Finally snagged my first ace today on #9 at Bill Allen Memorial in The Colony, TX. Was pretty stoked. I believe the hole was about 190' straight down a tree ally with the pin hidden behind a tree to the left at the end. Put the Buzzz on a nice hyzer line and heard the sound of plastic mashing chain. You can't see the pin from the teebox so I had to sprint down there to confirm it, and it sure was as ace. Fortunately, I was playing with someone else, so I even had the witness!

I know which hole you're talking about. Nice shot. Love that course.

I only started playing seriously in March, so that put me at 8 months after hitting the ace today. This was my first time playing Bill Allen Memorial and I really enjoyed the course. The back nine is crazy hard though and my ace was quickly erased with several trips into the woods.

I am still surprised when I get a birdie. I will faint if I ever get an ace.

My first ace
It took me about 4 months into my first year of disc to nail my first ace with a buzzz. and then about 2 weeks later I hit my second ace! Now its been about a month and I feel like I'm in a major slump

I remember how my expectations continued to change when I started playing. At first, all I wanted was a par. Then, birdies started to become a possibility. Then, I expected birdies on a semi-regular basic. And lastly, I started wanting the metal. Once you hit metal, you'll be hooked for the ace. :|

0 real aces and 6 thumbers that rang chains 3 of those passed through the chains but couldn't hold the basket. All at distances of 225' or more. This is in about 6 months of playing.
I'd like to say "aces don't matter, it's birdies that win rounds", but that's because I've never experienced making an ace...

That's because you throw dyed discs. They fly better, just like 'Poth's sig says.
I've hit aces in practice, but I suppose I play too conservative when competing to make one that counts.

Play doubles at all? Prob the best way to hit an ace in competition. One guy parks it and the other runs at it, alternate who goes first on every hole
