounds on your first shot and tee up another and make it? By your definition, you are implying that this situation would be a hole-in-one that would count as a 3. Definitely not.

 

[locuno1]

i would say no because the only time a ace should ever count is if your actually playing for a score, and its on your first throw instead of unloading your bag to try to get lucky enough to have one go in. although would you count it as a ace if you had a practice basket lets say 300' away and you unload your bag on it and make every disc in on it's first throw?

What if you are playing by yourself and you get an ace? That would be the worse!

 

[scarpfish]

What if you are playing by yourself and you get an ace? That would be the worse!

Why? That's still an ace. In fact, thats how I got both of mine.

 

[lilpup8]

No one would see it! Who would believe me if I got one? No one to share the memory with. Well I doubt I ever get an ace. And I hardly play by myself.

Who is with you is irrelevant.

exactly. hole in one means one on the card, same for ace.

 

[3monsterboys]

yeah sorry dude has to be first toss off the tee pad, but it still looks cool going straight in the basket.

 

[magictenor1]

5th shot off the tee is still a great shot but not an Ace. this is probably the 3rd or 4th thread on the same topic by the way.

 

[sloppydisc]

NO ACE

Rules are rules, black is black, and white is white. Gray areas are for losers and liars. 5th shot is no ace. I have no ace's and may never get one. You may not either. Deal with it.

 

[valkyrie]

I think it counts as an ace, but for the round, he shud take his 1st throw

Been there, done that a couple times. It's very anti climatic. Perhaps I should find some friends.

 

[Drama]

I would still call it an ace. But it's not one of those aces that you get on your first throw. You just don't get that same feeling. It's cool if you throw multiple discs and get an "ace." But it shouldn't count unless you are messing around. It would be nice to know also that the ace was a multi disc ace.


Drama.
