Post Here for longest time playing without an ace

[waynewf]

I'm at or around 10 years....I don't let it get to me too much though, sure it would be nice...but I've gotten to think that there's as much luck as there is skill involved in getting an ace anyway and one of these days I'll get that right gust of wind that will put it in there for me!
It used to bother me more before I started getting so many long shotsunder my belt...I've probably hit 6 or 7 from 150-200 so far this year, I'm not sure an ace would feel much better than that!

None......didn't really get so serious about it until right before this summer though.

Been playing a year and no ace

I feel ya, I use to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure.

5 years and zero aces, hit the chains for the first time today.

 

[edward felcohands]

its been about two and a half hours since my last ace

 

[locuno1]

just over 3 months of playing and haven't been close to getting a ace on long or short holes.

 

[solomon.trenton]

1 year plus and only chains

The guy who taught me to play is still ace-less after 3 yrs. He watched me hit one at highbridge last weekend, the first he's ever witnessed... (it was my second)

I know, Im a jerk for cracking a bottle of Whiskey at your support group meeting, but I couldnt help it.

 

[edward felcohands]

what day were you at highbridge? I was there friday

Two years in between aces, got my second one this summer

 

[mike shoys]

no aces. deflected off the top of the basket once in 4 years...

 

[justindfpr]

I haven't had one since May. Thats ok. Aces don't really matter to me.

 

[jroll]

hit three my first year playing. haven't hit one in about 8 or nine years. I have bounced out a bunch. but no luck

Hit one last night 265ft #6 @ Benedict park

 

[Nodosaurus]

5.5 months.

Ok, maybe I should also add that I've never had an ace.

 

[Miller]

No aces here in a little over 4 years.

Hi my names Paul and I'm a non-aceaholic.

None. Hit the pole twice, the bottom of the basket once and the top of the basket once. About a dozen drop in birdies from 180'-328' So close, and yet...

But believe me when that day comes everyone within a 5 mile radius will here me roar.

I don't get frustrated by it. I believe there is a sliding scale of luck vs skill. The more you play, the more you improve, the farther to the skill side the scale leans. I don't think even the best get 100% on the skill side.

If you throw it, it will cha-ching.

How about 30 years?

I had plenty on short object courses back in the day, and I didn't play more than once every couple of years from 1986 to 2006, but have yet to have one on a regulation target.

Next time I'm in Asheville (wife's family's up there) with some time on my hands, though, I'm going to play as much as possible at Black Mountain to try to rectify that. There's at least three holes on my home course (East Roswell Park) that are readily reachable and that I've parked tee shots on plenty of times, just haven't hit 'em just right yet. But the entire front nine and some of the back nine should be possible at Black Mountain.
