| My First Ace |

While shooting a round with David Demery and friends, I was playing well and held the tee pad going into hole #11. And then, splash! A circle-5 put me to the back of the order coming into hole #12. I was upset. I took out a red, no-name 173 gram Cyclone which I'd found at the edge of the water the day before and, on a 278' pin setting, whipped the shot out of frustration as hard as I could throw it. The disc crashed into the chains and the entire carriage slammed up into the top of the basket. Yet, somehow, the shot stuck and I (finally) had my first ace! Then, eight years later, I received an email one day from Dan Ginnelly of Scottsdale, AZ - someone had found my lost disc, still intact with my ace-data scribbled all over it, and had returned it to "Spinner's On The Green", a disc golf store adjacent to the course. I sent them money for postage and now the disc in back in my possession. Thanks Dan and Sue! |
