the ACE!

Well after 15 years of throwing the ole Innova Dics' around it finally came time for my first ACE! 

Wednesday, better known as HumpDay, was pretty sweet; hit the boat (aka water whip) for a nice cleaning and then headed out to Elon Park to meet Chad for a quick evening round of disc golf on the Eager Beaver course.  The round started out great hoovering around even par-to-1-under then we met up with some random guy named Brian who had never played the course. 

We headed got to hole #10 and our new friend we met mid-course pulled the classic and pulled out some "meds" and asked if it would be ok to partake, we answered, "hey man its a free country and we are throwing discs in the woods, we can't stop ya"......

.....then came the tee shot at Hole #12 (218 feet from teh back tees), Chad had won the hole before (but was still 3 shots back from me) so he had honors......then the B.O.B. was up........

I pulled out the ole mid-range/putter the Skeeter First-Run and tried to throw the normal right to left glide.....we watched it turn around the left tree perfectly then start the sidewinder wrap back to the right a bit and then CHING!  hit the chains in the dang middle!  First hole-in-one EVER!


Chad and I went nuts jumping around and high-fiving like we just invented that, all while our friend said, "dude, that deserves a hit"  (of his "meds" of course)...........not into that type of celebration Mr. Brian, but go ahead I guess! 

So I finished the day with a decent -1 under and a Hole-in-One........yeah I'll take it!  Got back to the lot and added my name to the "Hole-in-One" boards......


Then as in classic "Hole-in-One" fashion, the person who gets the Hi1 buys the rest of the folks he's playing with beers (more of a golf course rule, but should pertain to disc golf too).  So Chad and I headed over to Wings-n-Rings and enjoyed some cold CodeBlues!
