Just got an Ace today at lunch with 4 witnesses and a kewt chick that just happened to catch up to us
It's my 3rd Ace on that Disc. Star Stingray.
Hole #9 at West Lake Park.
(threw my new Roc first just to test it out, then threw the Teebird. Didn't count it on my score that round, but still pretty sweet watching that 'Bird hyzer all the way into the chains!)
I have been playing since I was 3 with my dad (now 20) but it was never very serious. We used to have a really short totem pole course that I had 3 aces on with a dx puma when I was a kid but I don't count those. This is the first year I have taken seriously(playing 3-4 times a week, field and putting practice) and I have hit chains/basket 20 times or so but nothing has stuck.
On a side note, would you guys count those aces from when I was a kid as aces or should I keep them in their own category?
Just got my 4th ace today! It was at my home course on hole 4 with the basket in the new position, 175 ft away. Its the second time I have aced this hole. This time I threw my stampless blaze orange E Element straght down the tunnel and just as it was fading it caught chains to rest in the basket. These Elements are sweet!

Ace #9 tonight at OT Sloan in Sanford NC. Hole #9, last hole of the doubles tournament. The hole is only 200 ft with OB behind it. I pulled out my old 10x roc because it was raining cats and dogs and I wanted a little more stability than what a putter can give me. I threw it and it flipped up straight and flew straight into the basket. Hit the center pole and sat down. The ace actually let us tie for 1st, which we took in a playoff hole. $84 ace pool, split with my partner. Not bad.

I finally broke my drought today at Wortman. It's been over 11 months since my last ace (July 4th, #14 Champoeg 321ft.). I hit #7 at Wortman with my perfectly beat DX Roc. Went straight as an arrow (or a beat Roc) through the corridor and hit dead center chains AND it actually stayed in this time...finally. It's not real long, 243ft, but it's an ace.
Very recently started keeping track of specific dates and people who have seen my aces. Some of the ???'s have witnesses, but I am unsure of who they were. All Aces legit, hit 2 in the last 3 days (over 10 or so rounds) <3 my new SOLS!
#1 Hole 2 Woodlawn Park-sidearm
Discraft XL
Moorhead MN
Witness: Buddy, Jeff A
Long time ago
#2 Hole 5 Woodlawn Park-sidearm
Disc: Don't remember (likely Discraft XL)
Moorhead MN
Witness: ???
Long time ago
Who: me (Brad was there and got to witness the awesomeness)
When: about 6:45pm CST
Where: McKinney, Texas - I don't remember the course name
How: I threw the disc from hole 18's teepad to 18's basket all in one shot
To summarize the events: drive 45 minutes to the course you want to play at, go over to a random hole, DON'T warm up at all, grab the first disc that comes to mind, then throw that disc in the general direction of the basket.
It was awesome, my first backhand ace, and it just went dead nutts straight into the basket.
