How long it took for your first Ace.

[crimsonsation]

It took me a little over 2 years to get my first and only ace. I actually got it on a hole that I never would've imagined anyone getting an ace on. It was a windy day and I got it on a right turning hole (I throw RHBH).

 

[Skunk]

6 months....it took me 6 months to get my first ace.

 

[GangStar]

Gat my 1st one at a pitch and putt course in about 6mnths gat my 1st one at a real course about a year later.

Took me a little over a month, albeit on a short, 185 foot hole. I'm well aware that it may be years before I get my next - my playing partner is really good, has been playing for 4 years, and has ONE ace, with countless splashouts and basket hits. I've seen him hit the basket or splash out 5 times in three months, twice in one week. BRUTAL.

 

[ACJett]

Started playing last August and just got my 1st ACE over the weekend (Stoked!). So, about a year and four months....

 

[GLong]

two years and a few months. then i aced the same hole with the same disc 5 days later.

 

[ACJett]

^ thats crazy!

 

[JSurmann]

About 6 months. I was a noob and threw a Flash on a 165' hole. (now a putter hole) Pure luck and since then (about 2 years) I've only hit metal twice.

 

[simpletwist]

4 years

 

[jmhoekst]

3.5 years. Then I got 3 more within 3 months. It's addicting.

A friend from college got an ace on his 6th hole ever played! (180ft downhill)
I don't think that record will ever be beaten...

 

[rnance7]

It took me three years to get my first ace...and after that I got 1 per month for the next 3 months...but aces are basically 'bad shots gone right' anyway

 

[Alin]

Since I'm at work, and my first ace disc is at home, I'll take the educated guess and say it took just over a year. I have hit 12 more since...some in bunches, some when least expected, 2 of them called shots, and all very legitimate aces!!

 

[Mr Mirth]

Alas, I'm averaging one a decade... it took twenty years for the first.

 

[B3NDER]

That's an extremely easy question: not ONE damned ace here :thmbdown:

 

[who-dat]

It was a short and open hole. But still probably 185ft. I sidearmed a champ tl and it just got lucky.

Very nice sir!:thmbup:

 

[Dsplayname]

Almost a decade of a dry spell. I just got an Ion though, so hopefully that will help.

 

[Fleshgordon]

Got my first this summer,after 10 years, with a Glo Roc while playing a red-tee round with mids and putters

 

[TOURNEYPLAYER]

Playing almost 18 years, no aces. Plenty of Chains, rip thru, medal.

ouch. thats a long time. 3 months for me. been playing almost 3 years now and only have 6. a guy I know hit his first 2 aces on back to back days in a tournament on two diff courses. double ace pot.

 

[IHearChains]

I got my first one within about 10 rounds of starting disc golf, totally lucky shot on a hole of about 160ft. Then it took a couple years before I got another.

This seems to happen a lot, that noobs will get one early on, then when they get more serious about golf, no more aces for a long time.

I guess it is a natural progression, start off trying to throw every shot in the chains, then learn to play smart and try to get the shots to finish in the circle. A lot less aces that way!

My first 2 Aces were "bad shots gone good" first was last Dec about a month and a half after I first picked up one of those frisbee "discs". It was in a tourney, didn't get in the ace pot because "no way in heck "I" was gettin an ace" but it was a CTP hole for $50. All of my aces but #2 were in tourney's or mini/club tourneys which is kinda cool. Just hit a year playing this past Oct so I still list them in my sig
