[brentjacobs]

Got one that I've been after since I first started playing. I've drawn at least my fair share of metal over the years so I was quite pleased to finally hole out in one.

Diamond X - Billings, MT
Hole 9 Red(previously Hole 9 Green)
173' Uphill 37'
Basket mounted to the side of a ~15' cliff
RHBH with an Eraser Serpent
Photo cred to @ThrowBot

^ Beautiful throw, buttery smooth and right up the gut.

Last time I saw this hole aced it was with a champ Shryke. So @brentjacobs definitely has some power to dunk it with a Serpent!

So what is the go to shot when you are literally 15 feet under the basket? Fadeaway jumper? Assuming you can do that and not die.

Let us know when, we enjoy playing Sherpa out there and it's much more fun than hacking through blind.

There's a specific boulder that you can lay-up onto, that gives you a putt for 3 from roughly 8' back and 8' below the rim. So it can be a pretty routine par unless the wind is whipping.

Much more possible, I'd say! (But also more fun.)

A little over a month before I play it. I'm not worried about acing anything, just surviving lol.

I'm glad I'll have some solid guides.

Ace while falling off a cliff would be quite the story.

I'm glad I'll have some solid guides.

Yeah, about those guys . . .

I got my 31st and 32nd ace this past week. They were both forehands with sexton firebirds and were my 2nd and 3rd forehand ace ever. I got hole 14 at Bird's Ruins on 9/9 and I got hole 12 from the short tee at Rock River disc golf course today at our doubles league. Both were air shots dead into the heart of the basket.

Hi everyone! First post on here, I'm a 15 year old that's super into disc golf and I just hit my third ace ever last week! Hole 27 at SeaTac with my VIP Harp. It was my first time playing seatac, and my round wasnt going great so i just focused in on the basket on the last hole and... it skipped right into the chains.

 

[wolfhaley]

Finally got one today. Hole 3 at North Wood County Park. 230ish maybe with the same Lucid Maverick I got it with a couple years ago. Thought I was gonna get skunked this year.

Well I went out for a buddys birthday skins match, I missed the first 16 holes.. Played last 2 and front 9.. Down some skins..

Finally bagged #7 tonal with a LHFH Hex, just caught the top... not a great distance maybe 220' but that sucker has haunted my dreams for years. I didn't see it, others did but I heard the faint ping... I can finally cross off the whole front 9!!!!

The downside is the aces I'm missing are all pretty tough.. 13,14,16,24,27.. Not great odds on any of those.. 13/16 I can still reach...but it would take a lucky ass shot... it will take a freaking miracle and some kinda updraft for the other 3.

NICED, Mr. Wellsbranch.

I didn't get one recently, but my best buddy did, at #13 over at Eager Beaver.

We started playing there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, because my younger son has rugby practice nearby. It's such a fun mid-range and putter workout. And you always run into the nicest people...

He couldn't have been smoother in his drive, nor any happier when it stuck. He had to sit down on the bench and take it all in. I'd post a photo I took of that sh*t-eating grin he had, but don't want to infringe upon any privacy concerns he might have.

Go, Mr. Julius. I'm here for you, brother.

Got my second ace this year at Loutsis Park in Carnation, WA on Halloween.. Hole 5 180' RHBH with the same Comet I've aced the hole with twice before. I chained out the day before and hit nubs dead center last week in the weekly dubs tourney. This is an island hole, and if you run the chains there's a good chance you will end up OB long.

Got my 3rd ace this year at Loutsis Park in Carnation, WA today! Hole 14 180' RHBH with the same Comet I aced with the other two times. I released it and said "That's a really nice shot, and I think it's in." CHING!!! It was a very gentle hyser, but it made a lot of noise.

I've never had 3 aces in one year much less two in one month. There was a 20-year drought from 1988-2008, but I was playing more Ultimate than disc golf. I'm having rotator cuff surgery in a couple of weeks, but I'll be grinning as they put me under. Cheers!

Nothing crazy, got my birthday ace with a 165 paradox from my honey for my birthday. Got a short ace 130' ish downhill hyzer, hole #12.

Sequoyah 6, Canton, GA, 11/21

298 per UDisc gentle downhill. Beautiful flex with an Axiom Crave. Got a little lucky on the right side of the S missing a couple skinny trees but brushed the chains and sat down quick in the basket. The highlight of a very up and down round.
