Broken disc...half ace...?

[EricBB]

This didn't happen recently but just popped into my head yesterday while playing. A few years ago I was teeing off on a very short hole (about 150ft. I think). I was throwing a disc with a slight crack in it from hitting a tree earlier in the round. (DX plastic) Anyways, I nailed the basket off my tee shot and the disc broke into 2 separate pieces. NEITHER of the 2 pieces landed in the basket on my shot, but what would you call it if one of the pieces had somehow managed to stay in and not fall through the bottom of the basket? I realize the rules say throwing a cracked disc is not allowed (which, in my case, it was). However, a disc could break in half without being cracked beforehand. I know this is all pretty unlikely, but just wanted to see what other people thought- or if anyone had experienced anything like this?

it counts just like Roy Hobb's HR in the Natural counted

 

[CwAlbino]

If the larger of the pieces landed in, yes it is an ace by rules because you are supposed to take the larger piece, which would be in the basket.

 

[zenbot]

The largest piece would count, I believe.

but what if it was half 50/50 equal?

If you could break a disc into perfectly equal pieces then you win the game and never need to play ever again.

If it was exactly equal I'm sure the person who threw would be allowed to choose. If you don't choose the one in the basket well......your dumb!

Just go break the other piece.

True...

E. If the thrown disc breaks and comes to rest in more than one piece, the largest piece, as
agreed to by a majority of the group or an official, is deemed to be the thrown disc.

You and your "rules"

Well...nobody else was cutting and pasting. The void needed to be filled.

I can just imagine someone in a tournament taking a provisional on this and taking the broken pieces back to tourney HQ to be measured, or possibly even weighed.

And to make matters worse, imagine if the unfortunate party missed their putt on the piece that landed outside the basket, meaning there would be two strokes riding on those measurements.

On a lighter note, if this happened, do your friends only sign the part of the disc that landed in the basket, and do they only owe you $3.50 each instead of the whole five bucks?

You place it on an altar like Narsil and then later reforge it as Andúril to win the World's.

(Oh Jebus. I am a dork.)

It's okay, I totally understand what you are talking about, and that's just as bad.

Help me.

 

[mashnut]

One disc to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them...

 

[CwAlbino]

Help me.

Never fear, the white wizard is here!

Another Zenbot classic

Biggest piece if the disc is legal which its wasnt. But the biggest piece is where you take it. And yes if its half and half, you win a million dollars!
