he can have his 60 aces... i'll settle for deucing 19 & 25 at Flyboy.
a 90 ft ace!! haha
FYI the odds of a 900 rated player to make a hole in 1 from 150' is 1/238, 125' 1/140, 100' 1/83
This would have been a fun study to be apart of .
Why is he shouting out the course after the "ace"? I can go out to the middle school course and run mids at 160ft holes all day but I don't think I'd consider any of them aces. As long as he's having fun and out playing though not my place to call it. I think he could take on cubby in a short ace showdown.
If your shot from the tee goes in, its a ace. I never seen or heared of any distance limit. It's the definition of what a ace is.
I would modify this to say that if your first shot from the tee during a normal round goes in than it is an ace. An ace is a "1" on your scorecard, not any throw that goes in the basket from the tee. If you are throwing multiple times from the tee then you aren't really keeping score - you are practicing, and if one of your practice shots goes in then all I think you can say is that you finally figured out how to throw that hole.
That's why the term "fairway ace" is silly - you made a long throw, that's nice, but to refer to it in any way as an ace is colloquial and incorrect. Is a long putt an "outside the circle ace"?
Years ago during a Supertour event I was TD for Dave Greenwell was called for a foot fault on hole #2 when he teed off.
Warning and a re-throw.
His re-throw went in the basket and was recorded as a 1 on the score card.
Just sayin'.
