DGCR Aces 2022

- Start date
I went forehand down the left side.
I've been getting back into some forehand throwing recently and it's working quite well for control shots moving to the right. I really don't have a laser or power forehand though. I throw a firebird because that's about the only disc I have that won't turn over forehand. lol
Short and simple 180' tournament ace with my soft cosmic electron envy. Gettin paid! Woohoo good start.
Good thing because my score was the pits, two under par (2 strokes better than first round last year). Guess I need to lay down a redemption round tomorrow gotta get -10 at least to save face.

I had a day off of work today and it rained almost the entire day. Our leagues were even cancelled but I was still determined to go get at least a few holes in. My friend and I went to go get in half a round (11 holes of the 21 hole course) after the rain finally stopped. I aced hole 11 with a DGA quake on a spike hyzer. It is just a wide open 230ish foot hole. My buddy then realized he left a disc back on hole 7 so I walked with him to get his disc. We played hole 7 again, got his disc, and then played hole 8 as it was on our way back to the cars. Hole 8 is about 300 feet with two rows of trees to shoot down and then the basket is in between two rows of trees running perpendicular the the trees on the fairway. I threw a destroyer into the trees by the basket going for a plinko play and it fell into the basket somehow. Two aces in the span of like 10 minutes.
Two?
Two in one round at the 9-hole Scattersville course near Leesburg. Well, they were hole #2 (47 feet) and #8 (97 feet) so they scarcely count. The funny part was that the guy I was playing with was teasing me on the 8th tee saying that I needed to make a 'real' ace and I then promptly threw it right in the chains. Hilarious. No aces on the Clark's Run course although my buddy did get one deuce (no deuces for me).

Aced the same hole 140' second time that I aced two years ago on October 5th, 2020. It's also my second course ace overall. Old #8 now #18 Upper Salford. A hyzered Vroc dx, pink.
The nice difference today was the park wasn't empty, at least 7 people saw it and 3 gave me shout-outs.
Had to attach 2020 photos, didn't think of photographing it today.

Hit my 9th or 10th of the year on a little 230 foot straight shot into a decent 10 mph head right to left cross. Threw my old trusty Z Zone and I knew it was in about 80 feet out. I love when you know it's going in. The early celebration spit out can be demoralizing though. lol
Hit my 13th ace on the 14th hole at Loutsis Park in Carnation, WA yesterday in front of PDGA #100 John Kirkland (the original Friz Whiz). It was my 3rd ace on that hole and 2nd with my comet, 188ft RHBH. John was giving me form lessons during the round. I guess I'm a fast learner!

I'm on straight fire. Hit a 297 foot ace on Tuesday, 230 yesterday and 352 today.
Geez that sounds pretty awesome, which discs? give us some details!
FWIW I hit my first uplink ace yesterday with my gyropalooza og 176+... so many near misses and great runs. I think I brushed off the stigma. Crappy little 120' at my place, hole 8 hardly worth mentioning haha usually I bang it with a comet.. My favorite hole.. The great equalizer, anyone can do it, kids can do it, most fail.. 120' through trees that look like a pachinko game. 24"-30 gap to get your line.

Ivy been bagging an Uplink recently too. Such a fun disc to throw. I was going to post about it in the gyroholics anonymous thread but didn't wanna get plastic shamed.

Opto 180G Tursas from 297 slight downhill turnover. 230 was with a D Line Tomb 175G basically no wind and mostly straight shot, just slight hyzer flip up. 352 was with a 2021 GG Halo Wraith I think 176G on a slight hyzer tiny head wind, heald flat most of the way just faded it in. I think 352 might be my longest as well in my life. I have to check another hole which might be longer but that one was far downhill with an Envy.

Ace #9 in 17+ years of playing
Hole #8 McCord, FH skip 151 ft with a Star Whippet. That's my second skip ace at McCord with a star Whippet and my third in about 5 weeks after not hitting one for 11+ years.
The shaving cream dye was probably 8 years ago and I just put the puppy stencil on last weekend. I aced with my other star Whippet and was using the backup. I have no more so if anyone is selling premium plastic Whippets.

Woo! Finally notched one in 2022.
Hole 12 Blue at Diamond X with a color glow, flat top Firebird.

It was SWEET! And the $400 ace pot is better than a stick to the eye as well.
