#1 was at hole 10 at Evergreen (Santa Barbara) on 5 July 2003. Threw my CE Leopard on a hyzer line and as it went along, I waited for the time when I'd say to myself, "Nah, too short" or "Nah, too far" but I never said it and the next thing I knew, it spanked chains! What a rush!
When and what course did you have your first disc golf ace?
How long from the time you first started playing the game till your first ace?
How many since then?
By the way,still waiting on mine!!
Most of the time when I have hit mine, it just happens. Usually if I am trying to hit one, the shot sucks.
exactly.
I got my first ace on #12 DeLaveaga "A" position (short left). Downhill shot with a large pine protecting the basket. Threw it flat and aimed left of the basket 25-30 ft., the disc flew flat and straight, then started the left turn dive, it found a window in the pine and slammed into the basket. I had probably played that position 30 times, came close once or twice.
So glad I was playing with a good buddy to witness. I yelled as loud as I could when I saw it stayed in.
Since then, I have had discs deflect off of baskets, chains, etc. but not in.
Now, I concentrate on getting the disc to a location around the basket where it has a chance to get in. I never "root" for an ace, I figure I will enjoy the moment after I see that the disc has come to rest in the basket. It's too heartbreaking to see it come close but not stay in and like some have said, thinking about it while you are in the box is probably not helpful. At some point, it's all up to the disc golf gods.
Good Luck
For you guys that have the aces, did you think you were going to ace the hole, or did it just happen? I find myself wanting an ace so bad, that when I step up to a short hole, I think about aceing it, and then I usually end up blowing my shot.
