And the decision is made:

I can't play either one. My daughter has TWO marching band competitions that day, so I'm not playing either one. I'd have played the Legacy event if I'd been able to play one, though.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Our event is August 30th. Come on down to north texas

Where are you throwing it at? I might make a trip if it isn't to far.

It probably depends more on the TD then the company. Ace races are meant to be set up with shortened holes that even first timers have a shot at making, but some TDs still put up 200+ feet holes.

Really the discs don't matter that much so go with the course or with people you know.

^this. Ace Races are more about who you're with than they are about the DG. Some TD's ask for people to put up prizes for whatever category the donator chooses; first ace, oldest/youngest person to ace, most metal hits with no aces, first person to ace whose birth month doesn't end in "R," person with the longest hair to ace... crazy fun stuff.

Additionally, I'd recommend not making your first round at a course an Ace Race... not becuase of the competetion, but because you don't really play the course as intended, in a normal round, so you kinda miss out on what it's like to put and take upshots, etc. Many TD's shorten holes, make new temp holes specifically for Ace Races, so pretty much any way you slice it, you don't get the full experience.

Posted before I saw this, but good choice. As an involved parent, sometimes your schedule is not your own, but I really loved supporting the activities my kids were involved in when they were in school.

Its at Gordon Lake DGC in Iowa Park, Tx. About 15 minutes from Wichita Falls.

^^^^ what he said. I'm making the trip from south Fort Worth for it. Mostly cause I'm assisting him lol. But there are now 5 courses to play in the area. And with the way it's going there may be a big ace pot for the Sunday night mini.

I saw a guy throw a Patriot about a year ago, only time I've seen Legacy actaully in the air around here. My buddy got a couple Rivals a while back just to try out & the plastic was awful. It was pearly but hard as a brick. The local shop carries Legacy but most of the premi plastic is like that, hard as can be
