Centerville Grace Church May 23, 2026 · Centerville, OH, USA Hole 12 · Centerville Grace DGC, Short Circuit 18 MVP Neutron Stasis In the morning, I played Echo Valley BYOP with Scott Jenkins, shooting -14 (2nd place). Was lounging around home in the late afternoon and Donald Huff messaged saying they were going to play the new church course right by my house. Jack Jordan was staying with us for the summer, so I asked him to tag along.

The course was sopping wet. We played the Single Circuit layout (1 and 10, then 2 and 11, etc.) to save time. When we got to Hole 12, as I stepped up to the tee I told everyone, "This is the first ace on this course I'm going to get." I then threw my Stasis on a baby hyzer high and o
Moraine Rotary DGC September 28, 2025 · Dayton, OH, USA Hole 3 · Regular tees Discmania Horizon Color Glow C-Line Cloud Breaker Becca was taking Claire back to GLAA after her first home leave. I called Donald Huff and asked if he wanted to play anywhere. I was thinking Winton or Germantown as I was long overdue for an ace (it had been almost 9 months). He wanted to bring the family/dog, and so suggested Moraine.

I missed two short putts on holes 1 and 2, but made up for it with a monster smash on hole 3! It went straight and then started to fade slowly, I thought it was going to be long but Donald kept saying 'Go in, go in, go in...!'. When it stuck, I was momentarily stunned. Discs don't go in from that far.
Kercher Community Park February 6, 2025 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Kastaplast K1 Berg I told myself that if I finished writing a test I could leave work early and brave the cold/wind to try and get my first 2025 ace. Got to Twin Creeks Red about 3 pm and said I was going to play as many rounds as it took to at least hit metal. Started on hole 6 (to avoid having to walk too far in the cold). Birdied the first 2 holes with park jobs, walked up to the third hole (hole 8) and fired a Beorg right at it with a snap forehand. It was in the entire way, smashed dead center, top/bottom, left/right...there was no doubt unless it bounced back off the pole. Also hit bogey band on hole 1,
Greenwood Acres December 20, 2024 · Amissville, VA, USA Hole 11 · Regular tees Westside VIP Swan 1 Reborn Private course accessed by rough dirt road. Joe is making a treehouse of sorts in the woods. 18 holes with signs and quality Dynamic Veteran baskets. Most holes are quite short, I buzzed the basket a couple of holes earlier by throwing hard right at it. Hole 11 is a very tight window off the tee, slight uphill, 198 ft. Threw the Swan 1 Reborn slight hyzer hard. It popped to flat and was flying at the basket the entire way. I was sure it was going over, but dropped just in time for an ace back to back days! Joe was so excited that someone aced his course, he wrote all over the back of the
Dorsey's Knob DGC December 19, 2024 · Morgantown, WV, USA Hole 4 · Regular tees MVP Proton Deflector Driving alone on the way to VA for Christmas 2024 at the Finleys, stopped at my last course for the day as the sun was dipping towards the horizon, Dorsey's Knob just outside Morgantown, WV. Very scenic and extremely hilly course (42 flights of steps in ~1 hr round). Played the shorts. On hole 4, threw a forehand Deflector wide left on a shorter 217 ft downhill hole. The blue basket was out of sight just past/between a grouping of trees. I heard the disc hit the tree, and then heard the crashing of chains. I ran up assuming I actually went in the white (long) basket, and went I crested the
Kercher Community Park November 30, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 15 · Black Course Innova Halo Destroyer Playing the Black Saturday at Germantown 2024 with Scott Jenkins as my partner. High 20s, cold and windy. On the card with David Ziemba and Eric Baker. 14 down through the first 17, got to 15 Black and Scott piped one up the gut but it faded a little too quickly and got knocked down. I threw my Halo Destroyer hard and flat at the center gap, was afraid it might reach the far line of trees but it began to fade and went out of sight left behind the trees. I turned to walk away and heard 'clang'...turned to my cardmates and Scott said laughing, "Did that hit metal?!" We ran to the right to
Kercher Community Park October 23, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 5 · Regular tees Westside VIP Swan 1 Reborn Practicing for New Era Marathon tournament with Donald Huff. Started on Hole 6 by the pavilion and played through the first round of reds finishing on the tough hole 5. Normally throw a forehand fairway up the tight left gap, but a storm knocked several trees down so I told Donald "I think the line is a putter straight up the gap and high." Threw my Swan 1 Reborn on a hyzer straight up the middle and made the gap. The disc flew straight then started to face because of the height. We heard chains crash right behind us from Devin Hoffer on hole 4, but also heard what sounded like chains from
Kercher Community Park October 20, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 18 · Regular tees Discraft Ti FLX Zone Practice round for New Era marathon, first time through course got to hole 18 and threw a forehand hyzer high left around all the trees. It spiked straight into the cage and stuck. Whooped it up and Roy Skidmore and his daughter heard it on hole 1. Back to back days with aces twice this summer!
Kercher Community Park October 19, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 1 · Regular tees Discmania C Line P3x Practicing for New Era Marathon tournament. Ran up to hole 1 trying to beat 2 other guys who arrived at the same time. They let me play through and I proceeded to throw the perfect shot straight into the basket right out of the car! Really fun way to start the round.
Twin Creek-Black course Kercher Park August 10, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 4 · Regular tees MVP Neutron Detour Signed up last second for the 2nd Annual Germantown End of Summer Showdown (which I ended up winning and got my first 2024 1000-rated round). Decided to run over and shoot a quick practice round Saturday night. The basket was up on the hill, requiring a late-breaking forehand or smooth turnover. I opted for the turnover and let the Detour go, which I'd only had for 2 weeks, a little too early and it cut high and tight on the main tree to miss. It moved out of sight and I moved left to try and get a view and heard chains! Turned a quick video on and ran up and sure enough, it was sitting in
Echo Valley DGC June 27, 2024 · Springboro, OH, USA Hole 5 · Blue Tees Discraft Big Z Fierce My normal Luna throw had been hyzering into the left trees on Hole 5 @ Echo Valley so I threw my Big Z Fierce up the left counting on the understability to move it slightly right. Thought it was going to hit trees, but as it went down the steep hill it held just enough to avoid them and started moving slowly right. I was sure it was going to hit the huge guardian tree, but it snuck past. I was sure it was going to then cruise over the top of the basket, but it hit high chains just right of center, did a couple of rotations up in the chains, and then dropped into the bucket.
Jones Park June 11, 2024 · Emporia, KS, USA Hole 1 · West, Jones WEST GBO 2023 layout Discraft ESP Undertaker Had a bad round 2 for Masters Worlds 2024 at Olpe and came to Jones West to practice for the next day. Stepped up to Hole 1 in the wind and just threw the Undertaker hard straight at the basket. It gave a nice little flex line that hyzered back. I thought I heard chains, but the winds were high and I figured it splashed. Two guys came running up over the hill yelling 'That stuck! It's in the basket!" The guy waiting to throw behind me came up and took my picture, while the guys ahead waited for me to catchup so they could sign the disc.
Eagle DGC June 10, 2024 · Olpe, KS, USA Hole 8 · Olpe Lake Open - Short Innova GStar Thunderbird Playing my first practice round at Eagle DGC @ Olpe for Worlds 2024. The flooding caused some temp holes to be used. Hole 8 (265 ft) was wide open with trees behind, quite windy so I threw an easy hyzer GStar Thunderbird. I was practicing with 1 guy and a couple had just walked up on us to walk the course. The man of the couple said "That has a chance!" It crashed chains, it was the first ace the lady of the couple had ever seen in person.
Flint Hills Technical College June 9, 2024 · Emporia, KS, USA Hole 5 · 9 Hole DGS Pro Line Quake Playing Course 654 during Masters Worlds 2024, windy day, Hole 5 is a blind forehand. Threw the Quake high and hard enough to push around a telephone pole. Barely heard chains and ran around the corner to see the disc sitting in the basket. Facetimed with Justin (who was playing in MN) and celebrated virtually.
Lobdell Reserve May 18, 2024 · Alexandria, OH, USA Hole 3 · Short tees DGS Pro Line Quake Playing in the Brent Hambrick Memorial Open, played an abysmal round 1 (870 rated). Fought back with a 962 rated Round 2 at Kinslow and started Round 3 on chase card with David Gibson, Bill Vanderhoof and Mike Riffle. We had a shotgun start beginning on Hole 3. Bill was up first and threw his forehand into the rough on the right. The guys were chatting about the shot and I simply stepped up and threw my Quake on a forehand with a little anny flex straight down the fairway. The hole has a slight left to right slope, with the basket tucked into the woods. The disc came out of the anny and
Kercher Community Park February 11, 2024 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 4 · Black Course Kastaplast K1 Soft Reko Delivered the UDisc sign to Adam, played a round of Reds, found a Discraft Roach in the basket on Hole 18. Ran to the parking lot and found the owner. Decided to play a round of Blacks, then aced hole 4. Perfect slow turnover to the short pin position. Yelled when it went in, group ahead of me cheered and the father/son behind me took my picture. Felt like a karma ace :)
St Paul's Journey DGC December 23, 2023 · Stevensville, MI, USA Hole 5 · Regular tees Kastaplast K1 Soft Berg Playing 3 new to me 9-holers on an early super foggy and misty morning Christmas weekend at the parentals. First off was St. Paul's Journey DGC in Stevensville, MI. A bunch of short holes. Came to Hole 5 which was rather scenic with the tee right next to a large creek. Took a picture of the tee sign with the included biblical text and texted Becca proving that I was at 'the church of the flying disc'. I then proceeded to throw a backhand Berg perfectly through the gap to a blind basket. It hyzered in and I heard chains. Ran around the corner and was flabbergasted to find it sitting in th
Andrews University August 11, 2023 · Berrien Springs, MI, USA Hole 12 · Regular tees Discraft ESP Raptor Playing at 10 in the morning with rather dewy grass. The previous round at AU on Hole 12 I threw long with a driver, so stepped down to my ESP FLX Raptor and threw a hard forehand with a tiny bit of anny to flex through the left gap. It came out with enough height to allow it to fade back and as it was crashing I thought 'This has a chance!'. It crashed chains and stuck! I looked around, and with no one in sight Facetimed Grant to talk him through the shot and have him see the disc in the basket. 288 ft forehand ace!
Winton Woods August 3, 2023 · Cincinnati, OH, USA Hole 11 · Regular tees Kastaplast Berg Doing a warm-up round before Crossover's Thursday night C-tier, threw an anny forehand K1 Soft Berg starting to the right of the main guardian tree and moving right to left. Came in dead center of the chains and stuck. The group behind me yelled out that it was bad luck to ace the shortest hole on the course. I proved them wrong by taking 1st place that night!
Liberty Park June 7, 2023 · Batesville, IN, USA Hole 9 · Regular tees Discraft Buzzz Playing the course for the first time with Donald and William. Gave 2 Baggers to some kids skateboarding in the park who asked about disc golf before the round started. Then as I was walking up to hole 8 after the tee shot, I was commenting on how it was a fun little course with ace runs and that if you didn't have an ace, you should play short courses like this more often. I then proceeded off Tee 9 to throw my Brad Schick Buzzz on a slight hyzer at the basket. The wind gave it a 5-8 ft 'kick' up into the air and Donald said, "ooooh, nice lift, go in the basket!". It crashed chains t
Bethesda Christian Church April 15, 2023 · Brownsburg, IN, USA Hole 2 · Regular tees Discmania P2 During the 46th annual Spring Disc Golf Invitational, Matt, Dan, and Danny each threw their drives off hole 2 at First Christian Church DGC in Evansville, IN. It was a nice short water carry (150 ft) to an open basket, clearly begging for an ace run. I filmed each of them, with both Matt and Dan making good hyzer runs at the basket. I then got ready to step up to the tee and Matt said "Here, I'll record you" asking for my phone. I said "No, I'm fine" and put it away. I then laced a small hyzer directly into the basket! It was a great start to an amazing day! Matt also got an ace (at
Caesar Ford Park July 2, 2022 · Xenia, OH, USA Hole 1 · Championship course, Blue Tees/A pins Axiom Envy Teeing off for the 2nd round on lead card, first throw for the group off the tee, it was in the entire way. Statement shot that I was not going to be caught that day. Ended up winning the tournament by 8 strokes.
Crossing Church April 9, 2022 · Kernersville, NC, USA Hole 15 · Blue Discraft Raptor Playing doubles with Matt vs Dan and Jeremy on Matt's 2022 Bday trip. Matt threw a Justice on the dogleg right hole through tight trees. It was far too short and right, so I threw my Raptor FH on a high dead straight line, it went 180 ft and then the fade started kicking in and it just completely crushed the chains. Hugs all around, as well as whoops and hollers that reached the guy behind (who was filming the island hole with him throwing in a tie?!).
Kercher Community Park January 26, 2022 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 6 · Regular tees Discraft Magnet Played the infamous 'Brown' course when I took a deuce on Hole 23. Spit out a forehand Zone on Hole 27. Decided to play through the Red course even though it was sunset. Threw the Magnet on a soft turnover line...flew straight into the basket.
Echo Valley DGC September 3, 2021 · Springboro, OH, USA Hole 5 · Blue Tees Discraft Luna Playing by myself on a Friday after work, throw the Luna on a slight turnover starting on the left side and moving right (to avoid the trees on the right). It got past the trees, then started to drift left and drop. I thought the line was good, but was sure it was about 10 ft. over the basket. I bent down to pick up my bag as I figured it would be beyond, maybe C2. It was then that the sound of chains reached me! I just stood there stunned, not quite believing that my putter had actually found the basket 335 ft. down the hill. I looked around and heard the older man with walking his dogs ap
Community Park May 13, 2021 · Channahon, IL, USA Hole 2 · Short tees Discraft Zeus During the Canyons trip with Dad to Joliet, IL. Played the Community Park links style course. 1st hole was over water, 320 ft. I overthrew it. Told Dad 'I need to throw the same shot on a little more hyzer'. Ripped it high and to the right, disc drifted back and just slammed chains! Dad heard it but did not see it. I yelled a bit and the 2 guys on Tee #1 heard me. Longest ace I've had!
Edison Community College September 26, 2020 · Piqua, OH, USA Hole 8 · Duke Foundation DGC, Short tees Discraft Wasp Played the course solo for the first round (first time to the course). On hole 17, Jim Fellows joined me for his first hole (parked in a different parking lot).. Seemed like a nice guy so I offered to play the course through with him. He has played 500+ courses in 43 states and is a competitive Pro for 50+. On hole 8, in 15+ mph L->R crosswind, I threw the Wasp just to the right of the pin. It never hyzered, as the wind was keeping it going straight...it was on a line from the moment I let it go and it just hit dead center and stuck! I was stunned, turned around to see Jim stunned and the
Moraine Rotary DGC May 31, 2020 · Dayton, OH, USA Hole 5 · Regular tees DGS Quake In our electronic world we are often bombarded with the 'Are you sure' and 'Please click to confirm' prompts. Today I experienced the best case scenario, as you can see in the video. I had made an ace for the first 4 months of 2020, but had written off May. After winning my Dayton Match Play Round 1 match this morning, I decided to check out a possible course for Round 2. I helped a group of guys find a lost disc and retrieve it from a pond, and received almost instant karma payback when I hit my May ace with about 10 hours to spare! Forehand DGA Quake, had to hit a ~10 ft gap through two
Winton Woods April 21, 2020 · Cincinnati, OH, USA Hole 12 · Regular tees Discraft Zombee I switched to Discraft in January, following PP over, and since I'm an old guy who has no hope of aspiring to anything more exciting than getting to buy new plastic, Discraft opened up an entire new money pit to explore. That said, I've also had 1 ace/month since then, earning my April ace yesterday. Two guys offered to let me play through on hole 12 in Winton Woods, (I roll solo in this season) so I quickly stepped up, grabbed my Zombee, and let it fly. Then I did the MJ and grabbed my bag and starting trotting down the fairway as soon as the disc left my hand (I mean, they let me play throug
Paint Creek State Park March 7, 2020 · Bainbridge, OH, USA Hole 10 · Regular tees Axiom Pyro Playing Paint Creek SP for the first time, Becca was hiking and Claire was spotting for me in the pine forest. Hole 10 (226 ft) was a sharp right dogleg, completely blind. Claire ran down the fairway to the hard right, pointed and said "it's about 50 feet that way". I threw the Pyro high and dead straight with a forehand. It made the initial tight tree-lined gap, then the stability kicked in and it disappeared to the right. I sat there waiting and watching Claire and then heard smashed chains! Claire looked at me and said "It went in the basket, it's in the basket!". There was whooping
Kercher Community Park February 2, 2020 · Germantown, OH, USA Hole 4 · Regular tees Discraft Zone Played the first 12 Red with Becca, Claire, Sharon and Clara Brouhard. They then went roller-blading while I played through another 18. My brand new Jawbreaker Zone is much less stable than the Z Zone, which was apparent during the first 12 holes. When I got to hole 4, instead of taking the forehand hyzer line, I went up the gut forehand and it did a baby flex straight into the chains! A couple of guys were on hole 11 and came over to congratulate and take my picture for me.
Jackson Park March 31, 2019 · Hendersonville, NC, USA Hole 1 · Regular tees MVP Shock Hole 1 on Matt's Birthday trip in NC. Huge downhill shot (315 ft), crushed down the middle of the fairway, quite windy, hyzered hard at the end and crushed the chains, almost spinning out of the basket as it swooshed around. Dan and Matt and I could scarcely believe it.
The Sinks June 5, 2018 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 18 · Short tees Dynamic Discs Warrant Had disc (DD Patrol, not shown in options here) less than 1 week from the Trilogy Challenge at Meeks Park. Threw a high anny that floated straight in on a high anny line. People at the practice basket heard it.
Camp Jordan DGC April 17, 2018 · East Ridge (Chattanooga), TN, USA Hole 9 · 18 hole layout Dynamic Discs Suspect Asked John Gray what he threw on the island hole. He said a putter (I always threw a mid). I tried my Suspect, a high line with room to hyzer...and it went straight in. People walking nearby on the CJ paths were unimpressed lol.
Southern Adventist University March 4, 2018 · Collegedale, TN, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Westside Sword Took the girls (Claire, Hope, and Norah) to Johnston Woods to play, threw my Sword straight at the 'basket' (two stumps with a flag on top). All 3 girls saw me hit the top stump (as well as the sound of wood chopping). If it had been a basket, it crushed it dead center...and the girls all wanted to sign the disc, so I'm calling it my 11th ace.
Jack Mattox Recreation Complex September 1, 2017 · Ringgold, GA, USA Hole 5 · Regular tees Dynamic Discs Justice During our mini tournament at Dany's private home course, with very windy (almost laughably) conditions, threw a huge hyzer and it disappeared behind the shed. When we walked up, there it was sitting in the basket.
Jack Mattox Recreation Complex July 30, 2017 · Ringgold, GA, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Westside Shield Playing Jack Mattox. Perfect dead line, on target towards 8's basket from the moment it left my hand. It was quite windy, and the traffic was so loud, even though there were a couple of guys on hole 6, they didn't hear it, although 1 guy saw it and came running over to congratulate and take my picture.
Madeline Bertrand County Park June 1, 2017 · Niles, MI, USA Hole 17 · Regular tees Latitude 64 Claymore Played with Grant and Lee (hadn't seen him in a decade). Crushed chains on hole 1, but it fell out. Got to hole 17 and threw the disc I purposefully brought for slow turnovers...went in on the slow right anny. Ran up to the basket as I wasn't sure it stuck. One of my best rounds ever.
Shepherd Recreation Center February 12, 2017 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Westside Tournament Bard Played with Becca and Claire, threw the Bard at the 'shaded' tree, perfectly hit my line, and watch the disc slowly tuck right into the basket. 2 guys playing on hole 7 both saw it go in as well.
Southern Adventist University February 1, 2017 · Collegedale, TN, USA Hole 2 · Regular tees Latitude 64 Claymore Warm day in Feb at Johnston Woods, the trees were pretty leafless and the disc snuck through the tree bordering the right side. We both held our breath and it started to slowly fade left...and it just crushed the single chains. Turned around and huge-hugged Matt. It was the first ace he'd witnessed.
The Sinks May 29, 2016 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 13 · Short tees Dynamic Discs Suspect 5th ace (with Trevor Cummings) - Randomly met a guy (Trevor) who played only with a Truth. Asked him what line he threw on hole 13 and he said high hyzer between the trees. I threw the exact line and crashed all chains.
Shepherd Recreation Center May 20, 2016 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Vibram Obex 4th ace (solo) - After the ace On May 19, came back to Shepherd on the 20th.

Shepherd Recreation Center May 19, 2016 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 8 · Regular tees Prodigy M3 3rd ace (solo) - Hole 8 at Shepherd has a perfect focus point, a large pine that gets a shadow about 1/3 the way up the tree in the afternoon. Aimed right for that tree, as it slows, the disc slowly hyzered right into the chains.
The Sinks June 26, 2015 · Chattanooga, TN, USA Hole 9 · Short tees Innova Star Foxbat 2nd ace (with Becca) - Playing the Sinks with Becca. Hole 9 (the elevated basket in the tires) is a blind turnover backhand. Threw the disc and watched it turn over ever so slightly, then we heard chains. Went running up and couldn't believe it actually stuck. My first 2 aces within 1 month of each other.
Jack Mattox Recreation Complex June 3, 2015 · Ringgold, GA, USA Hole 2 · Regular tees Prodigy D3 1st ace! (with Becca and Claire). Playing Mattox with Claire and Becca. Just had received the Air D3 at the Schusterick clinic the week before. Threw it on hole 2 on a rope, and it didn't deviate and just crushed chains. Turned to look at Becca and we were all just in disbelief. If it had missed, it would have been 40 ft past the basket.
