How long till you got your first ACE ?

I started playing in 1988 and got pretty serious about it right away, but unfortunately slacked off for a few years here and there.
didnt play my first real tournament till last year.
but I have NEVER hit an ace ?!!
the past few years Ive really picked up my game quite a bit and play as much as I can, but still no ACE.

how long since you started playing till you hit your first ace?

[Gary Burdick]

This year I am at two aces. Last year I had 8 aces. Two in one day, same disc, (2001) CE Roc from the USDGC. They were short holes but a hole in one, is a hole in one. I have had a few that paid well, one was for $456.00 in an ace pool. One was during the Daytona open three years ago, split the ace money with Double G and John E.McCray. We each got around $138.00 apeice.
The only way one will get an Ace is to be able to drive past the basket. A skip Ace does happen, but it has to carry. Come up short and shoot again. When looking at the basket, focus past the basket, have a good grip on your disc

The Daytona Open has 7 players signed up. Tournament date is 7-12&13-08. It will sell out so if you want to play, get registered soon or you to will be shut out.

Turkey Lake Park, Saturday mornings, one Ace pool at $500.00. One guy hit an Ace a few week-ends ago, did not get into the Ace fund. For a dollar he could of had $500.00. Can't win if you don't play or pay. Take care. GB #554

Two of my five aces are skip-aces with the same Banshee 10 days apart, same hole . . . going through the chains with an ace pot at stake 5 days after the second of the two!!!
7-5-07 and 7-15-07 (hole #8 Riverfront DGC); a month later hitting #14 at Riverfront for my first and only basket-ace (before the rest of the baskets were installed at Riverfront) with the same Banshee . . . a month later, same disc into Lake Selmac off hole #6 at Selmac DGC, each course being in my home state, Oregon.

Not bad stories for a guy that's only been playin' 13 months, though! lol I'm thinkin' that I'm due for my sixth ace . . .

oh.. I can drive past the basket , hehe. but I know what you mean, so thanks for the advice.
just bad luck I'm thinking.

I ALWAYS get in the ace pot. never seen it happen but I've heard too many tales about the guy that aced and wasnt in the pot to know better :)

I must be due!!

I started back in 2002, hit my 1st ace in january of last year...then about an hour later (and a round later on the same course), i hit my second ace on the same hole. Hit my 1st tournament ace last november in newport news virginia.

I played for about 11 years before I got mine. I hit so many baskets, went through the chains, and hit poles more times than I can count. Then one day, after we cleaned up one of our courses, I hit it. And it happened in front of 8 other people. It was sweet. There was no better feeling. A month later, I got my second. Keep the faith brother. It will happen.

[beatz]

thats easy, i havent hit one.

[Cody Weber]

No ace.

I've hit the basket, chains, yellow band on thet op of the basket, and the pole, more times than I can count.

I think the disc gods are against me

[Chris Perkins]

4 years and counting without an Ace. although just last week i bounced a thumber off the basket edge

Have you noticed the recently created, "Ace-less Support Group" club formed? Seriously . . . I just noticed it!

Started playing in the fall of 96'. St. Patty's day 97' I hit my first ace with no witnesses. Of course a couple of friends showed up 15 minutes later. Last year in Lansing, MI, our Sat. doubles ace pool was up to $500 on St. Patty's day. 10 years to date, the ace pool should be mine. No ace. Come out the next day play 17, 18, and head to hole #1. What do ya know, ACE. A day late and a dollar short. I have never been so pissed of about getting an ace. I ended up with $10 from the two guys I was playing with instead of $500. About a month later some casual kid that had not been around all winter wins the $625 on one of the shortest holes on the course. He didn't even buy a case of beer for all the people that donated the money over the previous 5 months.

[mark mcgarity]

he has to buy a case of beer?...thats rich,...i would say congrats to him and to you...change your diaper
